v1.5.1

16/12/2020

Add Rigidbody interpolation by default with an option under Settings tab to choose a different
value.
Fix InputProvider instances list entries duplicating with each scene reload.
Added InvertClutch, InvertBrakes, InvertThrottle, etc. options to VehicleInputHandler.
Improved input documentation.
Improvements and bug fixes related to brakes.
Fix deadzone.

reverse gears has changed or a different gearing profile has been assigned.
Renamed NWH.VehiclePhysics2.Input.Input to InputHandler to prevent confusion with
UnityEngine.Input.

v1.2.1

11/07/2020

Added weight sensitive WheelController defaults.

Made it possible to create a vehicle from a script at runtime using
VehicleSetupWizard.RunSetup().
Fixed trailer drives the towing vehicle into the ground when 'Freeze When Asleep' is enabled.

v1.2.0

07/07/2020

InputProviders have been split to SceneInputProvider and VehicleInputProvider where

SceneInputProvider handles scene-related input (camera controls, vehicle switching, character
movement, etc.) and VehicleInputProvider handles only vehicle-related input (steering, throttle,
brakes, etc.).
Some parts of the asset are now shared between DWP2 and NWP2 making the two assets
compatible and reducing the code duplication.
Fixed issue where blinkers and hazards could be active at the same time.
Fixed a bug introduced in 1.1.2 where the multiplayer scripts where not changed to reflect the
recent input changed.

2020/12/16 21:01 5/6 Changelog

Removed delay between activating a blinker and it turning on.

Fixed blinkers sometimes not canceling each other.
Rewritten LightManager logic.
Minor bug fixes and improvements.

v1.1.1

21/06/2020

Changed how engine losses are calculated to allow the engine to rev more freely. Vehicles will
feel slightly more powerful after the update.
Fixed unneeded using directives introduced in 1.1 preventing the build from finishing
successfully.
Added “Hold To Keep In Gear” option to the transmission. This makes the transmission H-shifter
friendly. When the option is enabled an input has to be held for the transmission to stay in
corresponding gear, otherwise it goes to neutral.
Added all available axis options to SteeringWheelInputProvider.
Removed shift ban timer (delay between shifts) from manual transmission which would get
interpreted as the gearbox not receiving input.
Fixed errors caused by the SteeringWheelInputProvider not having been updated to the 1.1
InputProvider overrides.

v1.1

Removed the need for disabling “Queries Hit Triggers” and “Queries Hit Backfaces”.
Split “Vertical” axis into “Throttle” and “Brakes” to allow for simultaneous application of both.
Added optional bindings: CameraRotation, CameraPanning, CameraRotationModifier,
CameraPanningModifier, CameraZoom, FPSMovement and ToggleGUI. This allowed for removal
of all the hard-coded inputs in the asset code and all the input now goes through InputProviders.
Improved ImputSystem support and made InputSystem default input method.
Renamed “NewDesktopInputProvider” to “InputSystemProvider” to prevent confusion.
Improved InputSystem with additional, optional bindings: CameraRotation, CameraPanning,
CameraRotationModifier, CameraPanningModifier, CameraZoom, FPSMovement and ToggleGUI.
This allowed for removal of all the hard-coded inputs in the asset code and all the input now
goes through InputProviders.
Added gamepad support to the demo scene.
Removed shift ban timer from manual transmission.
Implemented 'GearShift' class which contains data about the currently occuring gear shift and is
used by 'OnShift', 'OnUpshift' and 'OnDownshift' events.
Renamed Input.AutoSettable to Input.AutoSetInput since the old name was causing confusion.

v1.0.1

Improved the way module list is reloaded in editor, removing the delay between clicking on the
modules tab and the modules being drawn.
Fix modules added after vehicle is initialized, either through scripting or inspector, not
registering.
Fixed missing trees in the demo scene.

Fixed two audio listeners being present in the scene for the first fame when
CharacterVehicleChanger is used.
Renamed “NewDesktopInputProvider” to “InputSystemProvider” to prevent confusion.
Added ground check to the CameraMouseDrag.

v1.0

Major demo improvements: two new vehicles (Lada / Rocket Carrier), mirrors and interiors on all
the vehicles, camera improvements, etc. Optimized Ferrari and Monster Truck models.
Rewritten exhaust particle code for better visuals, performance and ease of setup.
Improved surface particles / dust. Both dust and smoke are now using the same ParticleSystem
and particles are emitted on per-wheel basis.
Added dirt chunk / pebble particles.
Improvements to SurfacePresets with extended and improved settings.
Added camera shake on collision.
Make 'Validate' option validate model scale and SurfaceMap tags.
Added “IsGrounded()” and “IsFullyGrounded()” functions to the VehicleController.
Fixed VehicleChanger thowing an error when there are no vehicles present in the scene and
'Character Based' is used.
Disable CameraMouseDrag movement while mouse is over UI.
VehicleCameras now auto-find target.
CameraMouseDrag has been rewritten with a few improvements: smoothing now keeps
constant distance from the vehicle, implemented panning, new options to enable/disable
dragging/panning, target position offset, initial look angle.
Rewritten vehicle enter/exit code.

v0.9.0 - v0.9.5

Versions 0.9.0 to 0.9.5 were considered Beta releases.
