2026.2.0

⭐ New simulator supported: Assetto Corsa (AC)

• The old school vibes are back! AC is now fully support on par with the existing ACC support
• Enjoy racing in modded tracks, cars, weird configurations all through Assetto Corsa
• DRE supports all sim modes such as Single-Player and Multi-Player
• Use DRE to control your pit stops in AC
  • DRE navigates and adjusts the Quick Pit Menu for you
  • See how to right here
• Have fun racing AC!

⭐ Braking Overlap Signal

• New coaching Signal that helps you hear when brake and throttle overlap during braking zones.
• You can use it to:
  • clean up pedal inputs without staring at telemetry or the simulator pedal UI
  • avoid re-applications of braking
  • save fuel by essential short lift-and-coasting
  • improve cornering consistency
  • improve lap times
• Pedal Overlap Threshold is set to 2% to allow slight overlap. Ultimate subscribers can tune this setting.
• Pedal Overlap Ignored Cars is a filter to exclude certain cars from the signal. You can easily add additional cars.
• Quick throttle blips for downshifts and early corner exit throttle are ignored.
• The Signal does not chatter through small throttle and brake changes during the braking zone after the Signal has sounded once.
• Enable and adjust the Signal in Car -> Peripherals -> Braking Overlap
• Give it a listen right here

⭐ Adjustable pit speeding alert and signal speed offsets

• Added a Pit speeding alert offset setting so you can choose when DRE warns in pit lane.
  • Keep the existing +2.1 km/h default, or tune the margin from -2.0 to +5.0 km/h for stricter pit lanes and cars without a limiter.
• Added a separate Pit Speeding Signal Offset, defaulting to +0.10 km/h and adjustable from 0.00 to +2.00 km/h.
  • If the Pit Speed Approacher signal is disabled, the pit speeding signal can warn before pit entry when you are still too fast.
  • Disabling the Pit Speed Approacher signal now stops the approacher sound immediately.
  • Fixed a bug where the Signal would only sound if the Alert logic was considered "speeding". The Signal is now independent of the Alert logic.
• Available with Performance or Ultimate subscription tiers.
• Adjust in Pit -> Pitlane -> Speeding

⭐ Create your own voice commands for actions outside the simulator.

• Custom Commands can now send keybinds to other apps, such as OBS, Racelabs, SimHub, and similar tools.
  

• Use this for stream scenes, overlays, dashboards, or other external shortcuts without taking focus away from the sim.

• You can also use DRE’s built-in external key command directly:

  • Press keys
  • Press keys to

• Examples:

  • Press keys NumPad4
  • Press keys Ctrl+Shift+K to obs64

• The key combo must use the exact canonical key names DRE supports.

• The optional to part is a safety check. DRE checks that the named process is running before it sends the shortcut. Process matching is exact but case-insensitive, and .exe is optional, so obs64 can match obs64.exe.

• Important details:

  • DRE does not focus or activate the target app.
  • DRE keeps simulator focus.
  • The target app must listen for global shortcuts.
  • A successful key press is silent.
  • Invalid key combos warn and send nothing.
  • Missing target processes warn and send nothing.
  • DRE and the target app must run with the same privilege level. If one runs as admin and the other does not, DRE warns and sends nothing.
  • You can still use Custom Commands to trigger DRE’s built-in commands with your own phrases, so the wording fits how you actually talk while racing.

🔄 Improved Classic Recognition loading time

• Classic Recognition now gets ready much faster after connecting to a session.
• Measured loading time improved from about 39.5 seconds to about 14.5 seconds.
• That is roughly 63% less waiting time, or about 2.7x faster startup for Classic Recognition.
  

🔄 Window shortcut buttons are easier to use

• Added an Always on Top shortcut next to the window controls.
• Improved the shortcut button colors and hover areas, including the Shrink button.

✅ iRating gain callouts played in tiny classes

• DRE stays quiet about iRating gain positions when fewer than five drivers are in your class.
• Manual iRating gain position questions still work when the command is available.

✅ Pit-stop changes were announced when entering the car

• Fixed a false pit-stop changes callout when you enter the car before driving.
• Auto Fuel can still update the planned fuel before the pit-stop changes callout plays.

✅ Updates got stuck while DRE was running

• DRE closes more reliably when an update starts, so the installer is less likely to wait for DRE in the background.
• Silent updates can restart DRE again after the install finishes.

✅ Hot-lapping alerts played too late

• DRE is less likely to tell you to yield for a hot-lapping car after the moment has already passed.
• Hot-lapping yield alerts now name the driver directly instead of saying only him, her, or them.

✅ LMU session data stayed stale after changing sessions

• DRE waits for fresh LMU car, session, and standings data before using a new session.
• Position, class position, leader, and driver-count calls should be more reliable after returning to the menu or joining another LMU session.
• LMU bug reports are less noisy when LMU is open but not in a live session.

✅ LMU rain could be reported as dry

• DRE reads LMU rain from the strongest available weather source, so current weather, track wetness, and pit-stop tire calls better match rainy sessions.

✅ iRacing pace car data pointed at the wrong slot

• DRE handles recent iRacing pace car data where the pace car appears in session info but has no matching live telemetry slot.
• Pace car gap and pacing logic are less likely to use stale or incorrect car data while iRacing’s pace car telemetry is bugged from 26S3 release.

✅ Rare crashes caught by the bug tracker

• Fixed rare crashes in fuel calculations, speech recognition startup, voice command parsing, iRacing session data, DLC file tracking, and Analytics track charts.
• DRE handles temporary simulator, speech, and UI data problems more gracefully instead of interrupting your session.

✅ DRE crashed while preparing voice command settings

• DRE is less likely to crash during startup while preparing generated voice commands for settings.

✅ Fuel Analytics crashed on rare fuel window draw states

• DRE handles rare Fuel Window chart draw problems more safely while keeping the hatched fuel-window highlight.

✅ LMU settings files blocked simulator detection

• DRE handles empty or corrupted LMU settings files more gracefully and can keep searching for LMU with the default connection settings.

✅ Voice command setting changes failed on unclear speech

• DRE handles unclear voice input for multi-option settings more gracefully instead of reporting an internal error.

🐛 Known Issues

• Potential issues with Fuel Fill Rates in iRacing sessions that use new Regulations rule sets, which may alter the fill rates. Investigating…
