Video game development is full of names that have made groundbreaking steps you’ve never even heard about. Shawn Nash is a behind-the-scenes pioneer responsible for SODA Off Road Racing’s incredible physics, Papyrus’ graphical advancements and iRacing’s use of laser scan data for the physical track surfaces.
This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
As promised in their September and October roadmaps Studio 397 today release three new layouts for those who already own the Nurburgring content.
The layouts are:
– Sprint (a short version of the GP layout)
– Sprint No Chicane (same as above and still with a chicane, just a faster one)
– Endurance (full roadcourse and Nordschleife combined)
The Porsche 991 GT3 Cup (one of my fav cars in sim racing at the moment because of how much it changes during a fuel run) got a nice update, adding the Endurance Package. This adds different dampers and two sets of softer springs, compared to the Supercup specification. The Endurance package also comes with ABS system and aerodynamic package: front fender flares + rear wing 10 mm gurney flap and restricts the engine power output to a nominal 413 PS. Additionally the Endurance package also comes with a possibility to refuel the car, with fuel tank capacity lowered to 95 L, compared to 100 L with the Supercup specification. The car also weighs 30 kg more.
