ISI has released build 660 of rFactor 2, as well as a new demo. Replacing the Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT2 at Lime Rock Park is the Honda Civic BTCC Touring Car at Silverstone.
The latest update introduces some minor bug fixes and improvements to make the sim more stable. One notable improvement is that there is now a .plr file entry to enable texture sharpening by allowing mip lod bias adjustment. While that may seem like a minor change, it allows for a decent visual upgrade. Too see the full list of changes, you can take a look at the build notes below.
You can download the latest update here, and if you haven’t bought rF2, you can give the new demo a try. You excited to see more action on the rFactor 2 front? Let us know!
