Open Beta Release 1362: Car Stats & Test Track (Update!)

[Killrob]

1. Install the launcher first, you find it here: ucp.php?i=199
2. Manually install B1353 Full Installer.
3. Start the game via the shortcuts created when you installed the launcher.

That should be working.

This is my first time trying an open beta ever. Is there a way to record error/bugs into a log and then post those instead of manually doing it? you'll probably get much better feedback from a log

[Killrob]

The only tip I can give is that copy-paste works with the lua popup errors you can paste them here directly, but without a proper description, we may not be able to recreate them.

I love the testtrack! w00t. well i only tried the airfield so far (who wouldn't being a TOP Gear fan.) I think it needs to be adjusted though. I was just looking through the new options and build the most crap car and it stormed the track in 1:10.05s.... way way too fast for the POS i built.

Also the time isn't reported at 1:10.05, instead 110.05 but i'm sure you know that already.

Oh, uh i guess you already know some gripes like: the car i just built ways far too little for it's size and year, and also it just performed far too well on that track. even with the stig at the wheel i think it would not have done so well.

110.5 seconds, not one minute 10 seconds or 70 seconds.

Thanks for that. Makes far more sense now lol. I thought there's no way this car will make it around the track that fast. Still 1:40 seems too fast for the car i built. It probably would need another 20 seconds or so.

Instead of starting a new thread, I'd like to make a comment about ride height. Most typical cars (as in not special off-road versions) seem to have a empty ride height of 140mm, yet this game's lowest that I've seen is 168. Can this be adjusted as many cars I've looked at ride ~140mm with a maximum of ~110mm fully laden.

110 seconds is not 1:40 either xD

[SamSheepDoq]

I think the mid engine car body disappeared. I can't find it anywhere now. Did it get removed in the B1353 -> B1354 update?

[Anthrax50551]

This is great haha, Glad Engines finally don't dissapear even though i was Ok with it.

[Killrob]

New patch is out, B1355. Probably the final open beta version if things seem good now.
A new launcher is coming too, it will auto-update when the public release goes live.

D'oh! 1:50... ok, I guess we won't have the truly big american cars until much later? (car i built is not as large as i thought it was heh)

No torrent link for B1355?

[Killrob]

Not yet, it's such a small update that a torrent isn't really needed anyway, just use the normal download for now
