Here’s a new development news update for CarX Drift Racing Online 2!
We have several exciting things we’d like to share with you!
Today, we want to show you several features currently in development: the second part of Drift School, glass customization, heat haze and brake disc heating effects, and the tuning stand during a run.
Drift School
The first part of Drift School teaches the basics through individual exercises, while the second part introduces players to competitive XDS rules: - the same lessons are now judged according to real competition criteria, with a penalty point limit for each criterion
- starting from lesson seven, tandem runs are introduced, with the player taking the chase position. You’ll need to maintain the correct distance from the lead car and synchronize your initiations and transitions.
Window Customization
You can already change the color of various lighting elements in the Paint Shop. We’re currently working on support for different headlight materials and improving window geometry to expand customization options:
New Visual Effects
We’re also continuing to improve the visual side of the cars. Heat haze and brake disc heating effects are currently in development:
Tuning Stand During a Run
We’re working on a prototype for a new garage that will also be used as a service park.
The service park is an area where you can switch and tune your car without leaving the run.
In our latest patches, we continued updating the Alpha-test branch: we improved the Livery Editor, added layer masks, and made several fixes to the new physics.
We also improved cloud quality and shadow draw distance, added an option to disable the cursor during a run, and fixed several gameplay and UI issues.
The Physics-test branch is now closed. Alpha-test is now the active branch featuring the new physics.
