Time for some news from the RCS team.

Martin has been working hard on the new improved version of RCS64. This week I was actually able to do my first laps using the new environment !

I am especially happy with the new pitstop menu which is a lot more user friendly. In this future edition the Pit Menu has been altered – if  tyre simulation is disabled there will not be the option available on the Pit Menu to change tyres. This leads to a clearer cleaner looking Pit Menu which should be easier to use for newcomers to RCS64.

The new version will only have one race screen which will be used for both Practice and Qualifying and Grand Prix and Endurance races – again this should make it easier to use as there are less screens to become accustomed to. You will also be able to choose if you want to show race positions in leader board style or in the static dashboard style. You will also be able to choose how race information is sorted via position or best lap times, depending on race type. So basically more options and less clutter.

Tyre, fuel and damage are already functional in the new version with some improvements! Work is now progressing on the weather feature which is undergoing some major changes. Instead of sunny/cloudy/rain, influence on driving and brakes will now be based on track conditions. So, if it starts to rain the track will get wet, but not completely wet at the first rain drop as it did in the last version!  Also, get ready for a new option of  an extra set of tyres – no longer just Hard and Soft but Intermediate too!

In the next update I hope to show you some screenshots. 

A little more testing by Martin and myself and then the Beta testing team will be let lose on this new massively improved RCS64 version. Can’t wait to let all our users out there get their hands on it, but sit tight ladies and gentlemen it won’t be released until it meets the RCS64 team’s exacting standards. This could take a few months at least!

In the mean time Team RCS hope you are enjoying version 87.
