    I think it's the track GDB that has a date value used in conjunction with latitude to determine length of day, sun position, and the night sky. No known link to weather.

    Apparently, the Hard Tire was only used at Thruxton.(in real life) so...perhaps we'll have to wait til Thruxton gets included in a Q release.

    Here is the upgrades.ini entry,

    {
    UpgradeLevel="Standard"
    {
    Description="Standard availability, consisting of Medium, Soft and Wet compounds."
    }
    UpgradeLevel="Hard"
    {
    Description="Availability of tyres restricted to Hard and Wet compounds, as used only at Thruxton."

    CPIT=TireCompoundMap=(0,1)
    CPIT=SpinnerCompound=1

    HDV=[GENERAL]
    HDV=FrontTireCompoundSetting=0
    HDV=RearTireCompoundSetting=0
    }
    UpgradeLevel="Unrestricted"
    {
    Description="Availability of all tyres without restriction (Hard, Medium, Soft and Wet compounds)."

    CPIT=TireCompoundMap=(0,1)
    CPIT=SpinnerCompound=1

    HDV=[GENERAL]
    HDV=FrontTireCompoundSetting=1
    HDV=RearTireCompoundSetting=1
    }
    }

    As far as I can tell it just changes which is the default tyre (the Ai ignore this anyway), rather than what it should do is limit which tyres are available.

    It shouldn't matter which track is selected, if the upgrade is forced it should use it.

    If you are referring to force the upgrades online by the server, that feature stopped working some time ago and AFAIK it's still not working.

    I don't know anything about the server side as I have never played rF2 online. I was talking about the normal force upgrade in the car customisation screen, which as far as I can tell works fine normally. The issue here is the arguments made in the upgrades don't do what their description suggests they should. There isn't a line that limits the tyres to Hard or Wet only under the "HARD" upgrade level for instance.

    Does anybody know if the push 2 pass hybrid system works under the 2022 upgrade as I haven't tried that yet.

    After 30 days far from sim racing I tried rfactor2 today and it’s unplayable in VR!!!
    1- terrific lag in car menu/setup
    2- random flash black screen in car setup that makes it impossible to change the car setup.
    3- l lost at least 30% of performance. Before it was 90fps now it’s impossible to make 2 laps without headache and eye fatigue. It jumps from 90 to 60 to 70 down to 55….
    Sorry I love rfactor2. I really don’t have time to deal with these things. All I want is to jump on my rig and do 90mins of offline race and hot laps.
    **** it’s unplayable even in private practice.
    I’m thinking to buy AMS2 at this point.
    This game is simply broken in VR and Studio397 just don’t care about VR. I think the last VR performance update was 2 years ago.

    I cannot confirm this. I have no problems at all with VR and for me performs Version 1130 better than Version 1128.

    I don't know, it's going well for me, although it's true that the vr has some things to fix but playing is fluid and I play very well, with the Pimax 8k plus, without plugins or external programs except the official pitool

    I rolled back to the previous graphic driver.. same thing . The worried thing is the horrible mouse lag in the setup menu… and screen freeze always in the race menu( VR).
    I tried to lower all my graphs settings and I lowered my SS about 30%…. Same problem ! Unplayable.

    What is your video resolution in your rf2 graphic config? I use 1280x720 window with only hmd output.

    The documentation added about new track limits is very good and useful
    https://docs.studio-397.com/users-guide/track-limits
    Could we get something similiar for realroad 2.0?
    Also the new track limit points were implemented additionally into the HUD, could we get air and track temperatures in the HUD as well?

    unbelievable? Virtual LM cars getting an update?(seems like that is ALL we get these days) No GT3 Sound upgrades, no other existing cars at all...) Seems like a good chunk of S397 is tasked with eSports.
