* ProcessHazards : Side obstacles trigger less forwards and remain front obstacles longer
* Decrease the offroading speed penalty ( up to 40% decreased speed down from 80% speed decrease over 10 lateral meters instead of 5 ).
* ProcessHazards : Update dangerous obstacle avoidance to keep track of the road limits more and stay more often in the road if possible
* 2D Geometry box is now much more forwards and slightly larger ( 0.75 from 0.5 width and 5 meters from 0.5 meters ). This should greatly stimulate steering away from obstacles in events when front to back contact might happen.
* Modified code that tended to cap speed when behind other cars and would often prevent cars from passing when right behind another car.

* LMP 2, LMP1: Removed caster from suspension geometry, let garage settings do the amount. A450- reset eyepoint back fro better road view.
* Formula C: Lessend the cold drop off on the R24_DA tire a bit per some WMD feedback. Fixed spindle position relative to ball joint pivots. Was causing some scrub.
* BAC Mono: Removed caster from the suspension geometry to let the garage setting handle it. Decresed the spindle weight, increased spindle inertia's. Helps how hard the FFB was hitting the curb rumbles.
* All Cars: Second round of suspension cleanup removing any built in caster to let the garage setting only handle it. No suspension geometry changes. Check weights and inertias for all components and adjust if needed. Lastly tweak the FFB forces.
* Radical SR3, Radical SR8: New setups. Shortened the bump stop. The fronts were bottoming under light braking and heavy cornering. Very slight bumpsteer adjustments to the front. Re adjusted the setup on both cars for the freerer front ends. TheSR3 had some bad exit oversteer thats now fixed. Adjusted the AI speeds on both cars.
* Mercedes SLS GT3: Cleaned up the suspension geoemetry for bump steer and A-Arm angle. removed some Anti-dive which was a bit too much and causing alot of caster gain in bump giving this car muted heavy feel. Raised the rear inner pickup points to get the lower arm closer to paralell to the ground. Agian removed some of the anti-squat, causing some toein bump steer that was hard to remove otherwise. Readjusted the setup a bit for these changes as the car turned in noticably better.
* BMW 320 Group 5, Ford Capri Group 5: Both cars got similar treatment. Sorted through the chassis' using too much built in bumpstop combined with soft spring. They drove OK, but my new CSW V2 was immediately telling me the supensions were bottoming when the FFB went flat in the dips at Lakeville.. AI was having trouble too with the bottoming becuase they only use the springs which were on the soft side. Anyways, reduced the bumpstops so they are just preventing bottoming. Then re-sprung the cars with stiffer springs. The cars actually feel a bit softer, because it was using so much of the bumpstop before. Tweaked the setup and FFB to suit. Moved the eyepoint back on the Capri for better road and mirror view.
Tracks:
* Dubai Autodrome: Crowds placement update
* Chesterfield: Fixed bug WMD-2522 collisions

* Lakeville: New AIW racelines and corridor tweaking. Great fun these tracks are if you haven't tried them yet, or lately, give them a go. There is some problems with the AI starts (slow , lots of grass jumping) for Chris to look at.
* California Horse Theif Mile: New complete AIW. Has a decent raceline, but this track is really crazy. It has some bad triangles in the hairpins that cause the AI and the human car to practiclly bounce off the track. Needs the track team to do more work on it. Also fixes JIRA WMD 3577

* Corrected inconsistent local player usage for penalties. As the HUD messaging is now checked internally for the local player, and the pit penalty event ensures it will be processed for, and by the right clients- there is no longer a need for this check. Note: This change is related to Jira WMD-3423, but is not directly a fix for that.
Characters/Props/Animations:
* Wheels Props meshes - shadow parameters adjusted
Cameras:
* Tracking camera FOV driven by spline corrected, now manual zoom processing is ignored when spline is in control, unless AutoZoom is enabled, then spline zoom values are ignored

* Formula A, BAC Mono: AI damper work for lfoaty suspension on the BAC. The FA is a test for consoles stabilty.
* 125CC Shifter Kart: Removed caster from suspension geometry, set garage @ 13 deg. This seemed about right for predictable corner balance. The previous double caster was over 20deg. Adjusted down the rear chassis stiffness for balance. Adjusted the AI handling balance and speed to the player. Lowered AI rolling resistance to match player top speeds.
* Formula C: Per Nick - Tuned the FFB to get the center tighter once rolling. Added SoP differential (vertical) equal to Fz to expose more of Mz(self aligning torque) Thanks To Jake Spade here on WMD for that information. Also dropped Fx to soften some of the rattling. Re tuned the AI tire grip to match player performance on the R24_DA tires. Some AI damper work to fix the floaty looking supension.
* BAC Mono: Changes for drivabilty. Moved aero CoP back 70mm. New tire. Better inflation shape numbers to fit the pressure used (which is correct). Slightly stiffer carcass. Cut cold dropoff in half. Less adhesive grip, more tear grip (for when sliding). Makes for a more predicatible, more convincing (for what this car is) ride. Also moved the eyepoint back just a bit to see more of the mirrors. Enjoy.

Build 881 (18/12/14) - ? MB
Physics:
* Street tires - stiffened spring rate on the Supercars, etc tires using an explicit rate instead of auto calculating. Backed off the carcass stiffness of the FWD tires from yesterday to more in line with these
* Fixed DetachableCarComponents crash when PxActor is deleted before corresponding flapping joint
* 80's GT Tires: Final tests and calibration of wear rates, slight heating adjustments. Made sure all latest tech and thinking is applied. Both compounds a great drive on all three cars
* FWD, 4WD cars - Built a stiffer tire carcass translationally and wraparound. One big change was explicitly putting the tire spring rate in instead of letting the code do the auto load stiffnes . I don't think thats working quite right and was leaving the street carcass' on the soft side. The bigger supercars have this to. I'll get to them tommorow and see what it brings to them. Did the suspensnion sweep for caster and inertia's changes, then reset the FFB where needed. Reset the AI speeds with grip changes were needed. The Mitsu EVO is the class of this field hand down. It also defaults to the stickier tire, which combined with the most power and 4wd makes it hard to beat
GUI:
* Fixes monitor gamercard display. Also fixes menu size in video setting menu
* Added applink to turn off the Fill with AI MP option
* Y button assigned to change camera on Instant Replay
* Updated QRW and Lobby selection dialogs

* No longer penalising player for excessive damage under any variation of racing rules
* Prevented remaining Pit messages being displayed on tracks that dont have a pit lane
* Ensure PitManager is aware of session advancement and resets itself accordingly
* Fixed various bugs in leaderboard up/down paging (events, console time trial, Steam leaderboards, Steam time trial ghosts screens)
Next Gen:
* PS4 trophy text corrections
* Highlighting layouts is now clearer, Auto Clutch option re-added to Edit Controls screen, filter locations dropdown now wider/tidier, Grid Size removed from Xbox One

Physics:
* BAC MONO: AI speed slowed to better match player.
* Palmer Jaguar: Increased AI speed about 1 sec per lap.
* Mclaren 12C GT3: Small eyepoint adjustment further back
* BMW M3 GT, BMW 1M: Adjusted spindle inertia's, increased FFB strength
* BMW 1M: New setup, stiffer bumpstops and springs for bottoming problems. Better balance.
* RUF RGT8 GT3: Safer bumpstops to remove alot of the bouncing from early contact on bumpy tracks.
* Caterham SP300R: Slowed the AI speed to close match theplayer. No changes to the player car. Works great.
* Radical SR8X/SR3: Slight drag profile change. Moved more towards rear. Helps stabilize the back end in high speed.
* Ginetta G40: Slowed AI speed to match player car better. Stiffened front swaybar 1 notch to reduce oversteer, Increased FFB strength.
* Ariel Atom V8, 300: Added a different rear carcass to handle the rear heavy weight better instead fo sharing it with the Caterham R500. Reduced wear as reported on WMD forums.
* LMP1's, Audi R18: Adjusted default setups to work at Lemans without dragging the skid plates or running out of gearing. Top speeds 188-190mph now with the defualt medium (5/5) wings. Was previously only getting 175 from bottoming. Handling not really affected. Still handles great at tighter tracks. Also tested at Oulton Park.
* Supercars: Pagani, Maclaren's, Gumpert, Merc SLS, Audi V-10 - More tweaking of the tire caracass. BoP changes so the P1 is a little faster than the Huayra. Other car got tweake sto for drivabiltly. Suspension gone through for caster and geometry, bump steers and scrub raduis. A general making sure all the cars work and make sense with the newest tire.
* FWD, 4WD cars: New front geometry with negative scrub radius. Take what Casey did even further. Seem to have solved the weird feel of the FWD cars FFB and tucking in under power now seems to work at least a reasonable amount. 4WD suspensions got some of that plus the front roll center was higher than the rear (a-arm angles) which was probably causing the up on 2 wheels reports from the Lancer.
* Formula C: Added latest carcass to rain tires. Tweaked wet compound to suit. Reduced differential lock to help last bit of turnin understeer., Changed the steering geometry for more ackerman. Noticed this at Azure circuit. Low speed understeer. New tire carcass to handle camber and temps better. The outside of tires were hot with more than enough negative camber. Small setup change to suit.. New setup for newest tire. Stiffer rear springs. Shortened scrub radius to 20mm. Lowered 4th, 5th, 6th gears to be more usable with the defualt wings. Set defaut tire to be the latest.
* GT3 Cars: BoP Adjustments. Shouldn't be so clear now as to which car is always fastest. Most got small aero drag/downforce adjustments. The Mercedes got more power as it didn't match the listed power and it showed in game. Lots of work on the default setups first before any adjusting. Fwiw, I was fastest in the RGT8, then the Aston, Mclaren,Z4. But all cars for me are within 1 second. Tested at Dubai International, so I'm sure the cars speeds will be more track specific. SLS should do well at the longer tracks. No changes to the tires, although I'm pretty convinced we at least should add more cold drop off. First we'll test this.
* Ford Mustang Trans Am: New suspension geometry, removed double caster, changed to front steer. better rear axle geomtry to handle the drive shaft torque. New setup witha better shock package. Damper knees changed to 60/70 and 70/70 F/R. Developed a new bias belt tire carcass and compound that made more sense to me. Having driven a GT1 Camaro thats very similar to this I can say it more closely matches how they feel. They were extremely easy to drive and were softly sprung and well damped. Handled the power with no drama. Awesome car to drive now. My less than alien times match pretty well with what they were doing at RA and Watkins Short back then.

Slight changes to the previous tire carcass and grips. Opened adjustments for the front and rear "torsion bar" chassis stiffeners ( swaybars in our setup screens). Caster adjustment back to 20 degrees. Ride heights now adjustable as on the real Karts. I think it's close to hitting the mark everyone's been so great feeding back on. Default setup was done at Greenwood. After tuning the caster for the right amount of turn in, tire pressures are your best friend for over/under steer in the faster stuff.. Cool to see the inside rear tire lift in the replays both player and AI karts. AI tuned more and working better. Had some fun races agianst 9 Karts at Greenwood with the new AIW i just did. Enjoy!

Basiclly no real change to the grip except slight iincrease in tear grip and lower adhesive, plus Softer SETA hardness. Stiffened the overall chassis. Locked the adjustments for the Springs/dampers. Moved the brake bias to 50% so theAI would stop spinning braking hard into corners. You might want to move it back to 60% for your own driving. Tweaked the FFB. Takes about 3 laps for the tires to warm up. Not sure it's exactly right yet, but a good change for the better re understeer.. AI works much, much better too.

* Fix WMD-4129 - XB1/PS4 - UI - Online - Changes made under weather in Lobby do not reflect on the Weather Tile
* PS4: Fixed potential crash on jpeg encoder. Added variable compression ratio to stop it returning 'internal data error' all the time. Added gamma correction texture copy as 1010102 don't convert properly in hardware. Fixed rgb encoding order. WMD-5149 WMD-5090
Dedicated Server (WIP):
* Fixed DS list logging flags in wrong order.
* Rebuilt Linux executable with latest code and protocol version.
* Fixed dedicated server browsing to skip DS with mismatching protocol version.
* WMD-4772: Implemented peer rebroadcasting, used when the online platform can't establish full peer-to-peer connectivity mesh:
* Updated ping stat structures to maintain recent packet loss in addition to total packet loss. Recent packet loss is used in most places instead of total. Improved ping stats collection to ignore ping probes belonging to older ping batches.
* The Sabre networking layer now monitors all connections and if connectivity to another session member can't be established or fails, it tries to find another member to use as the rebroadcast peer.
* The rebroadcast peer must report direct connectivity to both sender and recipient members as working, if the peer ever leaves or reports issues another candidate will be picked.
* Modified recipient structures to also contain information about rebroadcast peers to use.
* Modified Steam/XB1/PS4 p2p networking protocol to support rebroadcasting via intermediate peers, using the above infromatio to decide what to send where.
* Protocols using dedicated servers ignore peer rebroadcasting information since they rebroadcast through the dedicated server anyway.
* Bumped protocol version to 43.
