Guten Tag!
We just wanted to provide an update on the release of the various Nurburgring Circuits. Our goal and plan as many of you know was to release the track(s) for a late October or November time frame. As many of you saw at the sim expo or on video even back a few weeks ago the track(s) are about done. At that time (the expo) what was left to do as far as the track itself was applying the critical final polish and detail that makes a big difference. We are about done with that as well and from that perspective on schedule.
However as we also told many at the sim racing expo and in other places when we did release it in November it would just be the track itself for driving (not really racing). All the other unique items for this track like specialized race control, Bride to Gantry Point to Point Circuit, new shared pitting, new shaders along with some other relatively mundane code changes would not be released until the December build for both technical and timing reasons. We also have some other new code that really is basically intertwined with the track at this point. The way this has worked out and come together, all of this is making it a pain if not impossible to test and release the track by itself without releasing everything associated with it and we are not ready to release everything since the build is scheduled for December.
All of this is a long way of saying we are not going to release the Nurburgring until the December build but the good news is it is just a minor delay of a few weeks. Additionally when it does release it will be ready to go for both driving and racing rather than basically a preview. I just wanted to provide the details (and excuses) as to why the delay. Just a lot of work! I am going to dive under my desk now and work from there until December!
Gute Renn!!!
