If you ever played Papyrus’ seminal Grand Prix Legends then you’ve read his name. Rich began working as a tester on NASCAR Racing (1994) and was with Papyrus at the end.

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?
The newly-renamed ‘Motorsport Games Australia’ studio released their first update of the month today. Build 0.1.0.2992 seems to be largely focussed on the menus and their usability.
IMPROVEMENTS
– Fixed font issue for languages other than English. Main menu option fonts will look different but are now legible. Nicer fonts and translations are slated for the future.
– Added more telemetry output: Vehicle world position, session elapsed time, session name, track name, track address, track country code.
– Added the ability to manually drive in to the pits during practice sessions.VR
– Improved VR input for menus. Menus now default to using mouse, with an option to switch to gaze input available in Settings > VR.
– Added new setting to fine tune world scale in VR. Use this setting only if the world feels “wrong” to you. Default of 100% should be correct for 99% of people. Available in Settings > VR.
– Added an option to switch between Headphones (head-tracked) and Speaker (non-head-tracked) mode for audio. Available in Settings > VR.
– Fixed a bug which caused VR settings to be invisible.Input
– Fixed issue preventing the ability to bind G27 clutch pedal.
– Improved FFB fade in when returning to driving. Now much faster and more direct.
