New

  • On selected cars, your profile photo will be automatically loaded into your project’s pit sign board by default as a Car Parts layer for new projects. This functionality will be rolling out to more cars over the coming weeks.
  • You can now use the following shortcodes in text layers to dynamically insert the following: %NAME%%TWITTER_NAME%%FACEBOOK_NAME%%INSTAGRAM_NAME%%TWITCH_NAME%%YOUTUBE_NAME%%WEBSITE_URL%.
  • Added 297 new original vector illustrations to the Graphics menu so you can make your paints your own.

Improved

  • If you clone a project, it will now note which project that the new project is based off on the Projects List screen.
  • When viewing a shared project with view-only (no editing) permissions, improved clarity over which tools are enabled.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where Helmets and Suits were being saved as an unsupported resolution. If you raced or exported a helmet or suit from Paint Builder that does not show up in iRacing, try re-opening the project and racing it again.
  • Fixed a bug where “Sort By” was not working on the Favorite Projects screen.
  • Fixed a bug where some complex layers’ Finish options were not being saved correctly in the Spec Map file.
  • Fixed a bug where project preview thumbnails were not generating when using Paint Builder on mobile browsers.
  • Fixed a bug where view-only users of a shared project could enable or disable painting guides on a project by using keyboard shortcuts.

Cleanup

  • Improved error-message verbiage in the unlikely event a layer’s image cannot be loaded when a project is opened.
  • Various improvements intended for better performance and reliability.
