Reiza Quote:

Another week of intense housekeeping as we approach v1.0 release – once again a lot of the focus has been on physics / FFB, with a lot of fine-tuning resulting in another good step forward all around, as the handling for most cars now become representative of our v1.0 target. From now on most of the physics work will concentrate on reviewing fuel consumption, tyre & engine wear, temps & reliability properties.

On the AI side we haven´t yet concluded implementing the new AI Strength logic, so for those struggling with AI speed in lower settings we ask for a little more patience until we finalize this development to provide more consistent performance across the AI Strength range. In the meantime setting around 90-110%, AI Strength and 50% Aggression has been quite thoroughly calibrated and should provide the best racing.

3D Animations for wipers, suspension, drivers & other moveable car parts are finally beginning to come in, although only one minor item added in this update (animated suspension arms for F-Trainer from external view) – all the remaining exports should flow very quickly from here.

Last but not least, the Dedi tool is now available from the Tools Library on Steam – please check further information about the tool, how to set it up and run it as well as post feedback/reports about it here.

For those wondering about upcoming content, please hold for more information in our May Development update coming up tomorrow.
