[HO] Project CARS

Base:
* Updated BXmlNode to provide access to arbitrary user data
* Added BDbgFatalNoReturn. Which is a version of BDbgFatal with the platform no return specifier
Race weekend:
* Session saving & restoring
Debug menu:
* Enabled extra controls in debug menu for displaying average luminance value
Physics:
* Pass dynamic live air pressure values to physics systems
* Vehicle dynamics updates:
* Volumetric throttle modelling
* Tweakers for throttle response
* Non-gold csv export of brakemapping and torque volumetric data
* New algorithm for engine load used by audio systems
* Adjustable brake mapping and restrictor plates
* Ambient pressure considered as part of throttle response
* Per vehicle EDF updates to use new systems
* Updated switch from loading state to race to proceed physics sync immediately
Environment:
* Added controls to allow us to be able to scale the lighting on vehicles
* Added 15 percent saturation to clear 3 with new colour cube
* Clear 03 yellow sun tint reduced a touch
* Clear 02 emap boost/ambient reduced so that it can be compared to higher value in clear 05
* Clear 3 sun colour test, has more yellow hued sun in the day
* WTC updates so that sunny and medium cloud conditions have brighter sun, more tone mapping adjustment, more blue sheen at midday and several other tweaks for daytime lighting
Replays:
* Updated participant snapshot version number. Should fix EOR replays
Shaders:
* Shader changes to take into account new scalers for vehicle lighting
Audio:
* Got a lot further with the distant echo, amplitude rolloff and LPF occlusion for the the external engines, backfires, splutters and gearshift sounds of the 4 testbed cars (Caterham R500, Zonda R, Formula A and Capri Group 5). I've also done a quick pass on the engine dynamics in an attempt to create a more realistic ramp in volume and engine loads. The Capri Group 5 engine no longer has the weird popping sound like its misfiring
GUI:
* New icon for Edit HUD
Tracks:
* Northampton Classic: New road and runoff materials, reworked pit buildings and stands, added grass tufts to runoff area
* Azure Circuit: Moved first garage position to fixed damaging the car on load, added more road patches, seams, improved road textures a bit, back to high rez version of the main road texture and fixed alpha channel, darkened a bit whitelines, created new diving board+added slide and stair/rails to it
* All Track TRDs: Added Altitude data for all track TRDs
* Added new track.... Fort Felix
Vehicles:
* Mercedes SLS GT3: Added placeholder lights and mirrors
* Ford Mustang Boss: Added placeholder lights and mirrors
* Lotus 98T: New modal carcass and Flash tread. Enabled some wear and heating for public testing. Not sure amounts as I'm doing it mostly by feel. Lotus 78 - same caracass and flash changes as the 98T. also has wear and heating enabled

Additional city courses are planed, Felix. But due to the fact that city tracks need much more assets they are about 3-4 times more time consuming to develop than "normal" tracks. Be patient, they will come eventually.

As you guys will see in the build release notes, we did manage to get the new throttle system in for today's build. It's a pretty big change which we think you'll all like A LOT and we're eager to get feedback on it. Here is what to expect:

- Better feel from the throttle pedal at small inputs. This was really the main purpose of the new system; everything else is gravy. Gone is the time of the large 'deadzone' when you start to press the pedal; the engine starts producing positive torque very quickly now and you will have a much larger range for modulation.
- Snappier throttle response at low rpm.
- A car's peak power may vary a bit from track to track. This is because we now use ambient air pressure as part of the engine torque calculations, so things like elevation and weather will have an impact on engine performance.
- Idle speeds fall out of the model naturally and will change slightly from setup and weather.
- The clutch feels a lot better when pulling away from a standstill. Unexpected but really cool side effect. A lot of cars can realistically get rolling with careful modulation of the clutch and no throttle input whatsoever.
- New Brake Mapping slider in the setup screen for all cars. This controls the level of engine braking and is a fairly abstract value. Think of it like a vacuum line connected to the throttle, so that it opens up more at high rpm to relieve some of the intake manifold vacuum (the major source of engine braking torque). All you really need to know is that 0=lots of engine braking and 10+=very little engine braking.
- New Restrictor Size slider in setup screen for some cars. Fun stuff here. This changes the size of the restrictors/throttle bodies on the engine to control the amount of power produced. This will ultimately move out of the setup screen and become part of the event setup, only adjustable by the event administrator. For now it needs to be somewhere everyone can work with for testing. As a result it's possible to create a 600hp Asano X4, for example. Honor system will be required for multiplayer with these cars. Do play around with this on the cars that have it enabled. A particularly cool one is the Caper stock car which has a minimum restrictor size similar to what was used at restrictor plate tracks in 1990. You'll notice that not only does the power level reduce from 650 to 400hp, but it also moves down to a much lower rpm simulating the choking effect of the smaller air aperture. Cool stuff.

de todas formas no tengo consolas en fin toca esperar a la versión final del juego.

CL 293756:
[Aries] Switched to Steamworks version 1.23a.

CL 293755:
[Common][NetServices][Aries] Enabled Steam support in Aries. Implemented optional Steam-based authentication.

If Steam client is running, and the user is allowed to run the Steam build Project CARS, the Steam authentication details are sent to the server in addition to Forum login details. If Steam is not running or the user is not allowed to run Steam version of Project CARS, the game behaves in exactly the same way as before.

Ford Capri Group5, BMW M1. New tires Modal carcass + Flash tread including wear and heating. Some brake map adjustments to the Capri to dial out the rear lockup.. Based the new tires off the work i did on the Lotus 78 and 98T so these came in pretty quickly. Enjoy!

Caterham R500, Caterham Classic. - New Modal carcass and Flash tread for both cars. Tried to clean up some of the wonky handling of the 500 with this release. Has wear and heating enable.
Also increased wear on the previous tires released last week for more effect.

No es eso, sino que el desgaste de las ruedas del L49 no se notará tanto porque son muy duras.
Y sí, es verdad, Fort Felix le viene muy bien a quien quiera marcar brazos este verano . Lo he probado esta tarde con el Fórmula C y, madre mía, hay tramos en los que parece que estás manejando un martillo neumático.

Sobre tema físicas/neumaticos van añadiendo poco a poco el modal carcass y flashtread a los coches que incluye desgaste y calor. :
