Full Controller Support
The Flow Gear Racing control system has been switched completely from slope steering to full controller supported controls, which enables a more immersive experience to control your ship including brake and turbo booster. Also the track builder has been switched to full controller support. The default controller bindings have been updated for the most common controllers. The controller support is fully compatible to the Steam VR Input System. So you can customize your controller bindings or add your own controllers in the SteamVR settings as usual:
So you can look around freely in cockpit while in race. The days of headache are gone!
Another major issue addresses the single player mode:
Race against AI opponents and your best time ghost racer
From now on you compete against six other AI opponents with different skill levels. Additionally you have to beat your own best time not only on the leaderboards but against your ghost racer as well, which represents your best track time so far.Further issues addressed:
User Interface / Head Up Display
- Reordered the race tracks menu according to their increasing level of difficulty
- Ingame Head Up Display has been attached to the ship for better overview instead moving it with your head direction
- New flight controls described in "How To Play"
- External camera views, orientation and movement controls have been updated. Moves were smoothed to prevent motion sickness
Graphics
- Color correction performed for more a more intense experience
- Improved anti aliasing in the VR environment
Music / Sound FX
- Ingame music has been added and the possibility to turn music off in the preferences as well, when you only want to listen to Sound FX
Other Fixes and polishing
- The global leaderboard entries are now displayed player-centered
- The demo version has also been updated to get the new flight experience
