UPDATE 0.3.6.1451- Car Tablet, Probe Receivers, Unique Engines, and Bug Fixes!

CAR TABLET
  • [p]Added a brand-new Car Tablet UI that displays four in-vehicle applications:[/p]
    • [p]Minimap: Displays your current location, compass, and an active warning indicator.[/p]
    • [p]MesoLink: Displays current wind data if the vehicle has a mesonet equipped[/p]
    • [p]Car Data: Displays crucial vehicle information such as speed, fuel level, active accessories, and the passenger occupancy indicator.[/p]
    • [p]Probe Receiver: Synchronizes with the probes data to display receiver information in real time.[/p]
    [p][/p]
  • [p]Added tornado warning notifications if the vehicle is equipped with an active antenna.[/p]
  • [p]Added EAS alerts that trigger upon entering a tornado warning (can be disabled in settings).[/p][p] [/p]
PROBE RECEIVERS
  • [p]Added the Probe Receiver, an upgrade that can track probe status, tornado location, and environmental conditions with exact precision depending on receiver upgrades applied.[/p]
  • [p]Added five trackable status levels to the probe receiver, to determine how the probe is currently interacting with the environment:[/p]
    • [p]UNDEPLOYED: The probe isn’t placed anywhere in the OUTBRK world, and no data is being read.[/p]
    • [p]DEPLOYED: The probe is on the ground and reading environmental conditions in real time; however, no tornadic data is being detected or recorded.[/p]
    • [p]RECORDING: Tornadic winds are in range, and the probe is actively recording data in real time.[/p]
    • [p]DATA CAPTURED: Your best intercept (relative to probe placement) has been captured, and the probe is ready to be picked up to begin uploading.[/p]
    • [p]UPLOADING: The probe has been picked up, and the player has entered any car to begin the upload.[/p]
      • [p]Displays points earned, distance from tornado, and maximum wind speed recorded.[/p]
  • [p]Includes three unlockable probe receiver tiers in the charcter shop—Free, Plus, and Pro—each offering a higher level of environmental precision:[/p]
    • [p]Free Receiver (Unlocked By Default): Enables direct data communication to the Probe Receiver Tablet App.[/p]
      • [p]Displays the windspeed and probe status [/p]
    • [p]Plus Receiver (20,000 OUTBUCKS): Enables the range finder to display a visual graph, displaying the tornadic wind speeds honing in on the probes center location during an intercept.[/p]
      • [p]After the data is captured, a shadow circle will appear showing the tornado departing.[/p]
      • [p]The exact distance from the tornado is displayed above the range finder. [/p]
    • [p]Pro Receiver (100,000 OUTBUCKS + Purchase of Plus Receiver): Enhances the receiver to track temperature and pressure deltas, and further enhances the range finder.[/p]
      • [p]Range finder shows the precise path of the tornado on the grid, along with the exact radius of tornadic winds.[/p]
        • [p]As the tornado approaches, the range finder will zoom in to display a more accurate path and size relative to probe location.[/p]
      • [p]Once the highest data point is captured, the receiver will show the location of the highest data point by displaying a yellow circle resembling the tornado.[/p]
[p][/p]
CHANGES
  • [p]Enhanced vehicle engines to sound more realistic and unique to each specific car model[/p]
  • [p]Changed the Dominator 3 deploy icon to an anchor[/p]
  • [p]Updated the scenario rotation to include several new scenarios [/p]
  • [p]Increased the frequency of mesonet updates[/p]
FIXES
  • [p]Fixed an issue causing players to be disconnected from servers after entering a vehicle lofted by a tornado[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue causing errors when attempting to open the text chat before loading into the game[/p]
  • [p]Fixed the tachometer and speedometer being inverted on the PredaTor[/p][p][/p]
