As well as a new Developer Roadmap posting earlier today, Studio 397 has also been hard at work deploying a new update to rF2 and the GT3 and GTE pack of cars...
Released today on Steam, rFactor 2 and the content within has received not one but three very tasty updates, one to the base game that brings with it some very useful performance boosts and improvements for VR users - not least of which is the very well executed 'Stabilize Horizon' feature amongst other tweaks to the core simulation.
Alongside a new build deployment to the game itself, both the recent Endurance Pack and slightly older GT3 DLC car packs have been updated too, in the case of the GT3's we've received a nice update to the current standards introduced with the Endurance Pack of cars, most noticeable of which is the move to the new tyre model alongside some visual changes with the introduction of position lights and new features for traction control and ABS in car adjustments. This is the fourth update to the GT3 pack, and potentially one of the most prominent ones yet.
In terms of the epic 'Endurance Pack' set of cars, containing lets not forget an LMP3 and LMP2 specification car alongside the high profile GTE machines, this one covers off some useful updates to the tyres and BOP settings, bringing the cars nicely in line to perform in multiclass races against both the Endurance Pack content, and also the GT3s as an additional class.
Change logs for all three updates can be seen below:
