GSC Extreme – Tire pickup & flatspotting demonstrationStudios posted

Reiza Studios have posted a new video showing us a demonstration of the new Tire pickup and flat-spotting features for Game Stock Car Extreme.

Locking the tires will cause visible damage and will generate an actual physical effect in the form of a so-called flat spot. The actual depth of the flat spot will be generated by a number of parameters, such as tire softness, load, and the time it has been dragged on the track surface. After some laps, the flat spot on the tire will eventually wear down, and smooth out the ride.

At this time, the flat spotting and tire pickup functionality are only implemented on the player´s car. If the recently announced funding campaign proves to be successful, Reiza Studios will be able to further implement the features into the codebase so that also the AI & multiplayer cars will be affected.  Reiza Studios has also hinted that another fundamental element of real world racing will become part of the Stock Car Extreme simulator, but did not yet reveal any details.

While watching the video, some of you might also have noticed that the featured track in the video is the modern version of the Montreal track. When finished, this track will become freely available for both Stock Car Extreme & Formula Truck.  You can get Stock Car Extreme on Steam for €27.99.

Those who want to support Reiza Studios in their effort to bring Game Stock Car Extreme to the next level can still do so by participating in the IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign.
