When installing Kart Racing Pro, please make sure to keep the "OpenAL 1.1 Redist Installer" checkbox ticked in the "OpenAL Installer" page.

You have a new PM.

The Kart Racing Pro standalone license to Steam key conversion page is temporarily unreachable due to issues with the web server. The hosting company is working to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

In the meantime, a temporary conversion page has been set up at this link: https://www.piboso.com/krp/steam.php

Thank you for the report.

Release notes updated.

First post updated to add "no_tucking" to "settings" and to add "disable" and "persistent" to "dynamicsurface".

It is possible to change the additional directory where mods can be installed:

Code Select Expand

[mods]
folder= d:\krp\mods

If "folder" is empty then the directory "My Documents"\PiBoSo\Kart Racing Pro\mods\ is used.

Removing the two lines forces Kart Racing Pro to search mods only inside the installation folder.

eKart registered for stats:

There isnt any level battery in the dash, it is impossible to know how much level battery I run? is there rechearge with throttle up?

It's not possible to know the battery level while on track.
At the moment recuperation is not simulated.

Thanks Piboso!
