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.
Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
Heusinkveld have announced their latest product, a shifter, with a patented adjustable strength magnetic resistance that will allow users to specify whether they want a firm upshift, soft downshift, medium overall force or a combination of that through highly configurable software. The shifter is sequential, which means it just moves forwards and backwards, and the base of the unit includes three buttons that can be configured for any other role in your chosen simulation.
The shifter is €371.07, in-stock now, and can be purchased at heusinkveld.com. Technical details are available within their announcement.
