When does the new patch come out, this week or next? My subscription has been lapsed for a couple of weeks now and I've basically been waiting until the impending 2.0 release to sign back up.

So the plan is to no longer release it on all cars right now? I'm not really surprised, since the NTM preview on the Nationwide car was essentially "delayed" for almost 2 months. Is it just coming out on the Skip Barber or other cars as well?
No, one of the staff said in the forum that some cars were ready while others still weren't quite there yet. The Class A Impala, Class B Impala and the Silverado are getting it on the oval side and the Acura LMP car, the Ford GT and the Skip Barber on the road side. Originally it was to be the Corvette instead of the Skip but they were further along with the tyre model in the Skip.blurredvision said:
They are going to release the NTM for each car as soon as it's available rather than wait until the end of season update.
I wasn't really holding my breath to get all the cars with the NTM in this update.

I wasn't either, actually. The NTM on the Skip Barber interests me way more than on the Corvette anyhow.
Just did a stock car race on Thompson Internationa Speedway. Started 4th, got up yo 2nd then took a knock and spun out. That dropped me down to 8th with a slightly damaged car. I decided not to pit and fought my way back up to 4th 
Is there a key to remove the interface when watching replays?

skippy over corvette for the NTM initial release, good shit! will be buying suzuka and the HPD ARX-01C for sure....feels good to be ultra rich to afford this "outrageously expensive" game that costs £45 a year sub with cars at £7 and tracks at £9!!!! lols
my upgrade should be here for thursday, absolutely can't wait tbh

Hope the skippy events return soon (for Class D). So tired of driving MX5s and Stock cars.
Did my first Formula Fun race this afternoon. 18 cars, 15 laps (I lasted 5) on Zandvoort. Thank god the Formula Fun races don't affect your ranking lol.
Didnt make any car contact but I CERTAINLY made wall contact on the 5th lap. Skipped across all the gravel hit the wall which flung me across the road into the other wall
I was having a really intense battle up until that point too

it cost me just over £210 as an upgrade, £382.50 for the 3 monitors delivered then i sold my old 120hz one for £170. total bargain imo, would of cost me around £540 to get another 2 benq's which was my old monitor
didn't even get chance to try iracing last night but it'll be getting hammered tonight
both 2D and 3DI hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it looks like today's update has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for another date.

This season just gone I ran the Truck series. Personally, I lean towards road racing but I had a lot of fun racing the Trucks and I picked up 4 wins during the season (Dover x2, Homestead and Michigan).Branson said:
I'm definitely going to be racing the Trucks again next season, probably with a road series just to mix it up a little and turn right.

Looks like the release notes will be out this evening at some point, then the update will happen in the morning.
blurredvision said:
Yup, Chris just updated stating that the update will happen on the 29th.
On a side note; today while waiting for the update I bought the Williams. Did a couple of practice runs on Zandvoort and participated in a race. All I am going to say is that this cas is a freaking blast. I kick myself for not getting into it earlier.
Season 3 Release Notes are out. I picked a few out from the massive page of updates

I read through the entire build notes and there's really not much there to be honest. Not really worthy of the "2.0" moniker if you ask me. If the NTM was releasing in all its glory, then sure, but even that still feels like it's in beta stage, with them saying they are releasing the Skippy NTM instead of the Corvette because it's "farther along".

I agree. Hearing that the new tyre model isn't available for all cars is disappointing.blurredvision said:
I did a couple of laps in the Skip on Lime Rock, you can definitely notice the difference. The force feedback is really accurate and sharp with not as much damping (although you can turn that up if you want) but it feels like it's easier to tell when you're about to lose traction and therefore can go into the corners with more confidence.

just got in from the pub and did a few laps with the skippy around suzuka. the car feels a lot more planted to me, like its actually on a road and not skating on ice. theres masses of understeer well at least while the tyres are cold anyway but the lift off oversteer is so much more controllable (as it should be)
have to do a lot more laps and some races of course though, just hotlapping for now, well maybe without the hot
performance is great, below resolution, maxed (except no 2 pass shadows), 4xmsaa, 2xsgssaa, 16xhqaf forced through nvidia cp, 130 fov and get like 90-120fps with no vsync just fps locked at 120 through game although that is of course with a single car on suzuka
oh yeah and you could say i'm enjoying it quite a lot haha

just ordered the newer nixim brake mod aswell, currently running a G25 with the old nixim mod (its pretty worn) and leo bodnar cable. those 2 mods transform the pedals completely for anyone wondering
but right now for me the G25 is just feeling old technology wise ( the wheel is like 4 years old anyway) with the money i saved on the monitors i actually have enough cash left set aside for a t500rs but with that new fanatec and the very real possibility of a new logitech soon, i'm kinda stuck in no mans land. i'm gonna reluctantly stick with this for now and see what the competition brings
few more impressions of the skippy around lime rock this time. this car was and still is my all time favourite sim car just for the fun factor it provides. The oversteer just seems so much more catchable, drifting turning left into that final right hander onto the pit straight has never been so much fun
edit: ok the NTM is really beginning to feel like a big upgrade for me on the skippy at least. just been lapping road atlanta and i'm not sure of the turn, maybe turn 6? which is a horrible left hander onto a straight with a gravel trap, the car just feels SO much better through there, it feels just like a car on road tyres should imo

I took the Skippy around Okayama for a few laps and it feels really, really good. I need to do some adjustments on my FFB due to the changes made there, but I'm pretty impressed. Spin-outs feel pretty different too, more realistic I guess, or at least what I'd imagine them to feel like, since I've never really spun out a car in real life before.
