Combined changelog up to version 0.2.8.1

The demo special event track has been updated with movable containers and tyre walls too!

[h2]We've completely revised the online multiplayer races[/h2]

You can now respawn at any time during an online race. The respawn has a small time delay depending on the current position. The further forward in the field, the longer a respawn takes.
Thank you for your help and patience in testing the different respawn mechanics together with us in the community races.

[h3]Online Championships[/h3]

You now get points for qualifications and races, depending on your result.
The championship ends when a driver has 125 points. The driver with the most points wins the championship and a new championship begins.

The race starting grid is now inverted. This leads to more exciting and closer races. It works well together with the points system. Your feedback on this from the community races is very helpful. Thanks again to all who contributed!


[h2]We've added three new race track variants for online and two of them for time trial[/h2]



Zone-B reverse layout

Zone-A oval with joker lap

Zone-A reverse short track






We've also added 10 past Special Event stages as online qualifications. Together with the previous 20 qualifying challenges, there are now 30 qualifying stages to choose from.




[h2]Full force feedback for steering wheels[/h2]

The force feedback now transfers the correct physical forces from the wheels to the steering wheel. You can reduce or increase the force feedback with the rumble intensity setting.

For the range setting, 540° with a linearity of 50% has proven to be a good starting point.
We're now working on supporting analog handbrakes, which will come with a future update.


[h2]Added new special event 13[/h2]

The new Special Event has just started and will run until the 9th of February.
There is a live updated leaderboard that also captures the input devices used in our Discord community. Videos of record attempts and personal best times are also shared.
