ACF1 Car Update

Version 2.8 is here! It includes new 2015 liveries, helmets, suits and gloves. The suspension has also been adjusted to produce softer and more predictable handling, and your tyres can now grain when too cold / blister when too hot.

Existing car setups will work, but I suggest you check out the new default setup as a starting point regarding dampers and suspension settings.

Highlights are here!

Since the recent AC updates have made our car somewhat more difficult to drive, here are a few set-up tips:

• Reduce the rear suspension wheel rate and/or increase it at the front
• Increase the fast bump damping settings
• Increase the differential coast setting if you often lose the rear of the car when turning in.

If you have issues with the steering behaviour, I’ve found that tweaking your FFB settings can help.
