    Image Space Incorporated are proud to present Build 982 of the rFactor 2 racing simulation. This build introduces a new rules plugin system (Internals Plugin v7 has been released below) and a massive amount of other improvements, tweaks and fixes.

    This build represents the first major step in migrating our game rules out of the base game and into plugins. This system is intended to allow easy adjustment of rules for your races without waiting for ISI to add or develop them. We're still working on this, so while functional, feedback is still very welcome.

    Apart from that, selected highlights include some very nice tweaks to the AI, such as detection of being on two wheels and the ability to recover, reduction in the needless braking/slowing in panic situations along with better support for pack racing and drafting. We've also raised the default car limit to 45 (previously 30), as the move to 64bit means most people have enough RAM available to run that many cars (32bit users will still run out of RAM at/around 25-30 cars).

    We're quite sure you'll be happy with the full release note (see below). Probably something in there to please everyone...

    Downloads:
    Internals Plugin v7 - 20.4KB
    Lite Installer - 287MB
    Content Installer - N/A
    Demo Installer - 836MB
    SDK/Dev Mode - 360MB

    Do "normal users" need the Internals Plugin or is that just for modders?

    Thanks for the new build! :D

    I think it's important for multiview/triple users;

    you'll have now that line in your main config.ini (that's until we'll finish the UI for that aspect):

    ViewParams=(0.540000, 0.340000, 0.600000, 15.000000, 0.037000) \\ screen width (m), screen height (m), eye distance (m), side angle (deg), bezel gap (m)

    First two numbers are the size of your screen in meters, third is the distance from your eyeline/head to the center monitor panel, fourth is the angle of lateral monitors in degrees and latest number is the monitor bezel size, still in meters.

    So, in the default set of values, you have a triple screen set with 54x34cm monitors, the distance between the eyeline/head and monitors is 60cm, monitor angle is 15° and plastic bezel are 3,7cm per side.

    Enjoy! :)

    Checking for updates. Please wait for result.
    The current build is up to date.

    In launcher I click on Check for Updates and it says my current build 946 is up to date but it ain't....
    Any ideas why it is not updating? And a fix if possible?
    Cheers

    This should be in the opening post I guess, otherwise if you do not know that you have black screens in the game. At least that was the case here.

    Edit:

    Default settings were all at 0

    Anyways, brilliant stuff! :)

    You can use the links provided in the OP and simply install the lite installer over the top of your existing installation. I don't think the auto updater feature is loaded with the new build yet.. But will be soon according to Tim's post earlier in this thread. :)
