Beta4 and the future

[EVO]

It's difficult to estimate the number of days to release. In the meantime, a little "appetizer":

not only will my computer not be able to handle this but nor will me driving abiltiy. lol.  Thats is amazing.  I have never seen that before in a sim.  Awesome work

[Aritz]

How does the "support for multiple track layouts and layout editor" works? What about self created tracks?

[The Iceman Marco]

It's awesome!

I am really surprised with the new feature...I really am

I am thinking about how are going to wear the wet tyres when the track is drying. I often see this kind of problems on the races, first the track is completely wet but you know how the races are... very long waitings seated on the kart and "when is going to start this f**** race?". Meanwhile the track dries and your wet tyres are no longer needed for the race but you cannot change them! You start the race and first you drive faster than the braves who chosen the dry tyres, but in a few laps, your tyres blow up and the race is over for you... Will the KRP wet tyres work like the real life?

Not so surprising. With dynamic rubber build-up done making the wet track dry is not difficult.
In KRP wet tires on dry track get very hot and wear much faster, but they never blow up.
Your feedback is needed to know if they are realistic or not.


P.S.
Is KRP the first sim/game to have fully dynamic surface? GP3 and SBK X and F1 2010 all had some kind of "evolving" track, but was it pre-calculated on the racing line only?

I think it is the first SIM with a fully dynamic surface!

Will the track be completey dry after a certain time? Or is it just the idealline which is dry during the whole race?

The whole track slowly gets dry.

Brilliant

More videos, like the drying in fast speed for example, will be great to watch You are creating a big expectation in other sims forums

This video is quite poor. It doesn't show the actual drying nor the fact that the feature is fully dynamic. And the external camera is not spectacular.
But this was meant for internal use only, until someone pressed to publish it 
Anyway, the plan is to release Beta4 as soon as possible, not to make more videos.

Woah great 

I have a question though, will there be areas on the track where the water creates puddles which last longer and other areas which dry up way faster because of the tracks slope?

I think he means, the fact that krp has dynamic track surface will raise expectations for all the other sims around or future ones.

[Nitrox]

This looks epic!

I play F1 2010/2011 and can confirm that there is something like dynamic weather and rubber too. However, it feels rather scripted. It's more a change of the general grip level than more grip on ideal line vs. less on the other parts of the track. Drying track is ok. I hope (and know) that KRP will do better

No. Puddles are a visual effect only.

[Aritz]

It looks like hard to do then fine. Do the puddles texture go to a only wet (black) texture one? Then the black wet area will disappear where the karts pass?

I am impatient, sorry! lol

What can I say is FANTASTIC. This sim is and will be the best sim.

AFAIK, PiBoSo, GTR2 also featured this. But, from my memories, it was rather a scripted thing as well. The more you race in the track, the more "rubbered" the track gets, up to a limit, and then you can go faster.
