iRACING UI:

General

• If iRacing detects you are using an unsupported version of Windows, or iRacing is currently set to utilize a Windows Compatibility Mode for an unsupported version of Windows, a warning message will be displayed as iRacing launches (if able).

SIMULATION:

Controllers

• Support has been added for separating triggers on more XInput devices.

Race Control

• Fixed an issue at tracks like Wheatland where the pace car pulls off immediately after the Start/Finish line after going “one to green”, so if the leaders haven’t crossed the Start/Finish line yet, the race could immediately go green instead of letting them do the final pace lap.
• Fixed an issue where cars involved in incidents that cause Cautions get marked incorrectly in the pace order. This could cause them to get a wave around at the “One to Green” right after they get shuffled to the back of the line, but then they have immediately slotted in behind the pace car ahead of the field, negating the wave around, and losing their position.
• For the Tire Compound Change Rule, fixed an issue where the pace car indicated it needed to change its tire compounds, or it would be disqualified.
• Split times are now using the correct precision to ensure the displayed values in the sim and the results match exactly.
• Fixed an issue that could cause user laps to be marked as invalid if they ended qualifying in an unscored state. This could also impact future events hosted on that race server.

Spotter

• Fixed an issue with the left/right calls in the Spanish language spotter pack.
• – – Thank you, Ari Cejas!

User Interface

• Fixed an issue with the F1 black box that caused the Driver Ahead/Behind lap times to not be reported.
• In the Session Information tab, fixed an issue where the measurement units were not updating properly when their format was changed.
