This is a small update I wanted to get out before the start of the SNHL season.

It has various bugfixes and one feature that I assume most people will find useful. It's now possible, after joining a server, to download other driver's boat paint schemes that you are missing (as long as it's on the google drive).

Windows Download
Linux Download
Mac Download

v0.7.1.0

Added

• Added ability to bind leaving the course to a button (Must hold for 1 second)
• Added ability to download paint schemes for boats on server that are missing, so long as it's using a team paint scheme that is uploaded to the google drive.

Fixed

• Fixed bug with wave height queries on linux.
• Fixed bug with FFB plugin breaking the game on linux/mac.
• Fixed bug with center of mass not being calculated correctly on linux.
• Fixed issue with the height of the prop/skidfin spray emitters not being at the correct height on the Unlimited model.
• Fixed fog rendering on water.
• Fixed water reflection distortion.
• Fixed bug with race standings sorting.

Yes, I do plan on adding vintage boats. Currently working on GP boats though.

@fouga60 This game is essentially just my hobby, I don't have the time or resources to develop a console game.

@mitch81 Hey Mitch, not sure why you can't message anyone on discord, it looks like you have access to the chat now (as far as I can tell).

We mostly organize through discord now. What exactly is going wrong on discord? Maybe I can help?

@rick55_55 Thanks for the file. Unity should be able to create a default mapping from the HID data, it seems to not work particularly well though.

The force feedback works because I wrote a plugin myself to interface with DirectInput to implement that. For some reason Unity opted to not use DirectInput for their new input system, instead I think it's just grabbing raw data from the USB HID interface. Their steering wheel support is currently kind of lacking.

I can try to create a config file from what you sent that might work.

@connor Sorry I didn't notice this post, what exactly is the problem? As far as I know Xbox 360 or Xbox One controllers should "just work" in windows. Maybe you need to install additional drivers? Which Xbox controller is it?

Here's a setup I was working on for Lane 1, seems like it might work for Lane 2 also:
Lane1-ScottP.set

Can run 152s in Lane 1 and consistent 155s running a wider line in Default wind.

Any setup files (.set) can be downloaded from here and placed into the appropriate track folder in
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\HydroSim\HydroSim\Setups. (This path can be pasted into the Windows File Explorer address bar.)

Any .set files in here will be available via the Load button in the setup menu of the game.

Here's some setups I've made while practicing for the H1 E-League race:

Qualifying: Qualifying.set
Lane 2-3: Lane23.set
Lane 1: Lane1.set

@rustygears I'm not sure, I'm in the process of switching the game over to using Unity's new input system. Have you tried the control tester app that I put up in this thread http://www.uhlhydroplanes.com/topic/239/unity-new-input-system-testing
