Cool, ABS and TC is now a car setup option.

Just did a few laps in the new Porsche pack cars.

962 c Long and Short - now there's a new season for me.... great cars!
Alternatively, the 718 RS 60 has vastly less power but can be drifted and moves around a lot so plenty of fun there.
The 919 Hybrid,  ridiculous cornering ability.  You do Au Rouge at full throttle, and just drive it above what you think you can do.
911 GT1 - similar to 962 but requires a bit more to hang on to it.

Just keeps getting better . . :)

OK, see that now in some cars but now seem to have lost brake bias adjustment
Looks like this is car dependent,some cars have the power adjustment, others have bias adjustment, some have both

If the server could control turbo boost pressure the C9 & 962 Long-Tail could be compatible. :-\

That really should be in the setups also  :-\

It is in the setup now, under 'Electronics'.
So I guess you could do a 'fixed' setup, with only that fixed. ???

Oh I didn't realise - I think the only car I looked at the Electronics tab was a naturally asperated one. Cool :)

On the plus side AI is greatly improved with 15 cars able to negotiate Longford 67 without imploding.
On the negative side "front end float" and wander has increased greatly on some cars Porsche 917k for example
anybody else notice this? This was with default setup.

This what KS's Aristotelis said:

IMHO, the cars feel more agile, move around more, bounce a bit more, need more inputs to go where you want them (subtle though) while still maintaining stability. Sometimes, at least for me, you feel some very special moments.
For example, for very short wheelbase cars with very small inertia, it can happen that the car will go sideway on brake/turn in, and you can keep it on that angle by just countersteering while still braking. It's like a go-kart. You don't have to let go the brakes and go on the gas, you find a balance between countersteering and just modulating the braking and the car stays on that almost "wild" angle. Very go kart feeling, very cool, but you lose a lot of time.
Other example, now you can go over low kerbs and you can feel the car getting more nervous. It's not that "snap" feeling you had before that you knew something was about to go bad in the physics. You feel somehow the tyres vibrating and the body bouncing and you know you must stay very alert but still maintain control.
Finally, another thing I like, is how small inertia, especially mid engined cars rotate mid turn, especially when you go on gas. It's not a slide rotation, you don't really feel the tyres slide, like drifting, it's a proper low inertia rotation, completely different feel. At the same time, it keeps a good stability. When you lose it, it's more nervous than before and makes you waste more time. On some cars you need proper fast hands reaction, especially on re-aligning.
Last but not least, some good 180°-360° spins can happen in a more natural way. We always had this feeling that something was "slowing" a spin at around 90°. We believe this is gone now, except when you have specific aerodynamic features that might provoke it, like vertical fins.

Keep in mind, all of this is subtle, some people might not feel it, some people might think I'm hyping, some people might think the opposite... those are just my personal impressions. Most devs and beta testers seem to agree with me, but the placebo is strong amongst us :p :D
