News Improved Portugal International track v2.0 released for rFactor 2

Image Space Incorporated (ISI) have released version 2.0 of the Portugal International (Estoril) track. The original track was inundated with performance issues which the new v 2.0 track addresses.

Amongst the many, many updates (see below) the new track benefits from smoothed out bumps, a new terrain shader, new textures, new loading screens and new and updated cameras.

You can download the updated version of the Portugal International track here, and you can take a look at all the improvements in the so-called condensed changelog below along with a gameplay video that shows off the updated track and even some rather nice looking screenshots further below.
