Hi folks,

The official v1.0 of the Clio is now available in the downloads thread.
The skin template, rim template and window template are also posted.

Known issues:
- Those of you who installed the accidentally leaked earlier version, will end up with duplicate Clio components, and may need to completely re-install to be rid of them.
- Opacity issues on the headlights until the next software update is released (which will update the Clio pace car and fix it).
- Possibly other stuff.

Instructions for the wheel rim and window templates:
Rims - Use the exact same naming as your skin, adding "EXTRA0" to the name. Saving in dds DXT5 format. So for car clio_16.dds, the rims are clio_16EXTRA0.dds.

Windows - Use the exact same naming as your skin, adding "WINDOW" to the name. Saving in dds DXT5 format. So for car clio_16.dds, the rims are clio_16WINDOW.dds. Make sure to make a white mask of this text, add it to alpha channel (alpha channel needs to be white where the text is so the text is opaque ingame).

Thanks,

Tim.

Finally thought I'd better purchase this after i just got a new wheel and pedal set and I must say I'm massively impressed with the FF and feel of all the cars. For me it already feels better than iRacing. The Clio wins hands down as the most fun to drive that car and croft is pure sim racing perfection.
 
nissan GTR on croft is just scary, meganes is scary aswell but they have a more controlled slide around the fast corners, the 370z just grips and grips... F ISI cars just bounce around like a bouncy ball on steroids....

Added HDV parameters CorrectedInnerSuspHeightFront and CorrectedInnerSuspHeightRear (in addition to the existing CorrectedInnerSuspHeight) in case somebody needs different values front/rear. Also removed obsolete FixInnerSuspHeight.

AI:
—————————-
fixed AI cars slowing down near garage locations of remote vehicles in multiplayer.
fixed AI slowing down for cars in pits for some tracks (brianza)

fixed ai slow downs when only ai on a client (ie, when you’re connected to multiplayer game and turn control over to ai)

improved ai handling of front-wheel drive cars

UI / HUD:
—————————-

tried to autojoin the server after downloading and installing it’s mod.

building team list from veh parameter ‘category’ (fullteam tree path) rather than just team, since cars in wildly different series can share the team… thus some would be culled from the tree display.

options now letterbox when defined (in OSC) options res is widescreen but config res is 4:3.
also removed WidescreenUI variable getting set to true when in a 4:3 res.

fixed tracks coming up with wrong handedness in cases where starting grid is 3-2-3-2 (or really any, as long as at least 2 cars are next to each other in all rows) instead of standard 2-2-2-2. (was causing ai cars to violently swerve when skipping formation laps & other problems)
Some changes made to speed up selecting a different mod (hopefully this doesn’t break anything).
fixed possible thread-safety issue

MULTIPLAYER:
—————————-
changed dedicated server caption to be the base directory to help server operators distinguish between multiple servers on a single computer.

Replay format has changed slightly for various improvements, sorry it’s not backwards-compatible!
Current tread surface properties now recorded in replay and transmitted in multiplayer.
Recording tire carcass movement for player now.
Mostly fixed terrain feedback in replays.
Fixed another bug with special effects in replay where smoke would flicker and skids would have gaps.
A bit more precision for special effects in multiplayer/replays.
Fixed wheel vertical location when viewing replay of player vehicle (same bug caused an offset in the reported mWheelYLocation for telemetry).
Improved replays of parts falling off vehicles.

However, this sometimes causes a side effect in replay/multiplayer of a tire spinning unnaturally in order to move to the correct orientation.
fixed jerking trackside cameras when rewinding in replay
fixed a couple things regarding wheel orientation in replay.

For those of you, unsure or dont know how to update rFactor 2. You will need to download the latest update which is build 90 to 101. This update wont work with previous version. You will need build 90 to do this.

First, place the downloaded EXE file into the rFactor 2/updates directory (for example D:\Games\rFactor2\Updates ).
Second, Load the rfactor 2 launcher, click update, click query then it should say "Local update found. Click the Install button to continue." If not, you are not on build 90 or you have placed the update exe file into the wrong folder. Then just click install and follow the instructions. Then boom, its installed.

You do NOT need to download all the car mods/tracks again. This is just a build update. All cars and tracks should work fine. Im about to load up rfactor 2. I will see if its better :)

rF2 is better than rF1. Don't complain about the lack of mods, rF2 is still a beta!

Looking at some Spa videos and Monaco, all I can say is wow. I was considering iRacing, but maybe down the line when I want to compete seriously. I am very tempted by this..

I'll probably get an annual membership as being a student, you never know what's around the corner!
