New Car Handling and Physics

WheelMates · published

Hey everyone!

We've carefully studied your feedback and prepared a big patch for the demo version that touches on several key mechanics at once.

Car Handling and Physics

We've reworked the car's behavior to make driving more responsive and enjoyable:

  • Increased response speed to steering input. The car now reacts to your actions noticeably faster.

  • Reduced braking when releasing the gas.

  • The car slides along walls better when colliding with them at an angle, resulting in fewer abrupt stops and more smooth sliding.

  • Turns are now smoother thanks to a slight reduction in wheel grip at high speeds.

Camera

Reduced the sharpness of the automatic camera turn during tracking, making the view softer and more comfortable, without unnecessary jerks.

Controller Support

Fixed an issue with Steam Input: the game now correctly displays Xbox-style button icons (XYBA).

We hope these changes make your WheelMates experience more enjoyable. Try the update and let us know what you think!

Thank you to everyone who played and shared their impressions, these changes are largely based on your feedback!
