• Fixed helper spring implementation bug causing deflection to subtract from vehicle´s suspension travel (fixes issues with Porsches bouncing on bump stops & AI cars occasionally rolling because of it)
• Adjusted Porsche Cup FFB max force
• Adjusted engine compression curves for Mercedes GT3, Stock Cars, Montana (slightly reduced engine braking in all)
• Adjusted Traction Control base slip to allow for more slip before system kicks in
• Porsche Cup AI wet tire calibration pass
• Nurburgring / Nordschleife various fixes & adjustments to render and materials; tweaks to outer terrain geometry & grass/terrain texture blending, car park around Youtube corner, LOD distance tweaks, fixed grasscrete material in GP segment; reduced Reduced tire barrier flickering for Nordschleife layout; adjusted some TVcameras to minimize shimmering issues (still more to fix)

We should take it as a compliment i guess.

Earlier ist was possible turn off or skip the Formation lap.
Now After some weeks of disappearing from the Game i cant skip it in Championship mode anymore.

And thats bad because the formation lap is just annoying while the AI is ramming me of the Track before Race Start in 4 of 5 times.

Where do I post ams 2 videos?
Anyway here's me pressuring someone into a mistake.

Love to hear fellow Aussie's having a laugh on the Yooootubes. You should come racing Friday nights with our group (well 4 or 5 of us).

Any news on GT3 BMW M6?

Any news on GT3 BMW M6?

I’m not sure what the original source was, but someone here mentioned a few days ago that the goal apparently was to release the M6 as part of an end-of-month update for November.

 

[Blamer]

I am looking forward to BMW M6

Any news on GT3 BMW M6?

we got it, you want the M6....

 

[dreamer al]

Correct!!!

 

[GagarynGaribaldi]

Correct!!!

You'll get it. Your posts won't make that happen any quicker though.

That is obvious. I don't know why you make that comment though. I was simply asking a question.

Edit: Gary, I think you may need to get out more, my friend.

I've found that, with the 720 S, handling very similar to the same car with the "safe" setup in ACC can be achieved. I'm satisfied with that, given the fact that the pros praise the latter so much.

But AMS 2 doesn't seem capable of mimicking more aggressive handling; it's far too forgiving. Having the TC almost completely off is like having it on five in ACC.

Aren't we all, so we can stop pinging devs on where is M6?

Send me some info and I'll be there.
Thx.

Please don't go out. Stay inside and stay safe in these pandemic times.
Play racing sims!

No - I have the M6.

[Tarmac Terrorist]

Loving this Sim more and more! But have any of you experienced anything like these issues or is it just me?

 

[Kurupt CDN]

Is anyone experiencing audio distortion and crackling in the newest build with the M6?
