rec.autos.simulators

Hi all,

Yes, v0.4.5 non-beta.
It's still too slippery, but a major bug was fixed in the physics
code; forward/backward forces in the tires wanted to push the car in
the wrong direction (!). That it still worked is beyond me. ;-)

Anyway, the changes:
- Physics code patched
- Ctrl-L and Ctrl-S now let you load and save the game state (Save
Game)
- P pauses the game much better now; no more time jumps after
unpausing
- The Viper & Porsche cars should work again, although their bounding
boxes are a bit too big so they get stuck in the tarmac soon.
- A timing bug was found which gave inaccurate time simulation. You
probably won't notice it. :)
- Optional physics settings; in debug.ini, use car.wheel_lock_adjust
to turn on/off a force direction modifier when the wheel locks up.
Also, car.use_slip2fc determines whether the slip2fc.crv file is used
(more slipperyness!)

Sorry about the quick update, but it was really TOO slippery, the
beta. :)

Enjoy,

did u get a Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Digital wheel setting yet?
both F1 sfiter setting and CART shifter setting

thanx
I really want to run the game but can't yet

This is fantastic work Ruud.  The physics feel excellent and the sound and
graphics are superb.

Everyone should download this and take a look.

Gday TRUSRS85,
grab the joystimm.exe from Ruud's site and fire it up. That will tell you
what axis you are running and the ranges. Copy one of the files in
ctrset ... prob the joygen.ini is a good start. Change the axis and values
settings to what you get in Joystimm.exe ... change the display
name in the file to F1 or CART ( make a file for each ) and then select
using config.exe. Next thing you know bob is your fathers brother
and you will be set. Let us know if you have any problems.

cheers

Shane
