[Dev update #3] News and Renault wip release for Patreons

Added 2022-12-08 20:55:27 +0000 UTC

First, I would like to apologise for the lack of news lately.

I (Machina) moved to a new place to start a new life and it took me more time than I thought to set everything and adapt to my new everyday schedule.

With all of that, I didn't had much time to work on the cars but here some news:

Renault Etoile Filante:

Still need to work on the aerodynamics and do a CFD but it should be close the estimated values currently used.
Textures and Shaders need work.
Drivers animations

But everything else is pretty much done. We are close to release.

And we are actually releasing an alpha/wip version for Patreons members-only in a second post right after this one :)

Chaparral 2D :

The Chap (Nurb/LM) version is now in game and we are working on both physics and visuals.

The 2-Speed "Autobox" + Torque converter is a bit of a challenge to make in Assetto Corsa but I think I got something that works nicely now and that the AI can use.

The Chap autobox is an automatic gearbox with torque converter but you have to manually select the gears with the shifter.

The idea was to avoid wheel-spin, improve driver concentration and focus on left foot braking.
It's very fun to drive I must say :)

That's it for the news.

Thank you for your patience and support :)
