終于在鴿了幾個月后，rF2放出了了新的RC版本更新，本次包含了一系列大改動～

首要的就是在幕后工作了好幾個月的SSR屏幕空間反射，這意味著濕地賽道能夠更準確的反射出環(huán)境元素，大家可以在雨天上賽道開一下體驗一下SSR的效果。此外，我們也對云的渲染和不同環(huán)境的光線平衡做了一些改動，下文會描述更多。

細節(jié)見真章：一些微小的但是已經(jīng)被等待許久的改動，像是記住服務器密碼，可以在服務器上看見旁觀者并且操作，以及一些UI的優(yōu)化（尤其是頁面的切換——），以及我們將服務器列表加載改為異步，不在block住使用，減少了等待時間。

另外一塊我們關注的關鍵區(qū)域，就是新用戶引導，我們加入了設備設置以及選擇下載的基本內(nèi)容的首次啟動引導來幫助新用戶更好的使用游戲。

另外我們也更新了直播overlay，加入了DRS展示，轉(zhuǎn)速，速度，油門輸入等顯示～

對于比賽系統(tǒng)部分，如果你選擇加入RC版本，意味著版本號升級了，此時你無法加入現(xiàn)在的比賽系統(tǒng)的比賽。但是我們加入了一些RC版本專屬的測試比賽，同時也是首次嘗試鎖定調(diào)教的比賽。分別是488GTE和MP4-8的比賽。

此外，本月23號，將會有一次非常特殊的特別賽事，并且之前預告了一個神秘新車，也許是2022規(guī)格的假F1，同時可能會帶來混動支持？拭目以待

General

• rFactor 2 Build Bumped to 1125

• Added MetallicNoise.dds to Vehicle Common Maps so that it does not need to be packed with each car

• Updated Flag Stations so they will not assign to the Pit Path.

• Updated parsing of Flag Station Instances (cornerworkers, safetyworkers, digitalflags) so all instances are parsed and do not require any specific naming order.
