Environment Parts – coming soon!
We've been working hard on the Environment Parts feature for VSC, and now we are ready to give you all a preview of what is to come – we hope you enjoy the video. Don't forget to comment in the forums!
We've also updated the videos on the store page to include this one, in case you were wondering ;)

VSC alpha build updates #14 + Environment barriers WIP
We've reduced the default race round duration from 7 mins to 5 mins (you can still race for longer if you want), it means, in a nutshell, that you will gain more coin for any race that is now 5 mins round duration or less, making it easier to buy new parts! Coin titbits are also added to your purse each time you start VSC on a new day as well ;). You can now navigate to any position and any camera view in the editor 3D view to inspect your work-in-progress track design and ensure your bridge height and track alignment is looking correct, just press F2 then use Left [A] right [D] forward [W] back [S] up [Q] and down [Z] along with the modifiers, fast[SHIFT] slow [CTRL], right click mouse + drag to relocate the camera, and [R] to reset your camera to default centre. Larger track designs in the editor 3d view should now have no problem being completely seen since we increased the constrained camera view. And we've fixed some lesser bugs which we found ourselves.
Build #2282085
VSC rev 0.9.9.2729.1682
Fixed formula models. Axle placement varied between models.
Default race round duration reduced to 5 minutes.
Added free camera mode to track editor 3D view.
Increased max radius for constrained camera in track editor 3D view. Larger tracks should now have no problem being completely seen.
Fixed z-fighting artifacts in track editor 3D view
Fixed body collision geometry after detail change (Sometimes the collision detail didn't change)
Fixed elevation textures when changing full roadside option in track editor
Meanwhile, work continues on our Environment Assets feature :) below you can see more custom barriers work done, these ones transferred from the host to the client during multiplayer!

VSC alpha build updates #12
We have a great update for you today. More bug fixes including a corrected spin-off angle for de-slotting cars which now looks WAY better, and a major fix which allows for Coin and EXP to be added correctly after a multiplayer session which was broken after rev 0.9.9.2608.1561 update (oh the shame). We've also added more features such as a dynamically sized Podium that can accommodate cars of all sizes, Audio settings control over 2d and 3d sound respectively, four new Static camera racing views for those who prefer to not have the camera follow the car, and a modding update that caters to unique UV mapping for custom kerbs, allowing for more control over their textures (documentation updated also). On top of all this, Steam Achievements are finally here!
Build #2185337
VSC rev 0.9.9.2674.1627
Adjusted cars' deslot physics
Modified kerbs' uv mapping
Podium view adapted to cars size
Enabled separated settings for 2D and 3D sounds
Added Steam achievements
Changed background images
Added four new static cameras around the track
Fixed assignement of coins and experience in multiplayer mode
Updated .\doc\Create_Your_Trackset.pdf file
In case you missed it (yet again shameless plug), we also received a great “Let's play” video made by FailRace on Youtube here! ːsteamhappyː
P.S. We really need more reviews, keep them coming!

Are you ready to achieve?!
VSC alpha build updates #11
We have another update for VSC which caters to the requests of some players and some new refinements for out-of-track physics, which should really alter how you burst past de-slotted cars, more caution will now be needed ;).
Build #2167271
VSC rev 0.9.9.2634.1587
Removed any jitter for out of track cars.
Adjusted parameters for out of track car collision. Travelling cars feel collision much more, they can even de-slot because of it.
Player can now setup controller/view controller settings during round start (semaphore countdown)
In case you missed it, we also received a great “Let's play” video made by FailRace on Youtube, and our Steam Achievements are almost done, more details can be found here! ːsteamhappyː
