  • Fixed radiators being indestructible in exports
  • Fixed 3D-placed exhausts not getting exhaust routing to the fixture
  • Fixed exhaust routing sometimes going really low
  • Fixed it being impossible to stall cars due to constant torque below idle RPM
  • Fixed all engines exporting with their bounding box placed too low
  • Fixed turbo pipes not exporting
  • Fixed default camera positions in exports


Beyond that, we have been working on many more things than the ones listed. Campaign is being fixed up to make it reappear in the Al Rilma updates, as well as major engine simulation improvements regarding the handling of ignition timing for non-EFI systems. Beyond that there are many more things to address, but we'll get to that.

Cheers!
