Welcome back!
As a first, I'm thanking all the people for being so patient, recently Wichur has been working on the project solo, so the progress didn't go as fast as we'd have hoped to,
in addition to that Wichur has been having a hard time due to the death of a relative, we apologise for the lack of updates in the recent months.
Onto new content and improvements!

Improvements:
Graphical and Performance Improvements
Memory usage optimisation
More graphical options to modify
Better lighting in paint booth
Custom route of intake pipes (still in progress)
Day-night cycle (still in progress)
Car physics improvement (still in beta stage)
Racing with opponents and basic economy
Rebuilt save/load file for future content (not compatible with current version)
Rebuilt UI (including game settings)
Car lift has position steps
Garage has been retextured
Fixed the h-shifter on Windows 10
Fixed the turbocharger on the inline 6 engine
Support twin-turbo in Inline 6 engines
Fixed car reflections in the dealership
Fixes for many parts (invalid ID's)

Fixed few achievements

Content:
Improved shopping cart include remove or add parts count
You can turn on "compatible" items in body elements parts catalogue
New tires textures
Tires support colour variants labels
New track 'Habura' (no mode included)
New drag track "American drag strip"
New free ride track "Driving school area"
New driver model with better movement in cockpit
New suspension adjustable parts - lower/upper control arms
Simple tutorials for fresh players
Neon support variants and pulse effect

And now, we also have a Roadmap for future updates!

Future updates:
4 new car models, (Similar to Audi 80 B2, Audi A4 B7, Fiat Cinquecento, Mercedes W208) more information on these is available on discord
City map for free ride
Driving school mode was deleted, the system has to be totally rebuilt including a new driving school map
A new inline 4 engine model
Car engine damage
More types of racing (time trial, speed, more drifting modes)
More optimisation
Day-night cycle optimisation (Unity engine has got problems with multiple lights in the scene - bad performance, I can't find the right solution as of this moment)

PS: Please copy your profile save, as it's incompatible with the new version, Wichur is working on a converter that will make the possibility of using old saves with new versions possible.

Also one more thing.. We're debating switching to first person mode! Here's a poll and we will let you decide which is better, TPV or FPV :)

Welcome back!

First off, a lot of people complained due to the fact, that we left the game without updates for such a long time; We're sorry for keeping you waiting for this long, we were trying our best to fix all the game-breakers to give you a stable version of the game, and due to most of us still being in a full-time job it wasn't possible to release the update as quickly as we wanted.
It won't happen again however, we will do our best to update the game with hotfixes more often and add things along the way ;)
Now, let's kick off with the update log!

- Track selector with different game modes (WIP)

We hope you'll enjoy the update! Also, happy belated Halloween!

Also, let's talk about future update content, as in what are we planning.

Hey, welcome back!

As a first, I want to apologise for the lack of activity; We're still working hard on new vehicles that will be in the game, and also a lot of bugs, as we want the game as playable as it's possible.
Wichur and Jerry are working hard both on the new cars and new items, as well as bugs and optimisation currently, and I have some new things to show you!

As a first, and the most important..
A new vehicle, the BAW X46!

It's still a WIP, but it's doing very well ;)

( A lot of people complained that they have seen others use the new cars, that's all due to the fact that those people are our patron subscribers, and so on, they get to test the closed-loop betas )

Now second, and so another important thing.. You may have noticed on the BAW photos that they're a bit.. different than normal.
And that's all due to.. Photo mode!
Now you may wonder what you'd be able to do with such photo mode.

Here's a photo I made, and I think it's pretty good! The photo mode is advanced, but user-friendly ;)

From other things, there's more parts (like Air Ride and new wheels, adjustable wishbones and more) and there's one more car in the making ;) (that I will not spoil, but you will get to know it soon!)

I hope you are all being safe and sound, and you'll soon enjoy the update!

See you next time!
