Perhaps a season of these sometime in the future?

OK, I think the FFB feels a lot better when you reduce your "Road" FFB below 20 or 30 and you enable the Gyro effect in the .ini

I haven't tried this yet but since the latest update best to turn all the ffb effects off, you get feel off the surface and kerbs with it off so worth giving it a try. The Gyro feels real good on most cars but some it has issues with where it kind of deadens the feel all round, this car was always fun in RF2 so be interesting to see how an AC mod works.

Kunos really should look into a reanault licence as they have quite a few good race classes that would be a welcome addition.

I sincerely believe this will be official content soon enough. A season in these would be great. They are lively to drive. I think it's already been mentioned in the future ideas bucket.

After advice from Marty I set my FFB effects off ie to zero and got much improved feel. Still feel the curbs and bumps but now much more realistic since no longer "canned" effects. I assume Kunos simulate the bump through the tires, suspension arms etc rather than artificially generating the effect at the steering wheel.

Tried this car last night, lots of fun, but I'm always a bit over eager to put the throttle down and send the thing spinning.

With my FFB settings that I found off some YouTube video it didn't feel great, so I used the ones that are recommended in the download and it felt loads better.

I'm not sure Kunos would prioritise their funding of the licence for the whole racing series though.  If it was F1 or a multi-make series they could just licence a single car from one team like iRacing did with their BMW F1 car, but I don't know how this would work when the whole series are racing the "same" car.

Be great if they did.

Anyone had AC stalling on start up, loading ' favourites ' with this mid?

Just make sure it's unzipped in the right locations.   The way they have packaged it is silly - I had to manually select the different files and unzip rather than doing it all into one folder.

They may have changed that now though.

When I downloaded & installed it last night  (from racedepartment) it was all in a single "content" folder within the zip file

Couldn't get any easier than that so perhaps they've changed it so you got it.

Maybe it was 7zip.  It was placing the folders separately into each corresponding AC folder, instead of following the file path - so effectively creating a copy of the content and fonts folders, etc. in AC's contents and font's folders.
