F1 2012 - PS3-Patch-Changelog:
New/Updated Features:
-On PS3 only we�ve enabled the full rotation for 900 and 1080 degree steering wheels. This will require the player to set their wheel up using the options available, specifically we suggest setting the Wheel Saturation to around 65 � 70% as a good starting point.
-Added an option to turn the Parc Ferme rules on or off in online Custom Race, Co-Op and LAN games. This option can be found within the Simulation Settings and defaults to on. Setting this to off will allow players to set up their cars in Qualifying sessions and will also allow players who join in progress during qualifying to edit their car setup before the race.
-Added a Skip Session option so players can leave any session without having to complete it.
-Made Pro level AI quicker so that the time gap to Legendary AI is smaller.
-Changed the Prime tyre compound to Hard for Suzuka. This change will not affect Time Attack which will continue to use the Medium compound tyre.
