    Hello,

    I've been looking at cars, and I've noticed something regarding the dash. In certain cars, such as the 718 GT4 Clubsport (2019), and the 911 GT2RS Clubsport, they share the same dash. I've noticed this in SimRacing604's video regarding the Porsche DLC #3, and was wondering if the developers did this to save time, since I think the dashboards aren't universal.

    Thanks.

    They look pretty similar in real life, but that's not the graphics we have in the game.

    And in some cars like DTM 2020 BMW they are low res. Doesn't look good.

    I think it's been mentioned the dashboards are made using some code that's no longer supported and theres noone who can use it well (Scaleform?). That's why the couple of existing dashes are being reused over and over instead of creating new accurate ones. To make the new accurate ones, they would need to migrate the dashboards into some new system, but it's probably not super high on the priority list.
