Race Control

Active Reset
Fixed an issue where several tire conditioning states were not being saved and reset correctly with Active Reset.

New Damage Model
If a wheel is already broken, force is no longer applied to the suspension.
– – This fixes an issue where wheels could have been left in an extended position after fixing a hyperextended suspension.

Graphics
Fixed a critical issue with VR framerate performance due to cockpit rendering changes.
Fixed an issue where a ghost car would block the player’s cockpit from rendering. Spooky!

SpeedTree shadows now to obey the “High Quality Trees” setting.
Fixed a misspelling in the Graphics Options Menu.

Force Feedback
The recently added runaway wheel safety protection feature has been tuned to be more targeted to only situations where it might be needed, and the effect will dissipate much quicker if triggered.
The default FFB Smoothing is now set to 0% instead of 15%.

Usability Settings
Some new entries have been added to the [Adaptive] section of the “app.ini” file, including:
highContrastCursor=1 | Makes the cursor larger and uses a more contrasting color for better visibility.
raceLineWidth=0.6 | Allows you to make the raceline wider (in meters) for better visibility.
pitLineAlwaysVisible=1 | Makes the pit road entry/exit lines always visible, making finding the pit road entrance easier.
Some additional hidden entries exist to control the color of the pit lines. For more information, see the iRacing forums post here: https://forums.iracing.com/discussion/2145/adaptive-adjustments/p1
