like before since the update is past wed do not update until after this weeks races guys. So your setups dont change any.

[Chester]

too late for me. Didnt know that rule

[Nate Newcomer]

I'm updated as well.

Please advise on what course of action should take. :?

[Iceman]

can you use the first updater?
if not where you get the new one

[Tombstone]

I'm updated as well.

Please advise on what course of action should take. :?

Sorry guys...those that updated early need to run the DEFAULT setups in this weeks race.

If some of you weren't with us through a very trying time running a season with an rFactor stock car mod then please note; due to lessons learned that rough season we do not patch the server or clients right before a race because on more than one occassion there were nasty side effects that ruined a week's worth of setup tweaking for 15+ racers. After that we decided that would not patch a race server unless the pacth came out wed. or before of a race week. Some patches may tweak car physics, others may tweak track physics and some may do neither but we found this a safe way of handling patches. ARCA and TSF may prove different and we may eventually change the rule but the risks are still too great to throw a whole race weekend away on chance.

BTW...I was just kidding about the DEFAULT setups.:p

For those that patched I am sure we will figure something out just please understand that we learned some tough lessons and don't want to repeat anything that would set the season back even a week.

ya like a dummy i patched also .

[Tombstone]

From everything I have been able to find the new update appears to only 1)use/install the new (final) updater 2) make some changes at Rockingham 3) fix a pit road mesh at USA.

It does not seem like the patch will effect anything at Daytona.

The problem is stll that some racers will be logging in Sudnay after last practicing on Wednesday and be confronted with having to quickly install the new updater/pacth and hope for the best.
