    NOTE: maximum driving time is the key information to follow in endurance races.
    - Added pit limiter popup display when entering the pit entry zone.
    - Added helicam and onboard cameras to the broadcasting app.

    GRAPHICS:
    - LOD adjustments on various models.
    - Wheel rim material adjustments for various cars.
    - Update to Black Falcon team liveries.
    - Potential fix for the random open-close car door animations during gameplay.
    - Fix for brake lights of hidden cars visible when limited opponents visibility is used.

    PHYSICS:
    - New 5 collision points tyre model. Tyres now "climb gradually" over kerbs, sausages, bumps both in lateral and longitudinal motion.
    Completely eliminates the "rail kerb" effect. Greatly improved behaviour over all kind of kerbs, improved precision, improved bumps absorption.
    - Tyre model improvements to better handle high load peak situations and high rolling resistance peaks.
    - Tyre model now simulates lowering of profile while the tyre flexes. Ride heights will be lower during turns.
    - Tweaks to tyre model rolling resistance model. (Fixed and speed sensitive RR variations).
    - New Traction Control operation. TC now simulates a two step operation, acting on the engine ignition timing (lowering power) and if that is not enough, cutting ignition all together as before.
    This permits the TC to have a smoother operation at the start of a slide, permitting the driver to use the slide to turn the car without extreme vibrations or engine cut.
    - New Traction Control logic. TC now takes into account the yaw acceleration, simulating gyroscope sensors as the real cars.
    As a result, even if the slide or slip of the tyres is not enough, a sudden yaw acceleration (a fast rotation of the car) will activate the TC to save the car from spinning. It also works intelligently so that it can check if the yaw rotation is under control by the driver, allow him to use the power at will.

    - Tweaks on the tyre pressure loss on rough surfaces (kerbs, off road etc).
    - Car collider tweaks for various models.
    - Fixed tyre core temps not properly saved and loaded.
    - Fixed incorrect tyre wear when restarting race after loading a saved game.
    - Tweaks to weather temperatures and sun phase.
    - Tweaks to water dissipation rates.
    - Fixed a setup bug with wet/dry setups on session changes.
    - Fixed bugs related to setup naming.
    - Fixed a bug with speed limiter status in neutral gear.

    MULTIPLAYER & RATINGS:
    - Automatic engines will start when the Pit Menu closes, so all engines should be on at the start of a formation lap.
    - Rejoining a server while disqualified is now detected in all situations, locking down the car in the pitlane (instead of doing so on the straight after the first lap).
    - "Speed up to 50kph" message will not trigger when starting in the pitlane.
    - Pit menu selections now are more adaptive, also removing the "Setup" button as spectator.
    - Entering an empty server as spectator will now properly start with the pitlane camera.
    - Slightly increased the ping limit for CP servers.
    - Fixed long formation lap to not allow waiting in the first sector. Doing so will ignore the first lap.
    - Added server health diagonistics, usable in the UI for further client updates and as admin command.
    - Added UI element (next to the tyre app) indicating server health stats, and colorful warnings for overloaded servers.
    - Replaced "result" json outputs by a new structure containing more information like track, session data, all laps and all penalties.
    - Json outputs now are also written when the session is advanced via /next command, or when the last player leaves and the server resets.
    - Fixed the "rain" and "ambient" conditions setting having little to no influence on the dynamic weather.
    - Reduced the rate of weather changes for high randomness settings.
    - Activated the entryList setting "defaultGridPosition", allowing to resume a race any time (any Q session will overwrite the positions, but P->R would not).
    - Added "dumpEntryList" flag, usable on non-public servers.
    It will save all connected cars and drivers to a entrylist.json when a Q session is finished.
    - Added admin command "/manual entrylist" to save an entrylist of the currently connected cars and drivers (on a non-public server).
    - Fixed total race time having an offset in result jsons.
    - Fixed playerIds not filled in the json results when defined by entry list.
    - Fixed car category not being configurable in every scenario (using the entry list).
    - Collisions during the race wait time won't affect the SA rating.
    - Removed randomization from "wrong tyre" warnings.

    TrackIR is now implemented, and requires the following:

    A basic TrackIR user profile that has all the relevant settings and some basic, neutral curves applied so you can have a good starting point with a functional profile (you can finetune the curves for different responses or use a different center key mapping, etc...) is included in the attachment of this post.

    The profile needs to be copied into this folder: C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\NaturalPoint\TrackIR 5\Profiles

    The profile needs to be selected via:
    [​IMG]


    EDIT: FOR SERVER ADMINS
    I've attached a "public beta 2" server version, that replaces both the preview and what you found in the first public beta build. It contains a fix to the high temperatues, and a quite massive performance and timing improvement. I highly recommend to move to this server, especially if you already use one of the 1.0.7 variants (but it's also clearly better than any 1.0.6 server).
    Please keep me posted about your findings, both in terms of *new* issues, but also how smooth the experience is. I bet you will see the difference in CPU occupancy in the new widget, but also looking at cars.

    First sorry for the server admins, didn't manage to get the v3 handbook ready for now. Will attach it here during the weekend.

    Quick explanation about the new "server health" UI element:
    upload_2019-8-2_17-37-33.png

    CPU <average> <peak>
    Gives the server's current CPU occupancy in % (for the server process). In theory it should be fine until it hits the 90s, and even then it's nothing to worry about - once we go past 100 it'll become "interesting".

    QoS <average> <minimum>
    Gives the "Quality of Service" (equal to the AC1 QS number) in % of all connected cars. In a nutshell, if anything goes below 100 we aren't perfect, if we fall below 98 or 95 it looks like the server is in trouble. If only the 2nd number is bad, this may be one single client with a bad connection (= his problem), while having an average falling to 90s would mean the server has a bad connection or is at the bandwidth limits.

    LAT <average>
    Average Latency (ping) of all connections. This should be around 20-150 ms, dependent on who is connected. If this number goes high (above 300 or 500), it indicates a server problem

    PING <number>
    Is your personal ping to the server, with a small resolution (basically jumping in steps of 6ms, don't worry).


    This small insight should give us a feelin of the server's quality, and (hopefully) also help to understand certain issues - if something feels wrong, have a look there (or better screenshot) and add the information to a bug report, so we can understand where possible issues are located.

    Edit: Ah, and obviously the 1.0.6 servers do not supply the correct data, I think you can spot them via 0 QoS values. Official Servers should be up to date, as the sophisticated community servers

    there is no need for a new car setup? the default setups remains unchanged?
     
  7. Aristotelis

    Aristotelis Will it drift? Staff Member KS Dev Team

    Default setups remain unchanged. In some situations, because of the new flex simulation of the tyres, with the aggressive setup and high fuel load, you might need to raise a tiny bit both front and rear. Also might need to check your old setup for similar reasons. It works but you might touch with the splitter a bit too much in some turns.

    Also play more with TC settings as the logic is changed and you might find more performance in lower settings. Some cars gain more than others, for example the Mercedes has definitely better traction now.

    wow the feeling when going over curbs is almost completely a different experience, i can literally feel how the tires lays itself over several different surfaces. it might be placebo but i don't think so, it feels much much smoother, i.e. predictable, i.e. more like you'd expect (having driven Nordschleife with pretty powerful cars and going over some of the curbs)

    Wow, just took the AMG around for a couple of laps around Spa (which, to me, used to be a huge frustration) and it feels amazing! This new tire model and the TC has got me excited to play this game more again, the main frustration I had with this game physics-wise has been solved. My sincerest thanks for this!

    Also loving the new UI backgrounds.
