SimSync PRO 4.2 beta 1 released

We are very proud to announce today the release of the SimSync PRO 4.2 beta 1

Together with some bugfixing, we introduce some brandnew features with this version:

  • Remote Styles&Skins
    Use the new WebSync Style-Editor to modify the skin and colors of your leagues SimSync PRO client.
    »
  • Dedicated Server mode
    Sync only those files on your dedicated server which are needed for operation. e.g. do not download *.dds files which aren’t needed by the dedi server
    This feature is currently only available for rFactor 1&2 and other rFactor based games.
  • Improved delete function by using diff files
    The sync tries to find out, if files have been removed from the sync server by comparing the cached index file with the remote index file. Files which are referenced in the cached one, but are not available in the remote file will be added to list of files to delete.
    This feature is available only in series which are allowed to delete files.
