Infos about the patch

[Patrick Giranthon]

I try to sum up here the data about the patch.
If someone has other infos, he can post here too.

So, the content is for sure :

- a new open wheel car (Armaroli, F3...?)
- correction of bugs (qualifications and warm-up)
- use of online skins
- use of G27 LEDs
- 6 new layouts
(Brasilia - Infield Course
Curitiba - Outer Course
Jacarepaguá - Curva Sul
Interlagos - Café Chicane
Londrina - 2009 Long Course
Velopark - 2011 Course)
- upgrade of the handling and breaking.

Coming soon, very soon ;-)

Any release date?
I come 10 times a day to see if there is the patch online... :frown:

 

[Paul Nadon]

Yes a release date would be nice. Like today, today would be a wonderful day to release it.

 

[Ivo Simons]

They said "within the first 2 weeks of October for sure"
So they have till Friday.

[Sergio Junior]

there will be no fix for the problem with the loss of the wheel settings???????????

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Thank you for infos.
But what is the exact calendar ?
- for the patch?
- for the new car?
- for the new layouts?

 

[Ramon Alonso]

How does it work? Do we have to download the entire game again?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

No.

 

[Marc Goaderoch]

Thank you very much for the support!
Do you know the exact day when the patch go out ?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

Also no

 

[Keith Pawson]

Great thanks for the info, much appreciated and looking forward to the patch.

However, what about brake bias adjustment during a race?
Currently you can't adjust brake bias in a race, but can during practice. This is a bug that I reported to Reiza support, but I can't find the email that I sent and who responded, but they did confirm this was a bug and would be resolved in the patch.

Unless this is what you mean by:
Adjusted parc ferme rules to allow fuel and brake adjustments before race;

Just want to make sure this didn't get left out

Thanks

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Also no

Hummm. I think I will continue to click ten times a day to look for the patch...

You can adjust this yourself in your plr file.

 

[Keith Pawson]

You can adjust this yourself in your plr file.

Can you elaborate on this, I just looked in my plr file and I don't see anything about brake bias being locked for race and adjustable for practice. As I said the email back from Reiza did confirm this was a bug in park ferme settings or something?

 

[Alex Sawczuk]

QUICK FreeSettings="-1" // -1=use RFM/season/GDB default, or add to allow minor changes with fixed/parc ferme setups: 1=steering lock, 2=brake pressure, 4=starting fuel, 8=fuel strategy 16=tire compound, 32=brake bias, 64=front wing, 128=engine settings

 

[Ramon Alonso]

The Brasilia-Infield Course is the one they gonna use for Sunday's race?

 

[Renato Simioni]

Ramon - no, Stock Car only ever races the external ring.

Keith - yes, it will be sorted in the patch so you can adjust brake bias from the cockpit in races.

 

[Team DTO]

I have a question regarding the patch. If I turn off tire wear, will it turn off tire wear for the ai cars also?

 

[Keith Pawson]

Keith - yes, it will be sorted in the patch so you can adjust brake bias from the cockpit in races.

Excellent, thanks Reiza Studios
