What are the important features of ORC?
Physics
The absolutely most important feature is the accurate, constraint-based Vehicle Dynamics Engine that has been developed by Dr. Gregor Veble.
Networking
The network engine has been developed to reduce the effects of lag in order to ensure close and fun racing
Graphics
An advanced shader based lighting model will bring the models to life, helping you feel part of the action
Rankings / Achievements
There are a number of goals for your to achieve in your racing career, you will able to view your achievements and how you rank against your friends and rivals. It will all be available without leaving the game!
When will ORC be available?
Unfortunately due to the way we are funded (i.e. not at all) our lead developer has had to get a full time job to pay the bills, this means that progress on ORC will be slow for a while. We hope we can find a way to work on ORC and still pay the bills . This means that the completion date is not known at this time

Hi Folks, I'm going to open up the alpha test forum for a while if you are interested in giving ORC a drive. Note, it's VERY much a TEST build at the moment, lots to do, but I'd like to get enough people to have some full Multiplayer servers to test the net code.
You'll need a reasonably quick PC, preferably with a decent graphics card, although my 2 year old laptop with a built-in intel card runs it at ~50fps in singleplayer at least.
I would like to get enough players to get decent feedback, but not so many that I am overwhelmed (I am working part-time to pay the bills)

We have released a new alpha build that will hopefully address a couple of controller assignment problems that people have been having. Sign up at the ORC Alpha forums to download the latest build: -http://siroccoracing.com/forums . Please report any problems you have (big or small) as we want to keep ORC improving Emoticon smile
