BREAKING NEWS! I HAVE INTERNET BACK. Lol sorry just really excited I'm back to civilization and not way out in the country. Only thing left to do is get a new table that I can mount my wheel to and I'm good to go. Tom, let me know if you need help with anything.

Cheers buddy, that's awesome news 👍

Downforce and setup adjustments will sort this out. One of the things I really like about the FGT is how you can't take one setup and make it work for every track. You need to make tweaks here and there to get it dialed in for whatever circuit your on, just like you would to a car in real life.

I'm taking one setup and making it work for every track (ovals being exceptions).

Also, they've fixed the tyre wear so that softer tyres finally wear out quicker than harder tyres. (racing hards wear out about 9% quicker than before, and racing softs wear out 50% quicker than before. I imagine racing mediums are in the middle at 30% more wear than before) We may need to find new tyres to use, and all my strategies are now useless.

The rolling start bug has also been fixed.

The most important change of all: The lights on the pace car flash!

That's brilliant news about the rolling start, and i'm doing the same for my setup

The pace car lights actually flash? My god that's awesome!

Certain aspects of the update have been good but they've screwed up in a couple of areas. Firstly Tyre wear was exaggerated enough to begin with but now it's ridiculous, won't cause us many problems though on comforts 👍

And that dynamic chase cam is really starting to annoy me, I only use it so I have a better idea of where I am in relation to other cars and now I can't see anything thanks to it shaking the camera around 👎

Yeah, I can't see why they couldn't have just added the new chase cam IN ADDITION to the old one.

May have to rethink the Spa race, the DLC issue is already causing problems at TOCA.

Also on the update, may sound random but they said 'Improved Racing Sounds' I just bought the Dodge Viper SRT ACR '08 and added a Racing Exhaust and Engine Stage One and a ECU and at 180 in 5th gear it sounds like a rough machine gun.. Not so improved I you ask me

I noticed during Nascar I could hear the air rushing past me when out of the draft, pretty cool.

New engine sounds? Nah. Let's put wind.


In ALMS league I got a 5 lap/8 minute stint with RS @ Cote d' Azur. Spa could be an issue here for this.

Everybody is forgetting we use comfort tyres which should last ages still I was considering dropping Spa as you now have to own the track DLC to race on it, regardless of the room host.

I didn't know looks like I'm gonna be last in every race anyway.. Comfort tyres still do last ages as I did about a 2 minute long donut in 6th gear on comfort hards in my NATIONWIDE mustang earlier and they still had bit left on them. And instead of Spa put Monza on the calendar

I know a lot of people don't agree but I am one of the people who paid for the dlc so I'm glad they made the change. It was aggravating knowing I paid however much to support PD and get the content and whoever didn't pay got it anyway.

 

[cgr-10]

I agree mate, completely 👍

I honestly don't mind as all I really use the game for ATM is online racing series

I sent you a PM about this series, I don't plan on racing but I do like the idea.
