FM3 Update... what has it done?

[sparks_E39]

Apart from getting the auction menus loading quicker, what else have they done?

[sparks_E39]

Just noticed we now have in car gear change animation :-)

[North West Tom]

Yep, but it is very slow imo. I'm in the next gear accelerating before the driver's touch the gear stick!

[Munter]

I thought the menus were quicker...but you can never really tell with those things.

Oh and I seem to be able to drive better.... That might just be me having a good day though!

True, but its better than no gear change animation at all. For a 2009 game it was rather odd that it was initially left out.

I found the menus and that running very slowly. didn't notice gearshifts as I was driving my horrible range rover and concentrating on keeping it shiny side up

[Maty]

Yeah I thought it was strange not having the gear change, if your going to do a car game with interior views then surely this is blatantly obvious!

[WildCards]

All known glitches fixed, gearchange and handbrake animation added and some extra online games and hoppers I beleive.

No removal of the Storefront Cap tho...

[Altrezia]

Are all the dashes fixed? I guess not going by the post above. That was the only bug that really annoyed me. Driving a Mclaren F1 without a dash is frustrating.

I tried the Davidoff F1 GTR and the Loctite F1 GTR last night, both had working LCD displays.

They apparently have no plans for this.

There's a new online game mode type thing called "playground" or something similar.

It has variations of A class races and a "keep the IT" mode, 'tis good fun!

It wasn't left out. Well okay it was. If you had a hatchback or something and went to outside car view, you could see the fella change gear, but when you were in cockpit view there was no animation. So the animation was obviously there they just didn't include it in cockpit view. That seems to have changed now.

It is funny seeing the fella change a manual gearbox on a reventon though.
