PHYSICS & CONTROLLER UPDATE

Small showcase of some of the new changes added for the physics & controller

Physics Changes

• Fixed update tick rate

  • Dynamic range for performance reasons ( can slightly effect controller but tried to minimize that)

• Dynamic collision detection based on vehicle actions

• Changed overall collision detection

• Other small physics update loop value changes

Controller Changes

• Brake system rework

  • Added option in tuning menu as well

• Changed all steering and major inputs to be in the fixed update loop to avoid major differences at FPS.

• Tweaked back-end controller base values

• Auto Dampen system when in air

  • This is tied to angular dampening in the tune menu

• Collision Hit-box type change for all "STREET" cars only. ( Still testing )

• Camera move options for the mouse changed as well as controller support by pressing in on the right D-Pad. ( Key-binds coming soon for those. )

UI UPDATES

• MUSIC PANEL

  • Added music panel ( song title still does not work )

  • Added playlist panel for swapping out playlist

  • Added Custom playlist tab with file explorer to select the .WAV files you want!

• DISPLAY FPS

  • Ripped out the setting option for display FPS

  • Replaced it with Alt F+10 and alt F+11 to cycle through and toggle

  • Added Ram counter ( multiple modes )

  • Added Audio Counter ( multiple modes )

  • Added System info in bottom right

• Changed all moveable windows to be persistent & visible while still in game

  • Can change size or disable while in pause menu

• More key-bind options added in the settings menu for reset & roll

  • Keyboard users will need to bind the roll trigger to be the button they want to use to roll ( This will change but it does kinda work haha )

• Option to Hide In-Game UI in the settings menu.

• Added exact version number in home screen above name

GARAGE & UPDATES

• Added zoom slider to get a closer look at the cars ( still WIP )

• Changed Car Price display to show BUY or Sell with the price following.

• Added Brake power tune option to the car ( Normalized from 1-10

Other small bug-fixes and changed were done here as well as some new custom music added < 3

Next update will be more focused on wrapping up the player controller as well as starting to put a lot more work into the game-modes and get those to a somewhat final state in terms of the base generation & AI as well as a good scope of the features and dynamic elements that I want to add.
