Hey, KitHackers! We're happy to announce a new patch that adds new content to the game alongside a range of bugfixes and quality of life updates. Check out the notes below to find out more. [h3][b]CHARACTERS[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Meet Buddy, your new Crash Test Companion. He's ready to jump into that dea-- erm, worthy vehicle you just built. He's clearly nodding in approval. [/list] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43865341/7754c5a050cc721bfef991b6a86b961725a2280a.jpg[/img] [h3][b]SCENARIO EDITOR[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Added several new Props to the Scenario Editor: including full-size buildings, cargo containers, large ramps and track parts [/list] [h3][b]GAMEPLAY[/b][/h3] [list] [*] The game now supports headtracking via TrackIR. [*] Fixed not being able to interact with parts in the Inspect Vehicle view [*] Fixed a softlock when spectating on a remote vehicle that gets sent to the Vehicle Editor. [*] Fixed Under the Radar mission progress state conflicting with the Downward Dive mission. [*] Fixed spent Solid Rockets not causing the vehicle to be considered refuelable. [*] Tweaked damping for autotrim roll axis (to make it damp more at higher speeds) [*] Increased the server/client clock sync message frequency to 5Hz (from 1), for less noticeable corrections in time-based systems. [/list] [h3][b]PARTS[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Fixed mirroring for the Structural Pylon Part [*] The Structural Pylon part no longer has a stack node, but has a new bottom surface node. [*] Fixed soft-lock caused by a missing bulkhead profile for the Headlight parts (when attaching to an adaptive fuselage). [*] Clear plastic material is now much clearer, for improved visibility from FPV. [*] The basic wooden beam parts are now shape-tweakable. [*] Added two new basic wooden parts: Round Dowel and Flat Plate, both also able to morph. [*] Added new Large 2-bladed Propeller. [*] Added new smaller, flatter Battery. [*] Battery masses and capacities adjusted for more consistent mass ratios across all models. [/list] [h3][b]UI[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Added a new menu [F9] that allows switching various different vehicle system visualizations: including Aerodynamics, Internal Stresses, Volumetrics, and more. [*] Updated thumbnails for Starfinder, HMS McBoatface, MudMog and SeaFury stock vehicles [/list] [h3][b]VEHICLE EDITOR[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Added new Drivetrain category. [*] The CV Joint part now lives in a subcategory of its own. [*] Suspension parts are now categorized as 'suspension' instead of being under 'transmission' [*] Organized the parts under Propulsion, Drivetrain and Undercarriage a little better. [*] Fixed an issue where morphing symmetry counterparts could be moved out of position when tweaking the shape in the Vehicle Editor. [*] Re-linking a compound part (struts, CV Joints) now shows a message if there are no eligible parts to select (instead of leaving the game in a softlock state) [*] Added new control hints when a Part Selector operation is in progress. (re-linking struts/joints, Root tool, placing Action Figures) [/list] [h3][b]GRAPHICS[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Fixed a glitch with ocean foam during floating origin shifts. [*] Disabled an unnecessary bright light that was lit in Internal View. [*] Fixed Internal View not working while the vehicle has collision safety (after spawning or releasing) [*] NPC Traffic should now move more smoothly when MP if the server/client clocks are running at different rates (ie if either one is lagging) [/list] [h3][b]SCENERY[/b][/h3] [list] [*] Fixed violently shaking trees in the main menu. [*] Removed submerged trees around southwest-most area of the map. [*] Fixed LOD glitch with the beige 'fishtail' parked cars. [*] Adjusted placement and scale range for palm trees around the map.
