Custom Map Import

  • Free Build now supports importing PNG grayscale heightmaps to generate terrain, along with imagery overlays. Bring familiar landscapes into your road-building projects.

Live Weather and Terrain Visuals

  • Adjust weather and environmental settings in real time while building.
  • Refined the terrain material system and textures, with improved visual transitions between near and distant terrain.

Road, Slope, and Culvert Editing

  • Planar road-design interactions have moved into the viewport, so roads and alignment elements can be edited directly in the scene. This interaction is still being iterated on.
  • Updated artificial-slope editing: select slope sections in the viewport, adjust bench width and slope shape, and preview changes as you edit. This interaction is still being iterated on.
  • Added open and closed culverts with adjustable parameters, and improved how culverts connect with roads, slopes, and terrain.
  • Improved bridge and tunnel editing, including bridge span adjustments and configurable tunnel portal length.

Driving and Language Support

  • Press I to start cautious cruise autopilot.
  • Press P to shift into Park.
  • Added Korean localization.

More Improvements

  • Continued improvements to terrain rendering and texture transitions, along with performance and stability fixes for road, slope, and culvert editing.
  • Optimized scene performance for smoother gameplay in complex scenes.

Experimental Feature: AI Traffic
