IMPROVED PHYSICS

First and foremost, let’s talk about the enhanced physics engine. As for the PC version, it introduces a wider pressure range and temperature operation window, revolutionizing the way you interact with your vehicle. Lower pressures grant you increased traction and flexibility, while higher pressures provide impeccable precision and lateral support. The freedom to choose the perfect pressure for any situation gives you a dynamic and customizable driving experience like never before.

The suspension system has undergone significant updates, resulting in better mechanical grip, predictable handling, reduced heat stress on tires, and a more stable aerodynamic balance. You’ll feel the difference as your car glides through corners with finesse and stability. Just remember to find the sweet spot to avoid any surprises on challenging tracks like Monza.

Hold onto your seats because the improvements don’t stop there! The core tire model has been fine-tuned, optimizing realignment torque, sidewall damping, and flexibility. These advancements have a profound impact on the Force Feedback, immersing you completely in the racing action. Every bump, curve, and maneuver will be faithfully transmitted through your steering wheel, making you feel like you’re truly in the driver’s seat.

And let’s not forget about the updated TC logic in modern cars! It grants you greater control over tire slippage, ensuring a perfect balance between speed and grip. However, be cautious during acceleration to avoid excessive wear on your tires. After all, tire management is key to maintaining optimal performance throughout the race.

For those seeking ultimate mastery, we have a special treat for you! The Physics Notes PDF provides an in-depth exploration of KUNOS Simulazioni’s groundbreaking improvements. Delve into the details, analyze older setups, and make the necessary adjustments to conquer any challenge that comes your way.
