rFactor 2 – Build 1108 Update 2 And Nissan GT500 v1.2 Released

STUDIO 397 has released Build 1108 Update 2 and the Nissan GT500 v1.2 for their rFactor 2 racing simulator.

Build 1108 update 2 introduces a new system to easily distribute templates that come with new and updated cars. Upon start, the rF2 Launcher will automatically install new templates into a default folder called “Templates”.  Besides this new feature, the new build also deploys some minor fixes.

Code (Build 1108 update 2) Changelog:

• Added code that allows car modelers to tweak the body roll for AI physics to ensure tyres don’t go through fenders graphically.
• Introduced a simple mechanism for distributing templates with cars (which will end up in a “Templates” folder until the new UI is released).
• Fixed a problem where the launcher accidentally URL encoded passwords, making it impossible to join servers with certain characters in the password.

Nissan GT500 V1.2

Together with the rF2 Build 1108 Update 2, STUDIO 397 also provided version 1.2 of the recently released Nissan GT500. The Japanese Super GT car now sports a new sound pack and received both graphical and physics updates. Check out the changelog for more details.

We at Bsimracing are proud to mention that the new sound set for the Nissan GT500 is created by RMT’s own Rick Schoenmaker aka ThinlaneT. Its nice to see Rick back in action on the rF2 front.
