1.0.8 out now
GENERAL:
– Fixed “Skip Intro Sequence” setting not working.
– Added driverStintTimeLeft and driverStintTotalTimeLeft to sharedMemory.
– Added rainTyres flag to shared memory and digital displays.
– Fixed sessions in shared memory, added session index.
NOTE: more documentation on shared memory data is available in the following link: https://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/acc-shared-memory-documentation.59965/
– Replay version is changed.
– Fixed MOTEC venue name bug.
– Exposed forceFeedbackIntervalSteps in the controls.json in documents/Assetto Corsa Competizione/Config to increase Force Feedback frequency (0= 333Hz 1=222Hz 2=111Hz, default is 2).
NOTE: high-end wheels will benefit from using a higher frequency, but older wheels should keep setting “2” for compatibility.
GAMEPLAY:
– AI now observes blue flags vs. player and other AI cars.
– Fixed inconsistent and wrong Career preset values (notably extra long Qualifying sessions in Endurance races when playing in “Long” mode).
– Practice sessions are now globally limited to 60 minutes.
– Added pitlane open/closed logic to stop the AI from entering the pits in the first lap in mixed weather conditions.

– Added automatic driver swap in the MFD when pitting.
NOTE: in Sprint races, the MFD will automatically jump to the next driver when entering the pits, and driver swap will be blanked out outside of the pit window.

PHYSICS:
– Wet asphalt water film depth now influences aerodynamics.
NOTE: you might need to raise your ride height up to 4-5mm to regain the same splitter and diffuser balance and performance on a wet track.
– General UI setup and MFD tyre pressure logic refactoring. No more automagic for ambient pressures.
Whatever the ambient temperature, the slicks are now preheated at 70°C and you can input the pressure you want for that preheated temperature.
Preset setups are already adjusted. Old saved setups will start with very low pressures and you generally need to add 4 to 5 psi extra.
Simply put a tyre pressure you desire, usually 2psi less than the hot pressure you want, and go.
– Minimum tyre pressures now at 20.3psi, as per Pirelli document request. Pay attention as the pressure can get lower than that when the tyres get cold without blankets while waiting at the grid start and can easily deflate on kerbs.
– Fixed MFD pitstops screen tyre pressures.
– All cars updated preset setups with new tyre pressures.
– Improved flat tyres grip, you should now be able to return to pits with a flat tyre.

– Tyre blankets for slick tyres now at 70°C.
– Optimum tyre pressure tweaks.
– Fixed ignition on by default with manual engine start in certain cars.

– Servers won’t spam “late” warnings for event resets.
– Fixed ghostcar (disconnected car) during MP replay.
– RC Rating was rewritten and now works again both in SP and MP.
– RC will start at 0 while the old Elo value is still remembered.
– Numerous SA Rating improvements. Most changes raise the requirements to gain Trust, so global SA ratings are expected to drop a few points.
– Fixed a bug where lifting on straights would generate Trust.
– SA and RC will change at a slower rate for low AI strength (< 90%), while the balance between Trust and OBWP is untouched.
– Fixed FP2 and Q2 not displayed in server list.
– Enabled collision bag for both MP and SP. SA penalties should only be applied to cars that are “root” contacts, no OBWPs for being caught in a mass accident.
– Fixed replay auto save in MP when the weekend changes.
– Server passwords are now stored.
– Increased low-latency (LAN servers) ping accuracy, possibly removing jittering. The effects will also improve regular Multiplayer netcode prediction, but won’t be as significant.

– Numerous fixes to driver swaps situations.
– Team names are now visible in MP.
