• Updated tyre grip calculations on rubbered in areas when surfaces are wet.

• Updated how road and rain conditions are reported. Old percentage values now snap to a set percent for each tyre of condition, masking the true absolute condition in the game. The Default HUD has been updated to show a text description.

• Fixed various issues around AI Tyre Selection when session changes and weather changes – such as not switching to wet tyres when it was dry before but now is wet.

• Fixed an issue with calculating road conditions when changing session where they would not fully compute.

• Fixed an issue where cars that don’t allow pit stop refuelling would run a full tank in practice and qualifying.

购买建议：喜欢Q2，钱够的内容的直接买大包 ￥221 https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/365960/detail/1017/

只想BTCC内容的，车+赛道包￥170 https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/365960/detail/1019/

只想花最少钱参加联赛的，两个车的车包：￥63 https://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/365960/detail/1018/

购买建议2：因为后续还有更多的BTCC赛道和赛车补全，到时候肯定会继续打大包，如果真的不急又不想比赛，可以等一年后究极大包出来并且打折时候购买

如果想要比赛，又不想亏太多，先买两个车包，剩下出啥都别买，等全出完大包打折时候补全，早买早享受了一年的联赛，又不会因为一直补新的亏太多

397的策略是打小包，早买早享受，出完晚买有打包（）

之前都介绍过了，就不细说了

总结：汉化过两天搞，更新东西不少加了不少东西。虽然Motorsports Games股票狂跌，虽然外网一片唱衰，虽然说MSG丢了BTCC和Indy授权，但是它们都还给到了rF2，说明丢授权是无稽之谈，但是NASCAR 21的失败给MSG带来了沉重打击，去年买了一堆工作室钱花太多今年可能十分拮据，而且部分开发组在俄罗斯也雪上加霜。。。

但是反观rF2，今年从新新UI开始，到这个版本包含物理画面等更新，在包括BTCC indy等授权内容（虽然包确实挺贵的。。。（没比iR便宜多少 说实话），但是质量还是不错的，希望还是能玩起来来值回票价）
