April 14, 2017	0.9.0	4180	See also: Content Creation Changelog 0.9.0 Physics: Physics core is more than 30% faster (see here for more details) Added vehicle damage save/load Improved stability of heavy object collisions (carrying heavy rocks case) Improved inter-vehicle collisions, anti-sticking works now for both front and back triangle faces. Adjustments might be needed for vehicle mods with misplaced nodes Improved accuracy of friction Added slidingFrictionCoef node property that acts like a multiplier only on the sliding friction of a node Added “stribeckExponent” and “stribeckVelMult” to node properties. It allows finer control of the sliding friction curve Improved accuracy of static collisions Static collision subsystem filters out degenerate (zero area) triangles. This fixes static collision clipping problems with collision meshes containing degenerate triangles Fixed instability with high lift coefficients in water Increased accuracy of wheel/rotator angular velocity calculations, they are accurate now even for “heavy” use cases that require high precision Rewrote mud/sand subsystem to use the same information as aerodynamics (in a non-newtonian fluid medium). It is more accurate now, but groundmodels will need to be adjusted Added “shearStrength” groundmodel coefficient. It defines the force (per area) that needs to be applied for the ground to start yielding Improved aerodynamic lift and drag curves Added airfoil lift curve approximation to triangle’ aerodynamics simulation (using lift and stallAngle triangle properties) Added “stallAngle” property to triangles. It defines (in radians) the angle where the lift will begin to stall Bananabench works again, it tests now up to 20 vehicles Tire Physics: Node friction load sensitivity (WIP-Not all tires yet): Load sensitivity node properties are “noLoadCoef”, “fullLoadCoef” and “loadSensitivitySlope” Tire’s overall grip is reduced with increased load Lightly loaded tires have comparably more traction. This means less inside wheel spin with throttle in corners. The cars behavior and balance at the limit is more progressive, cars do not “tank slap” as much when trying to recover from a slide Cars can brake/accelerate with some 5-10% more force than they corner, because the wheelbase is longer than track, weight transfer reduces grip less in the longitudinal direction. Camber affects maximum grip in a more accurate way, because loading the outside tire nodes excessively, reduces grip due to load sensitivity. Vehicles, especially tall ones, are less likely to roll after hitting curbs or off camber situations, because the extreme camber reduces the grip through load sensitivity on the outside tire nodes. Rolling resistance reduction: Rolling resistance reduced another 10-30% by improving the node to ground collision code Increased aero drag to compensate for reduced rolling resistance Tire “softness” friction property: Nodes have a new “softnessCoef” property, which changes the rubber’s hysteretic behavior. This allows them to be more sticky in transient situations. When used in wheels, this improves steering response and makes the tire less likely to be shocked loose from the road by sudden input or a bump etc. It can also reduce loss of grip at high speeds (250+km/h) to a basically negligible amount. Tire “treadCoef” + ground model “roughness” friction properties: Tires have a tread coefficient that represents how well treaded the tire is (Slick = 0, mud tire = 1) we multiply this against a roughness coefficient in each ground type (mud has a high roughness, asphalt has very little) this means that a mud tire now works well in mud but mediocre on pavement, a slick works well on pavement but horribly on mud. Similar for other ground models. Choosing the correct tire for the surface is more important now, as off road tires will perform well off road but not so much on asphalt, and slicks will be great on asphalt but practically useless in mud. Gameplay: Time refactor: sim/real time Improved node grab (Middle-Click to use ‘fixed’ node grab) Added optional support to match the steering wheel rotation 1:1 to your plugged steering wheel (to the best of its ability) Added new external camera, featuring two distinct modes: Fan mode (the person, not the cooler :-D) and TV mode Improving pitching of orbit camera when looking from the front When orbit camera is manually rotated, it tries to remain locked at that position Improved tiremarks render simulation, they now take into account wheel angle Greatly reduced lag when meshes break in heavy collisions Slowmotion physics speed can now be instantly modified while game is paused Added new quickraces, raising the total number of quickrace tracks to 46: East Coast USA: Rallycross Long Course, Road Race 1&2, Dirt Race, High Speed Highway, East Coast Off-Road Course, Town Course 1&2 Gridmap: Jumps, Offroad, Skycurve 1&2, Slalom, Suspension Race, High Speed Circle Jungle Rock Island: Peninsula Race, Port Shakedown, Road Race Small Island: Round Circuit 1&2, Rally Small Island – Stage 1, 2 and 3 Steam trading cards are nearly finished: we need to fix some minor issues, then they should start dropping 🙂 Input: Added fancy graph to Controls menu, displaying the effect of each option in real time Added Sony DualShock 4 Slim inputmap Added Speedlink Phantom Hawk flight stick inputmap Added Thrustmaster TH8A Shifter inputmap Updated all inputmaps to use default parking brake rather than permanent brake Added sane limits to the linearity Increased granularity of deadzone setting Simplified configuration of binding deadzone, now only one value is needed Input system is now shielded against possibly incorrect deadzone values Fixed bug in XInput system, the controller type is now correctly recognized (although it is ignored for now) Force Feedback: Added optional force cutoff at low speed. This will help remove vibrations in setups with powerful steering wheels and computers with low framerates Force Feedback: Fixed the parsing of header lines in LUT and CSV response curve files Force Feedback: Fixed LUT files aggravating the nonlinear response of motors, rather than fixing it (due to all their values typically being inverted) Artificial Intelligence: New speed planning and targeting: Handles all plan segments as circular segments. Calculates speeds on segments through analytic forms. Places target along planned path at a distance from the vehicle proportional to the vehicle’s speed. Added anti slip control. Models a drivers reaction to wheel slip under excessive brake or throttle application. Simple AI crash detection. AI detects a crash and engages in maneuvers to get out of it. Added AI span mode. Produces paths biased towards the part of the map that has not been yet traversed. Added a drivability attribute to the edges of the graph representation of a map’s road network. It allows for the user specification of the part of the map to be spanned. Added options for the user specification of the route speed (limit/set) in the AI manual mode API. Bug fixes to the AI random pathfinder. Merge overlapping edges (forming triangles) of AI roads (navigation map) in map.lua. Corrected drivability values of various road segments in East Coast USA (mainly dirt roads that had unit drivability).
