    Curious to see what changed in the FFB for the FU1 and 2. They always felt a bit spongey and vague, hopefully better now.

    "Added controls screen option to reset all saved per vehicle FFB settings."

    How about adding an option to change and saved "world scale" setting per vehicle? I like to play at 1.35 world scale for all the formula cars in VR but the scale appear a bit bigger for GTE (and so I had to manually adjusted every time).

    Great stuff!

    Just to lower the mood slightly (sorry!), I see the rumble-strip haptics are still missing from most of the tracks. Is that on the bug list?

    F-Inter is really cool.
    Formula with aero but not the much too much crazy amount of power.

    I completely forgot that in AMS2 the actual pit crew is actually animated and running towards the cars, changing tyres, etc... I love the small details.

    Also Bathurst 1983 is great!! :)

    Just a heads up, the 99 lap or more Indycar, superspeedway butt sniff formation AI glitch seems to be fixed. Just jumped into a 200 lap race at Auto Club and the AI stayed racey past the lap 3 mark. Will try Daytona and Indy too.

    YES OVALS ARE BACK ON THE MENU BABY!

    No more butt-sniff formation driving for the AI, they are back to passing, and drafting as they were before the christmas patch! Thank God

    The AI seems much better behaved at IMS too. No more plowing throught the grass or just parking in the middle of the track so no one can pass. They are acting much more realistically

    Rio's oval still has the invisable wall, but the AI seem less keen on attempting around the outside passes out of turn 2 into turn 3, so less space launches. Still got one about 12 laps into a mock race.

    As not listed in the Changelog: which cars got LEDs for electronics like ABS or TC and which got them for Wheel Lock and Spin?

    And I already noticed some cars have the RPM values changed, is there also a lost for which cars this applies?

    Is it just me or does the F-Inter have a certain level of bite upon turning in that many other cars don't have and which feels more true to real life? Maybe I'm imagining things though.
