Hi everyone,
We have released rFactor 2 Build 298.
There's been some comments about improved framerates from testers, hopefully that experience carries over to you!
We've also started to implement a new constraint system (which is used in the upcoming historic Howston cars), that allows many new physics features, such as chassis flex. Most importantly, this system allows suspension geometry and wheel rates to be more accurate than the old model was able to simulate. This system adds complexity and accuracy, but has already been optimized, with no notable additional CPU usage. Of course older cars will be updated in the future, and new cars will use the new system going forward. Fortunately, it's quite easy to convert... Documentation will follow.
Release notes: http://rfactor.net/web/rf2/devscorner/rfactor2-build-notes/#298
This includes a new demo version, and new general installers (lite, content).

Auto update should replace the temporary launcher (if you used it). Make sure it has.
NOTE: Any mod which has a description field over 3000 chars may cause rF2 to fail to launch. The fix right now is to remove them (uninstall and remove from packages). This will be fixed in a future build, in the meantime we ask modders to limit that box to 3000 until we're doing it for you.
Thanks,
Tim
