What's new
- AI traffic on the Urban City map
Physics
- Enabled physics state interpolation for dynamic scene objects, which makes smooth object motion for a low physics simulation update frequency
Vehicles
- Improved Solaris bus model and materials
Audio
- Normalized the volume of vehicle sound effects
- Tuned selected car engine sounds
Known issues
The AI system is still in development:
- AI-controlled vehicles are present only on the Urban City map
- The behaviour of AI-controlled vehicles is simple and limited
- AI-controlled vehicles may get stuck on road intersections (deadlock)
- Wheels/tracks don't interact with other vehicle's body
- Some audio effects may be muted in close proximity to other vehicles
- Traffic vehicles are not optimised yet
