v0.12.12 Released: LIV & Sim Racing Studio Integration, Unlockable Lists

Hyperwheel Overdrive v0.12.12 has arrived and brings support for two different types of third-party software: LIV (for mixed reality capture), and Sim Racing Studio. The former includes our new LIV Camera Cube feature that lets you drag a cube in 6 different directions for custom camera modes (this only affects your LIV camera). You can control how your viewers see the match as it unfolds. Just remember to tend to your actual driving & shooting as the main priority. =)

The Sim Racing Studio support involves a new setting to expose telemetry data to Sim Racing Studio for potential use with a motion simulator seat... we're excited about the prospect of trying one with Hyperwheel!

We've also added unlockable Golden Ring & Stunt Gap Lists. After all prior unlockable conditions are satisfied, the lists will appear in Free Play, ready to be found. Once you have picked up a list, you can access the list to see which golden rings and stunt gaps you have already collected/landed, and which ones are still to be found/performed. This means that it is now feasible to 100% complete the game.

Message feed shows player is racing 3.129 seconds faster than the gold trophy time.

Completing laps in a race now gives detailed information about how your race is stacking up against either the other players (in the case of multiplayer or against bots), the nearest trophy time (if you don't have a gold trophy yet), or your current #1 race time for the track if you're playing single player and already have a gold. It'll even give you an estimated completion time based on current performance after each lap!

We have also refreshed the Hyperwheel Overdrive Demo to include the latest bug fixes, UI revisions, and settings. Invite a friend to try it out!
