Patch 1.0.9

Dear players,

we want to introduce you to our next update, version 1.0.9 - in this version we made lots of improvements, like implementing steering wheels properly into the options menu or improving radio communication during free play. We also made an effort to optimize the game. Unfortunately the version is still suffering from lags on very fast PCs which we can only fix in the next update. Fortunately, the next update will already be published in the next days.
