    The latest builds of S397 have undeniably brought improvements in graphics for both tracks and cars. Have you noticed that now the headlights are reflected on a wet track? Same thing for the tail lights. This is a great progress even if it is not yet perfect and does not reach actually the level of Pcars2 or AMS2. There are also incomprehensible things: in fact, the last creation of S397, the Ferrari 488GTE doesn't have these effects unlike all the other GTE and P2 cars.
    For the GT3, only the mercedes and the MacLaren 720S have these effects (I haven't tested them all). Does this mean that S397 is still in full development on this point? It would be very interesting to have their opinion on the subject.
    Here, some examples:

    I think you mis-read that, the changes affect both UI, except the last one which is finally vehicle & track descriptions in the new UI.

    Thank you, I assume admins will need to update their dedicated servers?

    They've updated all the cars
    Obviously you have to update the servers

    I think that he is referring to the rF2 server, not the content.
    I don't think so, because the build number is the same and Christopher hasn't said anything

    I posted this in the Technical & Support section previously but now that there has been a new build update just wanted to mention it again. In the new UI the graph showing rpm/speed on the Gears page in the Setup menu is gone(its still in the old UI).

    The graph is very useful when setting up cars for different tracks. Without the graph showing what effects the changes you make have on gear lengths and top speeds etc. you have to go out on track and watch the dash/tach while you drive to find out.

    Was this intentionally removed or just something that happened with one of the latest builds and will be added back in?

    Thanks and cheers to all the great work Studio 397 is doing!

    Well, Christopher edited the first post with the latest build number, that's why I think it's the same. In the past they've specifically asked for admins to update.
