[h1]Hello Drivers, [/h1]
The day has arrived. The long awaited patch 5 is finally out and we’re happy to see all the hype surrounding it. If you want more details like videos and a deeper explanation of each feature we added we talked about everything in [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1351240/view/4679892274002354912]our previous blog here.[/url] Otherwise, let's dive into the notes.
[h2]NEW FEATURES[/h2]
[b]Photo Mode[/b] - We added a photo mode so our players can take dope screenshots of their pimped out vehicles like Xzibit. You can adjust the temperature, zoom levels, film grain and much more. Have fun!
[b]Mouse steering[/b] - A long requested accessibility feature. This will allow players to use the mouse to more precisely steer the vehicle when playing with a mouse + keyboard.
[b]Alternative quicklook[/b] - Now, an alternative quicklook mode will be introduced:
[b]Quick Look OFF[/b]
Right stick for free look.
LB + right stick for quick look.
[b]Quick Look On[/b]
Right stick for a quick look.
LB + right stick for free look.
You'll be able to find this switch in the settings menu and choose which style fits you best.
[b]Hide the HUD + Center DOT[/b] - You can access this new feature in the [i]System Settings > Video > Presence of HUD[/i]
[b]Go back to Practice mode [/b]- Players that want to brush up on their driving skills in a safe and non-chaotic environment can now go back into the driving school and do so. Feel free to master those 3 point turns, without the intensity of other drivers honking at you.
