It’is been sometime since the last time we informed you about the upcoming versions we are working on. So let’s try to make a brief explanation of the updates that will follow. Some of them will be installed in a few days and some others may take some more time to appear:
Improvements to appear in few days
Market Review
After some time monitoring the flow of money in the market we discovered a bug that will be corrected quickly.
-
Incomes of large amounts. Every so often the system added a large amount of money to a random team under the concept of transfers. This led to have some teams with large sums of money from one week to another. It has been fixed.
Review of the sponsors
Now the sponsorship system will review the active bids more frequently and distribute in a more optimal way. The goal is to make it easier for managers to have the maximum of 4 sponsors and generate less repeated offers on the same concepts.
Mid-term improvements
Simulator improvements
The racing simulator will improve a lot:
-
We have fixed the problem of collisions in the pit lane. Occasionally the drivers increased their damage during the pitstop, with this correction we avoid this unpleasant situation.
-
Revised AI algorithm for faster overtaking. Now drivers being overtaken with lost laps cause less disturb and are overtaken faster.
-
Skids Detection System. This improvement will show an extra information to managers so they can setup their cars better. Now you will know when your car skids and the severity of the skid.
-
Immediate abandonment notice. No more waiting until the end of race to know if our driver has left, we’ll know at the time.
-
Improving the calculation of consumption of the car. Allow better calculations for the managers.
Big news in the medium term
We’re working on it at this moment and we have a prototype working …. what? We are preparing a live timing player in 2 Dimensions to follow the broadcast with more information than we currently have.
It will be a Flash viewer, and besides the current timesheets it will show in real time the location of all the cars in the circuit, the gear engaged by your cars and the speed on each part of the circuit…. in real time!
But as some of you won’t believe it until you see it, we let you here a preview of the prototype… we will upload more videos to show different race incidents.
