Dopo un lungo silenzio che durava addirittura da febbraio scorso, il buon Piboso torna a rendere felici gli appassionati della simulazione corsaiola su due ruote, rilasciando la nuova versione beta 9 del suo ottimo GP Bikes. La nuova release, come di consueto, ci offre vari bugfix, ma anche alcune migliorie e novità interessanti, come ad esempio l'opzione per confrontare gli assetti, il supporto ad HTC Vive (quello ad Oculus c'era già) ed il nuovo stile di guida "moderno", che potete apprezzare nel video qui sotto. Ricordiamo che l'acquisto della licenza di GP Bikes sblocca anche World Racing Series. GP Bikes is a realistic motorcycle simulator, based on a scratch built physics engine that accurately simulates motorcycle dynamics and setup options. GP Bikes also allows to host and join online races, with an integrated matchmaking server. During events data is collected, to provide statistics for riders' comparison. Features: - automotive industry-standard tyre model - dynamic track surface groove buildup - wet track simulation and dynamic drying - dynamic marbles generation - tyres pickup of marbles, grass and dirt, affecting grip - output of CSV files with telemetry data to analyze riding sessions - a plugins interface allows external programs to receive realtime data from the simulated bike - LAN and online racing. Dedicated server available - advanced users can build new tracks and integrate them with the provided tools If you are interested in GP Bikes, you can download the demo.
