- New: RSFLauncher. Screen&Graphics and Cockpit&Dashboard has new "VR Racing" options to make it possible to define different gfx settings for 2D and VR gaming modes.

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.

| | 2023.08.28 | Plugin update:
Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5034
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.

| | 2023.08.18 | Plugin update:
Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5033
v1.40.0
This time a release with new maps only (without plugin updates).
New stages:
- Zlín SS1 (by Jan Kaderábek)
- La Mussara Shakedown 1 & 2 (by Trasky).
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.
Recently Spain has been "spoiled" to have numerous new maps. La Mussara Shakedown is an excellent addition there with lots of details to keep eye on along the route.
We wanted rush out this map release for this weekend because Barum Rally starts on Friday and many of you may recognize a legendary stage name Zlín. Now is your chance to test drive Zlín in RBR while your favorite rally drivers are driving it live.
At the moment Zlín is released as a preview version and is available only in certain online rallies. Keep eye on RSF online rally list with test rallies using the Zlín stage. The stage is not yet 100% ready, but it already looks amazingly detailed city stage. Please see a separate message about the story of Zlín, status and its creation process.

Zlin's story:
The Zlin SS1 track is my personal project, a realization of my dream to bring my hometown into the virtual realm, and that too in the form of an iconic rally route in our beloved RBR!
It is the result of many years one person's effort (approximately 2 years of full-time work!), during which I created all the models and textures from scratch, based on photo-references I have taken - including 110 detailed buildings, all the road network, sidewalks, bridges, road signs, and so on.
I am incredibly happy that despite numerous periods of frustration (due to the endless work and also related financial demands), I have nearly completed this project! Only some final adjustments to the track remain, such as spectators and other related objects, as well as replay functionality. I hope you can tolerate that during the very first test.
I believe this project deserves further updates (especially updating it to 2023 version), however, in order to continue dedicating myself to developing the track, I will need to at least partially cover the expenses I have invested in it over these years.
Please visit https://www.jlstages.com/ web site to see how you can financially help to add missing things into the stage and to make it available in your own online rallies and in offline racing both in Rallysimfans and RBRTM platforms.
At the same time I have created a personal https://patreon.com/jkad page through which you can follow further updates.
See you on the track.
Jan Kaderábek

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.

| | 2023.05.01 | Plugin update:
Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5029
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.

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)

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.

Plugin version NGP7: 0.54.5025
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.
