The first simulator updates have been posted since Steam release yesterday.
-The simulator now defaults new players to the top speed shootouts when they first "drive it." Yesterday (launch day) there weren't very many people running in the top speed shootout, probably because they weren't aware of its existence. It takes a little navigation to get there. If you bought it yesterday or today before this patch and don't know how to compete in the shootouts yet, try this:

-A normal map (bump map) has been added to the boat's surface material and the reflectivity has been adjusted. The effect is subtle, but it should hopefully give a slight improvement to the appearance of the boats.
Thanks for the support, everyone!
