This release

  • The game bridge now supports six more games!
    • Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO, Assetto Corsa Rally, rFactor 2, and RaceRoom Racing Experience.
    • Every bridge reads the game's shared memory directly - only rFactor 2 needs the free community shared memory plugin.
    • Steering torque arrives at each game's full native rate (400 Hz for RaceRoom, about 330 Hz for the Assetto Corsa family).
    • Bridges are now pumped from MAIRA's high precision force feedback timer, for lower latency and smoother torque.
    • Automobilista 2 was dropped - its telemetry does not include steering torque.
  • New vJoy steering passthrough, for games that give you no way to turn off their built-in force feedback (like Assetto Corsa)!
    • MAIRA passes your wheelbase's steering axis through to the vJoy virtual joystick - bind the game's steering to the vJoy X axis and the game sends its force feedback to vJoy instead of fighting MAIRA for your real wheel.
    • A steering test mode with position and sweep buttons makes it easy to bind the vJoy axis in the game.
  • Added a safety warning to the game bridge page - please reduce your overall strength to a low level before activating a bridge.
  • Fixed sounds not playing after the audio output device is reopened.
  • Updated translations.

Previous releases

Version 2.0.475.10

  • New Game bridge page - MAIRA now works with Le Mans Ultimate!
    • MAIRA translates the game's telemetry into iRacing format in real time, so force feedback, wind, haptics, and sounds all work just like they do with iRacing.
    • Steering effects are limited to the seat-of-pants effect - the understeer and oversteer effects require per-car calibration files, which are only available for iRacing.
    • There are no plugins to install and nothing to configure in the game - MAIRA reads Le Mans Ultimate's built-in shared memory directly.
    • The bridge activates automatically whenever an enabled game is running, and MAIRA switches back to iRacing when the game exits.
    • Per-car and per-track settings work just like with iRacing, using the game's actual car models and track names.
    • Support for Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa EVO, rFactor 2, and Automobilista 2 is coming soon.
  • New releases are now automatically announced on the Discord server.
  • Fixed detection of native USB CDC serial devices.
  • Fixed overloaded audio when the iRacing simulator starts.
  • Fixed the main window being lost when it ends up off screen.
  • Updated translations.

Version 2.0.470.1290

  • The steering effects calibration file is now selected and loaded automatically.
    • The calibration file selector has been removed — the first calibration file found for the current car is loaded automatically when the simulator loads.
    • The calibration graph and the understeer / oversteer warnings now show a notice when no calibration file is available for the current car.
  • Improved AdminBoxx USB reliability.
    • New firmware 4.1.0 prevents SimHub from accidentally freezing the AdminBoxx.
    • The app now probes for the correct AdminBoxx data port and automatically reconnects if the device re-enumerates.
  • The G Tensioner and Typhoon Wind are now detected on more USB adapter chips (FTDI, CP210x, Prolific, and genuine Arduino boards, in addition to CH340).
  • The brake and throttle warning sound now watches the raw pedal inputs — what your feet are actually doing — so throttle or brake applied by the simulator's driving aids won't set it off.
  • Crash protection activation and deactivation are now recorded in the log file.
  • Fixed the saved sound output device reverting to the default device when restarting the app.
  • Fixed the reset countdown icon and overlay dragging on displays with a scaling other than 100%.
  • Fixed the combo box underline disappearing while its drop-down list is open.
  • Updated translations.

Version 2.0.459.1119

  • New shift RPM vibrate effect that pulses the racing wheel when it's time to shift up!
  • The commentary page now shows ElevenLabs voice synthesis errors (for example, selecting a paid voice on a free subscription) instead of failing silently.
  • The G Tensioner seat-of-pants auto-tune now settles faster by draining its peak 10× more quickly.
  • The balance triangle point labels are now shown in MAIRA orange.
  • Fixed a threading issue when repositioning overlay windows.
  • Fixed spurious one-lap-to-green and blue flag signals from the simulator at the end of a session.
  • Fixed localization display errors on the commentary and app manager pages.

Version 2.0.458.1162

  • Major update to the G Tensioner.
    • Renamed the Seat Belt Tensioner to the G Tensioner.
    • New Auto-Tune mode learns the G forces your car actually produces and automatically sets the surge, sway, and heave max G force and the seat-of-pants scale for you.
    • New Balance triangle lets you weight the belt range toward surge, sway, or heave by dragging a dot (hold to reset to center).
  • Overlays can now remember their position and scale per car.
  • Improved AdminBoxx firmware updates with a progress percentage and better protection against boot-up freezes.
  • Renamed the Wind feature to Typhoon Wind.
  • Per-run log files are now saved to a Logs subfolder and kept for 7 days.
  • Normalized UI labels to consistent sentence case.
  • Added missing help topics to the overlays page.
  • Fixed stale steering device fault messages when iRacing force feedback was already enabled on connect.
  • Fixed the G Tensioner minimum/maximum G readout sometimes staying stuck on "---".
  • Updated translations.
