Change Logs ‐ 2727
This document displays all changes contained in build 2727 compared to the previous public build 2711.
Warning
This document is a work in progress.
The performance of every single car available in the car lot has been updated:
- Complete powertrain overhaul (engine, induction, transmission) to normalise the power output of all cars and reduce the acceleration & top speed advantage of manual transmission from ~15% to ~1.5%.
- The handling characteristics of all cars were fully or partially changed. The exaggerated class differences from vanilla are now gone, instead cars behave as you would expect.
- Inspiration and data was taken from the real cars where applicable, however performance is not realistic in any way apart from minor details like gear ratios and tire size.
Changes are listed compared to 2711, then vanilla.
Nearly all tier 1 cars had tier 2 handling in 2711. This has been corrected and handling now matches the pace of the lowest tier.
