RaceRoom – June 2021 Update Deployed

As promised, Sector3 Studios has deployed its June 2021 update for RaceRoom Racing Experience.

This important update features a completely new Force Feedback System that has been coded from scratch. Furthermore, the development team also created a new FFB User Interface which makes it easier and more intuitive to dial in the FFB settings.

Sector 3 stated that all calculations in the new Force Feedback system are physics-based. The system will factor in the individual steering geometry of a car, leading to more unique feedback behavior between different cars. Also, all tyre forces, including the gyroscopic effects, and tyre contact patch movement will be taken into account.

Check out the full changelog below for more details.
