will. The game then match on screen wheel to the new degree?

Not yet, but they fix it will automatically adjust.

 

[Felice Pugliese]

good

 

[Msportdan]

until they do ill just stick with 540 deg.. that will be confusing otherwise

 

[Aleksander Pienkowski]

I've just updated the game but I don't see this 'test drive any car for free' feature. Where is it? Can anyone tell me?

 

[Georg Ortner]

here: http://game.raceroom.com/store/cars/
click the small wheel icon at the bottom left of each car item.

Don't know if I'm doing something wrong but when I test drive a car it gives me the default settings for that car (not possible to modify, and I knew this) but also the FFB values seem to be reverted to default? Is this something that could be modified? Without my customized settings I find driving these cars really difficult...

 

[Georg Ortner]

the FFB values seem to be reverted to default?

Are you sure about that? Maybe the car you are testing just feels different?
You could try a car that you already own and compare the ffb.

 

[Msportdan]

..

 

[JayS]

Really good the WTCC extension.
When can we estimate more tracks? (ADAC GT and WTCC)
Because for the moment the availible ones annoying a bit.

Sooo... let's say i use dfgt with 900 degrees in native driver. Then i drive a car with 540 degrees and no matter what, the in game wheel animation will match it? After i pass to a car with 900 degrees of steering(like the volvo 240), in game wheel animation will be 900 degrees without having to fiddle with any kind of setting?

You can tell i'm a little bit slow in the head But this is the only downside i was able to find in this update. Stellar work other than this confusing thing. Congrats!

Sorry I expressed myself not very clearly but... I'm having this issue right now:

There is something strange with the steering force.
After restarting the race or leader board challenge the steering force is much heavier.

edit: The FFB is not the same anymore like before the update. Was happy with it....
On every track i tested it's the same problem , the steering force change.

Got another 43MB update. Hope all your errors will miss me. :-o

 

[SunBro]

Sorry I expressed myself not very clearly but... I'm having this issue right now:

Yeah i also experienced this and strangely, re-restarting it does the trick for me. Weird little bug.

Same here. What have you fixed, guys? The-Multiplayer-crash-when-back-to-pits issue?

[Felice Pugliese]

I did the second update of a few mb, but in the mp game keeps crashing, are the only or even you?

 

[Emilio]

You have a g27?

Yep, correct

 

[Georg Ortner]

Noted. We will look into it.

 

[Emilio]

Noted. We will look into it.

Thank you Georg!

 

[James Cook]

Is the game down again?

Edit - cancel that, it's loaded up now. I was getting errors before.
