March S2 Updates Thread iRacing

[Daunt]

With the first Renault, there will be twelve open wheel series. I'd like to see both series flourish because it's great for iracing, but I am doubtful. It looks good though

 

[Peeble]

Did you guys see the end bit of the ISR video? The tires visually show that they picked up dirt now!

I thought Renault 2.0 was step up from SM. Maybe 3.5 is?

I think the 2.0 is a side step from the SM and the 3.5 is closer to Indy.

The sound is certainly not bad but it occurs to me that what iRacing desperately needs is an equalizer option that we can modify for each car similar to controls.

 

[Daunt]

Thanks Peeble! I love the sound. The downshifts particularly are almost spot on... the sound incredible. So excited.

One thing that's improved is iRacing's low speed sounds. Before there used to be almost no idling noise which was very absent in cars that had that signature gurgle like the caddy. Here, when the Audi is pulling on to the track, it sounds very good.

Oh nice! This might be a hint at a yet unannounced feature. If we can see it on the outside of the car, we should be able to see it from the cockpit as well.

That Audi looks pretty fun to drive.

I hope they'll be improving sounds with Dx11 (if that's even related). They've mentioned before, somewhere obscure, that sounds are mostly generated from reference recordings, which has its limitations. It's simply impossible to have sounds for every situation car is in.

They've gotten so much better... I'm extremely happy. Still could be ten times better. But part of there issue is, and I talked with a iracing dev on it, is that they don't want to fake anything. So like the transmission warble for upshifts has a real cause that they only somewhat simulate. Maybe dx11 will make it easier but I dunno. Getting better every update though.

Man that looks good. The wheels seem a little off but the rest of the car looks nice.

I wonder how much different it'll be in comparison to 2015 model.

In-sim screens- http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/3467198.page



Judging by this screenshot: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/downloadAttach/2423376.page it appears as if both that front plate in the grill and the sun screen appear to be paintable. Otherwise Audi R8 LMS would always show no matter what.

Small tidbit as well, unless I'm mistaken... it appears the watermark that shows on all screenshots, etc is changing finally. I honestly hate that damn thing but oh well.

 

[Jerad]

I hope that it's all paintable. Audi SLS here we come!

Kyle, I believe there is a key combo that takes a screenshot without the watermark. They should really have a good manual with all this stuff documented.

 

[Kenadian]

I don't know of a key combination to get rid of the Watermark but I do know Ctrl + Page Down makes it exceptionally small.

I use this all the time in replays and screenshots.

 

[Slider]

I think that's the one. Where and how are they saved?

I think it's probably under Camera Controls in Replay because I don't remember having to actually key bind anything.
