We've got smoooooke  Thank you very much PiBoSo that was pretty quick, regarding how long Beta 12 needed.

thanks piboso

I imagine this was pushed out quickly to get Lotus Karts in the sim, but I am curious. When we will be able to get a new build with multiplayer fixes and improvements? Being able to see more than 12 karts would be very helpful, along with less lag between karts through the connection.

Did this change any of the file system, and will mods still work?
Thanks for implementing the exhaust smoke, can't wait to try it out!

+1 This would be a VERY nice aspect have some development on

Also, how is exhaust smoke implemented? Is it based off of an object or a configuration setting with the engines?

Tyres, chassis and bodyworks need to be updated.

So... smokes only on ignition, and not at low revs? ah that's awkward.

So... smokes only on ignition, and not at low revs? ah that's awkward.

I feel the same way. Was playing around with it and seems like you are going to have to increase the max rpm to ~6500/7500 and you will get the results you are looking for on the starts and everything. That's what I noticed when playing around with it. The nature of the smoke rendering appears to have it set so the smoke is stronger towards the bottom and thins as it approaches the max (calculus equation, such as limit as "X" (rpm value) approaches maximum ax rpm set in config) and it looks to use a parabolic/polynomial equation to determine the drop off. Then again, it could be completely different from that, but that is what I have observed. I personally really like it, and it will be implemented in the Rotax, but overall great work, PiBoSo!

Here are my thoughts:
I really like being able to see more than 100 tracks (or whatever limit was previously set)
The Lotus Kart is spectacular!
The new adjustments in front/rear hubs is good, but why was caster limited to 21 degrees now? It was at 28 before, and worked well.
Overall awesome job!

Now for questions: what is automatic ballast adjustment? How does it function?

Thanks for keeping us up to date and adding awesome content! Keep it up, your work is appreciated!

28 degrees caster was not realistic.
Ballast is now automatically calculated and added if the total mass is under the "minimummass" set in each kart.
