Rallysimfans (RSF) installation - New and Update installations

NEW RSF INSTALLATION:
1. Download the rsf_installer_files_V3.torrent file (see the rsf_installer_files_versionTag.torrent link below).
2. Open your favorite torrent client app. This guide assumes you have www.qBitTorrent.org app, but any other torrent app works also.
3. Add the rsf_installer_files.torrent file to the torrent list using "Add torrent..." menu command in qBitTorrent app.
4. Set "Save At" file save location for the added rsf_installer_files torrent as c:/games/richard burns rally/ folder. Or use any other folder name where you plan to install RSF RBR or where you already have RSF RBR in case you are doing full re-installation.
5. Accept the new torrent in qBitTorrent by pressing "OK" button.
6. After few minutes qBitTorrent should show it is downloading files at certain kb/secs speed. If it shows an error or download speed stays at zero then please take a look at the Rallysimfans torrent installation guide for details how to force qBitTorrent to update tracker list (see the Rallysimfans installation guide link below) .

7. When the rsf_installer_files torrent shows 100% completed you can proceed with Rallysimfans Installer application.
8. Download the Rallysimfans Installer application (see the Rallysimfans_Installer_versionTag link below).
9. Run the Rallysimfans_Installer.exe app and select the installation language (does not affect RSF and RBR language).
10. Set "RSF Destination folder" as the folder where you want to install RSF RBR. In this example it was c:/games/richard burns rally folder.
11. Set "Source folder of RSF installation packages" as c:/games/richard burns rally/rsf_installer_files folder if you used c:/games/richard burns rally as torrent SaveAt folder location (If you set torrent to download files somewhere else then use that folder). Proceed to the next screen.
12. Choose "Full Installation" or "Minimal installation" option if this is a new RSF installation. See the installation guide for more details.
13. Proceed with installation screens and follow on-screen instructions.


UPDATE EXISTING RSF INSTALLATION:
1. Download the Rallysimfans Installer application (see the Rallysimfans_Installer_versionTag link below).
2. Run the Rallysimfans_Installer.exe app and select the installation language (does not affect RSF and RBR language).
3. Set "RSF Destination folder" as the existing RSF game folder location (for example c:/games/richard burns rally). Usually this is pre-set in updates, but if for some reason this is empty then choose the folder where you have an existing RSF RBR game files.
4. Set "Source folder of RSF installation packages" as c:/games/richard burns rally/rsf_installer_files folder (if your existing RSF RBR is in c:/games/richard burns rally folder) and proceed to the next screen.
5. Choose "Update Existing Installation" option and proceed with installation screens and follow on-screen instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT RSF RBR INSTALLATIONS:
- Internet access is required during installation.
- Internet access is required the first time you run RSF RBR. RSF downloads a car when you drive the car for the first time. Without internet access at least once you would not have any cars.
- DO NOT try to install RSF into the same folder with RBRTM, RSRBR or any other RBR mod.
- DO NOT install RSF into any of the following folders because those may cause file access problems in RBR
-- C:\Program Files\
-- C:\Program Files (x86)\
-- C:\Users\Your Account Name\ (Documents, Desktop, Downloads etc system folders)
- DO NOT use any special or localized national characters in path names. Everything not part of western-latin1 charset is considered as special character in RBR. The safe charset is a-z, A-Z, 0-9, space and - and _ characters.


We are sorry for the the capacity issue in download servers and this is why we had to introduce the torrent option. The old server simply could not handle the file download bandwidth anymore. Torrent download helps to solve the problem for everyone. This is a "positive problem" when more and more people are finding Rallysimfans RBR mod to be the most fun way to play RBR.

However, now is your chance to help and contribute to the whole RSF RBR community. We would highly appreciate it if you could keep downloaded RSF torrent files in place and let your Torrent app to use those RSF files and this way helping us and other people to download RSF installation files. We would like to point out that this is voluntary and we do not demand anything or limit your RSF rally experience in anyway even if you cannot leave the Torrent app running in the background. Thank you for your understanding.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


v1.47.1
What's new in RallySimFans (RSF):
- This release is mainly a hotfix release to various RBR crash, timer and stuttering issues.

- New: When creating a new RBR profile, any profile name unlocks all vanilla RBR cars and stages (ie. no need to use the MULLIGATAWNY cheat name). If you want to rename an existing RBR profile then you can do it via RBR main menu options/plugins/NGPCarMenu/RenameProfile option.

- Fixed: RSF and OpenRBRVR integration improvements.
- Fixed: A car (RSFLauncher.MyCars override values per car) specific settings are now properly restored after a replay also.
- Fixed: RSFLauncher car SkinManager handles now properly special characters within a car model file (Mitsubish Evo IX, Skoda Fabia S2000 and Renault Twingo had these issues). However, try to avoid special characters in a skin folder and filenames to avoid random issues.
- Fixed: Non-English RBR language and the "IGNITION control key not set" warning message no longer crash RBR. Remember, nowadays you need to bind the IGNITION control key to start an engine.
- Fixed: 3-2-1 Countdown Pause fix in VR mode.

- New NGP 7.3.775.497 version by WorkerBee. See below for more details.
- New OpenRBRVR 0.7.5 version by Detegr/TorttuP. See below for more details.

- Carparts: Trabant and Wartburg (see RSFLauncher.MyCars) car part updates by AleksiP.
- RBRHUD: Huyundai i20 R5 model fixes by AleksiP.

- Updated Portugese translation (by Ricardo V. Soares).


NGP 7.3.775.497 (2024-03-07) by WorkerBee:
- Fixed race timer issues.
- Fixed shifting issues.
- New data item utcSystemTime in file telemetry.


OpenRBRVR 0.7.5 by Detegr/TorttuP:
- Fix a bug where the plugin would not launch if openRBRVR.ini was missing.
- Add a note for installing OpenXR-Vk-D3D12 if OpenXR initialization failed because it was missing.


Please visit www.rallysimfans.hu website to find the latest RallySimFans_Installer application to update your existing RBR/RSF installation.





v1.47.0
What's new in RallySimFans (RSF):
- New: Practice/StartStage menu line has now additional options: Random car, Random stage and Random car+stage options (use left/right arrow keys to select the option).
- New: A brand new "Import skin" in RSFLauncher.MyCars. Installation of a custom RBR car skin pack has never been this easy. Just download your favorite RBR car skins (a zip/rar/7z archive file) from various RBR livery/skin web pages, click the "Import skin" button and select the downloaded zip/rar/7z skinpack file and be surprised.
- New: The in-game Stage and Car menu now remembers the latest selection when you re-open a stage subfolder (ENTER key in Stage and Car menu lines).
- New: The Stage and Car menu supports keyboard shortcuts to select a stage or car. If you press "H" then it jumps to stages starting with letter H. If you keep on pressing "A" and "R" keys within few seconds then the menu selection jumps to stages starting with "Har" search keyword. This works both in the Stage and Car main menu selection line and in subfolder views.

- New: NGP 7.3.774.488 (by WorkerBee) physics version with multicore, engine starter and particle effect improvements (see below for more details).
- New: With the latest NGP version you now need to bind the RBR IGNITION control key to start an engine. If IGNITION RBR control key is not set then you'll see a warning message at the start line.

- New: OpenRBRVR 0.7.4 (by TorttuP aka Detegr) with several improvements and fixes (see below for more details).
- New: Various openRBRVR integration improvements in RSFLauncher and RSF in-game plugin.

- New: RBRHUD 0.2.6.4 (by Towerbrah) with rendering and performance fixes (see below for more details).
- New: RBRHUD. Believe it or not, but there are now 95/98 NGP7 cars with a fully working in-car 3D live dashboards! Amazing job from the RBRHUD task force and RBR community knowing few months ago we had none, zero, nada. But, we still need your help to test, comment and improve those RBRHUD gauges or even creating those last missing gauges.

- New: SkinManager.Carparts. 96/98 NGP7 customizable cars in RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager.Carparts! Few months ago it was a single digit number. Amazing if I may say so. You want a safari bumber and lights? Mudflaps? Extra lights on the hood? Now you can unleash your creativity and actually use those components a car modeller spent weeks to create yet no one knew about those until now. It is just fair there is now an easy way to use those carparts a car modeller has created for all of us.

- Improved: Stage and Car menu selection line now uses alphabetical name ordering when using left/right arrow keys to choose the next or previous item (it used to be a map ID numerical ordering, but for a user it was confusing ordering).
- Improved: The car preview image in the in-game RSF plugin is now linked to the selected skin in RSFLauncher.MyCars page.
- Improved: RSFLauncher.MyCars has various improvements in a skin and carpart selections and deletion.
- Improved: RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager and a skin specific metadata.ini file has a new URL option to let people easily find the original download and RBR blog page. If you are a skin author then please see cars\Fiesta_rally3\skins and cars\Peugeot__208_Rally4\skins folders for an example of RSF SkinManager file structure, metadata file content and preview images. You can include this kind of metadata.ini and readme.txt files in a skin zip/rar/7z file and the new "Import Skin" imports those files to show more details about the skin package.
- Improved: RSFLauncher has new options and few other improvements to set OpenRBRVR options.
- Improved: By default legacy RBR gaming modes QuickRally/RallySeason/RallyChallenge are hidden in the RBR main menu because those don't work unless NGP7 cars are installed manually into car slots 0..7. You can set RSF to show these legacy gaming modes by setting rallysimfans.ini [drive] show_legacy_gamemodes=true option or by unticking "Show RSF in main menu" option in RSFLauncher app. This was done to avoid new people asking why they cannot shift past 1st and reverse gears when they try to use those legacy gaming modes with incompatible cars.
- Improved: DgVDX11/DX12 graphics driver updated to the latest version (DgVoodoo).
- Improved: Certain car models have bugs in the model configuration files. Many of those fixes are already set in car models downloaded by the RSF in-game plugin, but if people use a 3rd party external tools to download car models or install an older car skin then those fixes may not be there. Now RSF detects these outdated car configurations and fixes those on the fly.

- Fixed: Cut monitoring fixes in multilap stages (ie. a stage going over and over again the same route).
- Fixed: Particle crash issue in scenarios where a particle file was not found.
- Fixed: Other smaller fixes here and there as usual.

- Updated RSFLauncher Spanish (by Egoitz Yuste) and Polish (by Król Alfons Kotojad Alf II) translations. Thank you.

New maps:
- Sourkov and Sourkov II (by Montek Motorsport team). Czech and a gravel stage? Montekland proves this combination is possible, at least in Montekland realm. We are sure all drives are very grateful of this parallel realm.
- Jirkovicky and Jirkovicky II (by Montek Motorsport team). Also these classic mixed gravel+tarmac stages are now finally in RSF also.
- Sumburk (by Roman "Pyros" Barta). Another classic tarmac stage finally available for the userbase in RSF also. Big big thanks to Pyros.
- Sosnova and Sosnova 2010 (by Roman "Pyros" Barta). Pyros was busy in 2008-2010 and he created all these wonderful stages.
- Myhinpää 2023 (by M. Virtanen, Mik78). A gravel stage and Finland? It is not a surprise for anyone, but yet this one does surprise us all. First of all, after you drive this one you'll know why so many IRL drivers think this stage is in top5 legendary gravel stages. Another surprise is the track format. Out of blue sky all in a sudden Mik78 re-releases a BTB stage in the superior RBR Blender track format. Now VR drivers can also feel all those jumps with a good framerate. Big thanks to Aesthetic_sofa also for his help with this new version.

Updated maps:
- Lucéram-Col Saint-Roch restructured to improve load time.

NGP 7.3.774 (2024-02-20) by WorkerBee:
- multicore physics.
- fixed starter code (remember to map IGNITION control key in RBR options/Controls/ControlSetup control binding screen!).
- fixed handling of occasionally missed special pace notes (Start, Split, Finish, End Of Track).
- fixed particle system, size of particles.

OpenRBRVR 0.7.4 by Detegr/TorttuP (cumulative fix list since the 0.4.5 version):
- Implement OpenXR support.
- Implement per-stage supersampling.
- Change config file format from ini to toml.
- Add "World scale" setting for OpenXR.
- Allow horizon locking in replays.
- Make the amount of correction that lock to horizon applies adjustable.
- To avoid horizon locked camera pointing backwards, the camera now turns 180 degrees if the car's pitch increases/decreases 90 degrees or more.
- Report more accurate FPS in the FPS debug mode.
- Render the desktop window with the desktop window's aspect ratio.
- Add adjustment menu and settings for the desktop window viewport.
- Add a way to render the desktop view using 2D camera. This can be for example used to set a seat position for a co-driver to play using the desktop window while the driver plays in VR.
- Add overlay adjustment menu. Show overlay borders while driving when debug mode is active for easier adjustment.
- SteamVR: Improve concurrent Vulkan queue usage.
- Change internal GPU synchronization logic.
- Fix a rare rendering issue where certain effects were rendered differently in different eyes. For example Mitterbach Tarmac at night.
- Fix intermittent recentering issues happening with Reverb in OpenXR mode.
- Fix a crash that occurred when running openRBRVR without a VR headset.
- Fix a crash when using SteamVR with Reshade.
- Fix strange floating shadows on BTB stages.
- Fix a bug where the co-driver mode did not work if "Render pre-stage in 3D" option was active.
- Fix Call For Help camera being a wrong one in the co-driver mode.
- Fix replays being always stuck to co-driver camera if the co-driver mode was active.
- Fix incorrect rendering of broken windshield texture.

RBRHUD 0.2.6.4 by Towerbrah:
- Fixed a rendering issue when using cubic env maps in some areas.
- New gauges: Mitsubishi Evo IX by Mashironn.
- Updated gauges:
-- Renault Twingo by Cubits.
-- Citroen DS3 R1/R3 by PeterB/Cubits.
-- Skoda Fabia R5 Evo by KaRally75.
-- And tons of improvements in several cars by AleksiP.

RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager.Carparts:
- AleksiP created dozens and dozens of new metadata definitions for cars with a customizable parts. He created far too many carsparts to be listed here car by car. 98/98 NGP7 cars is the total magic number at the moment and it speaks for itself.
- Mashironn, Cubits, PeterB, Towerbrah, KaRally75, Mohmot, ThePlayerOne, WB and mika-n did help with handful of cars. Thank you.
- Big thanks to Tomsmalley for his help analyzing customizable car parts.

Please visit www.rallysimfans.hu website to find the latest RallySimFans_Installer application to update your existing RBR/RSF installation.





v1.46.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Zlin city stage (by Jan Kaderabek) available for everyone in practice, hotlap and online races and updates on the stage. Big thanks to Jan (www.jlstages.com) and all of you who supported the creation process of Zlin all these years Jan has been working on it. Please read below for more details.
- Improvement: openRBRVR (by Antti Keränen) virtual reality plugin update with several new improvements and bug fixes. Please read below for more details.
- Improvement: RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager improvements (by WB) and dozens of new "car body part configuration" definitions (sample_car_skins installation package). Please read below for more details.
- Fixes: RBRControls and RSF plugin fixes here and there as usual.

- Updated stage:
- Zlin SS1 (by Jan Kaderábek)
The new 9km version of Zlin (3 laps) with weather improvements.
The map is now allowed in practice, hotlap and online racing for everyone.
The special content purchased by supporters is now added alongside the road (banners, custom characters, flags).
The new tracksettings weather options enabled in a stage selection screen (wet/rain/bad weather).
All surfaces (dry / damp / wet) are now supported.
If user has a custom pacenote file for the old 3km version then those MyPaceNote note files are ignored automagically. The stage fallbacks to use default notes. A driver needs to re-create custom notes for this stage because those old notes don't match all corners anymore.

- Vesikkola (by Henri Pellinen):
Updated particle effects to make it less distracting in a cockpit view.

- Saalahti (by RALLY Guru):
Updated default pacenotes and a wet physic and weather options.


- openRBRVR v0.4.5 (by Antti Keränen):
0.4.5 - Fix tracking lag that occurred for some Oculus users.
0.4.5 - Fix particle rendering issue where too much of the particles were visible inside the car cockpit. Thanks to mika-n for the help tracking down where particle rendering happens.
0.4.4 - Changes to potentially improve the stability of the plugin.
0.4.4 - Fix black opaque square being rendered in front of the car in external cameras if "render car shadows" was active.
0.4.3 - Combine previous cockpit rendering detection logics. They both have issues with certain cars so both are now used to minimize car rendering issues.
0.4.3 - Fix a logic bug with "Always call Present" debug option that rendered it useless.

Please note! Sometimes you may have to do "toggle VR off/on" after an update in RSFLauncher app to make sure files are properly in place if you have both openRBRVR and the classic RBRVR plugins installed.
Also, thanks to Caiusbaro (French) and RadstaR (Czech) for translating the openRBRVR documentation file.

- New and updated RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager - Car body part configurations:
By AleksiP: Lada VFTS, Ford Focus WRC (2006), Open Adam R2, Skoda Favorit, Toyota Yaris WRC, Renault Clio R3, Renault Clio4 R3T, Renault ClioV Rally4, Renault Twingo R1, Renault Twingo R2, Renault Clio Williams, VW Golf (1986), Citroen DS3 R1, Citroen DS3 R3, Citroen C2 S1600, Citroen C2 R2, Subaru Impreza N14, Peugeot 208 R2, Seat Leon Cupra, Fiat 500 Abarth, Peugeot 106.
By mika-n: Ford Escort MK2

Attention attention. RBR wants you! Voluntary work available. Please take a look at skin and body part configuration options in for example cars/Fiesta_Rally3/carparts and skins folders and cars/PEUGEOT_208_Rally4/carparts folders. There you can see how to define car body part INI options and preview images for the RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager. This is a great chance to improve your favorite cars even further. Often many car models come with random set of INI files for certain configuration options, but not in a structured format. This makes it difficult for less experienced RBR users to apply those model options. It would be great if you could help to turn those random INI files as a structured carpart configuration option(s). Then those options would be automatically available and shown in RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager GUI for everyone.






v1.45.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: The car selection menu in Online rally now shows favorite cars option also if one or more of your favorite cars are available in the rally.
- New: RaceStatDB database collects local statistics of all offline and online races. This database now keeps track of the setup file you used in a specific race. For now this data is available only for 3rd party plugin developers and not directly for a driver, but at some point there will be a new RSFLauncher page to analyze the own data.
- New: RBRControls has new "VR Reset" and "VR Toggle Debug" binding options (supports both the new openRBRVR and the classic RBRVR plugins).
- New: RSFLauncher.MyCars page has a new SkinManager feature. WB had been working on this feature for some time ago and now the feature is ready to go public. You can easily switch between alternative car skins or even car body parts. More details about this below. Only Ford Fiesta Rally 3, Peugeot 208 Rally 4 and Opel Ascona 400 has example of these, but more cars to follow soon.
- New: RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics page has new virtual reality options and supports switching between openRBRVR and RBRVR plugins if you have installed both plugins.
- New: RSFLauncher.Controls.AdjustSteeringWheelRotationRange feature now supports several Asetek wheelbases. Thanks to Retep Voit for being a brave beta tester.
- New: RSFLauncher.Plugins page has a new "config" shortcut link to open a plugin specific configuration file in case you want to tweak something under the hood. But, if you are unsure of those additional config file options then be careful to mess with those.
- Fixes: Bug fixes here and there as usual.

OpenRBRVR:
There is a new VR king in town. VR used to be taken care of RBRVR plugin. It has served well, but age has started to be shown there. Antti 'TorttuP' Keränen took the challenge and created a brand new VR plugin for RBR to boost VR picture quality, performance and feature set. Here we want to send big thanks to TheIronWolf also for creating a VR plugin for GTR2 racing game. This new openRBRVR plugin shares some of the components TheIronWolf created for GTR2 game. Take your hat off when you see TorttuP and TheIronWolf.

RSF highly recommends all VR users to give a test drive with the new openRBRVR (by Antti Keränen, also known as TorttuP in Discord) vr plugin. You can use RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.VirtualReality options to choose between the new openRBRVR and the classic RBRVR plugins. This plugin is still under heavy development, so please join the Rallysimfans Discord and VR channel there to find other people using the plugin. From there you'll find links to openRBRVR specific Discord channel also if you want to discuss in more technical details with the plugin author Antti (TorttuP).

RSFLauncher.MyCars.SkinManager. If you are a skin author then please take a look at Cars/Fiesta_Rally3/skins/ folder as an example of "RBR skin delivery folder structure". If you would publish your new skins using this logic then it would easy for other users to download and install your custom skin packages when users know how to install all skins regardless of the author and still being able to switch between skins and not overwriting existing skins. For now users could extract custom skin packs in skins subfolders and then RSFLauncher SkinManager should see it from there and show as an alternative skin for a car.

RSFLauncher.MyCars.CarParts. A car specific body parts are usually the same for all skins, so Cars/Fiesta_Rally3/carparts/, Cars/Peugeot_208_Rally4/carsparts/ and Cars/Open_Ascona_400/carparts/ type of folder structure will be hopefully introduced for more and more cars by voluntars and RSF team. Here we hope your help. It would be a fanstastic way to contribute to all RBR drivers if you could take your favorite car and to create carparts folder content with proper INI files and preview images. The best solution would be if a car model author could do this already when releasing the car model. Now too often those car parts INI files are just a random collection of manually edited text files or a car model author needs to use time to create a car specific custom application.

There are also new and updated translations: Mashironn (Indonesia).

- New Stages:
- 484 Vacarisses SS2 = Vicenç Caihuelas gives us a Christmas present with a new Spanish tarmac stage. People in Spain should recognize this stage. We remember how one or two years ago Spanish RBR drivers complained "why so few new Spanish stages". Well, Vicenç for sure heard you and everyone else loud and clear. Vacarisses is a twisty tarmac challenge.
- 485 Woliborz-Jodlownik = If you don't know a RBR stage making studio name Baran Tracks (Krzysztof Baran) then after this stage for sure you should mark the name. Year ago Rosciszow-Walim stage was a statement already and this new Woliborz-Jodlownik stage is another solid statement. A fact check: Beauty is on the stage, not just on the beholders eye.
- 487 Vesikkola = It is difficult to surprise a veteran Finnish gravel lover with a surprise stage. Vesikkola (by Henri Pellinen) came out of blue sky and did surprise everyone. Henri Pellinen (hepeeee) gave us all this speedy gravel stage with ups and downs and blind corners. Don't blame us, that's how gravel roads in the middle of nowhere have evolved through out decades in Finland. If you blink at wrong time then pick a tree to crash into.
- 488 Saalahti = A gravel stage from the master himself, RALLY Guru. What could go wrong? Nothing and that's why this one will be a hit (maybe not the best word to say it in RBR). Finnish RBR test drivers are ready to bet RALLY Guru has a secret Finnish rally passport and Sauna at home because this stage feels and looks so realistic.
- 902 Skidpad = A tutorial stage by Nereu Rocha for everyone who wants to learn to create their own RBR stage. "Unofficial" map and RSF Installer app doesn't install it by default. Please see the end of the MAPS list in RallySimFans_Installer app to install "902 Skidpad" stage. After the installation make sure to read the Readme file in maps\902-Skidpad folder to find a link to a tutorial video series about RBR stage making in Blender tool. See the video list in https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDDTHQ1kVen6SBt27tmBETMDqfhm7ftl3

- RBRHUD by Towerbrah
- Fixed an issue where RBRHUD would partially or fully disappear during replays.
- Gauge Updates:
- Some gauges were downscaled to lower FPS impact.
- Various fixes, tweaks and improvements done to a number of gauges
- New gauges:
- Lancer EVO X by KaRally
- BMW M1 by Cubits
- Escort mk2 by Mashiroon, PeterB
- i20 wrc21 by voc
- Citroen C3 WRC17 by Fast Burno
- Polo R5 by Fast Burno
- Fabia R5 2018 by Mashiroon








v1.44.9
- Fixes: Bug fixes here and there as usual.

v1.44.8
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Improved NGP plugin version (by WorkerBee). See below for more details.
- New: New options in RSFLauncher.Controls ("Parallel Controller Input Rate" and "Parallel FFB Effects Rate") to configure new controller rate features of NGP plugin (input and FFB rate).
- Improved: RallySimFans installer tries to update itself automatically if an old version is detected.
- Fixes: Bug fixes here and there as usual.

NGP plugin version 7.2.773.479 (by WorkerBee):
- Input and FFB rate configurable (maximum 1000 hz).

If a steering wheel doesn't work (delays, control inputs lost) or RBR stutters occasionally then those new options in NGP plugin (see "parallel input rate" and "parallel FFB effects" options in RSFLauncher.Controls page) may help to workaround those issues. Lower the Parallel FFB rate value until FFB effects are still good enough and the steering wheel seems to respond normally. You can also set a lower parallel input rate value. If a steering wheel works OK then you don't have touch these options, otherwise try values between 400 and 1000 hz. We would appreciate if you could post your "good and proven" values in RSF Discord channel if a certain steering wheel required tweaks to these options.

Updated translations. Portuguese (Ricardo Soares, MiguelBernardo7), Czech (JordanT), Hungarian, Greek (Haris Gavalas), Finnish.




v1.44.3
- New: NGP772 (by WorkerBee) physics version and plugin updates (see below for more details).
- Fixed: Other small bug fixes in RSF here and there as usual.
-------------------------
NGP plugin version 7.2.772.478 (by WorkerBee):
- separate input and FFB handling
- support sequential and h-pattern shifting




v1.44.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: RBRHUD has now even more cars with a custom dashboard gauges (by AleksiP, Towerbrah, cGordon, Cubits, PeterB, Fast_Bruno, PClipse, Flairpin, Mashironn, voc, NpNEXMSRXR).
- New: RBRHUD plugin (by Towerbrah) has also various improvements and bug fixes.
- New: RSFLauncher app converted and upgraded to use the latest Microsoft .NET Core version. No more complains why RSFLauncher doesn't work or why Microsoft's "Download .NET Core" button downloaded a wrong version.
- New: RSFLauncher supports a new DgVoodoo2 DirectX11/DirectX12 compatibility layer option (RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.FullscreenMode). DX11/DX12 is alternative graphics mode for cases where Vulkan 1.3 version doesn't work. Especially some very old AMD GPUs may work better with DX12 than with Vulkan.
- New: RBRControls plugin supports keyboard bindings and custom1-3 user defined custom binding options (user defined keyboard events. See RBRControls.ini and Readme_RBRControls.txt file for mroe details)
- New: NGP772 (by WorkerBee) physics version and plugin updates (see below for more details).
- New: Czech RSFLauncher translation (by JordanT).
- New: Polish RSFLauncher translation (by jbg93rbr & Król Alfons Kotojad Alf II).
- Improved: Under the hood RSF network communication layer updated to be more fault tolerant if the network connection is unstable or exceptionally slow.
- Improved: Certain installation packages splitted in smaller parts to make it easier to update only specific packages in the future.
- Improved: Obsolete and "crash dangerous" RBR files renamed as abc.disabled to avoid people trying to use those files (fex no one should use richardburnsrally_nosse.exe file).
- Fixed: Fixed an issue with digidash replay style selection at runtime when resolution was more than 1920x1080 (Disable option with replay digidash style didn't work).
- Fixed: Other small bug fixes in RSF here and there as usual.

Special thanks to Aesthetic_sofa for providing new fresh looking weather and tire icons.
Thank you JoranT, jbg93rbr and Król Alfons Kotojad Alf II for helping to localize RSF to new languages.

Updated maps:
- Ul-Rajdowa and Ul-Rajdowa R updated by Dej Krzysztof (added a chicane in Ul-Rajdowa, fixed an asphalt patch and collision issue)

-------------------------
NGP 7.2.772 (2023-10-18) from WorkerBee
- support multiple UDP telemetry endpoints
- fixed sporadic shifting issues with some devices






v1.43.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: RBRHUD created by Towerbrah, plus team of people creating new dashboards for several cars. See below for more information about this new exciting feature never before seen in RBR.
- New: RSFLauncher.Cockpit&Dashboard options to configure RBRHUD.
- New: NGP Physics plugin from WorkerBee with timer, hpattern and replay manager improvements.
- Improved: RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.FullscreenMode option now remembers how it was set in 2D and VR modes when you toggle the VR mode on and off.
- Improved: RSFLauncher.Controls has new FFB deadzone and FFB deadzone force threshold options to filter out certain FFB effects (if FFB seems to be nervous when a steering wheel is at center position then you can try to filter out effects caused be FFB oscillation. See plugins/NGP/Readme.NGP.txt for more details).
- Improved: RBRControls. Improved and optimized the use of controls and shows a warning message if the original RBR hpattern gaer controls have been assigned (it doesn't make sense to use both RBRControls hpattern and RBR hpattern bindings at the same time. Use only one of the bindings for hpattern shifting).
- Other smaller RSF plugin updates and bug fixes as usual.

- New RSFLauncher translations (thank you for the contribution):
- German (razoraH, DG301)
- French (BlauGregg, Daniel Monteiro)
- Italian (Filippo Caneo, Polish)

- New Stages:
- RabocsiRing 2021 Rally Hungary SS1 (Hlavi, klacix, Falcon, Atiwrc, Pacsuta Tibor)
- RabocsiRing RX (Hlavi, klacix, Falcon, Atiwrc, Pacsuta Tibor)

RBRHUD plugin revoluziones how gauges look and behave in RBR cockpit view. This is yet another milestone for RBR to improve immersion. Gauges are embedded into 3D models and made to look as close to real world counterpart as possible. Especially VR players love this. Certainly you can still use both the new RBRHUD gauges and the classic (floating) RBR digidash together if needed. At the moment more than 60 cars have a new RBRHUD dashboards and more to come. This is also a great chance for you to contribute to RBR by creating new RBRHUD gauge designs. There will be soon detailed instructions how to modify RBRHUD gauges, but for now you can take a look at how existing gauge templates have been defined.

RBRHUD also visualizes car damages during race, so you no longer need to guess what did you break this time.

RBRHUD. A note to AMD graphics card users. If you don't see animated gauges then you may have to enable Vulkan mode in RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics settings because of couple AMD dx9 driver issues.

The launch video of RBRHUD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAA6iEQ70aU

RabocsiRing stage is a special circuit type of track and it has been part of Rally Hungary in several years. Hlavi, klacix, Falcon, Atiwrc and Pacsuta Tibor teamed up and created this very unique and beatiful looking stage. A word of warning, slippery when wet...

New Stages:
- Ul--Rajdowa (Dej Krzysztof)
- Ul--Rajdowa R (Dej Krzysztof)
- SSS Alpes Rally School (DMrally)
- Ouninpohja 1986 (Justup and BTBfin)

Thank you and congratulations Dej Krzysztof for making the first map release (Ul--Rajdowa and Ul--Rajdowa R) in RallySimFans. These are his first RBR map releases, but stages look so good that it is difficult to believe. The stages are technical and narrow, so be careful out there.

We have also pleasure to enjoy yet-another new stage from the legend himself, DMrally. Alpes Rally is well known stage, but this time a surprise stage from DMrally as a two laps super special stage in Alpes. Keep your eyes on the road, not in the sky.

Talking about legends. Ouninpohja is a legendary gravel stage to make every driver feel a rookie and fearing running out of fuel. Ouninpohja 1986 is a shorter 7.5km version, so maybe this time you can brag at school yard you have completed Ouninpohja?

Make sure to read README files in 479-Ul--Rajdowa and 481-SSSAlpesRallySchool MAPS folders to learn more about these stages and how those were created.

Updated stage:
- Drazgose 2014, aka Zelezniki (Pintar Bojan + DmRally). Zelezniki stage was updated and renamed to match the actual stage name.

Re-structured and optimized tracks (smaller disk usage, faster loading):
- Svince
- Svince 2
- Undva
- Undva 2
- Vinec-Skalsko
- Vinec-Skalsko Night

Please read below for more details about NGP and PaceNote plugin updates. Especially the NGP update makes few major improvements and hopefully you all can feel those FFB and steering sensitivity improvements. However, if you experience occassional micro-stuttering after this update then you may have to tweak graphics settings in your AMD/NVidia GPU drivers and in RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics page.

v1.41.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: RBRControls plugin to map steering wheel, joystick and/or gamepad buttons to RBR and RSF keys and actions (menu navigation, rbrvr keys, call for help, retire action and much more). Now you can do most RBR things from controller buttons without ever touching the keyboard.
- New: RBRControls comes with an integrated H-pattern shifter support. This is an improved version of the classic hshifter functionalities. Hpattern/sequential/autodetected-per-car, ambient sound effects, better integration with RBR, multiple controller support, supports the use of RBR control bindings for sequential and using the new RBRControls-hshifter bindings just for hpattern if necessary.

ATTENTION. Do NOT use the old shifter plugin and this new RBRControls-hshifter at the same time. Our recommendation is you should use RSFLauncher.Plugins page to disable the old shifter plugin and to use just this new RBRControls shifter version.

See RSF in-game plugin menu Utils/RBRControls for a shortcut to open the RBRControls configuration screen.

We want send big thanks to Lw Ziye and his testing team in China for working with us to create the RBR Controls plugin. JoyToKey plugin was originally his idea and prototype, and he pushed us to improve it even further and to integrate with RSF. Congratulations for graduating to be a new RBR modder.

Also, yet-another big thanks to Towerbrah and this time for ambient sound implementation in the new RBRControls-hshifter.

- New: RSFLauncher app supports now multiple languages. See RSFLauncher.RallySimFans page and top right corner. There are now English, Chinese, Italian, French, Czech, Hungarian, Spanish and Finnish languages.

ATTENTION. We need your help with Italian, French, Czech, Spanish and other translations. Now those language options are purely machine translated, so those are full of silly mistakes. Please contact RSF administrators in RSF Discord channel for details how you can help to fix translation errors or even to add a new language.

Big thanks to Simrallycn team and community from China for helping us with the Chinese translation and making RSF more easily available for drivers from China. This is much appreciated.

- New: The "Adjust steering wheel range per car" feature supports Moza wheelbases. Thanks to Moza Sim Racing for showing interest to support niche-market like RBR rally simulator community also and not just those big arcade racing game communities.
- New: rallysimfans.ini [stage] tyresoundvolume_gravel/tarmac/snow options to adjust the tyresound volume per surface type. At some point there will be an option in RSFLauncher to adjust this, but not yet.
- New: Practice menu does not show CarAudio/DownloadCar/Install-Slot menu options by default. These are irrelevant for most users. If you want to see these menu commands then set rallysimfans.ini [drive] show_advanced_options=true option.
- Fixed: Small bug fixes here and there as usual.

- Re-structured and optimized track data files (less diskspace, faster load time):
- Peklo, Peklo Snow, Peklo R, Peklo Snow R
- Mlynky, Mlynky Snow, Mlynky R, Mlynky Snow R
- Swiss Gravel, Swiss Tarmac, Swiss III, Swiss IV
- Sturec, Sturec Snow, Sturec II, Sturec Snow II

Always pleasure to see new stages from these two very active stage authors. But stay tuned for plugin updates and even a new plugin release in coming days also.

At the moment Zlín is released as a preview version and available only in certain online rallies. Please keep eye on RSF online rally list with test rallies using the Zlín stage.






v1.39.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Move a cam faster forward/backward by holding down a shift key while scrolling a mouse wheel in freecam mode.
- New: A map author can optionally use per-stage specific cloud mods (ie. a map using custom clouds doesn't have to replace the global default RBR clouds for all other stages). Tracks1234.ini file can use a new Clouds option.
- New: New and updated RBR digidash styles from Darren (Atom Full, Rally Clean, Motec-A-Like). Visit https://rbrdarren.blogspot.com/ for more information about Darren dashboards and co-driver mods and to support his work.
- And as usual other small bug fixes here and there in RSF.

- PS Valstagna Reverse (RALLY Guru)
- Sant Bartumeu - Valldoreix (Vicenc Caihuelas)

- Renewal and optimization of track data files
- ROC 2008 (Miro Kurek + Com8)

Reminder about freecam controls (press F9 key in RBR chase cam mode to enable/disable freecam):
MouseScrollWheel = Freecam moves forward/backward (slow and precise movement).
Shift+MouseScrollWheel = Freecam moves forward/backward faster (easier to move long distances in a map).
Ctrl+MouseScrollWheel = Freecam zoom in/out.
Left and right mouse button click while moving a mouse = Moves and rotates a cam left/right/up/down.

- Fixed: Sait-Bartumeu--Valldoreix weather settings fixed (night).

v1.38.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: The new installer asks for a folder location of the torrent downloaded installation package (torrent folder could be now in different folder than RSF installation).
- New: The installer now dowloads map and plugin updates using tradititional server downloading, so existing RSF installation can be updated without torrent. New installations still need the torrent.
- New: New installations see "Welcome to RSF" message when RSFLauncher is opened for the first time. At this point this is shown also in existing installations because it is recommended reading for a veteran RSF driver also. RSFLauncher.Tips&Docs page has also a button to open it at anytime.
- New: New RBR digidash styles created by Towerbrah and Darren. See RSFLauncher.Cockpit&Dashboard.Digidash styles. Very exciting new digidash designs using a new technique Darren and Towerbrah worked on.
- New: Digidash style option in RSFLauncher shows a digidash preview image. Make sure to check those new digidash styles.
- New: "Adjust Steering wheel rotation range per car" option in RSFLauncher.Controls now supports Simagic M10/Alpha/Mini/Ultimate wheelbases. Special thanks to Simagic R&D team for supporting a custom RBR mod development and their customers playing RBR. Much appreciated.
- New: Some wheels (Simagic, Moza, VRS, Cammus, MS-Sidewinder) may require a special compatibility registry fix to make RBR recognize FFB effects. RSFLauncher.Controls page now has an option to activate and deactivate this fix.
- Improvement: RSFLauncher.Telemetry main menu now shows UDP and REC tags. It is important to know when especially telemetry recording is enabled because those may take lots of diskspace.
- Fix: Online rally list sort ordering.
- Fix: LOW render quality gfx fixes in Undva and Northumbria stages.
- Fix: RSFLauncher now remembers 2D and VR resolution when switcing between game modes.
- Fix: RSFLauncher now remembers the window position and size after exit and re-opening.
- Fix: Smaller bug fixes here and there as usual.

- PS Valstagna (RALLY Guru)

Congratulation to Nereu Rocha for the first public RBR map release in RSF.

Please note PS Valstagna is now available both in offline and online racing, but the road line is slightly different. If you have custom PS Valstagna pacenotes you have to either remove and re-create them or fix existing notes.

Several stages also received new or improved cutting rules. AleksiP has worked hard to review and update several dozens of maps. Please remember to notify RSF admins if you find some missing or problematic cutting places. Thank you.




v1.37.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics supports a version selection option for Vulkan dxvk (1.2 vs 1.3 Vulkan API). The newer 1.3 version supports higher quality SRS Anti-Aliasing, but not all old graphics cards support this new version. If you see "Could not find compatible Direct3D device" error message then try the previous 1.2 Vulkan option. The default is the latest version unless a specific version is selected.
- Bug fixes here and there as usual.

v1.36.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Steering wheel, wipers and windscreen options can now have racing and replaying specific values. See RSFLauncher.Cockpit&Dashboard.
- New: Vulkan with anti-aliasing option. See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.
- New: Car selection screen shows year, shifter type (seq, h-shift) and steering wheel rotation range details along side those usual HP and gears details (only couple cars have this new data at this point, but we are adding these details one by one to RSF database. You will see this information automatically once the data is available).
- Improvement: NGP7 plugin has an option "AdaptiveFFB - Minimum FPS" to keep up the required FPS level. This value is recommended to be slightly below the monitor hz rate (60hz = 58FPS, 144hz = 140FPS). In new installations RSF now detects the refresh rate of the primary monitor automatically and sets this adaptiveFFB FPS option based on this hz rate. See RSFLauncher.Controls.Adaptive_FFB_FPS option.
- Improvement: Car slot #2 selection is no longer shown in the RSF plugin in order to avoid setup problems with certain cars in the slot #2.
- Fix: Startline bug fix where car got stuck in infinite penalty loop and occasional RBR crash there.

- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Integration of physical steering wheel rotation range with a car specific lock-to-lock rotation. Supports several Fanatec, Logitech, Thrustmaster, SimuCube, OpenFFBoard, MMos steering wheels. See RSFLauncher.Controls page and "Adjust steering wheel range per car" and RSFLauncher.MyCars lock-to-lock rotation range options. Big thanks to active members of RSF community for testing with their devices.
- New: Map authors can use several map loading screen (splash screen) images. If there are multiple loading screen image files for a stage then RSF shows randomly one of them while the stage is being loaded. This way map authors can add a bit of variation here.
- Improved: In-game Practice Pacecar option supports now ENTER key press. It shows a list of pacecar recordings from GhostCars folder and you can choose any of those as a pacecar. This is useful if your friend shares you her or his pacecar recording file. Just drop it in GhostCars folder in RBR installation folder.

v1.27.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: RSFLauncher has a new MyReplays page where you can now more easily manage, search and launch RBR replays.
- New: RBR digidash and gaugerPlugin dashboards support optional miles, MPH and Fahrenheit measures (see RSFLauncher.Cockpit&Dashboard options).
- New: RBR render quality MEDIUM option for stages in RBR track format (ie. non BTB stages). Now there are low-medium-high options available and the new medium option improves FPS by 10-15% but doesn't cause stage specific texture bugs like the low option causes. See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.RenderQuality option. Alternative way is to specify this per stage via rallysimfans_personal.ini file in [Stage1234] renderquality=medium option
- Fixes: Here and there small bug fixes as usual.

- New Stages:
- Alpes Rally (DmRally)
- Rally Diepflingen 2022 (Prekek)




v1.26.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Graphics settings support racing vs replay specific options. You can set racing to lower (better FPS performance) quality while replay options use higher quality options (for example CubicEnvMaps and CarShadows are recommended to set Off in racing, but enabled in replays). See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics options.
- New: BTB supports "BTB Render Quality = Low vs High" to optimize BTB performance. The low render quality may help if a PC has FPS issues in BTB stages. See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics options. A big thanks to IvanN for creating the first version of FPS optimized BTB settings.
- New: Graphics settings can be overridden per stage if the global default value set in RSFLauncher is not optimal for a specific stage (see rallysimfans_personal.ini file and [stage1234] options)
- Improvement: If a car uses FMOD engine audio then the original RBR's subaru engine audio is muted automatically.
- Improvement: Weather selection menu now shows an "Overcasted" tag if there are identically named duplicated weather options.
- Fix: If a screenshot is taken (F11 key) while FreezeFrame pause is enabled then the "written file rbr.png" text fades out faster.

- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Support for brand new NGP7 car physics and Fixup mods (created and released by WorkerBee).
- New: On-stage start clock synchronized with 3-2-1 countdown and with optional styles. See RSFLauncher.RallysimFans.StartClock option (countdown secs with or without hh:mm, hh:mm:ss where seconds are synced with 3-2-1 countdown and runs from 50 to 59 before "GO")
- New: Practice menu remembers the latest driven damage selection (Off/Safe/Reduced/Realistic) between reboots
- New: In-game plugin option to disable automated downloading of custom car setups (see in-game plugin Options.Download car setups)
- New: F11 screenshot uses PNG file format with smarter filenames and if RBR is not in fullscreen mode then F11 key takes just the RBR content and not the whole desktop into the screenshot. See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.Screenshot option.
- New: Option to set how long "Race result - Personal best" message on the top right corner is shown when replay video begins (hidden or 1-30 secs. By default RBR shows the message for 16 secs which is quite a long time. See RSFLauncher.RallysimFans options)
- New: RSFLauncher.Controls has "Prevent repeated shift events within N milliseconds" option to workaround issues with faulty sequential shifter hardware (sends more then one shift events to RBR even when you intended to change just one gear)
- Improved: Rally school menu in RSF plugin has gravel and tarmac custom setup selections (some lessons are on gravel while others are on tarmac. These setup selections are automatically used on a lesson based on surface type)

On the behalf of RSF team and drivers in RSF platform we would like to send big thanks to WorkerBee for creating the yet-another new generation of physics engine.





v1.24.0

Thanks to tomsmalley for the idea of RHS-vs-LHS steering wheel adjustment and insights of SGC model file structure.
- New: Possibility to set RBR digidash position per car if the same global digidash position is not optimal with all cars. Enable this option in the new RSFLauncher.MyCars options per-car.
- New: Vulkan gfx mode supports now Vulkan+SimHub combination (See Enhanced gfx mode option in RSFLauncher.Screen&Grapics page).
- New: Automated recovery after 4-5 secs back to road if a car is free falling into void (some maps may have holes).
- New: RBR engine sound volume is now automatically set to 100% when RSF detects the car on stage uses FMOD audio (new RBR users often make the mistake of not using 100% in-game engine volume even when it is required with FMOD engine audio). Tweak FMOD audio volume level via RSFLauncher tool.
- New: Possibility to remap RBRVR control keys to any other keyboard key if default numpad keys of RBRVR are not optimal (see Virtual Reality settings and ControlMapping button in RSFLauncher). Controller keys not yet supported, but coming "soon".
- Improved: Car specific RBRVR seat positions preserved when switching cars.
- Improved: If RBR resolution is changed and old coordinates of PaceNote GUI windows are out of the new screen boundaries then PaceNote GUI windows are moved automatically within the new visible screen area.

v1.22.0
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Keeps RBR alive and running during racing and replaying even when the game is in background. See RSFLauncher "Keep RBR alive in background" option. If you use "3-2-1 countdown paused" then you can even initiate the stage loading and alt-tab to some other application. RBR keeps loading the stage in the background and waits for you at the start line with a 3-2-1 countdown paused.
- New: RBRVR seat positions are now preserved per car and re-used automatically each time the same car is driven the next time. No more tedious rbrvr seat adjusting everytime you change a car.
- New: Personalised car specific settings (instead of one global value for all cars): visual onscreen steering wheel rotation, forcefeedback sensitivity on gravel/tarmac/snow, FMOD volume level. These personalised car properties are preserved in rallysimfans_personal.ini file (automatically created when you drive a car for the first time) and users can edit those options using Notepad until RSFLauncher has a user-interface for these car specific options.
- Improved: A setup file created or loaded in EditSetup screen is now automatically selected as the current setup file when returning to RSF menu.
- Improved: Possible to hide unnecessary weather options in Practice weather menu list (trackSettings.ini files support the new ShowInMenu=false option to hide weather options you hardly ever drive with)
- Improved: New version of Vulkan dxvk driver.
- Improved: Stage authors can choose a default weather and surface options for their stages (please contact RSF admins if you want RSF by default to show certain specific weather, surface and tyre selections when people chooses a stage in Practice or Hotlap racing).
- Improved: Several new stages introduced to the advanced cut monitoring. Cutting rules created in co-operation with Tortue and RSF team.
- Fix: Replaying of "online only" stages is now possible without an offline license as long the user is logged in RSF plugin (use autologon or manually login before replaying "online only" stages)
- Fix: BTB snow particle effect.
- Fix: Alt-Tabbing bug fix in some PC setups.
- Fix: Bug fixes here and there as usual.

- New: Particle support in BTB stages. The default BTBSnow and BTBTarmac particle effect files created by DonPedro. Thank you!
- New: Particle mod KahooV5 included in the RSFInstaller. This is a recommended component if you don't have any other particle mod already. Those who update existing installations should tick "Install Particle Mod (by Kahoo)" option in the last installation screen. New installations have this component selected by default.
- New: Advanced cut monitoring system taken in use on some stages and soon on many more. This was created in co-operation with Tortue and RSF team. Thank you Tortue. Happy to work with you.
- Improved: Freeze Frame feature supports now Freeze-only mode also where the RBR pause menu is not shown at all (see RSFLauncher.Controls page).
- Improved: New version of Vulkan dxvk graphics driver. Vulkan should improve FPS on most systems. This is now modded to support Intel HD integrated GPU also (the previous stock version of Vulkan dxvk worked only with AMD and NVidia GPUs). See RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics page for Vulkan dxvk option.
- Fix: Few weather selection related improvements and fixes while working with DonPedro to test custom weather options on vanilla stages.

-New Stages:
- Biskupice 2004 (Jan Kaderabek, Lorenzo Clerici, Silvio Kuhm) -Online only-

v1.20.1
This RSF version is mainly a bug fix and map release version. No major new features this time (those are waiting for some other time):
- RSF and NGPCarMenu plugin updates (Lacka, Mika-n)
- New: Co-operation with Tortue to have an improved and additional cut monitoring logic supporting brakewalls and time penalties in any map and on any location on a map. Brakewalls work even on BTB stages. We will add these new cut rules map by map in the future and hopefully few good maps make it back to Championship usage also when certain cutting places and "holes in a map" are blocked with these new brakewall and time penalty rules. Big big thanks to Tortue for creating the concept and the proof-of-concept version.
- New: The RSF core engine supports restricted stages (online only vs offline racing). Stay tuned for more information in the near future what this under-the-hood feature means for drivers. At the moment this is just something under the hood and not visible for drivers.
- Improved: FreezeFrame feature not allowed in Online and Hotlap racing.
- Improved: If PaceNote plugin is used to move a car position in Online and Hotlap racing then a time penalty is given even when the jump was less than few meters.
- Fix: Bug fixes here and there as usual

- New BTB stages:
- Karagita Ruma (Marko Kytömäki/Tangoteam)

- CTRL+ArrowKey didn't move RBR HUD in all RBR installations. This bug is now fixed and ctrl+arrowKeys should move the RBR dashboard HUD in all resolutions and rbr configs. CTRL+SHIFT+ArrowKey moves GaugerPlugin dashboard
- Clarified few warning and error messages in RSF plugin.
- Use pageUp/Down keys in the list of online rallies for faster browsing.
