Watch this site for a release notification!
We were waiting for the roll-out of Havok 4 as driving scripts have been optimized that. Havok 4 was rolled out to SL grid last weekend.
In the meantime, we've added Intelli-Drive code to assist driving. This adds some neat features lacking in most if not all other vehicles, including but not limited to adaptive steering strength depending on current vehicle status, and flat track mode to cut down on airtime on busy flat racetracks.
See included pic at our test-sim ( don't worry - you won't be forced to have these colors :), we'll have a few standard colors available ).
If you've ever driven a classy car like this in SL you'll have experienced what I have in testing. Every time I test AV's are jumping in the car with me. While I don't normally have an issue, there have been some troublemakers (ie. read jealous car owners) jumping in and making life unpleasant. So I added an eject option to eject the passenger on demand, and also a ban option to ban a AV re-entering ... must be the first car with a built-in ban system :) ... but it needs it ... EVERYONE wants to ride with.
Some other fun / realistic options you won't find in many SL vehicles include:
- Genuine custom Carrera GT recorded sounds ... none of those internet sounds everyone has
- Tyres even squeal on gear-change!
- Everything opens .. .doors, bonnet, engine hood
- Working aero-wing ... raises and lowers at speed
- Realistic wheel rotation on steering ... the front wheels don't look silly when you turn and they adapt to speed
- Working steering wheel turns with direction changes ... it just sucks that others don't have this
- Drive lights ... when driving, headlights and taillights light up (look fantastic at night!) ..see photo below
- Working drive / brake-lights ... pressing brake key activates the brake lights
- Custom driving and passenger animations
- Burn option .... hear the tyres scream amid smoke as you burn some rubber!
We're working on the HUD to show speed as well as engine RPM.
