Reiza Studios have released the latest update to their icon title Stock Car Extreme bringing the title up to version 1.51 and featuring a number of bug fixes and enhancements as well as a new layout to the popular Velo Cittá Circuit.
Backers of the recent Crowdfunding campaign have had access to this update for a little while it is now available to the wider public via both Steam and for those who own the title as a standalone install, Reiza's own GSC Sync.
Please visit the official Reiza Studios forum here on RaceDepartment for further information on developments and join the discussion about this latest update.
Full changelog can be found below:
INSTALLATION (Non-Steam users): Update to v1.51 by running GSC Sync.
If you are having any trouble updating via GSC Sync, you may download all the update packages from the links below:
Note: A full v1.51 installer for fresh NonSteam installs is coming up soon (11gb in 7 files).
IMPORTANT!
If you have any issues getting the game to run, please make sure to consult the troubleshooting thread and all the recommendations in the opening post.
For the new STEERING ROTATION feature introduced with v1.50:
All Logitech & Thrustmaster wheels with adjustable rotation should be working with this feature. Fanatec wheels should too, except for the V2 wheelbase which is still in development.
If you have any of the supported wheels, it is recommended you set Enable Custom Steer Rotation to NO from OPTIONS > CONTROLS, and let the game customize the appropriate rotation range for each car:
If Enable Custom Steer Rotation is set to NO, the rotation range below it has no effect so you may ignore it.
Some cars will also allow some range for adjusting rotation from the garage menu - ex. F-Extreme is defaulted to 360º, but you can increase that 450º from the garage. Others (like the Lancers) are fixed at 900º.
Logitech users should make sure "Allow game to adjust settings" is ticked in your profiler:
In case you do not have a controller with adjustable rotation, OR if your steering wheel is not yet supported by this feature, you should set Enable Custom Steer Rotation to YES, and define how much rotation range you have in your controller in the setting below - the game should then work same as before (with any adjustment per car done manually both here & controller profiler) and STEER ROTATION SETTING in GARAGE1 menu will have no actual effect.
