    This was only possible because of the "major" update though, that's important to remember - each step builds on another and the process becomes less and less draggy.

    I use Quest 3 with cable and Quest Link (no Steam VR) in the launch settings I set Oculus VR as I used yesterday, but today when I launch the game from Steam it remains on the PC desktop and it is not visible in the visor, for example I tried setting Cora and it works

    AMS 2, because Reiza tries to use real cars as their inspiration and not other sims :p

    The reference is real life, the results over the landscape of simulators are all converging towards a similar direction for that reason, not because of chasing other titles :)

    It's live now, in case you don't see the update, please restart steam client once - it should say 1.6.8.6.3085.AVX in the bottom lefthand corner of your main menu screen.

    Since this update the GT2 2005 Porsche 996 has disappeared, only shows the Milano? Also, GT1 2005 series not there? :(
    ....just seen they are DLC but the new website doesn't show this?

    Not really, but I’ll give it a try.
    I’ve been driving mostly the Audi R8 (Endu 2005) at the modern Hockenheimring.
    After a few hours using Default+ (just to get a feel for it), I went back in time and randomly landed on my FullFFB v16, which feels more stable (Default+ tends to oscillate a bit on my R12) and provides better oversteer feedback.

    This car, along with some others, doesn’t have that “wrong feeling” when rotating (like the Oreca does, for instance).

    I decided the Milano was the right choice to learn Londrina Short... now that was an experience learning T1 and the start of the last sector on the brakes :D

    Also I was thinking of this since launch and finally got round to it ;)

    I must say I have thought this for a couple of years. I thought I was the only one...

    Just tried it, yes this minor adjustment with 1.6.8.6 was another great update to them. The Porsche doesn't feel as loose anymore while still mainting it's agility. They kind of feel closer to how the GTEs feel in good way. And the FFB seem to be on par with other cars again, I felt it was a bit light with 1.6.8.5 and increased gain on the cars to 115%, now 100% is fine again. It's hard to describe what changed between 1.6.8.5 and 1.6.8.6 but it feels like understeer is slightly more contrallable while increasing this great feeling how the tires bite into the ground when stepping on the throttle.

    It seems the new DLC as been very well received. My question is can we expect to see the 2005 endurance content expanded? Or will the next historic endurance pack be another era?

    Hello to all,
    To Reiza's folks i wonder one thing : for modern Spa , it will be possible to have the endurance pit lane ? Or it's more difficult than it's look ?
