I'm starting to think the mods are trying to shuffle off all negative comments into one thread so it doesn't look so bad. Forum looks less dissatisfied, the actual complaining looks like an incoherent mess. Assuming they don't read as far as the complaining about the thread merging. Very common with indie devs.
I don't see any other logical explanation for it.
Made it bloody impossible for us to understand the new physics, and find workarounds for bugs or things we don't like. Just irritating your existing customers.
I do really like the increased performance, better graphics, I even like the UI now that I'm more used to it. The wheel physics aren't so bad that I understand them better, but they're still kinda buggy (on T1 everything slides sideways at 0.1m/s, steerable gear clips through the ground often). I would had figured them out a lot faster were there a thread called "new wheel physics" that wasn't stuffed into this one.
