We have released VBOX Sim v1.0.42, including full iRacing support to the 'Public Test' branch.
We are still testing this version internally - but so far testing has been positive. Therefore we would like to offer this version to sim racers that are keen to start using VBOX Sim with full iRacing support over the festive period.
To access the public test branch, right click on VBOX Sim in your library and go to properties then the 'betas' tab. Select the 'public beta testing' beta. Steam should then update VBOX Sim to this later version.
Now, iRacing's 'telemetry' is automatically started and stopped when VBOX Sim starts/stops logging data/recording video.
Once VBOX Sim has stopped logging (when you finish a race or become stationary for 5 seconds), it will synchronize the vbo file with the accurate position in the iRacing telemetry file. The vbo can then be opened in Circuit Tools, where the track will be correctly identified and the map will show an accurate position.
iRacing telemetry files can get quite large, so by default we clear telemetry files that are more than one week old. It is possible to switch this off in the 'help' tab.
You may notice that there are 2 vbo files for a given video file for iRacing, both with the same name but on with a 'backup' suffix. This is the original vbo logged by VBOX Sim in case something goes wrong and you need to revert. This hasn't happened to us in our testing but is there just in case.
