wow - everyone their brother are making a racing game! (me included ; )

nice choice on the mouse steering, i've got that as well - hate the arrow tapping!

your HUD is fantastic, very well done. i'd throw the smooth follow script in there, the camera moves too rigidly as it is.

great start ; )

 

That's very good. I find that the best test of a car sim / racer is to see if the cars will flip, but not flip easily. Took a while, but I flipped it. Beautiful.

 

Yeah, nice stuff. Are you using a custom Car Physics script? Or some combination of the Vehicles example?

 

really good start there! liked the car material-All impressive stuff. Although for some reason I wanted a martini after playing it!
Gaz

 

Enjoyable. I liked the break lights everytime I hit spacebar. I managed to jump the barrier and run some laps on the other side which was interesting, but the trees were only illusory. I went right through them.

You might want to disable the skin change mid race although I enjoyed that too. Maybe the car is part of MI-6?

 

thank you for your comments!

its a "real 3d hud"
fuel, temp, oilbar are placeholders at the moment

its based on forests raycast_car_example

actually breakes wont work, lights only

yes they have no colliders

hm, not sure what you will mean with - its a real existing car - alfa romeo giulia sprint gta 1600 build in the late 60ts by autodelta - stradale/corsa - version

 

Lovely. Just the right steering balance between way too loose to control and driving it hard. Nice sun flare, great colouring, and very nice HUD (the wing mirrors on both sides are a great touch). Can't wait to see how this one develops, superb work. I'm doing an update to the WMG site tomorrow to include this, if that's OK?

 

yes its ok

last not least im impressed what unity can do.
on my side: its a lot of work to bring it to a beta_level - cos, actually nothing is optimized / finetuned, ...

 

That's fantastic! .. soo smooth ... textures look fantastic, the car model is very cool and I like the optional skins ... gear changes were cool .. be nice if there was a little visible kick forward ... maybe in the camera script .. a little Mathf.Lerp magic could free the cam a little so it's not so fixed ... also the mouse steering although very nice is slightly problematic ... as the wheels can suddenly jump to a 90 degree angle ... needs some sort of restriction .. min/max angle etc.

over all

totally love it ... really impressed with how much work you've put into it

and I'm hanging out to have a go at the next version.

 

Yup!

If this is his "unpotimized" and "un-fintuned" and "pre_alpha_version" I can't wait for the better one. Again, great job so far!

 

well thanks again, but be patient,
im new to unity -> especially scripting, (have worked with another engine for years -> much different .js and GUI)
so it will take a while to figure out unitys way to do things
ive added a working brakesystem - >v001
actually im working on better gearsystem - have added "N" and "R" to the gearbox so the car has only key "w" ive removed key "s" for reverse ->v002
next step better collisions -> v003
in the actual version ive removed blobshadows at bridges (better performance) i will readd when ive splitted up the track (seperated "bridgeparts" for blobshadows)
im working on a nightmap too, more soon, i will post a new version when im done with v003

 

xRacing2 GTA_cup version a005

many improvements, ...

 

Aww, now I can't go 300 mph in reverse anymore. That's probably for the best, though

 

hi @ll !

xRacing2 GTA_cup version a010

ive added ai_cars
next step -> bring it to a beta_release

at this point i have to say the unity_engine is impressive

have fun

 

Awesome! Too bad I can't drive worth a @#$! I wish there were a way to modify the sensitivity of the steering controls. I tried using my gamepad and keyboard and it was pretty hard to keep the car under control. But I love the graphics and car AI. Nicely done!

 

Cool!

I'd say the two things that I found frustro/confusing were related to gearing.

I wanted to gear down going into a corner at high rpms, and the game didn't simulate cars/driving in that way. I wanted to come up to a corner (double clutch) and down shift to hold up the rps but drop the speed. There could be a closer relationship between the gearing and the driving. I'm not sure exactly how the sim is working, but it's a bit odd.

The other was having the gearbox reset to N when one hits something. Took me a while to realize what was happening. I'd rather be forced to shift back to N or 1 to start up again.

Can you force the car to "stall" if it's in too high a gear?

Great Job!

 

Fun! Can anyone top this screenshot?

 

nice shot

when i make my testruns i have crazy situations too

 

hi!

have fun
