Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Studio 397 has deployed a new hotfix update further improving the current ‘Release Candidate’ build of rFactor 2. Furthermore, they announced that new AI updates will form part of the Q4 2022 build update to rFactor 2.
The latest Release Candidate version of the current rF2 build can be found under the ‘beta’ tab of your rFactor 2 installation within Steam. The public deployment of the Q4 2022 build is scheduled for November 7th.
AI Updates
The development team has been working on the AI cars in rFactor 2 substantially improving the response of the artificial competitors which will greatly improve the offline racing experience.
The new AI improvements resulted in less erratic throttle and brake behavior, smoothed-out steering inputs, smoother car control, and improved AI ability to adhere to racing surface and avoid unnecessary off track excursions and spins.
The changes will be rolled out globally across the simulation, instantly affecting all the available content types. While addressing the AI improvements, the dev team took the opportunity to clean and optimize the AI code, which will give them a much stronger base on which to work on AI going forwards
