    You can choose to turn off the yellow (non skinned cars) and have them spawn with the full skin, but the reason they do that is if you do allow them to spawn fully skined it may (usually does) cause a small freeze everytime a new car joins/spawns in the the server.

    Also track loading times have got alot quicker over the last year, which makes getting into the server pretty quick, however it still does take a while for all the cars to load, granted.

    This is something both RF2 and AMS2 have in common, Reiza are in the process of fixing this bug in AMS2, but I have to say i've never actually run into this problem in RF2, did'nt realise it was a thing

    Hadn't played rf2 in awhile, logged in and bought the q4 pack and jumped in to VR. The flickering was making me feel sick. Thought it was my PC so I'm happy to find out it wasn't and is fixed.

    Any plans to allow moving the brake bias backwards on BTCC RWDs?

    Just tested and unfortunately it does'nt seem to have fixed the Croft pit exit issue, but I know they are aware of it, so hopefully a fix for that to soon

    I know its scary right, cause the first time you see it it does seem like a hardware failure rather than software so first time I saw it it scared the hell outta me, I love my Pimax! So glad its fixed!

    I must admit, it would be great if having custom skins disabled reverted to a random default skin rather than a yellow banana. Hopefully easy to do.

    Ok so this is'nt fixed, yet. What is fecking fantastic though is that it has fixed a bit of a hole in the track limits system at Croft that allowed me to make an illegal overtake at the complex just before the harpin, without getting a penalty or being instructed to give the place back! (just tested it twice, its definately fixed!) Bravo S397! This track limits system is the best i've seen in any sim!

    The Brownish/Dark Orange UI is long DEAD. The Blue/Red/Grey Web UI is DEAD. ONLY the current UI will receive updates til there are no more updates or they change this version. The previous UI's will work, but will not be fully compatible with most of the recent graphic, physics and sound advances. Your best bet, if you insist on running the old UI, would be to choose the old ISI cars that have not been updated and older 3rd party tracks.
