    Quite enjoying my free Milano and the GT2 class. Had a teriffic race at Mosport until it began raining. ( Light rain, which comes and goes) AI seemed to have a lot easier time on the wets, but I will try again and see. In the dry, it's great fun.

    You might also try to tweak AI wet skill slider on options and try again, it’s fun (and sometimes terrifying fun) to race then on the wet when it’s balanced .

    Great, now if we do get a random Christmas DLC that contains anything other than driveable cheese wheels/wedges, I'm going to be super disappointed.

    I'm waiting for a discount. I haven't bought the last three dlc. How about you?

    Awesome! Great to see Automobilista 2 getting another update. The devs are doing a solid job keeping the game polished. I’m excited to see what changes and improvements came with V1.6.8.6.

    There are two issues with the change ,

    1. I now don't know what setup is for what track as I relied on the track sorting, because of 2

    2. The description fields are too short especially now if you have to include a track descriptor.

    Some notice of the change would have been nice as I now don't know which setup is for which track

    Automobilista 2 V1.6.8.5 was solid, and now with the V1.6.8.6 update, it’s even smoother. Love how they keep refining it. Feels like how Ford dealership CT keeps up with new models and updates to stay ahead.

    yeah, if your existing setups didnt have the track name somewhere in description or name then you may not identify, however the description field has 80 chars limit which should be enough for adding a track name or other relevant info to identify what the setup is for.

    How long has it had an 80 character limit? I can't usually type more than about 15 to 20 in the description field

    I have noted that in the recent updates the BMW M4 GT3 has had a change to the rev leds and there are no rev leds at all in 6th gear even when bouncing off the rev limiter, anyone know if that is a bug?

    That's how it works in real life - you can see the same for 992 GT3-R and 963 aswell. There will be/are updates to that.

    The 963 has LEDs, while the 992's 6th gear doesn't. Why would different manufacturers independently adopt this kind of solution?

    This is a relatively recent feature. I haven't had time to apply it to all the affected vehicles yet, as I've had other, much more urgent things to do first

    @gian is referring to the description, not the setup Name. You can find that element in quick setup screen (that one here, description has higher character limit)

    Currently the Audi R8 seems to be slower, has a smaller fuel tank and higher fuel consumption. Where's Vorsprung durch Technik?

    Edit: Can you fix the fuel consumption and make it the most efficient so it can shine in longer races?
