    Was it really necessary to eliminate the two solitary 3d trees? :(

    AI is also still very weird, with full on stops at turns for absolutely no reason...

    Just ran two sessions totalling about a 1/2 hr with a mix of Dpi/LMP2/GTE/GT3. 26 AI cars...I did not see any extreme braking or on-track stops.. all practice sessions tho with the cars scattered fairly evenly around the circuit.

    Tried two levels of graphics. 1st my usual settings that gets about 100 fps avg. at the 12hr Sebring. Lots of medium settings. Then for the 2nd session I pushed the first four graphic sliders to full. Full track detail, full player detail, full opponent detail etc.

    The lower graphic settings showed on my vidcard overlay as needing almost exactly 6GB of Vram @ 100fps(around the hotel hairpin)
    Next with the full/max graphics I lost about 15% fps while the Vram usage exploded to 7.8GB

    Fortunately, I have an old RX 480 with 8GB of Vram so I did not experience any texture loading stutters. I would encourage users with video cars of 6GB or less to restrain from using the HIGH/FULL track detail settings...or use the 2nd 12hr layout without all the trackside detail.

    This track with the GTPC Porsche 934/5 = mind blown. The combination of the track surface and the way that car handles, you really have to drive it like it where real life. The level of immersion is amazing.

    Raced the GTE class for two weekends of practice/qualy/race and each time early in each session FFB seem to go numb entering turn 1 through going into turn 3. Seemed to clear up as each session progressed.
    One weekend was time x10, the other was normal progression.

    It looks good (especially at night), but during the day I find it too bright overall

    Looking great! Sebring is one of the treasures of rF2.

    Ran a mixed DPi and GTE field for 25 min. About 80% of the GTE cars ran out of fuel on the last lap. Other than that brilliant racing, as expected.

    Is it just me or did the exhaust flames change for the much better recently? I haven’t seen any mention of that.

    The one peek I got yesterday had a blue backfire on the Lige... Back when the URD Nissan LMP1 came out, I was HOPING for a big blue flame to belch out of both pipes(located in front of windscreen on the bonnet/hood). But it was rather insignificant...

    The trees are the weakest part of this new version, they look so flat and lifeless.

    I see the night lighting has changed a lot too. It feels darker and more realistic, but I preferred the previous versions appearance at night.

    The lights themselves up on the poles have made a huge advance. Prior to this, the light bulb seemed to appear shortly before you arrived and almost look hand drawn with a non-natural flare. Now the lights truly do look like bright, powerful lights that can be seen all across the circuit. I am glad you posted because I had forgotten to actually look at the night driving. Thumbs up from me.

    Does look good during the day and rain but performance is hard on my system. Need to work out new settings I think.

    Thank you very much !!!!
    Sebring was my first paid track bought, it's the track for me which has taken me into rF2.
    I have not tested it, I wait, I wait, like a long masturbation for a huge load.
    I would like being a beta tester....
