Hey everyone!

Welcome to our third Feature Preview! The focus of today's preview is showing off enhancements we have made to the game with update 1.02!

• We heard you LOUD and CLEAR! One of our biggest requests since release was adding native support for manual transmission for controllers. You can now manually shift on any controller! Xbox: While holding RB, press A/B to shift. Playstation: While holding R1, press O/X to shift!
  
• A lot of work has gone into multiplayer synchronization. We have vastly improved position tracking of other players and reduced de-sync causing other players to freeze. Additionally players moving at high speeds will now move more fluently on the road!
  
• Heavy trailers now have a Kingpin for connection. Not only does this add to the visual realism, this also helps to assist bugs with trailer connections!
  
• Finally, the vehicle recovery system has also received enhancements! When a re-spawn point is invalid, it will skip it and try to locate another point to re-spawn, you no longer will re-spawning on the same point!
  

Update 1.02 is in full active development and will arrive with the release of DLC Pack 1. You can find the work-in-progress patch notes for update 1.02 here:

The next Feature Preview is still TBD, but we plan to showcase some brand new enhancements to the camera system, new car paint, and brake pad simulation.

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to our second Feature Preview! The focus of today's preview is showing off changes to vehicle lighting in update 1.02!

• First we are happy to showcase a major request from the community! With update 1.02, all vehicle and trailer reverse/brake lights now dynamically illuminate the environment! Making reversing into parking spots and navigating in the night much easier!
  
• All vehicles now have daytime driving lamps! When you start your vehicle's engine, the daytime lamps will kick on. These lights will help increase visibility for players in multiplayer who may have a different time set than yours!
  
• There has been a complete rewrite of the lighting and reflection system for vehicles. The game now sets up proper graphics levels for updating reflections and mirrors for vehicles/environment, improving performance, lighting and reflections on surfaces and vehicles. Better Interior lighting of vehicles and optimized render distance for mirrors has also been achieved!
  

This update is in full active development and will arrive with the release of DLC Pack 1. You can find the work-in-progress patch notes for update 1.02 here:

Hey Everyone!

Welcome to our Feature Preview series! These posts will showcase teasers of our upcoming content, both DLC and Free Updates. This is one of our many upcoming Feature Previews that we will be sharing over the coming weeks!

A very large part of the free update 1.02 is a complete overhaul of the wheel and suspension system in game! We have 3 main changes to show to you:

• We have enhanced and modified wheel physics and tire traction to significantly reduce unrealistic wheel slippage when you come to a full stop on hills!
  
• Camber tilt has been added to certain vehicles. Based on a vehicle's weight by cargo, the frame of the vehicle can compress down, increasing realism!
  
• Suspension now has inertia, enhancing realism when wheels experience a sudden change in height. Additionally vehicles will drive over bumps more authentically!
  

Update 1.02 is in full active development and will arrive with the release of DLC Pack 1. You can find the work-in-progress patch notes for update 1.2 here:

Next we will be showcasing some brand new enhancements to vehicle lights!
