While we are busy working on implementing the campaign mode into the UE4 version of Automation, we release this content update in order to help bridge the long gap between the last public release and the upcoming big update with the Lite Campaign V3 (LC V3). This is easy enough for us to do because art / content, like cars and fixtures, pretty much are separate from the programming part of developing the game.
Our new trailer for the car & engine designer.https://youtu.be/0Qt1HFr7gnsOur artists have been working away on getting more cars done for the LC V3 and focused mostly on filling car-type gaps throughout the year range. That means there are a lot new utility vehicles especially, but also plenty of new “more standard” cars of various sizes. 75 cars in total are added with this update, and more are to come with the LC V3 as currently 5 people are working on getting more cars done for the game. A big thanks to the awesome modders who provided their fixtures and car bodies to be implemented as vanilla content in the game!
Due to how difficult it is to implement technical fixes into the content only update, we only have three small fixes for issues, but they are good ones! Of course there are heaps of fixes to car bodies and their morphs in this update.
Some of the cars that have been added don’t have all their morphs yet, but should be functional and usable in general. So if you discover cars that seem to allow very few changes, most likely that will change.
