- Removed duplicate car on Small Island (it was sitting in the ocean)
Features:
- New startup screen
- Force Feedback basics, not working out of the box yet, might damage your hardware, try at your own risk. FF is currently always on for the first wheel and it might be inverted depending on your hardware.
- Asynchronous shader compilation: reducing lag/halts when playing, funky material loading at startup now but reducing the loading times significantly
- FPS limiter: Max FPS is currently hardcoded to 60 to allow a smoother gameplay experience, will be set-able later on.

- Collisions with heavy objects are a lot more stable now
- Rebalanced friction calculations, slightly differently now
- Cull individual forest item for improved performance of render shadow pass (saves some ms per frame)

Features:
- LuaSocket is now completely integrated and always enabled. It has a security sandbox and can only connect to localhost and private IPv4 addresses (the previous command line switch is now obsolete)
- The ingame UI now uses local:// instead of file://. That enables it to use the virtual filesystem and i.e. load preview images from inside zips. There might be some stuttering in the main menu which we are working on. (This was a huge undertaking to get working well)

- Worked on the new vehicle selector
- Created proof of concept for new approach to input binding

- Fixed up resources to work with case sensitive filesystems correctly

This is an unreleased version of BeamNG.drive. Listed features were implemented as part of update 0.3.6.0 instead.
Features:
- Multi-DAE support: it is now possible to load a vehicle from multiple .DAE files - this enables mods for the vehicles without the need to modify the original model
- File system: Zip support, overlaying of files and folders: We are working on having the mods as simple zip files for easy exchange.
- Greatly improved Heightmap Resolution (and thus physics resolution -> smoother drive)
- Steam Store and Steam integration (i.e. the ingame steam overlay is working)
- JBeam: Coltris can now define a groundmodel (so dynamic surfaces can have other friction parameters than asphalt)
- Terrain block's groundmodel matching is now case insensitive
- Dynamic Friction improvements
- Stabilized water (When things hit water, they don't explode that much)
- Increased core's accuracy
- Core optimizations
User Interface:
- Minor work on the JS
- Added version information to the main menu
- Improved SimpleEngineDebug, SimpleGears
- Added SimplePerfTimers, SimpleTrip

- DeformGroups not working at all after implementing multi-DAE
- T3D per level resource fixes: Brushes and terrains are now saved with the level instead of globally
- Decals vanishing at certain angles
- ScatterSky missing mieScattering field.
- LOD for decalroad: they fade away now, increasing FPS
- Crash in GFXD3D9OcclusionQuery: improved crash reporting and user message
