14/12/2015 Update

So, what was this game update for? I’ve just had it too. Does anybody actually know?

It helps to read (1) other posts in this thread before asking, (2) the Week In Review or (3) consult the FM6 Support forum: http://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst52868_Today-s-Content-Update-12-15-15.aspx

Geez, bah humbug snowy, I read the posts but they don’t exactly shed much light on it. One says the WIR didn’t mention anything about an update for some crash fix which I’ve never encountered myself and it didn’t say that this update WAS for that. Then it goes off on a tangent about xbox updates and other random issues.

That’s only why I asked. Whose ruffled tha feathers?

That post was wrong. If you read the WIR it does mention that an update was coming.

Other than actual PC/Server programs (like Outlook, Word, or an OS, I haven’t seen but one game producer which calls their content updates (not extra DLC) by version number. But you don’t see it in-game.

Here’s one for you:

So they say. LOL!

It was a layover. I’d gotten off one Star Wars flight a day or two before the update–just long enough to take the #55 BMW a half-dozen laps around Lime Rock–before boarding another. I did the same yesterday, nearly a week after the update.

What was immediately noticeable was just how anamorphic the visuals had become. It looked like my TV’s picture mode had been set to Wide or Zoom.

From the driver’s seat, the view was horrendous. My sense of peripheral vision was gone; I could no longer see the opposite side of the car. Coupled with the update’s obligatory seat adjustment (which obscured my view vertically), looking out the front window was like peering through the lens of a microscope.

It would have been better to keep the original same aspect ratio, apply a fisheye lens and if possible reduce the scale of the cars. Smaller cars in a big world is more realistic than the other way around, IMHO.
