    Watching Replays and Broadcasts in RaceRoom will start to look even more realistic after this upcoming patch.

    [​IMG]

    With the introduction of the "Depth of Field" Effect, we are simulating the way real cameras work when focusing on cars in a race and in general.

    [​IMG]

    You will notice how the fore- and background will be slightly blurred, depending on the distance and zoom of the camera, giving the sim a much more realistic look when viewed from our track cameras.

    [​IMG]

    The Effect will also be enabled in "Free Camera" mode, enabling you to capture more realistic looking screenshots and videos.

    [​IMG]

    When using the "Free Camera" you can even enable "Manual DOF Mode" by pressing the key you have mapped for it and adjust the DOF width, position and blur intensity using your mouse buttons and scroll wheel to create your perfect shot.

    [​IMG]

    But don't worry, the Effect is not enabled in Cockpit View, keeping your driving experience free of any artificial effects, and you can choose to enable/disable DOF in the visual settings.

    New Tire and FFB-Physics would have been more beautiful.

    You get that with every update, any new release comes with latest evolutions.

    If you meant updating older content, need time for that but we'll get there in the end.

    Awesome! Love the continuous improvements and development on R3E, especially the little details.

    I'm looking forward to the upcoming patch.

    and now, we still need a DOF with real fog effects ... and the racing sim winner in this autumn is: RaceRoom (fingers crossed)

    Any kind of HUD or Text is of course not affected by the DOF.

    Looks great guys! Hopefully the focus transitions are smooth, should make the replays some of the best in the genre.

    Nice multiclass preview too Georg!
