In the last update I mentioned that I would be working on something different and here it is, Racing Legends recreation of the Lotus Team Transporter as used by Team Lotus between 1968 and 1971. It is currently just the body that has been done, and that is not complete yet. The image below shows it how it stands at the moment. The rest of the work this month has been dedicated to in-game presentation and the user interface. Over the past year I have had various goes at sorting this out and I think I have now found something that we like. Its not really practical, or very interesting to show any of this at this time so I will hold off on this until it has been integrated into the sim.
Programming wise what has been occurring? Gregor has been adding to the physics engine with the result being that 'motorcycle legends' is now possible :O) I not really sure how he does it I just know we are really glad he does. There has also been some theorising and testing of some new multiplayer ideas to help minimise the dreaded lag that spoils the experience of online racing. Its early days but so far the results are very promising. Chris has been doing more work on the inverse kinematic system and the implementing 3D into the user interface. He also have a nice new text rendering system that allows us to use any font in any size and any style. All this should make it easy for users to customise the interface to their own preference. To finish with a number of people have asked to see more of the garage area so here is a different angle. I can't show anymore than this at the moment as the model stops just off each edge of the picture. I will show more once the builders return! That's it for this update. During the next month we plan to get the user interface up and working and I hope to get some more done on the transporter.
