rFactor 2 Build 1008 Now Available (thread does not contain stock car link)

The 'Stock Car Build' has finally arrived! This build introduces a number of supportive code elements for this type of racing, but is also a testbed for some future advancements we have coming for this, and racing of all kinds.

We plan to release some more tracks (eagle-eyed forum users already spotted this), and with the help of some leagues, we hope to get the rules nailed down.

Double File Restarts - Wave Around Cars - Do not get penalized yet for pitting before green flag is thrown

Rules not implemented Yet:

Commitment cone violation for entering the pits
AI still race back to line when caution is thrown
All car(s) must maintain their respective track position for the restart, until they cross the start/finish line.
Blending rule when re-entering the track during green flag conditions
No passing under double yellow line at Superspeedways

Known issues (A.I.):

We need to give the A.I. another look, as improvements in one area can often affect another. The A.I. are quite dynamic and will adjust their line according to grip levels. At Jacksonville, this tends to see them running high up against the wall. With an upcoming update to the core, we would like to try to keep them from scraping the wall as often as they do right now on the ovals. You can disable the 'dynamic superspeedway' code that causes this by changing playerfile value "AI Logic Override" to 2 (as mentioned in the notes below).

Sorry, just dreaming.

But I still miss the steam release

 

Change log looks even better than I had hoped!!!!

 

Downloading!

 

no time to write something

 

I see them in BIN64\plugins

 

Tested both installed and they placed the files. Don't have a clue why you might not have gotten them. Virus scanner?

 

I think I need the stock cars for them to show up. I see them inside rF2, but not in-game yet.

 

I see them also in-game (StockCarRules.dll)

EDIT: What i did, i let the game create a new "player.json". Maybe this helps.

EDIT2: I used autoupdate.

 

Amazing!!!

Thank you ISI! I was about to try something and BOOM! New stuff!

 

Great stuff, thank you so much.

 

Yes I see them there ^. But not in-game where we're supposed to be able to turn on and off?

 

Are you using the default UI ?

 

Yes. Brand new fresh install.

 

Do we still need to create a new player.json?
