andre Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Update V0.1.0.2823 KA100 The IAME KA100 class has been added to KartKraft. With 22HP and a maximum RPM of 15,000, the new class uses the medium grip MG Red tyre and requires very precise and smooth inputs to achieve good lap times. We look forward to your feedback on the new class. Tyre Model The tyre model has been updated to include a 3D thermodynamic model that simulates the heat transfer between the asphalt, contact patch, tread, pressurized air, and rim. No longer static, the entire carcass and tread around the circumference of the tyre is affected by contact pressure and sliding friction which results in localized hotspots and the new ability to overheat the tyre if driving and sliding too hard. Future updates will include different rim materials that allow for better dissipation of heat and more stable changes in pressure. A visualization of the 3D tread has been added to the HUD. Note: Existing setups will need to be updated to extract the maximum performance from the new model. FFB The calculation of forces being applied to the steering column has been improved resulting in a much more refined signal and smoother driving experience. GKCV Reverse The reverse layout of GKCV has been added which presents a different challenge with the blind uphill entry to turn 1. Fixes/Improvements Setup parameters now show their respective units. i.e PSI, Degrees etc HUD elements are now zoomable and moveable using mouse wheel Fixed crash when changing gear ratios on the KZ2 class of karts Kerb response has been improved with a reduced likelihood of flipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andre Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 KARTKRAFT BUILD 0.1.0.2964 – Reduced load sensitivity of MG Yellow tyres – Reduced default brake strength for newly purchased KA100 vehicles so braking is much easier to control – Fixed bug where some wheels would auto-centre when using a 180 degree steer limit – Fixed input errors when attempting to play using gamepad with a correctly bound but unplugged steering wheel – Fixed some glitches in input settings menu when using wheel controls – Fixed some undesirable wheel forces when retiring from race – Added a 2sec fade in for FFB when transitioning to driving. (This will be improved for rolling/flying starts in a future update.) – Added a mild FFB soft-lock at steering wheel limits – Added a debug launch option -DebugUDPTelemetry. If set, all telemetry will be logged to project_k.log for debugging problems with motion rigs. Warning: use sparingly, and remember to turn it off, as it can result in very large log files.

andre Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Developer Zach Griffin: "The physics of KartKraft won't be reduced to an arcade" Last February, Motorsport Games announced its expansion into the world of virtual karting through the acquisition of the Australian studio Black Delta and its IP KartKraft. “We're not going to make a sim-falls version or dial down the physics at all. It's always a concern when you hear of talks like this, but we'll be adding more assists so players who are new to karting can experience what it's like without going off the track every two seconds. “[We're looking at] some form of anti-lock braking system and secondly people find it shocking how little steering input you need at first. Those assists are the initial ideas. Not dialling down the physics at all, just making sure when a new person comes in they can enjoy the experience as much as a hardcore simulation experience.
