The early July release has been postponed due to unexpected complications and intensified testing demands related to the co-release of several new features, including replay, ghost cars, controller mapping, achievement system, new camera zoom system and several other features. Even though the short course truck is now practically ready for release, more work needs to be done to tackle the side effects of transmission changes prepared for the short course trucks (especially the differentials). These side effects affect the handling and performance of the on-road cars as they use the same physics engine. Good progress was already made and we hope to still release offroad this month. The other reason for delay has to do with the development of new features. Many new features were developed since the last big game update and all need intensive testing before release. Some of you may say: why not leave those features out and release offroad now? It’s not that simple. Everything is programmed in the main program file (exe), you can't leave things half finished and roll back to a previous version to say it simply. On top of that, also our involvement in the IFMAR Worlds with the Race2theWorlds project is demanding our attention and resources. As always, we are doing our utmost to get it out, but only when it is ready to go out. I can't wait to let you guys get your hands on short course off-road.... Here are some reactions from our beta testers: Lonny Larkan I am very impressed at what I have experienced this far. I think the short course trucks are all very close and fun to drive, great job so far in all departments. Randy Angelito ...it feels very much like my real truck in the air. Claus Didriksen I am amazed of the job that the vrc team has put together. The trucks feel right in the air and on the ground. Marco Grandesso The truck is actually close to something real Martin Wollanka On the track the car feels good and in the air it feels very realistic on the steering. Congratulations!
