    Was it just my extreme fatigue last night, or does the MS7 (at least) have properly animated suspension now?

    MS7?

    The release notes did say that they had worked on suspension graphics so it might be the case.

    So half of you have improved FFB and the other half have worse FFB... I guess my impression that it hasn't changed much or at all could be very accurate! ;)
     
  5. Indeed ALT+TAB is working like a charm now and it's a must!
    @Marc Collins: +1 here ;)

    I don't know any Matra F3 cars, but the Matra F2 car was called the MS5 (the one the Eve is based on), which is what the Eve F3 car is called. The MS7 is the Eve F2 car. :)


    Haven't had a chance to look again, but I believe so. :)

    From engine capacity (998 cm3) you can guess its an F3 car too.

    anybody who knows more about this?

    I'm not sure about the MS6 (might be the same as MS5 in terms of category) but it seems the MS5 was used in both F3 and F2. I guess just a different engine configuration then?

    Visually the two are nearly identical from what I'm seeing.

    May be, may subtle changes too.
    As the photos come from Matra's museum and drawing looks official, they should be valid. (far from an expert here tho)

    Its hard for me to distinguish exactly which is in the game as I dont know yet (blush) how to look the outside of the car in rf2.

    Settings, Controller, Camera and set a hotkey for driving cameras. Then you can change your view when you need to. :)

    And thanks for the tech sheets and photo, very informative.

    I don't know if this is difference from MS5-MS6, or just F2 to F3, but one has the exhaust on the left side coming out the side of the engine cowl, one has it under the engine cowl. I presume that's an engine size thing (smaller F3 engine, larger F2 engine doesn't allow enough space for the exhaust pipe to fit under the bodywork). The F3s also have narrower tires I believe.

    The HDR is much, much better in 101 compared to 90. That was the main thing I noticed anyway.
