FM Update 9.0 Overview - Sebring, Porsche, and Endurance Month| 10 June 2024

Yup. I’m still waiting for a single big feature.

So far the biggest change to the game has been the ability to change the tire wear multiplier. (but only for free play lmao)

I think the top things I want based on irritation are;
-STATS
-Join friends already in a lobby
-Make player skill and safety rating public in the lobby
-Show tire compound/PIT in leaderboard (You can only see how many times a player pitted on the MINI-Leaderboard)
-SPECTATOR MODE
-Auto-save last 5 replays (delete older ones unless saved manually)
-Free float camera in replay

There are MANY others, but these are the biggest.

Good list - I’d probably add sort out tune/design capacity issues as a fairly big priority as well.

That wouldn’t really be something new, just a number adjustment (If they had just let us save everything locally, this wouldn’t even be an issue.)

Endurance racing… So I guess Sebring gets recycled this month. I hope T10 uses this opportunity to introduce at least one new LMDh car and make further improvements to AI, especially in terms of overtaking.

Probably because its another layout for Suzuka… Are they going to use the Motorcycle layout?

:stuck_out_tongue:

If the track for this couple of months is removing a couple of barriers on Suzuka, I’m rioting.

I don’t know about stamina but our patience has certainly being “pushed to the limit”.
Lack of meaningful new content, recycled old cars, RT bugs, broken menus, bad or wrong engine sounds (eg Ford GT 2016, McLaren P1 and a lot others).

I still see the main menu spotlight car reflections and liveries being choppily rendered on the car every time I launch the game on SX. Like a beta release.

True. I was actually going to put provide a way we can easily see our tunes and also a better search mechanism for other peoples but then got distracted by the more fundamental lack of tune space!

Other logos have high quality, right?

I’m pretty sure everybody would riot. I was being facetious when I wrote that.

But something I would like to see would be alternative routes added to the game, during the months where there is no DLC track. This update we are getting Seb12ing, and next month, Turn 10 adds the fast chicane as an option to Nürburgring GP, or Mid Ohio’s bus-stop chicanes to the long route as an option.

Yes.

So nobody else hoping for the Nordschleife being included in MP? Cuz I do :smiling_face_with_tear:

That sure would be nice. Because I do want those Suzuka alternate routes, but that’s not bimontlhy big track update material.

Agreed. I’d like them to appear whenever they are completed… But if they wanted to drip feed more things, it wouldn’t be against their M.O. Just sayin.

I think I lucked up (again). This is what I see. Maybe it’s there and I don’t notice…

From a quick session to gather these pics. These are all 5836 x 1080 (bezel corrected triple screen)…





Didn’t get the behind car far view. I didn’t vignette it while I had it up, so I didn’t bother getting a grab.

2 mins to go - hope they can impress

9th update finally brings some Motorsport to game… It’s good but sad.

‪Why isn’t the endurance tour added to the career permanently? Come on, guys.‬

Temporarily adding features the community is asking for surely doesn’t count as listening. What a shame.

Every month I look forward to these updates and every month I’m left feeling a little bit disappointed. I really want my favourite racing series to do better.

Temporary endurance event, nice.

Free FOMO DLC, nice.

at least the practice time is shorter.
