Rallysimfans.hu plugin news
2024.03.08
Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5046

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, MiguelBernardo7).


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.

Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5045

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.

2024.01.04
Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5044

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 and replay 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).
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.

2023.12.23
Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5043

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

2023.11.10
Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5042

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.

- 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.

Plugin update:

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5038

v1.43.0
- 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.

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 track data files (less diskspace, faster load time):
- 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.

The beginning:
The rallysimfans.hu crew decided to develop their own plugin for Richard Burns Rally.
This plugin will feature several gaming modes for RBR like Hotlapping, Online Rally, Real-Time Rally and Testing/Practice mode. This is a grandious plan and we will inform the RBR fans here about the new features and versions of the "rallysimfans.hu plugin".
