We asked for feedback and you delivered. You asked us to listen, and today we’re delivering. Since launch, the dev team has worked hard to collate and address the community’s requests and tomorrow, Wed 6th, we’ll set live Update 1.3, our biggest QoL patch to date. The patch notes are below and this marks the first of two planned updates, with the second targeting early April, which will tackle vehicle physics, optimisation and graphics, and many other areas.
