v1.54.0 (2025-03-23)


What's new in RallySimFans (RSF):

- New: NGP7 7.5.779 and PaceNote 2.0.779 plugins by WorkerBee. See below for more details.
- New: RBRHUD 0.3.4.18 plugin by Towerbrah. See below for more details.
- New: OpenRBRVR 2.0.4 by Detegr/TorttuP. See below for more details.
- New: OpenRBRTriples 0.3.1 by Detegr/TorttuP. See below for more details.
- New: The default carparts and skin pack with support for new cars and additional carparts. See below for more details.

- New: RBR DirectX modded by Towerbrah to use DX shader model 3.0 version (originally RBR uses very old shader model 1.0). This gives more possibilities to improve RBR graphics quality and improves FPS. Please read below for more details about RBRHUD updates.
- New: Vulkan dxvk graphics driver updated to a new version. This new version should improve Vulkan FPS in some NVidia and AMD gpu graphics cards. Make sure you have the latest NVidia/AMD GPU drivers installed. See github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki for more details.

- New: VNM Direct Drive Xtreme wheelbase is now supported with RSFLauncher.Controls.AdjustSteeringWheelRangePerCar feature. Big thanks to VNM Simulation (www.vnmsimulation.com) for their cooperation while implementing this new support and Wykster for beta testing VNM wheelbase in RBR.

- Improved: RSFLauncher.Controls.AdjustSteeringWheelRangePerCar feature now knows how to restore the default steering wheel rotation range when RBR is closed. This works with SimuCube, VNM, Moza, Simagic, Asetek and MMOS wheelbases.
- Improved: New carID.PNG screenshot filename option in RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics.Screenshot.
- Improved: New HD quality "broken windshield" textures (by AleksiP). We recommend you to tick this option in the Rallysimfans Installer app if this is not selected by default.
- Improved: Minor RBRControls plugin compatibility tweaks.

- Improved: RSFLauncher dashboard style improvements when setting up a default RBR profile in a new installation. RBR digidash, RBR race clock in the top left corner, GaugerPlugin and RBRCountdown are automatically disabled if RBRHUD plugin is installed because RBRHUD does the same better and a lot more.
- In an existing RSF installation we highly recommend you to disable RBR digidash and RBR race clock options in RSFLauncher.Screen&Graphics page and disable GaugerPlugin and RBRCountdown plugins in RSFLauncher.Plugins page. RBRHUD plugin does those same things better and more efficiently.

- Fixed: RBR digidash was sometimes shown even when a digidash was disabled in RSFLauncher options.
- Fixed: Under certain conditions a stage specific custom RBR marshal animation scripts and textures didn't work.
- Other tweaks and bug fixes here and there as usual.

- Fixed car affecting car interior in the internal cameras.
- Fixed car texture reloading (F5 key press) not working on certain graphic modes. Skin authors love this feature because live preview of a new skin while a car is on stage has never been this easy.

New maps:
- 533 Wythop II (by Edd Hartley). The previous release had a wonderful Wythop stage and double Wythop means double fun. This is the reverse version of Wythop.
- 544 Oskola 2023 (by M. Virtanen). M Virtanen has been busy and now he releases not just one but three new gravel stages in Finland. The grand theme is the legendary history of "The rally of 1000 lakes" (aka nowadays Rally Finland). Pick an old car and you can live those legendary times in RBR. High speed jumps, blind corners and a loose gravel surface makes everyone humble.
- 545 Toikkala (by M. Virtanen). See above.
- 550 Sirkkam?ki (by M. Virtanen). See above.
- 553 Passauna (by NaroGugul). NaroGugul really knows how to push the boundaries of RBR graphics engine and Blender tools. Passauna and Passauna II are beautiful gravel stages and really fun to drive.
- 554 Passauna II (by NaroGugul). See above.
- 556 Cote de Cauterets Slalom (by MonkeyZy). We already have 555 Cote de Cauterets stage as a traditional rally stage with pacenotes. MonkeyZy created this interesting slalom version where we don't have pacenotes. Hillclimb slalom version has small changes to make it more safe stage to be driven without a co-driver. You know how to use a handbrake? This stage is for you.

Updated maps:
- 501 Myhinp?? 2023 (by M. Virtanen). Guardrail, shadow, weather and other improvements here and there.
