addedHyperwheel Overdrive v0.11.2 brings some big performance improvements on the CPU side and adds thrusters for adjusting car rotation in mid-air (with controls that work by picking up a holographic sphere and pointing it where you want to rotate towards). This is a huge game-changer in terms of combat play; airborne players are now quite dangerous as they can face players in the air and rain rockets down on them or just take some shots with their laser rifles!
addedWe also added a new race track to Volcanica called " Island Triathlon Course ", which is the only track to feature the car, boat, and plane. Transitions between the boat and plane are particularly fun.
