CTDP, one of the top modding groups for rFactor, decided to migrate over to Assetto Corsa for their latest mod, International Formula Master 2009 (IFM09). The initial release was plagued with some issues, so CTDP has released a quick update, to remedy some of the problems.

The IFM09 mod, upon first release, had one significant issue that made the car very difficult to drive: only 180 degrees of steering lock. Back in the day, in ISIMotor2-era sims (rFactor, GTR2), many ran a small steering lock (i.e. 270 degrees), so developers made cars that used that best. I don’t know if that was the case for this mod, that old habits die hard, but CTDP has done a quick job fixing it.

Some other adjustments were made to elements of the car, such as the tires, drivetrain, and engine, to make the car as authentic as possible. I will say that CTDP did a great job fixing the issues the car had. The car now feels a lot more believable and enjoyable. For the full list of fixes in the 1.1 release, check out the changelog at this link, or read below.
