This version has some big changes, especially with physics, so while the physics is being tuned, beta versions will be linked here.
Note: The boats engine no longer starts automatically, you must press the ignition button / key (Default is
I, can be re-mapped in the Input dialog).
v0.7.0.0-b14
Fixed
- Fixed bug (hopefully) where boat could get launched into the stratosphere.
- Fixed bug (hopefully) where other client boats would start vibrating, lose their roostertail and sounds weird?
I believe both of the above bugs were caused by certain situations where the tunnel physics could erroneously generate large amounts of negative lift. I think this fix may also make the boat feel less bouncy.
- Fixed bug where boat could sink / get stuck to the bottom underwater.
- Fixed bug where boats would move backwards to the dock spawn, when driving away from the pits.
- Fixed issue where the replay time could cover the admin submit button. It may still get covered in some weird resolutions.
- Fixed a bug when getting disconnected from the server while driving. If you re-joined the server, the UI would still look like you were on the water.
Updated
- Tweaked wake particles by adding randomness to their velocities so they spread out over time instead of staying in a straight line.
Added
- Added ability to change target frame rate to use VSync or limit to custom FPS.
v0.7.0.0-b13
Fixed
- Fixed bug where the skidfin spray emitter was rotated 90 degrees.
- Fixed bug where the clock on the client wasn't syncing to the server correctly.
Updated
- Canard now acts as a total lift multiplier instead of changing input velocity.
- Shrunk the width (front to back) of the rudder
- Tweaked water dynamic force properties
Added
- Added ability for server admin to change the wind speed which also affects the water roughness.
v0.7.0.0-b12
Fixed
- Fixed a bug where pausing the replay, then joining the course would cause emitted particles to freeze in place.
Updated
- Physics tweaks to try and make turning faster, less bouncy, a little easier to keep the boat from flipping.
v0.7.0.0-b11
Fixed
- Fixed VR issues at several courses.
- Fixed reflection probes at all courses.
- Fixed bug where turning the engine off and then back on would act as a brake.
- Changed how timing is calculated to hopefully fix the time dilation issues on the server.
- Tweaked netcode prediction code to try and make it more accurate.
Updated
- Completely re-modeled the hydroplane physics mesh using real world measurements. Re-positioned rudder / prop (will need to de-couple this from the rendered model).
- Tweaked engine torque curve and other physics properties a bit.
- Change shaft angle range back to 6 - 8 degrees.
- Added ability to adjust left/right runner angles in the setup.
v0.7.0.0-b10
Fixed
- Fixed bug where boat would sometimes sink to the bottom of the water after leaving and re-joining the course.
- Fixed a long standing bug with the tunnel physics on dedicated server.
Updated
- Tweaked tunnel physics some more, should be a little more forgiving, boat still seems to bounce too much sometimes though.
- Updated water physics to increase fluid density based on velocity of the triangle, this should make the water feel harder when the boat is going faster.
- Tweaked some of the netcode smoothing now that some tunnel issues are fixed.
- Prop shaft setup range is now 4 - 6 degrees.
- Skidfin angle range is now 12 - 20 degrees
v0.7.0.0-b9
Note: This update drastically affects the way the boat flies and how the canard control works. It should be more realistic now.
Fixed
- Fixed a bug with audio in replays.
- Fixed some broken Team.xml files.
- Fixed a bug with the tunnel physics that wasn't properly taking into account the orientation of the boat.
- Unity version was updated, Cross-compiling to Mac works again, so I've created a Mac build (I still do not own a Mac to test this with)
Updated
- Updated the physics mesh to better reflect the model at the back-end of the boat.
- Canard now affects the input velocity into the tunnel simulation instead of just being a multiplier on the output.
- Tweaked tunnel and propeller physics properties some more.
v0.7.0.0-b8
Updated
- New engine and propeller physics simulation. Huge thanks to @ToddWasson for helping me implement this! The propeller is now simulated by spinning a semi-propeller shaped mesh and applying forces on the submerged triangles. This then provides a load to feed back into the engine simulation.
- Lots of physics changes, trying to make cornering more realistic (faster and less slidey).
- Updated Cinemachine, has fixes to help smooth out some camera jittering.
- Updated Crest water library.
- Tweaks to default water properties, made more directional.
Added
- Added boat setups, can now change the prop pitch, diameter, shaft angle, gear ratios, and skidfin angles.
- New spawning system, added trailers to spawn boats in the pits when joining the server. Spawn location can be changed by pressing
Ctrl+S. - Added engine ignition (Defaults to
Ikey, can be re-mapped in the Input dialog). - Added ability to reload textures while in game to help with painting boats, you can update the DDS files in the Team folder and then press
Ctrl+Rto reload the textures of the boat that is the camera target.
Fixed
- Fixed issues with timing planes at Lake Havasu.
- Performance issues caused by terrain when zooming in really far.
