ISI has released another official update for rF2
(the most current version of rFactor 2 is now build 156)

Info:
One of the main features is the improved mod manager which is meant for modders to get a better idea of what they have on their system and be able to manage it. Also, we are working on implementing some of the things you already have more fully, and have a high priority to release the content you have as individual components (1 car in a file, 1 track in a file).

The newest version is build 946
rFactor 2 Build 946 includes a number of important changes and improvements including a new tonemapper, CPU and multi-view optimizations, gameplay fixes, UI fixes and mod tool options. Many will hopefully like the overwhelming change to how lighting and colors are handled with the new tonemapper and we fixed a bunch of lighting issues in the process), too.
In addition, there are many smaller changes that will also make rFactor 2 a more complete product as a whole, for instance the option of time scale being set to “Race %” allowing for percentage-timed races when a track’s default duration is more than 2 hours but leaving mechanical failures the same way as they had been. As always, both the demo and SDK/Dev mode have been updated to reflect the changes in the latest build. The detailed change-log is on the ISI website.

The newest version is build 998

Many Features have been added:
- Option to the KnockoutQualifying plugin to have a fixed number of vehicles being scored in Q2/Q3/Q4, rather than have a variable number which was computed proportionally based on the number of vehicles in Q1.
- Admin command /pitbyvehicle. This is similar to /pitbydriver and /pitbyteam, but finds matches to the Description in the VEH file.
- Online map put player's icon and the icon for the car to be followed under caution in front of the others so they are easier to keep track of.
- Juggled some suspension geometry initialization so that caster changes affect the outboard pushrod location.
- Added results file tag <TrackData> which lists the layout MAS file.
- Letting "virtual" cars override "Classes" & "Category" from the base vehicle file. (in a text editor, by hand.)
- Made the key for triple-head configuration and the TGM display into a single configurable control.
- Added onboard right track bar adjustment, which requires the HDV [SUSPENSION] setting OnboardRightTrackBarAdjustment=1.
- Expanded multiview adjustments to allow separate side channel settings
- Added multiview adjustment tool, toggle with ctrl-equal
- Default pace car is Corvette
- Made fuel adjustment in legacy HDV variable BoostEffects work on new engine model (note that using the new turbo technology already results in more fuel being consumed naturally).

A number of Fixes are included, too:
- Corrected albedo levels on several particle textures.
- Fix for not checking mod versions when changing mods
- Fixed an issue where a rear axle adjustment was essentially being done twice in initialization.
- Fix for server not writing correct results when everybody leaves session.
- An attempt to avoid the opponent car jitters that start happening after a few hours and get worse in long multiplayer sessions. This still needs to be tested (using the admin command /forwardseconds should help).
- Fix for locale errors in config.ini
- Corrected static ARB forces (already accounted for non-symmetric ride heights, but now accounts for non-symmetric springs and weights as well)
- Fixed underbody scraping sound.
- Small fix to prevent the upgrade tree list from updating the current track when not in realtime.
- Fixed place readout and camera cycling by place in normal (i.e. non-instant) replay mode.
- The wheels on other clients' vehicles should usually rotate at approximately the correct speed now.
- Attempted fix for race rejoin where client still thinks vehicle is under AI control.

For Modding, the option "none" has been added to the AIW editor text display options. Fixed step distance/speed not getting saved for track overrides in AIW editor.
