Dear customers,
We are currently focussing on some netcode issues in order to improve the multiplayer experience of netKar PRO. Thanks to a new beta testing team, specialising in online racing, testing of the software is taking place under various conditions, to allow us to recognise the areas where the software needs to be improved. The beta testing of the next patch has been underway for some time now, so our aim is to release it within few weeks. The package will also include a new installation program and the documentation needed to use netKar PRO at its best. More updates will follow, our aim is to improve not only the multiplayer experience but the single player mode too, with new content and an official track editor, that will be released for free soon, this will allow you to create your own customized tracks. I suspect there's a few people who have a bit more intimate knowledge of this but it sounds like things are progressing  |

Sounds like someone's been on an arse kicking rampage to me  But, good news is good news. Now, let's hope they deliver on it. |

This is, there was never any real problem with the netcode, not in compirsson to GTR and it was pretty much rF good, which has only recently become something that just works. I get also worried when developers talk about documentation in releases particularly when it's "needed to use netKar pro". Surely effort should go into making sure documentation _is_not_needed_. Anyway if buts are solved I'll be happy, actually I'm not unhappy currently with the product, it just needs a bit of love |

In ASS (as it were) Picnic. No patch news but BRD and NK partnership sounds positive, however neither has a great track record of meeting deadlines |

I've just installed it myself, so might go do some testing in a bit.

Right, that should put a stop to all this GTR2 nonsense This patch may be considered "minor" but it does make online racing fantastically smooth now (as it should have been from start). More sexy things are planned for next update which will hopefully arrive soon. Its getting there Edam, love to see you racing at GPC. |

Cant wait to get home and download this, and Bullrun for rFactor, and my Alfa Romeo series race, and practice in my Lambo at Valencia.
Hope my son has recovered or I am in trouble tonight, too little time.
Really hope this patch stuffs it up all those who have moaned recently about the delay and lack of info.

No, the physics have changed slightly and the multiplayer has been tidied up but the gui remains the same. Why? Do you want to buy your licence back? You see unfriendly but I see functional and, I'm told, realism. Each to their own  . |

Yes, reality can be quite unfriendly too. |

Doesn't sound like it's improved in the ways I was looking for. Thanks for the info.
