Hi all,

In the version 0.0.19 you will find:

- Background images (one per track !)
- Pit stops for refuel.
    Only the player is able to refuel, but the other drivers will be
modified soon.
    A menu screen with an editable box allows you to choose the amount
of fuel.

- The player is debugged (the reverse gear now works, the manual
transmission
  works, the Front wheels drive car now works and a lot of grip was
added)

- display bug (selected text) was corrected, and other minor bugs also.

Hi all,

There is a great enhancement in the text display speed since I used the
glFont textured fonts instead of GLTT and TTF ones.
This removes two painful dependencies.

The K1999 robot from Remi Coulom is now included and selected by
default.
Be patient during the race loading as K1999 computes the path.

The Joystick Player (human) can be tuned (joy buttons, axis,
sensitivity...)
You can choose the name in the file drivers/human/human.xml.

Some other minor changes were added.

Have fun.
Eric.

Hi all,

The version 0.0.17 is out !
It is not a major improvement but the player's cars are a lot
easier to drive...

The change Log is :

Driver selection corrected.
Player cars behaviour enhanced (IMHO). The nascar is no more spinning
too much.
The cars have a lot more grip and are better balanced to have an
understeer behaviour
instead of an oversteer one.
Camera added for e-track-3 and dirt-2 (use them with F8, F9 and F10
keys).
F12 key for saving a screen shot. It works also in the menus and race
results.
Default display shows only the driver's information and the counter.
The leaders list, fps and G graph are not displayed by default.
(hit F1 to see how to display them)

The [gz] download link is the patch from the 0.0.16b
(78 Kb).

Have fun !
Eric.
