It's an Opponent Proximity Sensor ;D

Imagine if cars had a plug-in file that allows you to implement very specific behaviours for cars and their dashboards!  A dream!

Wait, you changed the font for the digital speedometer? That's a thing you can do?

alanrotoi

Yes and no. This graphic was originaly about the differences between 2012's and 19th anniversary versions. For v1.0 I only changed the roof.

About the numbers of the digital speedometer they are just sepsrated images so I used a different font for every image, saved as png and replaced them. Just like ctg did from 2003 to 2012 versions.
2003 version has the corvette's font but in black because the background color. For 2012 version ctg changed them. For 19th Anniversary I changed everything including the font of the numbers.

This race was incredible, I made a video and the dynamics of live races are very interesting. Unfortunately the size of the video is too heavy to attach directly to the forum, I uploaded it to YouTube.

Excellent video!!! I have to implement this system in my videos too! What a memorable race we had :)

Cas

Very good!  I can see I was super slow at that race, ha, ha... Even Duplode passed me at the end and Alan almost did as well, ha, ha. Very interesting to see how cars tend to separate more when they go past the dirt block and around the banked road at the East end.

I love how a single shortcut can make you win or lose a track in this format. Duplode won mainly because he cut the 3 chicanes part better, thus keeping more speed for the banked road section. It can be seen very clearly around 1:30 when Alan was close behind but for the next bridge lost a lot compared to Dup
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

Exactly! The track was very simple in the porpose of make it easy for a live race (no crashes, no hidden corners, no water) so everybody was very close. But Duplode managed to make it better with a subtle shortcut. That's what a top pipsqueak does. Remember, I built the track and I built the car... details that could make anybody (including me!) that it turns the chances on my side but still he won.

Maybe is the live race I enjoyed the most. I spent time working on the track, testing the jumps, the corners, the terrain, the external elements to make the pipsqueaks know where they are (the bridge columns to the east and the dirt road tile to mark where you have to slowdown without getting out of the track). I put a lot of effort on the track. There was a special mention "Man of the Race" for the pipsqueak who made more quantity of jumps. It added another spice to the race. having more than one winner in different tasks was a good decision. Also a race with all Melange generations felt good. Maybe I'll prepare another Melange race like this in the future. I hope you'll be there too :)
