Update 25 - Officially Released
Update 25 has been officially released!
In this update, we have primarily dealt with technical innovations. Thanks to the support of Tobii Gaming, we were able to implement the Eye Tracker with which our players, if they have the hardware, can experience the unique Tobii Eye Tracking.
Furthermore, it was possible for us, in cooperation with Fanatec, to optimize our Fernbus Simulator with the appropriate hardware, the input of the devices now works correctly.
We would like to thank both companies for the uncomplicated and great cooperation!
With this update, we also turned to telemetry and added a first BETA output and input, which we will continue to deal with in the coming updates.
