Highly anticipated, even more belated, and well worth the wearisome wait - 1.9.7 is finally here!
Have a great day everyone,
-Aubrey
(Note: this will automatically upgrade your Unity plugin, which currently causes bugs in older game versions)
(This is a bug in the Unity player, and Unity is working on it...)
Tank:
- Completed body! Includes a futuristic bridged "H" frame design; detailed, animated treads; and incorporates several design ideas by FlyClub for making it look even cooler
- New intelligent tracks that pivot easily over terrain, but resist angular rotation when hill climbing to help you stick to incredibly steep faces without being ratcheted off
- Slightly more power
Buggy:
- Completely re-engineered handling, including everything from new a new wheel slip model to smart suspension that automatically lowers it's CG at high speeds
- New fine tuned mesh based collision model for ultimate crash and vehicle to vehicle collision fun
- Cooler surface and submerged lava physics - including the the full use of your wings in the depths of the sea...
- Easier takeoffs and smoother wallriding
- Automatic "landing gear" retraction during flight, which makes the buggy look way more streamlined while sailing through the skies
- Cooler looking, smoother cockpit
- Enhanced flight physics, which should now be completely framerate and rendering quality level independent
- Beautiful skid marks
- New server physics controls for smart suspension and shock damping aggressiveness
Hovercraft:
- Revised hovercraft physics are now finished!
- New server physics controls for hover height, hover height aggressiveness, terrain repulsion, and engine thrust
Server Settings:
- Parameter sanity verification - (in other works, you can't manually adjust parameters outside their maximum bounds)
- Atmosphere and lava fog density control
- World lava sea height slider
- Laser speed control
General:
- Better vehicle collision detection, including the ability to tag players with your buggy's wings
- (Hopefully) even less application crashes than previous versions
- Cooler server entry sequence, with the starfield background staying aligned as you transfer from list mode to game mode

An axiom of aircraft handling is instability = agility. An agile stunt aircraft is more "unstable" than a Jumbo Jet which is not agile.
This super hight performance buggy in Simple setting is more demanding on the pilot's control input but I am thrilled with it now that I have reduced my control input. (play much lighter on the keys)
ah - Please come back! Please keep trying to get used to it?
