Detailed changelog

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

New and improved features:

- Added a multiplayer demo feature. This allows unlicensed users to drive the Formula1600 car on all tracks offline and on all tracks online.

- Enabled AIM screen when driving in unlicensed mode (offline and online).

- Added topbar added with current standings (only in normal mode, not visible in FullMode).

- Enabled admin control in multiplayer races (allows moving to next session and restart session).

- Reintroduced flatspotting (locking your tires will cause flatspots on your tires resulting feedback effects from the tires).

- Added option to finetune the presentation of the topbar.

- Enabled Doom mode on track (only when the car is stopped).

- Enabled loading a setup from inside the simulator.

- Enabled saving a setup from inside the simulator.

- Enabled possibility to select a skin from inside the simulator.

- Enabled fuel time for adding fuel to the car (1 second per litre) in FullMode.

- Improved front wing configuration settings for Formula2000 and FTarget.

- Implemented click and hold fast parameter change in setup screens.

- Collision dectection code for body/wall/ground/remote cars up to 5.5x times faster.

- Changed the formula to calculate Slip Angles to a more precise one. Differences are minimal but the car might feel slightly different on the limit.

- Changed the coast torque for all the cars to a more gradual curve.

- Changed shadow map size for car shadows to 256x256. Users can set it using the file cfg/nkpro.ini.

- Added anti-alias option in video options.

- Audio crossfade range was increased to 1500 rpm to reduce audio cracks.

- New algorithm to distribute skid sounds left and right based on load.

- Added new force feedback configuration in setup (in misc).

- Added new force feedback mode 'hardmode' (in nkpro.ini).

- Added option to load the sim with all systems running already (in options).

- Changed setup system. Now possible to define seperate settings for rear suspension (left and right).

- Setup system now shows indication of highest possible topspeed and topspeed per gear.

- The car is not going into "super damped" mode when stopped anymore. New stationary friction code is used at 0 speed. Car is more responsive to setup changes (moving up and down while changing springs) and engine roll torque.

- Darkened helmet visor for more realism.

- Added virtual mirror option in setup.

- Added more flexibility in selecting the field-of-view (to allow multiple monitor setups).

- Removed join lag (hardly noticable now).

- Added tyre locking (also visible).

- Changed doom mode. You can't walk through walls anymore to increase realism.

- Added option to load a different setup during the waiting time of a FullMode session (not when the session has started). Waiting time has become the actual time between sessions, in reality often 24 hours.

- Damage incurred in qualifying is fixed when the server changed to waiting time for the race session.

- Improved force feedback system.

- Added new 'hardmode' as force feedback option.

- Improved and finetuned cars physics in general.

- Enabled the option to define different sky for new tracks.

- Added brake fade feature (using brakes too much will cause wear and fading brakes).
