RaceRoom Updated: ADAC GT Masters 2018 and Autodrom Most Released

[Paul Jeffrey]

RaceRoom Racing Experience has been updated today, alongside a new DLC release of the 2018 ADAC GT Masters series and the wonderful Autodrom Most circuit.

The latest update for RaceRoom Racing Experience has been released to the simulation earlier today, addressing a number of minor issues within the title as well as adding two pieces of new DLC content - the Autodrom Most circuit in the Czech Republic, and the 2018 version of the ADAC GT Masters GT3 racing championship.

Both pieces of content are purchasable in the RaceRoom store, with Autodrom Most retailing for around £4.35, and the new ADAC GT Masters packing coming in at around £8.70 - however this price will very much depend on the linked discount system, as players who own related pieces of content will be subject to varying degrees of discount.

With regards to the game update, some of the key highlights from what is a reasonably sizeable new patch include physics changes to the GTR2 category of cars within the game, some welcome improvements to the Porsche 911 Cup GT3 car, and a raft of new camera sets for a selection of circuits within the simulation.

You can check out the full change log below, and don't forget to hop over to our RDTV Twitch channel to catch our latest Talk 'n' Drive with the new content!

is it just liveries for old ADAC owners, or they are actually full cars, with different physics?

They are the new GT3 models, not the same as old ADAC GTM's. If you have a newer GT3 model, the ADAC skin is $0.30, otherwise you need to buy the new one. It will be available in GT3 too.

Whats wrong with it? Having watched quite a few onboard videos I think the sounds are very accurate. The whine inside the GT3 R is very loud actually.

It's not about being loud at all. In fact I think it is not loud enough for most cars, that's why I set transmission whine always at 100% and adjust (lower) everything else, including the engine sound.

The problem with Porsche transmission whine is that in Raceroom it is rpm dependent, while in reality it should be correlated to speed.

Nice update, but when I saw this


I admit my heart started pumping with excitement. I launched Raceroom immediately hoping they fixed the transmission whine... Crap, not yet, but I still believe Anthony will get into it eventually

I did my best to make the transmission whine less overwhelming and to make the engine more audible, but it's still far from perfect, and sadly I have no way to improve it more for now

Also, there is absolutely no way to split the transmission whine and the engine sound in this car. The cockpit recordings will always have tons of transmission whine, which is impossible to remove or split from the engine itself. Therefore, the whine is rpm dependent in the game.
We had two recording sessions with the 911 GT3R but both provided the same result : transmisson is extremely loud, whatever we do with the recorders.
The only way to change this would be to record the car with a multiple mics setup, which is unfortunately also very expensive and out of reach for us currently.

Hey Anthony, thanks for your hard work, it is appreciated Also, thank you for being upfront about the issue.
I don't mind the transmission whine to be way louder than the engine, that's how I set it in the options anyway.
It seems some people are not bothered by that at all and I'm in the minority. Maybe some day in the future though there will be a chance to record new sound... and if not, there are still other cars with great sounds to enjoy. Cheers

Ah, just saw this. You must have edited the post while I was typing.
That is unfortunate, but thank you for explaining. It saddens me a little, but I understand. I know that if it was feasible, you were the person to make it work. So glad to have you here and talk to us. This shows how much you care

Are tire pressures adjustable yet?

Ofcourse not.
The dev team are fully occupied by more urgent duties like painting cars and stuff.
Its the same situation with displaying practice laptimes which the devs consider is completely unnessesary in a racing sim.

 

[Yetch]

A picture speaks a thousand words!

 

[BrunoBæ]

A picture specially for you

 

[Yetch]

So boring you have to roam it's forums spreading the blues!

 

[Yetch]

You can use it in that or as an indication of the speed of any class. The higher the number the slower the car.

Just worries me that there are 4 levels faster that the FX17.

 

[Kenny Paton]

No the FR X 17 is the fastest car in the game, honest

 

[Andi Goodwin]

this shows a huge misunderstanding of what the dev team do .....

I like how you kinda forgot to mention the fact that poll is four years old and the majority of votes relate to a very different Raceroom than we have now (e.g. people asking for physics update or triple screen support). But I guess that's not important because it doesn't fit your narrative.

(Not that poll like that with these two options isn't useless anyway.)

Whistling out your arse again?
Try whistling a different tune for a change, same one over and over becomes so tiresome.
Pop over to the official S3 forum, lay down your woes and if they are valid and possible, you may find support, far more productive that hijacking threads at RD.

I like how your negative presumptions does colour your conclusions so they in as example this situation are completely false.
The reason I posted this pic was because I voted in this poll 2 days ago(!) because the poll is still active AND I did not see that the poll was originally started 4 years ago.
So much for your false conclusion that "it doesn't fit your narrative".
Instead of making such kind of presumption based conclusion just check the sector3studios forum and you will see that among the not completely blind fanboys there is some kind of consensus that Racerooms devs should solve some of the annoying bugs and functionality issues in Raceroom instead of dripping new content out.
Let me quote one of these posts(from 2019 )

Resources, how long since you could have a chat or decent communication ingame online? Oh, never, cause if it isnt covered by a warning message or drowned out by the bright background its gone before you had chance to read it. Resources are used to fleece and extract as much as they can out of the naive end user, how many realistic car setup options do you have, asymmetrical, nope, tyre pressures, nope thats three simple but effective things off the top of my head, i would prefer if resources were put to better use, your definition and mine of better may well vary by quite some distance, limited resources, i dont buy it, tight owner\budget maybe, limited resources, nope, just pushed in the wrong direction at times!

 

[UMC 22]

Ok ladies, put the handbags away please. As per usual this kind of thing is completely off-topic and is ruining a perfectly good thread. It serves no purpose but to start petty bickering, arguments and flaming in our otherwise friendly community, and I'm getting very tired of reminding people that posting the same old complaints over and over in completely unrelated threads is a no-go.

If you have a legitimate complaint you think should be discussed on RD, make a dedicated thread for it. If you want S3 to see your concerns, post it on their forum. Otherwise, keep it to yourself and stay on topic.

Thank you.

lol dont send him over there mate...

lol dont send him over there mate...

I did think long and hard about it, just thought Bubbles could sort it out, give him something to do!
Do kinda resent the fanboy tag, we all have a preferable Sim, some more than others but I've always considered standing up for some of the smaller guys, against the behemoth studios to be the right thing to do, especially as so many of them do it so much better than the big boys. Don't even get me started on communication with the community.
Nah, I stand up for RR, AMS and rF2, whenever I consider they are being wrongly (imho) adjudged or if information is ill informed.
Feel it is my civic duty to stand up to bully's, (as it should everyone) not standing up against the man is the whole reason this world is about to implode!
Come the revolution brothers/sisters/those who are undecided, time to make a stand, ti................. hold on, I'm in the middle of a rig rebuild, maybe next week chaps or better still, in the summer, when the weathers a bit warmer.
