Le Mans Ultimate: rilasciata la Patch 3

Studio 397 ha rilasciato la terza patch per Le Mans Ultimate, tramite la quale continua l'opera di ottimizzazione e bug-fixing del simulatore dedicato al mondiale endurance.

Come di consueto il team approfitta della patch anche per apportare modifiche al BoP delle varie vetture: in classe GTE si segnala infatti un incremento di 20 kg per Corvette, Porsche e Ferrari (solo Le Mans, negli altri tracciati ben 25 kg). In classe Hypercar invece abbiamo 10 kg per Ferrari, Porsche e Toyota, e una riduzione di 2.5 kg per Peugeot. Il team ha agito anche sui consumi delle varie LMH, aumentando del 12% il consumo di carburante della Vanwall, del 24% quello di Cadillac e Glickenhaus, 25% per Peugeot, 32% per Porsche, 33% per Toyota e 35% per Ferrari.

Ecco di seguito il changelog completo:
