Hi, TDC v1.2.0 is here with an important vehicle physics improvement and an open world map
Here's what's new to this update.
NEW

Added back the Open World map with a new design. NOTE : the map is a WORK IN PROGRESS and not yet completed. Performance may not be good enough
Added an Arcade and Pro Drift physics mode. NOTE, both modes are EXPERIMENTAL, based on the Simcade physics mode with some different settings and helpers
IMPROVED

IMPORTANT : improved wheels rotation relation to engine rotation. This fixes the weird wheels slip and losing traction when doing U-turns or reverse entries. Now cars behave much better and are much easier to control
IMPORTANT : improved (adjusted) some engine properties for better experience which together with the physics fix/improvement it makes the vehicle much nicer to slide
Adjusted camera target look point for Action, Drift and Race cameras. - the look at target is moved forward related to car center which gives better look and feel
Adjusted engine swap prices (previously all engine swaps costed 25K)
