6. Physics Simulation Model

(*2) For these cars, it is no longer possible to use the full “Manual Transmission” mode when using an H-pattern shifter and clutch pedal controller.

– The simulation of gear changes on cars with manual transmissions has been updated:

• The time required to perform gear shifts with a paddle shift when the transmission is set to [Manual] has been reduced;
• When quickly changing gears in full “Manual Transmission” mode, mis-shifting will occur less frequently.

– It is now more difficult to accelerate when in “N” gear if certain inputs are entered.

Other Improvements and Adjustments

– The penalty judgment algorithm related to shortcuts has been updated.

– Fixed an issue on rolling starts, where certain cars would drive onto the kerb and perform a wheelie.

– Fixed an issue on the Fanatec® Wheel Base, where the analogue sticks (on compatible wheel rims only) would not function if the Wheel Base was not updated to the latest firmware.

– Various other issues have been addressed.
