GamerMuscle takes a look at the rFactor 2 Karts

Two days ago Image Space Incorporated released V1.14 of their Kart content for rFactor 2.  With this update ISI enabled the new contact patch model for the kart tires.

GamerMuscle takes the rFactor 2 karts for a spin to compare the new tire model to the original version. The video also shows us the updated shaders, updated textures and 3D fixes the development team implemented in the last update.

ISI ststed that the contact patch model is not yet fully complete. It is still lacking some lateral and longitudinal variability due to temperature / pressure and the lat/long deflections are still slightly over-sensitive under extreme conditions when the contact patch is extremely small. The vertical deflections are considered accurate. ISI will release some more details soon.
