    I think you're reading too much into the situation, and what other people are saying.

    The devs are working on LMU. There have never been very many devs, and obviously rF2 isn't a great money earner (despite the DLC; and I seriously question the "for a game of 2012" statement, given how much core development there has been since then), so putting basically all resources into that to try and make it a success, and make some money, is a great idea. Especially for MSG, more than rF2 itself.

    There's been no indication work has stopped forever on rF2, in fact any statements have been the opposite. The team in charge of running and finetuning the online system are active, making changes, fixing bugs.

    Your comments on vehicle issues, like steering ratios, can be added to a very long list of wants, and a very long list of lingering long-term issues. It's been part of playing rF2. That doesn't make it ok, but it won't change magically in 3 months either - even when the devs do come back. That's just how it is, there's no point complaining too much about it because it won't help. We aren't part of the company, we can't dictate focus, and we can't see the whole picture from their point of view anyway. It's in their interest to make a successful product, so they'll do what they think is right to do that.

    Hi, Question on skinning the car

    992 Cup seems to have a possible variant ? on Genstring line in "xxxx.VEH" file

    i would guess it could be on Rims color (silver or black) ?

    it was present on 991 cup

    or Tire side marking manufacturer (Michelin, Pirelli .....)?
    or other thing ?
    maybe a teamplate ?

    endurance kit ? as the older 991 cup but fuel tank is already 110 liters other brakes pads settings ?
    are there any other variable ?

    if yes, what are they ?
    let us know
    thanks

    This is an advance notice of a further update to the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup tomorrow afternoon around 2pm UK time. This is due to an issue with the previously released fix.

    Fixed display classes so PCC Cup GB and PCC Cup teams are in the same class.

    working on 992 cup file
    i have seen that old naming of 991 cup was use in 992 cup upgrade file

    file: Porsche_992GT3Cup_Upgrades.ini
    content:
    could it be rename 991 by 992 ? does it need a lot of work ?
    and
    i wish the class override could be "992 Cup"

    better than 911 cup, it does not give the model

    for 991 cup it was wrong too//not perfect too (//DisplayClassOverride="GT3 Cup")
    991cup could be a better too

    It's beyond me why this great car doesn't have ANY slipstream effect. I don't know what the idea is, but it completely kills the racing joy when you cannot even get closer to anyone in the slipstream on a long straight. Please fix it, this is unbeliavable!

    Have you spent 5 minutes watching a Porsche Cup race?
    It’s all in the pedals and tyre management.

    Yes, i've saw several Porsche Cup races, nothing related to what i said! It's true that this car is "special" when it comes to driving, but the SS effect is non-existant!

    There's barely any slipstream on the real cars too. Sadly.
    And in rF2 when you are in someones slipstream and your car is naturally aspirated, there's a reduced pressure to your manifold thus reducing your engine power. I doubt it's even noticeable but you do lose power.

    Makes sense and we've noticed that too, the car on the ss seems to lose distance, very subtle, but it's noticeable...
