New Damage Model
– Adjustments have been made to improve the New Damage Model on opponent cars, so that it more quickly matches the actual state recorded by the server.
– – Most damage states received from the server are now applied to opponent cars immediately.
– – The exception to this are damage states that would reattach wheels or car parts.
– – – In these cases, the damage state change can be delayed. The reattachment of wheels or car parts will be delayed if the force involved in breaking the part was above a threshold. There is a low and a high threshold with separate delay times. More severe impacts will cause a longer delay, minor impacts will have no delay.
– Fixed an issue where some car-on-car contacts were not creating incidents correctly.
– Fixed an issue where Replays featuring cars that had the New Damage Model at the time and have since been reverted were not loading correctly.
– – Now, whenever loading a Replay, the Simulator will always use the New Damage Model car if that car had ever used it before.
– The allowable hyper-extended distance for the front wheels on all stockcars has been reduced to prevent wheels popping through the hood.
– The allowable hyper-extended distance for the wheels on all open-wheeled cars has been reduced to prevent some odd flipping behavior.
– Hyper-extended suspension will now be reset when a vehicle with this issue enters a pit stall.
– This reset, and possible car hop, should only trigger when there is a hyper extended wheel.
Graphics
– Removed a restriction in the Graphics Settings that prevented negative monitor bezel widths.
