RaceRoom Racing Experience | New Build, Laguna Seca Update

[Paul Jeffrey]

In good news for fans of RaceRoom Racing Experience, Sector3 Studios have today deployed a new build to the simulation - adding new controller profiles and a 2020 refresh for the Laguna Seca Raceway amongst others changes.

• New controller profiles for several wheelbases.
• Laguna Seca 2020 update.
• AI tweaks.

The new update weighs in at around 894MB and should be available to players the next time they restart their Steam client. Although not a sizeable build in the grand scale of things, the new update to RaceRoom Racing Experience does come with some very useful tweaks, especially if you are someone who uses a wheelbase that received new controller profiles, as listed in the change notes below.

Laguna Seca fans also have something to look forward to on the content side, as this mighty US track has received the update treatment to bring it into 2020, with various art changes reflecting the changes that have taken place at the real venue.

RaceRoom Update Notes:

• Dedicated server – Fixed scheduling of one-time events (no repetition) that could sometimes not spawn
• Laguna Seca – Updated to 2020 specs
• Tweaks to AI behavior and/or corridors at Spa-Francorchamps, Lausitzring, Mid-Ohio (fixed cutting through pitlane in turn 1), Red Bull Ring. Leaderboards were cleared where necessary.
• Default controller profile added for Logitech G923
• Default controller profile tweaked for Simagic
• Default controller profile added for Thrustmaster TX 458 Italia Edition
• Default controller profile for Thrustmaster wheels now have FFB effects for flat spots disabled to stop them from acting up
• Pushed liveries for an upcoming competition in Asia

Hockenheim needs an update! Looks so ugly. Many details missing.

The overall graphics needs to be updated. Even RF2 has added PBR shaders.

It's been over 10 months since I asked if seat/camera tilt option can be working for us triple screen users. Still no fix in this update! S3 just don't want me to buy more content from them

meh. RaceRoom.. eclipsed by BeamNG for me, so I guess that says what I need to say. 12 of those 18 hours was spent having it open while browsing the web trying to figure out how to setup triples and fov..

Does this mean I can now enable full damage without the suspension self destructing and causing the ffb to go all wonky?

It was already possible before the patch by manually editing your controller profile. They only updated the default controller profiles now.

Hockenheim was actually updated in one of the last patches.

Well, some of us still like it.

So more than others it seems! Though to be fair, the vast majority of mine has been racked up online. I still don't race offline very often, or hotlap... or practice!

Practice? What heresy is this??
But admittedly, a lot of my hours were spent tinkering and testing with the AAI.

You can adjust it manually.
Open "\Documents\My Games\SimBin\RaceRoom Racing Experience\UserData"
"graphics_options.xml" file
-divide your desired FOV by 58 for single screen, i.e if you want 27° - 27/58=0,46551725 - place the number into the file

After a bit of a layoff, ran DTM 2020 at Zolder and Most and GTO's at Laguna. and the AI was outstanding, three wide right next to me, no crashing in the corner, slipping underneath me if I'm too slow. Good job.
