New aero sound New engine explode sound New distance attenuation settings for all vehicle related sounds Fixed lag for UI sounds Fixed continuous loop of church bells on Italy map Memory and performance improvements Reworked vehicle interior filter Fixed leaking interior sounds Implemented a simple live tuning app for engine sounds (imgui) Fixed cockpit audio filtering not applying correctly at high driving speeds Upgraded FMod to 1.10.12 Scenarios: New Port Gymkhana time trial in Italy Added Tasti-Cola Delivery scenario Added Electric Hypermilling scenario Tweaks and improvements to all of the time trials (Slight layout changes to : Jungle Rock Island Dirt Stage 1, East Coast USA Asphalt Stage 2 and Street Stage 1) Ported Automation Test Track Dam Climb time trial to scenario Fixed “Hustle And Bustle” first mission ending unexpectedly when un-pausing the game Fixed special camera setup for specific campaing scenarios Fixed scenario blacklists failing to exclude actions Fixed UI not working as intended for vehicles without configs like the Cannon Fixed objects leaking during a transition from one scenario directly into another scenario Physics: Physics core optimizations improved performance by up to 10% New implementation of Lua garbage collection managing subsystem of physics core, this reduces micro-lag spikes Optimized CPU and memory usage of physics core’s static collision subsystem Optimized CPU performance of physics core’s raycasting subsystem Improved orchestration of dynamic collision subsystem’s thread scheduling Increased friction on wet asphalt Added scrape sound subsystem into physics core, it filters and aggregates scrape sound events Increased accuracy of physics core object positioning subsystem. This affects positioning accuracy of objects that are far from level’s origin point Wheelspeed data is now calculated at 2000hz, giving much more accurate data Added obj:getGravityVector() function which returns gravity’s vector Added obj:sendRPMLeds function and removed older obj:playRPMLeds function Improved particle emission filter Game Engine: New implementation of Lua garbage collection managing subsystem of game engine (same as in physics core), this reduces micro-lag spikes and could provide up to 5% better framerate Various other performance improvements to the game engine Fixed default user path check failing when it doesn’t exist Fixed FS:findfiles not handling non-standard mounting points Performance graph: Added new custom imgui graphs, json and csv file export ability. Optimizations reduced CPU load by up to 50% Fixed FS:findfiles not handling none standard mounting points Added “getClipboard” function (complementing the existing “setClipboard”) Nodegrabber sphere size can now be tweaked using be.nodeGrabber.renderSize Fixed broken camera system when switching cars after reloading LUA Fixed fully hydrolocked engines not displaying a message on screen Graphics Engine: Preload material permutations to reduce stuttering during gameplay Integrated CEF GPU rendering Fixed direct lighting for translucent materials Fixed render timers used for performance graphs Text render improvements in various vehicle debug modes User Interface: Tweaked road colors in Navigation app for better visibility Cameras: Made “Look Back” instant and “hold” instead of “toggle” Fixed chase camera having incorrect offset when changing vehicles AI: Added save/load functionality to Script AI Manager World Editor: Added “Snap To Terrain” Forest Editor brush Fixed T3d::PathUtils::getUserPath still using defaulting path (may have fixed some issues regarding paths) import/export holeMap, resizable import terrain window, fix export/import terrain flipped Y axis (use only flip if it’s file exported with previous version) Fixed crash when using more than 32 material layers on terrain, added message to not go over the limit of 254 layers Fixed materials texture animation when using Material Editor Fixed hidding of TSStatic and Forest in the Editor Improved integration of Imgui when used from multiple threads Replay: Fixed graphics corruption during replay playback if a vehicle had lost parts and was then reset or recovered Fixed missing replay audio, skidmarks and other details when the computer cannot keep up with the requested playback speed Input: Added player number labels to the Options > Controls > Hardware menu when multiseat is enabled Added input controller identifiers next to multiseat tags Improved default Logitech G920 force feedback settings Slightly more robust force feedback updates Misc: Moved ESC/TC debug apps to imgui Launcher now writes dates in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) Improved banana bench vehicle placement. Vehicles are spawned on the ground level now so they are not slamming down from a height. This has reduced a little bit banana bench scores
