| 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.

v1.44.0
- 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.

- 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.

| | 2023.10.06 | 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)

- 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):

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.

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.

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.
