Large Jun update


Try the rush of the chase with steering wheel!

Changes from last update

  1. Implemented new AI behaviour for traffic. It’s smoother and careful for incidents compared to the “brutal” old version. Smooth driving gave AI higher speeds.
  2. Updated traffic system to make it more dynamic and allow less powerful cars to win against more powerful. Sometimes handling skills are better than a lot of HPs under the hood!
  3. Added UI to see what opponent you are asking to race (Shows yours and opponents relative power - HP / tons). Cars are marked as similar if their relative power is close but they can be really differ by other characteristics (steering, brakes, grip because of tire/suspension or even “traffic scare” factor :) 
  4. Changed method to start road battle, now it’s more intuitive. You can start battle as real one by “three beeps” starting parallel to opponents, in-front or behind them. You even can cheat a bit, pushing the gas and hitting the 3rd beep at the last moment :)
  5. Changed UI / fonts. 
  6. Added music! Two sets of tracks: relaxing for free riding and epic for battles on road/track/drag.
  7. Changed default settings. Made the engine and sfx volume quieter and music louder. Updated default steering sensitivity to make steer more smooth, reduce shaking because of g-forces and speed.
  8. Updated lighting on Islands Road, now it’s still “sunny morning” but not so dark :)  
  9. Added support for Steering Wheels (and other XInput / XBox360 controllers). Controller can be set up in the Menu, in the “Joystick / Wheel” section.
  10. Added more external cameras. Basic are: interior, external and “hood” camera. Switching by “Change Camera” key or “C” by default. In “hood” mode the mouse can be used to switch between: “bumper-front”, left, right and rear view. “Change Camera” key will return camera to “hood” view. Interior and exterior cameras now have “always” mouse-look w/o additional “Mouse look key”. Any shaking is disabled for “hood” and other near-car views for convenience after testing with Steering Wheel. 
  11. Added minimap with you and opponents on schematic road.
  12. Reduced difficulty for opponents on drag strip and race track, at least torque curvature has now more sense than total amount of HPs. 


Thanks for reading! Try it out, waiting for your feedback!
