Version:1.1.3585
This time we were focusing on these major issues:
Car physics and control
We improved many parts of our physics, which resulted much better car handling, drifting and many more. Since some of you had issues with setting up the controller or playing the game via keyboard, we decided to implement a new controller logic and we have changed the way of setting your controller. We tweaked all controllers from pedals to the steering wheel.
We removed the Use Wheel option and added a new one:
Steering GAMMA
It allows the user to change the dynamics and characteristics of the steering and making it possible to set all kind of controllers or driving style. Lower gamma values means less responsive or less aggressive steering, while higher values means more dynamics when steering.
Localization
Finally, we have our localization tools, text, workflow ready and thanks to many volunteers translators, this version support 5 new languages:
Hungarian, Turkish, Danish, Ukrainian, Czech
Please help us to find and fix localization issues! If you see any, let us known so we can fix it asap!
Game balance
We have been monitoring our player's wishes, problems and in-game behaviours since the first beta version and we are continuously trying to make the game better and better. In this version we have tweaked and changed several parts of the game to make the game flow better.
Starting of the game changed (only when new profile started) and instead of pick any car to start with, Charlie will give you one in a decent shape ready to race. We would like to avoid to start with a wrong choice and make it hard to get a good driving feeling in time.
We also worked on the unlocking system and make more use of the skills. Revheads no longer can be challenged (new profile only) until you reach Pro skills.
Prices of some parts like engines or tuning parts are increased and tuning parts are no longer part of the newspaper's extra section. Use the shop to buy some cool tuning.
Content
Race is important part of the game, so we added 20+ more :)
Also new tuning parts, more differentials and gear boxes are available in the shop!
So here is a more detailed list what changed in this release:
- minimum resolution set to 1024x768
- 5 new languages (Turkish, Czech, Danish, Ukrainaian, Hungarian)
- completely reworked tire physics and steering
- removed Use Wheel option from Controller page
- reworked controls with gamma for adjustable response
- 23 additional race events, some of them with skill limitations including revhead only!
- rebalanced race unlock system
- all Euroa tuning parts are now available in shops only
- new tune parts in shops
- additional information for gear boxes with gear ratios
- faster ai with better driving behaviour and much quicker launch by race start
- improved UI (race unlock notifications, option slider values shown)
- new detailed carburetor 3d
- improved physics on different objects, fences etc..
- supercharger sound updated to change its pitch on rpm change
- new 'Reset to defaults' feature in controls
- improved differential box code
- car follow cams tweaked for better view angle and movement
- roadsing collision time freeze bug fixed
- Charlie clean up the mess after the race: obstacles (tractor tires/traffic cones etc...) on BackYard are reposioned for every race or race-restarts
- updated tire model, with burnout effect, better pressure calculation and wear factors and many more tire related fixes
- steering ackerman recalculated to match perfectly with each car (same brand)
- improved engine RPM calculation
- new bonus startup car from Charlie to be able to start racing immediately and make the start easier
- added value indicators to controller page slider's for better tweaking
- various small fixes and improvements
Have Fun!
