- Maps
- UI and audio
A lot has changed since the last update, I will try my best to remember it all:
The Yellow Truck is back! Complete with ToTo probe!
You can enter/exit the vehicle with the 'e' key
The probe can be deployed by clicking and dragging it out of the bed of the truck, you then use the 'e' key to select which data type to collect: wind speed, pressure, dew point, or temperature
The position of the probe is shown on the mini-map so you can collect it and attempt another intercept
You can view your collected data by pressing 'tab' to expand the mini-map and then clicking the 'data' button
There is now a day/night cycle, with the night being sped up by a factor of 4 so you aren't chasing in the dark too long
The way map tiles are loaded has been improved, so there shouldn't really be a noticeable "stutter" when moving between map tiles
You can toggle the VHS effect using the right mouse button
Vehicle handling characteristics have been improved
Post-processing and lighting have been improved
The tornado has sound, getting more intense the closer it gets
The wind speeds you are experiencing are shown in the bottom-left of your screen
There are likely other minor improvements/changes I have forgotten, but that is the bulk of the update!
I just did a play test on stream before publishing this update, check it out here: TRR Live Stream
