Since being back in office after the holidays, we've worked on getting a whole lot more fixes and general polish out to you for the open alpha! The following is the change log for the third patch of the opt-in open alpha, and with a little more than a week of development behind it, it is rather chunky:

• Added folder button for engine exports
  
• Retrofitted new fuel selection to old engines in old databases and imports
  
• Improved displayed data on side stats for cars and engines
  
• Fixed various reliability effects to no longer be affected by quality directly, like stresses and knock
  
• Fixed fixtures moving on car load, connected to hoist position
  
• Fixed various car importing issues
  
• Fixed soundtrack 2019 song never playing in game

Engine Designer

• Changed unlock year of methanol fuel to be available from the start
  
• Changed valve float warning to appear at 10% reliability loss, not 1%
  
• Changed turbo pressure graph to show relative pressure not absolute
  
• Buffed thermal efficiency of early roots superchargers by 4%
  
• Re-enabled compact manifold for roots and screw superchargers
  
• Fixed manifold / header resonances to be based on corrected massflow
  
• Fixed fuel evaporation not properly cooling intake charge for octane requirements
  
• Fixed dyno throttle control to have correct step size and range
  
• Fixed missing inline OHV dynamic logo
  
• Fixed floating superchargers on V60 engines
  
• Fixed a LOD issue with certain intakes

UI Fixes

• Fixed undo function issues when using the gizmo circle
  
• Fixed 2 and 3 keys inconsistently setting 2D/3D fixture state
  
• Fixed comparison demographic being unable to be deselected on trim side stats bar
  
• Fixed UI layering issues new engine/car creation

Multiplayer

• General improvements to multiplayer stability
  
• Fixed scenario timeline breaking in specific circumstances
  
• Fixed issue where host could start playing the game before other players
  
• Made scenarios use demographic nomalized desirability instead of competitiveness

BeamNG Exporter

• Improved supercharger sounds
  
• Fixed issues with fuel economy and engine thermals
  
• Fixed issue with brand not being exported, causing issues in e.g. drag racing events
  
• Probably fixed engines sometimes exporting as invisible
  
• Probably fixed weird triangles coming out of some engines

From here on you can pretty much expect about a weekly cadence to the patches until we start implementing some of the bigger features missing in the alpha.

Cheers!
