uh find and that was introduced in this last uh round of experimental okay so we'll have to see when 1.2 officially comes out if people catch the easter egg i don't know what that could be actually interesting uh explorers when is drifting coming back instead of just spinning out
Are people spinning out on experimental?
I know... Are they spinning out?
I know the team has recently reworked manual driving.
Yes.
And it's using...
Instead of a line trace to connect you to the floor, they changed the collision to an actual cylinder for the wheels.
So you should be getting more traction.
Yes.
Should be a better driving experience

with some

other things

too.
Yeah, which also people have expressed people have expressed Missing the more on ice kind of feeling with driving prior to 1.2 or yeah, 1.2 EXP and
that's something that we also were asked could we have that back as a as an option uh no not really the fundamental system that we have built the entire so the vehicles changed a lot going from update from unreal 4 to 5 and that was big uh out of necessity because unreal 5 no longer had support for many of the things we had um built vehicles on from from unreal 4
And now this new framework that we have used has received small updates again in Unreal, but we've also reconstructed everything from the ground up.
So a lot of the old driving logic is just actually gone, not archived, it's just gone from the code.
So this will be a growing pain, something new for people to get used to.
But yeah, we're here for that ride.
