    Please tell me, in formula hitech gen2, which as far as I understand is a reflection of the 1993 cars, the presence of DRS is indicated, is this some kind of error, or am I not understanding something?

    The "DRS" button lowers the rear suspension to stall the underfloor and reduce drag.
    It is in essence a real drag reduction system. It just works differently than in modern cars.

    It was a real thing, it's not like, a mistake on the part of the developers, they just used a modern 'name' that was already in the game to refer to it - easier on the HUD and easier on the button menu.

    I have had regular crashes that i didn't experience with the short testings i have done.
    Switching to different Proton versions didn't help. So i decided to delete the whole config directory
    and could drive about 15 minutes before quitting. So that might have helped.

    I think, a lot has been said, it starts to become repetitive at this point and indeed drags along a bit. The vision of what is targeted is clear and potentially not to everyones liking (while i read stuff here that doesn't make sense for the direction some changes have taken, but doesn't matter).

    Debating about how unrealistic sim A is vs. sim B isn't really wanted here. There are preferences on each side and it just leads to chaos at the end of the day.

    For more discussions of that samey stuff (referencing outdated info already happened now, so we're not in the realm of 1.6.5 even) about your preferences in handling please try this thread, so this one here does not get hijacked by banging on the same topic in circles over 3 pages. Thanks!

    General Chit-Chat

    EDIT: There is also a thread for physics discussion:

    So of the few car classes I have tried that have had tweaks to the tires, the GTE's seem the best by far. A much greater level of grip transitions can be felt with all the cars in this class vs others.

    I am interested to know why this might be and if this level of feel can be obtained in other classes?

    My guess would be that its not necessarily about the tires alone, but something else about the GTE's that allows a greater feel for the levels of grip that somehow the other classes don't translate as well.

    I happily drive anything that looks and sounds like a race car

    Please continue here for further physics discussion, the post has been moved and i ask everyone to follow up there:

    Physic discussion thread

    These long walls of text start to fill up this thread and don't really add much to the updates discussion.

    Btw.: You state your disliking in a very stylistic manner with a lot of attitude, this feedback isn't really what i'd call being made in good faith, unless you think the "LOL" and constant caps emphasis does it any favour. I'm sure you'd reach more people by toning that down a little.

    I'd like to share my opinion on the road effect, or the new shader. At least in VR, it now feels like the track is wet, even when it's not. I think it's due to reflections or specular light not sure exactly. I do like that we can see a "line" more clearly, but it still needs a bit of tweaking to give a more correct impression. (before was better in a "immersion perspective", now something looks off)

    It's on the list to be addressed for the upcoming hotfix

    I don't think it has been mentioned yet, so nothing missed :)
    The feature needs more time in the oven!
