V1.1.1.0 Changelog:

CONTENT

Added Ginetta G40 to GT5 series
Added Ginetta G40 Cup series

GENERAL

LiveTrack now maintains a rubber state between sessions. on a race weekend (rather than resetting to a “green” track at the start of every session)
Reduced base grip from a green track & increased grip range to max grip state

UI & HUD

Added option for German localization
Fixed wrong description on ‘Edit HUD’ menu option
Adjusted size and layout of ICM strategy menu to make the current strategy more readable
Fixed scrollbar on Start Championship list
Fixed incorrect heavy fog icon
Fixed Race sessions showing practice length on the lobby detail page
Fixed Add session start time to lobby detail page
Remove stray icon from formation lap info HUD element
Fixed text alignment of Retired/Pit indicator on replay/spectator leaderboards
Added missing translations for some recently released tracks
Added missing Edit Hud Description, Drive layout, FFB Damping translations
Fixed PIT text overflowing container on HUD leaderboard in some languages
Fixed issue where simulate/retirement screen could become unresponsive when choosing no during exit confirmation.
Adjusted loading screen gradient to provide more positive feedback at lower levels
Added leaderboard class icon for GT40Cup, Group A, JCW, TC60

PHYSICS

Further differential & driveline fine-tuning; further reduced crankshaft mass (reduces overall engine inertia); reduced axle shaft mass & slightly reduced wheel bearing losses (slightly increases top speed & improves differential functionality)
Further tire tread adjustments for all cars (generally less speed sensitivity, slightly sharper peak slip angles)
Revised tire grip falloff rates when under and over optimal operating temperature, & added rates to several tires that didn´t feature substantial falloff rates
Further revisions to rain tire compounds
Slightly reduced efficiency of slicks on a wet surface
Slightly increased tire automatic preheating ratio before the race starts
Adjusted optimal temperature ranges for carbon & steel brakes
Adjusted brake heating & cooling rates for all cars
GT3 cars now use steel brakes instead of carbon-ceramic
Revised Kart / super kart physics (tires, driveline)
Fixed errors in front tire tread for Fusca Classic FL
Fixed error on Super V8 Hard tire compound
Replaced Roco tire physics to better match the one from its P3 opponents
Slightly adjusted F-Classic G3M1 torque curve
Moved default brake bias slightly rearwards for F1 cars, Porsches, P1 cars (require setup reset)
Minor Procar Group A, Caterham, Porsche Cup & Superkart revisions (require setup reset)
Minor F-V10 G1 / Mclaren MP4-12 aero corrections to front wing yaw & pitch sensitivity
Minor adjustments to default FFB (communicates rear end better from vehicle yaw rate developing on turn-in and countersteer on rear tyres sliding)
Improved FFB damping function: it´s now non-linear with very little effect in small /slow steering inputs, more on really fast & bigger inputs
Reduced effects of tire flat spots on FFB

Added parameter to calibrate AI traction off the line on a wet surface vs player
Added parameter to control how far ahead AI cars factor lapped cars ahead per type of car
Adjusted AI performance on wet (both on slicks and wet tires), correcting some generally large discrepancies in each case
General AI performance calibration pass for all cars
Further adjustments to AI throttle application for various cars
Further adjustments to AI aggression scalars per car
Further reduced AI lateral jerkiness/weaving/abruptness
General AI calibration for various cars
Bumped AI aggression scalars, reduced AI extra awareness with human scalars to better exploit latest AI code developments & better raceability
