Another major issue addresses the single player mode:

Race against AI opponents and your best time ghost racer

From now on you compete against six other AI opponents with different skill levels. Additionally you have to beat your own best time not only on the leaderboards but against your ghost racer as well, which represents your best track time so far.

Further issues addressed:

User Interface / Head Up Display

  • Reordered the race tracks menu according to their increasing level of difficulty

  • Ingame Head Up Display has been attached to the ship for better overview instead moving it with your head direction

  • New flight controls described in "How To Play"

  • External camera views, orientation and movement controls have been updated. Moves were smoothed to prevent motion sickness

Graphics

  • Color correction performed for more a more intense experience

  • Improved anti aliasing in the VR environment

Music / Sound FX

  • Ingame music has been added and the possibility to turn music off in the preferences as well, when you only want to listen to Sound FX

Other Fixes and polishing

  • The global leaderboard entries are now displayed player-centered

  • The demo version has also been updated to get the new flight experience
