    Awesome. And is there a thread going to start explaining the new FFB settings and how best to adjust?

    Not sure ... is the performance fixed in this? There's something written about "custom FFB" performance, but I for one don't have any FFB and still had performance issues, so...

    I noticed in one of the November development updates that it mentioned the ability to restrict the number of tyre sets per event was being implemented, is that coming this month?
    Oh and by the way the new dlc is an insta buy for me

    Woohoo! AMS2 is non stop action at the moment. Servers busy, and content arriving regularly at the moment. Exciting times.

    Having a few free days is a great idea too. Hope it works to encourage a few more buyers.

    We have included an update in the FFB loop (still worth checking also with a pad). Please also turn off "UDP" in the AMS2 system settings to see, if it has an effect!

    Sorry, but I don't know what is meant by system settings (and I've never heard of UDP). How do I access these?

    Thanks, never saw that option before. It was already turned off, as is shared memory. Does the "UDP Protocol Version" have any effect? It's currently on Project CARS 1.

    The new cars feel incredible! They seem a little more controllable than their old CART Extreme counterparts (until you get into the rain), but are still absolute buckets of fun to throw around
    The tracks are just as good too: Cleveland is a nice change of pace and the Glen is...well, the Glen
