The next big patch for the Lite Campaign V3 version of the game is now available on the public default branch. Note that you can opt in or out of the openbeta branch by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library, Properties, Betas, select the openbeta branch and let the game update.

What game is this, looks awesome?! Presented by nacho.

In this big patch we have many important fixes and quite a few cool new features too! It certainly does feel quite a bit different with the updated UI look. If you were part of the openbeta, you find the latest changes below listed under Hotfix 5.

MGR_99's version of the Merano Titus in full motion in the updated photo scenes.

For those of you who have not been part of the openbeta, here is a quick summary with the biggest changes:

• New simplified and performance optimized UI look (still WIP)
  
• New car and engine design rooms selectable from the car manager
  
• Added ability to place several cars in a photoscene
  
• Fixed various memory eating crashes in Engine Designer
  
• Option for intake models on engine to show in the car, export to BeamNG
  
• Added photoscene animatics, can be rendered out as .mp4
  
• Plenty of campaign UI improvements
  
• Lots of general optimization and bugfixes
  
• New car bodies, fixtures, and plenty of fixes
  

From here we're going to continue to improve the campaign to make it more playable for people who don't know it inside out already. This current patch goes some way towards that already by making it more solid - so you don't have the feeling you need to walk on egg shells. Although there sure is a lot more work to do on that.

Please note any bugs you encounter in the LCV3 bug posting thread:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/293760/discussions/2/1842440600597495047/

Of course we'll also continue to add new planned features to the campaign, inching it closer and closer to having a grand campaign mode.

Thanks to all who reported issues during the openbeta of this milestone update!

Let us know what you think. :)
Cheers!
