Hey,  
Not sure if anyone keeps up with PT anymore (As i see in clan menu some have not played for a 100+ days ^^). I play when i feel like driving and thought i'd let you guys know about the new build PT has. Personally i think it's pretty good. Makes it a bit more realistic. Info about is below Hope you enjoy.
 
 
 
Fiona Patch Change Log And Release Notes!!
Here is a list of new features and fixes that are included in this update! Announcement end: Sun Jun 14, 2009 11:59 pm  
Hi everyone here is a quick list of the release notes for the Fiona patch going out today. I might miss a couple things but I can always update the post accordingly.  
 
-King of the hill for Crews: Crews can now compete with each other to take control of a specific game mode or individual tracks! (A leader is chosen based on total RP tax collected in a game mode by any of your crew members. So the more RP tax collected when you are in a mode the better your crews chances of becoming KOTH for that mode/track!)  
 
-Cobra Class 3 Fantasy car: Need I say more? Hehe this one should be coming very soon all. Maybe not today but very sooooooon in the week.  
 
-New maps to explore on!: One of the latest maps to all modes that will be released either with this update today or latter this week will be "Airport". Now you can burn rubber in a nice airporty atmosphere..... Don't get blind sided by a bowing jet though!  
 
-Join friend room feature: You will now be able to join a friends room and your friends join you when you create or they create a room! A window will slide in on the lower left portion of the screen and ask you if you would like to join the race room. Finding and racing with friends just got easier!  
 
-I7 fix: YEEEEESSS!!!! Those who suffered from this compatibility issue can now rejoice! You can now play PT with your I7 processor setups! Need I say more? Hehe  
 
-New Easy/Medium/Hard Missions!: There will now be 3 different levels of difficulty to try and complete in the "Missions" section. All have different prizes you can win as well! See if you can complete them all on hard! They definitely are fun to try and complete! *NOTE* Your missions will most likely reset if they were completed already. Please be aware of this*  
 
-Drift mode slight Physics adjustments: Some minor tweaks to the drift mode physics have been done with this update, it has a more sim style feel to it.  
 
-Arcade handling introduced to CTF,Explorer mode: Arcade handling has been added to these two modes in this update.  
 
-Reduced performance on certain Trunk items: Some trunk items have been issued a reduction in performance boosts. Lap time records will be reset due to this probably 2 or 3 different times to go with these changes. NO YOUR OLD ITEMS SHOULD NOT DISAPPEAR YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE UP WHAT YOU HAVE BUT CANNOT PURCHASE MORE FROM THE SHOP. THERE HOWEVER MAY BE A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME TO USE UP THESE ITEMS BEFORE WE COMPLETELY REMOVE THEM SO USE THEM NOW!  
 
-Mystery boxes in all game mode during game play: There will now be mystery boxes in all game modes that you will now see on the racing surfaces. These boxes will only be able to be seen by the player who it appears for. It happens at random as well so only that player will be able to see the box. Warning! If you scramble to get a box and cause an accident it is your responsibility to try and avoid this situation!  
 
-New Log in look and seamless servers: The log in has a updated new look to it and you no longer will need to chose a server when logging in. You can still pick a different server if you want to still. All you will need to hit exit from the main menu and then server selection option.  
 
-Menu Drop downs and drop downs when cursor is on a car: You will notice some drop down menu's in the main menu in the shop and when you place your cursor over most buttons, items, and players cars. You will see descriptions or a short message of whatever you have the cursor over. Also cars stats will display now in these drop down menu's.  
 
-Steering response option removed: This option has been removed completely. It was felt that it gave a unfair advantage to some players and created a false handling set up.  
 
-Deadzone for wheels and analogs: This has been long awaited! You now have a deadzone setting for your analogs and wheels!  
 
-License test moved to tutorial section: License tests are no longer its own mode and you no longer need license applications to do tests. You can also unlock them with yellow keys.  
 
-Global chat now universal chat channel:System chat is no longer being used for chatting with each other the Global chat will be for all players. System will be messages from GM's GS's and such.
