Reiza Studios released v1.25 of Game Stock Car Extreme on the Steam Network. Non-Steam users can update to v1.25 by running GSC Sync.

This update adds theMetalmoro MR18 Prototype car and GX390 rental karts to Game Stock Car Extreme. Reiza also supplied the Johannesburg Historic circuit, Ortona circuit (4 layouts) and an updated version of Goiânia (post-2014).

Furthermore V1.25 features updated sounds and updated tyre physics for all cars and fixes several small bugs. The Reiza Studios dev team also lets us know that they will address some more minor issues and implement previously announced V1.25 features in the coming weeks.

If you already own GSCE you may now switch your Serial Number for a Steam key from the official GSC Extreme website:
http://game-stockcar.com.br/steam-key/?lang=en

Existing NonSteam installs will continue to work even if you do switch your Serial Number for a Steam key, but you will not be able to use the Serial Number again for an install in a fresh system.
Moving to Steam is recommended, but not required. Just like in this release, the plan is to continue updating both versions simultaneously. If you do prefer to keep multiple installs of the game for mods, be advised that for now is not possible with Steam.

Changelog for v1.25:
Cars:
Added Metalmoro MR18 Prototype series
Added GX390 rental karts to KARTS series

Tracks:
Added Johannesburg Historic
Added Ortona (4 layouts)
Updated Goiânia to post-2014 reform

Features & fixes:
Extensive audio revision from new onboard & trackside recordings bring updated sounds to all cars;
Tyre physics updates for all cars further improving lateral / longitudinal force combining;
Adjusted terrain properties (road, curbs, grass & gravel)
The hard compound for the F-Extreme & F-Reiza now has its proper orange Pirelli sidewall label;
Corrected bug with corrupted textures in the F-Vee cockpit when running graphics detail lower than max;
Corrected bug with Spielberg & Buenos Aires corrupted textures when running graphics detail lower than max;

Known issues:
Several code-related issues reported from v1.21 are still present in this build, as the code is going through a rewrite which has not been completed in time for v1.25. For that reason v1.25 has the following known issues:
Bug in the scoring in championship mode for all series;
F-Extreme can occasionally disappear when hitting 8th gear in multiplayer;
F-Extreme & F-Reiza tyre restrictions are not applying in pitstops.

If field of view in-cockpit is too close, check DEFAULT Vertical FOV so it is not set to DEFAULT value (set it to 50 if you want the proper default value)

If you have created a new player profile and are experiencing the graphical micro stuttering, open your USERDATA\Playername\Playername.PLR, and look for these lines:
Shadow Updates=”127″ // Static shadow updates per frame (Shadow Updates * Sky Update Frames should exceed number of static shadows on track)

Change it to:
Shadow Updates=”8″ // Static shadow updates per frame (Shadow Updates * Sky Update Frames should exceed number of static shadows on track)
Sky Update Frames=”150″ // Frames between sky and light updates

Something for hardcore sim geeks amongst us.

Reiza Studios’ physics expert Niels Heusinkveld has shared a very interesting video, explaining the studio’s tire model inner workings.
The 16-minute video below share plenty of details on the tire model that powers the studio’s Game Stock Car Extreme and Formula Truck titles, both of which are based on ISI’s gMotor 2 engine.

Reiza Studios have posted a new video showing us a demonstration of the new Tire pickup and flat-spotting features for Game Stock Car Extreme.

Locking the tires will cause visible damage and will generate an actual physical effect in the form of a so-called flat spot. The actual depth of the flat spot will be generated by a number of parameters, such as tire softness, load, and the time it has been dragged on the track surface. After some laps, the flat spot on the tire will eventually wear down, and smooth out the ride.

At this time, the flat spotting and tire pickup functionality are only implemented on the player´s car. If the recently announced funding campaign proves to be successful, Reiza Studios will be able to further implement the features into the codebase so that also the AI & multiplayer cars will be affected. Reiza Studios has also hinted that another fundamental element of real world racing will become part of the Stock Car Extreme simulator, but did not yet reveal any details.

Those who want to support Reiza Studios in their effort to bring Game Stock Car Extreme to the next level can still do so by participating in the IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign.

Back in April, the OZV8 modding team officially announced their fictional take on the 2015 Australian ‘Supercars’ touring car series with their new, scratch built mod that will be coming to the Game Stock Car Extreme title. The OZV8 modding team also mentioned that the licensed physics and sounds would be provided by the Reiza Studios development team.
Today Reiza Studios have released a new preview video, showing the Super V8 car in action in Game Stock Car Extreme.

The video also shows off the modern Montreal track, beta versions of the new content will be available to try for backers in a few days time.

Engine sounds like it's ripped from iRacing

The extra sounds of the gearbox, exhaust etc bring it to life though.

So I opted into Reiza Simracing Bonanza yesterday, they were at 76% when I did it, now they are at 93%... It'll easily make 100% or more before it ends, so get on it.

The $25 option was the best for me as you get GSCE Beta access & I already own the old GSCE & Formula Truck. But if you go $35USD you get the beta access as well as Steam Keys for both the legacy GCSE & FT.
I received my Beta key this morning, it's a separate install to the legacy GSCE & already contains the V8's.

Then I see this today... as can be seen in Niels Heusinkveld latest Talk & Drive vid below. He does much of the physics works for Reiza, if you didn't know.

Patrick Giranthon has released Team ORSM’s excellent Bathurst track for Game Stock Car Extreme.
