This patch contains several additional features which have been developed as a direct response to feedback from the community. Whilst it is not always possible to accommodate every feature request, we have worked hard to include everything practical.

Thanks for your continued support.
 
Thanks for the update FarrariPro and hope it sorts it all out this time then we gamers can start some leagues.

Just one more thing any news on the official forums?
 
Wow trophies and custom soundtrack support! That was unexpected! PD take note!

plus taking screenshot & private lobbies!

I think now this is a true news more than a rumor that screenshot support is coming with new 2.50 firmware. I dont know if this patch is gonna use this 2.50 feature or a embedded function like mgs4 has.that is cool:dunce:
 
thx for the great news, it's nice to see developers care about their game, and will to improve it.

Is it possible for you to add cluch for older ferraris, and h shifter configuration.
there is also a lot of power shift, that is not good especially when shifting from 2nd to first gear.
 
Thanks for the update!!
As a casual gamer, I haven't played this game in awhile now... Mainly cause i'm not used to games being supported like this. (Buy, Play & Forget)

I think I'm going to start playing it again. haha
Thanks again!! 👍
 
still no clutch support ? come on system3 give us that, cause that is really important for a lot of us, and what happend to the DLC that was supposed to come in august ?
 
How do you download this patch? I noticed some lag issues & I thought I would check here.
 
As usual - once the new patch is available you just boot up the game and it will inform you that there is a update.
Then just follow the instructions and your FC is up to date.
 
I suggest dialing the crazyness of the AI down.

I don't have a problem if the AI is programmed to be super fast or to make no mistakes, but it is something if the AI cars are programmed to kill you.

yes Rocket Punch we know you don't like the AI
maybe you should watch some porsche supercup or some semi-pro touring car championship and you will see that a small hit from the opponents just the regular stuff is.

dont pretend like the AI is some sort of angry gran turismo online racer

It's not a small hit if the AI ram me enough to spin me out, it is not small hit if I am on the racing line and the AI decide to nudge me off the circuit. The AI's behavior in FC if put into any online PC race sim league races will get you banned.

That's my opinion, if you fanboys can't take it, don't read it. I started to think some of you are actually system 3's programmers, LOL.

Thanks I didn't know that.
 
All great news and great to see some interaction from "Ferrari Pro" great to see that you guys care about the community enough to hold your hands up.....thanks.

Now there's some hope of a good online experience with this game and the possibilty of some league racing soon.

Any news on a date for the patch yet
 
Any news yet Ferrari Pro? even I'm getting restless.

The RACE Pro demo comes out in less than 3 weeks so if this patch doesn't come out soon I may not have the time or inclination to play this game anymore and that would be great shame.

I also think that if this game isn't fixed before the RACE Pro demo comes out S3 will lose a lot of potential customers to SimBin.
