Fixes:

• Fixed a case where some steering wheels would not have any Force FeedBack due to their lack of support for square or sawtooth wave signals used since our last update for flatspots and curbstones.
• Tweaked the default Force FeedBack settings for Direct Drive wheels by reducing damping, increasing rack percentage and scaling the maximum output.
• When using a controller that has no wheel rotation (such as a gamepad), the Wheel Angle setting in car setup is now properly static instead of appearing to be changeable and then resetting itself.
• Fixed a case where tyre pressure changes would sometimes not apply.

Content:

Announcement:

In this update, we had to heavily modify the looks of some fantasy liveries that had Red Bull sponsoring since their original release. The Red Bull brand guidelines now enforce the brand to only be used as replica's of existing cars and liveries, never on fantasy cars. As some of the liveries were sold, we will be looking into refunding the 29 vRP's to your in-game wallets in the coming days.

The liveries affected are:
- Formula Raceroom 2 #1
- Formula Raceroom 2 #2
- Formula Raceroom 3 #2
- Formula RaceRoom Junior #18
- Pagani Zonda R #73
- Porsche 911 GT3 Cup #11
- RaceRoom Canhard R51 #15

Changelist:

• Ranked Multiplayer - Added an option to set minimum requirements in rating and safety for a player to be allowed in a ranked session. Added a filter for this to the MP lobby list menu.

Added “safe” default profiles for the 3 variants of Simucube 2 wheelbases. We still have to fix some forces not being stopped upon pressing ESC and sawtooth effects, which we will do together with the hardware manufacturer.

• Various improvements to simulating Electric powered cars for player and AI, pitstops, etc.
• AI - Improvements to their handling of traffic in multiclass racing
• AI - Improvements to their decision making in going for a defensive line while being followed

• Tweak to AI's understanding of gravity and forces to improve their behavior on slopes and banked corners.
• Further tweaks hoping to catch some remaining timing discrepancies when spectating MP races
• Backed out an older fix for driver names being offset above opponent cars when playing with a low FOV as it had introduced an arguably more annoying intense vibration of the driver names when close to player. Let’s live with an offset for now while we wait for a better fix.
  
  

Content updates:

• All cars - Adjustments to behavior of the tyres once they've been covered in dirt, grass, gravel. As a consequence of those changes, the sounds for pebbles hitting the car are going to feel a bit fainter.

Known issue

• Ningbo main layout has a wrong cut detection in the left turn just before pitlane entry. The only way to record a laptime there right now is by keeping left after the apex. Other Ningbo layouts are not affected. We’re still investigating what’s up with this and will fix as soon™ as possible.
