    Thanks as always for the update, sadly all dpad inputs [4 of them] on my DD PRO wheel still dont work with AMS2 - the only sim giving this issue.

    Nice! I really like the ICM changes.

    I have issues though with the Ford powered Lola, I always was overheating my engine, even with 100% radiator opening. I would last half a lap before the engine temps would rise to 130 degrees celsius and kill the engine.

    So you will keep on changing the physics without adding game version numbers to time trial laptimes? So leaderboards are complete garbage yet again in 3 months? (Or maybe they are garbage even from today on)

    Why - dont - you - add - game version - numbers - to - time trial -entries????????

    I am looking forward to these changes:

    1. "Added VR mirror adjustment screen and fixed in-game VR options link incorrectly pointing to main VR options."

    Finally, we get to adjust our VR side mirrors?

    2. "Added optional 'Cycle ICM' control bind which will open the ICM if not open, cycle ICM pages, and close the ICM with a long press. (existing d-pad navigation is still fully supported)"

    Finally a solution to the randomly out-of-order user created strategies?

    3 "Reorganised ICM to a flatter navigation model without submenus and maintain old position on reopenning."

    Finally fixing the random bug of ICM scrolling out of view?

    You are principally right ofcourse - but if the upd changes only make it possible to drive faster then the "damage" is a good one.
    Right ?;)

    The Gen 1s drive about as fantastically as I expected them to but can I give a quick mention to the damage model? This is the most detailed one of any of the open wheelers in game right now I think, and being able to rip the car apart like this is fittingly very reminiscent of IndyCar Racing 2

    Fantastic, AMS2 just keeps getting better and better. Just one thing, Renato no development update? I thought it would come out today...

    In any case, great job guys.

    I have been shooting Road America since 2003 for my website. I can say it has never looked better in a sim than now. It is missing some areas with fans, but overall it looks amazing. Maybe it can be added in a update, but from turn 3 to the Sargento bridge is lined with campers and fans on both sides of the track, right now there are none. The Corvette Coral is also on drivers left coming into turn 3, the Porsche parking is coming into turn 1 on drivers left, and BMW parking is coming up the hill out of 14 on drivers left. Fantastic job on my home track!!
