Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
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.
Greg Hill was on the iRacing Race for More 2.4 livestream yesterday, a charity race and livestream for the National MS Society, and showed quite a video few clips of iRacing wet weather in action, explaining all the variability of the system they have developed. Footage shows clouds forming, rain starting, damp track, puddle formation, sunshine, drying line, drying track and more. A few different tracks are shown, including Daytona’s roadcourse. He also talks about the racing line being more slippy in the wet, like real life.
Greg follows that by talking about what he had also previously covered in his recent developer update.
