    Triple screen working beautifully here. Many many thanks!

    Renamed and started with a fresh ...\Documents\Simbin\Raceroom folder which I had not done in a long long time.

    Graphics look better and performance improved. Running 90+ fps with "High" + 4x MSAA settings on a 980ti.

    The steering resistance feels lower than before. Does anybody know how to increase it without increasing the other ffb settings?

    Disappointing but symptomatic of today. You couldn't say thanks for all the hard work that the whole team put into this patch before you complained.

    Can't start the game.
    Just after the update I could start the game but it was very slow and every second time I tried to start a practice session I was thrown back to the menu.
    But when I try to start the game now it gives me the following error:

    Can't connect to server.
    Error code 0.


    And when I clock OK it opens up a web page where it says Bad Gateway.

    I have restarted my computor and done a file integrity check but it didn't help.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong?

    As a silent user and reader I have to break my silence now.

    Thank you Sector3 - all you guys rock! All the tears from the kids screaming "when is it coming, it is a shame" and you were just like your head down and working. I raced the AMG GT3 today...good god that is so much fun! I thank you so much. In my opinion it is now physicswise the absolut best sim...specially on the Nordschleife the driving performance is a lot more suitable to the cars than for example Assetto Corsa.

    Thank you again and keep on the good work. Awesome job!

    the basic steering resistance, for example when you stand still and turn your wheel the tires have friction to ground and give a resistance in the wheel. I don‘t know how to describe it better, sorry ^^.

    Hi.
    Sector 3 , great job and love the new gt3 cars. Triple screen works great , the visuals are wondeful!!!

    That said , I don't notice a difference between 32 and 64 bit. Load time are slow as well.. when starting the game it takes a long time to get to the first menu. If I watch task manager the game fluctuaes from normal to not responding...
    Once in the game everything works pretty good until I go to race and when I hit drive it takes quite awhile (40 seconds) .same thing with task manager.fluctutes to not responding.

    New gt3 cars are fun but my times at spa are 2 seconds slower than before. :(

    This... shouldnt have changed at all since this specific feeling hasnt been changed in... 2 yrs?

    With this change to the GT3 cars, you may be feeling that your FFB is too light overall in some of the cars. I would recommend going into the car setup, clicking on steering options, and increasing the car specific FFB multiplier a few clicks. This should bring back some of the weight in the wheel if you feel a certain car is too light. Note, that this only affects the single car you change this on. Which is nice since it doesnt interfere with your overall FFB settings, or affect other cars.

    If this still doesnt improve things... there is a value specifically for stationary friction in your controller xml.

    To alter that value, go to: My documents / my games / simbin / RaceRoom Racing Experience / user data / control set... and then right click on your controller profile. Select Edit.

    In the window that appears, scroll down until you get to the section that has a bunch of lines that refer to FFB. At the top of this FFB section, there will be a line titled, "FFB Stationary Friction= 0.x". Increase this value to have more resistance while you are stationary. I would recommend going up in increments of 0.1. Then exit the document and make sure you save it, otherwise your changes wont take effect.

    I think the first option might improve the feeling, and if not, the 2nd one should.

    Cheers

    A very nice update. Thanks, guys. :)

    Initial impressions:
    Better frame rates at Spa.
    Better AI. Less barging and shunting. Better spacial awareness.
    Better physics and FFB.
    Minor contact between cars is less 'catastrophic'.
    There seem to be less turn one crunches with bigger grids. Yes, they are slow at times, but they all get through.


    The only downside at the moment is I'm spending too much time admiring the super smooth reflections on the car bonnet and keep missing my braking points! :rolleyes:;)

    Really great update. Before the update I have experienced sudden stuttering. After the update, it flyes, no more stuttering :)
    As for content and other upgrades, GREAT JOB Sector3!

    Well this is weird.... Tried the 64bit and was noticing the backgrounds stuttering when I turned a corner. Tried a few things no difference. Tried 32 bit and problem solved. Anyone else had similar?

    Great job with the BOP. I tested 5 cars on Paul Ricard so far which has long straights, high speed corners and slow and twisty corners. So the perfect track for testing the BOP.
    They're all in a 0.2 seconds range so far and that's very good for my driving skills.
    Like the AMG GT3 is almost 8km/h faster on the straight than the Audi R8 but I drive identical times. The R8 is a beast in the high speed corners. So far I'm very happy with the balance. Will test the other cars tomorrow.
