(MST/Speedmaniacs.de) - Am Donnerstag, 13. Juli 2023 wurde für die Online-Rennsimulation iRacing für das 2023 Season 3-Build der Patch Nummer 3 veröffentlicht. Damit erhalten Simracer weitere Überarbeitungen in verschiedenen Bereichen der Simulation sowie bei einer Vielzahl an Fahrzeugen und der Strecke Willow Springs International Raceway.

Für die 2023 Season 3 ist ein weiteres Update erschienen Zoom
Eine größere Änderung, die mit dem Update einher geht, ist die damit wirksame Preisanpassung für iRacing-Mitglieder die einen Account über Steam besitzen. Für diese wurden die Preise für den Kauf von Fahrzeugen und Strecken jeweils um 1 US-Dollar erhöht. Für "iRacer" die sich direkt über iRacing angemeldet haben, ändert sich bei den Preisen nichts.
Als Erklärung für diese Änderung heißt es, dass bei direkten iRacing-Käufen die Endverbraucher-Mehrwertsteuer vor Abschluss des Kaufs zum Preis hinzugerechnet wird, während diese Endverbraucher-Mehrwertsteuer bei Steam-Mitgliedern derzeit in das Preis- und Kaufsystem von Steam integriert ist.
Dies habe dazu geführt, dass in der Vergangenheit direkte iRacing-Kunden möglicherweise mehr bezahlt haben als Steam-Kunden. Aus diesem Grund wurden die Preise für Steam-Inhalte um bis zu 1 US-Dollar erhöht, um die Preise für alle Steam-/iRacing-Kunden anzugleichen.
2023 Season 3 Patch 3 Release [2023.07.12.02]:
iRACING:

Steam Users
-The Store purchase prices for both Cars and Tracks for iRacing Members with accounts through Steam have been raised by up to $1.00 each. iRacing Members that subscribe through iRacing directly have no change to pricing for all Cars and Tracks.
-- While direct iRacing purchases add the End-User Vat/Taxes to the price before completing the purchase, currently for Steam members, the End-User Vat/Taxes are built into the Steam price and purchase system. Therefore, some direct iRacing customers may have been paying more than some Steam customers. Because of this, Steam content pricing has increased by up to $1.00 to bring the content prices closer to identical for all Steam/iRacing customers.
--- Content pricing changes are as follows for iRacing Members with accounts through Steam:
---- $14.95 content is now $15.95 content.
---- $11.95 content is now $12.95 content.
---- $4.95 content is now $5.25 content.
---- $2.95 content is now $3.25 content.
This update is in effect as of today's 2023 Season 3 Patch 3 deployment, July 13th, 2023.

Connectivity
-The use of IPv6 "Unique Local" addresses is now allowed.
-- Such addresses are intended to be used only inside private networks (see RFC-4193), similar to the IPv4 private address space.
Optimization
-For users with hybrid CPUs, the worker thread pool algorithm will now be restricted to a maximum number of four Enki threads at any time.
-- Based on our testing and helpful feedback from our Members, this appears to be an optimal setting while we continue to investigate and test for additional hybrid CPU solutions.
Race Control
-Race Admin commands are now fully disabled during Time Attack and Time Trial Sessions.
AI Racing
-AI Drivers have improved their racecraft at roval-type tracks and should no longer attempt passes on the aprons of oval corners
