List of changes
Cars/parts- Narrowed rear track of the Axis.
- Removed an experimental global 50% boost to brake friction;
Though this was more realistic, it greatly diminished the role of brakes as a maintenance item, and reduced reason to upgrade.
- Having a (non-functional) supercharger attached to a turbocharged inline 4 engine no longer overrides the attributes of the turbo.
- Added a drive power penalty to turbocharged engines uselessly also operating a supercharger.
Input- Added a secondary set of menu navigation binds - bind them to buttons on your controller to converse with pedestrians and racers without reaching for the keyboard!
You can also use them for other menu navigation of course, but you'll still need the mouse and keyboard for many functions!
- Race Setup now supports adjusting the bet via rebound menu keys, not just clicks and arrow keys - controller users won't need to reach for the mouse/keyboard unless changing the finish line!
- Added an axis tester function for throttle/brake/steering/clutch to the options menu - you can test how your controller is working, and adjust input filters with a live preview!
Misc- Fixed pedestrian talk dialogs sometimes reappearing immediately after exit.
- Increased traffic density to more closely match that of the original game.
- Added a "VERY LOW" traffic density level, equivalent to the previous "LOW".
- Added a gameplay impact warning when applying "OFF" and "VERY LOW" pedestrian density settings.
- Fixed a crash related to deleting careers.
- Fixed the main menu background reshaping for different aspect ratios incorrectly.
- Disassembly error dialogs can now be hidden by clicking anywhere on the screen, not just the dialog itself.
- New 'black bar filler' backgrounds for Club Info and Congratulation dialogs, featuring different colors for each club.
- Added recent crowdfunding supporters to the credits.
Reminder: Crowdfunding closes in less than 24 hours! Last chance to get your name and pedestrian response lines in-game!
- Further improved memory management - please let us know if you still ever get a constant stutter happening exactly every two seconds!
This will also improve stability related to minimizing the game, though there is still chance of this action resulting in the aforementioned stuttering and/or game crashes - please let us know under what in-game conditions you had minimized the game if this happens to you!
Enjoy, and please let us know of any issues! :)
