[TC] CityDriving InSim - Changelog

[◄Chuck►]

Version 4.08 (beta)
-New: Implementing sound-maps to prevent sirens & cautions to display though undriveable areas / walls / buildings / hills etc.

Notice: This updates contains major changes to the virtual sirens/cautions and how they're seen. Please read below:

This is an experimental version and currently only loaded on Server Two, as I need some feedback first whether it needs further tweaking or not.
The virtual signals (sirens/cautions etc) used to be based on the direct distance between sender and receiver, which often resulted in sirens being shown from adjacent roads, thus often unnecessary. On smaller tracks like Sydney, even annoying.
The new system uses a map and calculates the distribution of siren or caution along that map. The sender's speed is also taken into account and will result in a extended range. Stationary cars will have a limited range.


Here is an example of a moving siren on Blackwood, starting at the south-end of Highway 1, going north through Northpark and then through pits to the Industial Area.



Please let us know what experience you had with this new system. Feel free to test.
