#RFACTOR 2 DX11 TRACK MAP UPDATE#

Wrapping up this month’s update, we all wish you a happy holiday season and we’ll be back with one final roadmap update close to the end of the year. This gives us more bandwidth to focus on the new engine, which should be a huge benefit for everybody. As announced, that means we’re deprecating DX9, meaning it will still be available, but it won’t be updated anymore. The shots below are still work in progress, but show you what we’ve been doing to make the rain look better on both cars and tracks.Īnother announcement is that we officially support all the new Windows Mixed Reality headsets, and we’ll have more details on that in a separate announcement soon. In 2018 we will focus on more DX11 related updates, both in terms of performance and fidelity.

We’ll incrementally release those updates, but anticipate to already have a substantial part done before the end of this year. At the moment we are working feverishly to update all our cars and tracks to make maximum use of these new features. We’ve also improved the ambient lighting, producing subtle differences that give the overall image a slightly more dramatic look. Part of this DX11 update will be the inclusion of the “rain update” that we previewed at SimExpo. One of these is a new dial that show you the time delta compared to your best lap, but we have a few other new things and enhancements planned. As an intermediate step before we come with a new HUD system for plugins, we’ll focus on providing a default HUD that includes a lot of the features you have been enjoying in third party plugins. We’re also ready to announce that we will be making DX11 the default before Christmas.

If you have not checked it out yet, we can definitely recommend you do so!

#RFACTOR 2 DX11 TRACK MAP CODE#

Incidentally, talking about third party plugins, Crew Chief already released a code update that supports Formula E. Since this part of the strategy is such an integral part of racing these cars, we feel an improvement is in order so you don’t have to rely on third party plugins. We’ll release an update of that in a week or two that will include the new team liveries that we were not able to show you ahead of the opening race, and we’ll also provide a code update that will give you a better insight into the amount of battery you have left, and are using per lap. Obviously a lot of questions centered around the Formula E content. We’ll summarize some of the new things that were discussed there.

For those of you that didn’t, you missed out on some free copies of the Formula E pack. Some of you might have watched the talk and drive that Marcel did on RaceDepartment. This weekend you can all watch the season opening double header race in Hong Kong. We announced a hotlap competition, which gives you a chance to win some exclusive Formula E goodies, or show your friends how much better you are than them! Earlier this week we announced the Formula E Energize Pack, bringing electric racing to rFactor 2. Last month we reflected on 2017 and hinted at new content.
