Studio 397 Quote:
Vanwall: Performance Meets Reality
Firstly, we’ve made some significant enhancements to the Vanwall Vandervell. The tires now bear their real-life names, adding an authentic touch to your racing setup. More importantly, based on professional feedback these tires will now behave more like you’d expect, marrying performance with the realities of physics to give you a gripping ride—literally.
Lime Rock Park, Brands Hatch & Mores: Track Limits
For those who love the challenge of Lime Rock Park, we’ve tackled the track limits at the long layout’s uphill chicane and the pit entry— (hopefully) no more unfair penalties. Similarly, at Mores, we’ve gone over the track limits with a fine-tooth comb, including a fix for the issues at the pit entry. Finally, At Brands Hatch, minor adjustments have been made to track limits on GP layout T6-T7 exit.
It’s all about giving you the room to race while keeping the competition fair and fun.
Atlanta Motorsport Park & Botniaring: Fine-Tuning for a Smoother Race
The Atlanta Motor Speedway update addresses inconsistencies with track sectors, smoothing out your lap-to-lap experience. Over at Botniaring, we’ve ironed out some minor AI issues, so whether you’re racing against the computer or setting times, it’s just you and the asphalt.
Longford: Immersive Enhancements
This old favorite sees a suite of updates that not only improve performance but also enhance the sensory experience. We’ve fixed the ambient noise around Kings Bridge for more immersive audio, adjusted long LODs for some objects for better visuals, and made some changes to reduce failed pit stops. Plus, the river water now reflects improved realism, and we’ve made the Rear Flap available at all times.
Release Candidate -> Full Release
Exciting times ahead, as our current “release candidate” branch is making the move to the main “opt-out” branch tomorrow. This means all the refinements we’ve been testing and perfecting are ready for everyone to enjoy. Get ready to welcome a few more users to our new online system!
