iGP Development Design Update

It has been over three months since your article on the new design update, and I was just curious if the developers could reveal some more information to us. Just curious to how it is progressing, how close it is to being implemented, if any new features have been added, etc. 

Thanks 

This is just my understanding of what is going on so don't take it as the answer.

I think the team is trying to get to the bottom of the instability issues, so a lot of the beta testing of the new updates has been put on hold.  As has been pointed out, there is no point in releasing new features if the old ones don't work as well as they should.  I know it is very frustrating when we are not kept informed but, again, I think all the time is spent in trying to fix these issues.  The mods are good at reading these posts (and I assume twitter & facebook also) and getting back to the devs with anything serious.  That saves the devs from spending time on non-development work.

I cannot comment on what might be implimented or what new features there are - just to say that they will be worth waiting for! :)

And sorry I cannot be more help - I no doubt, have got most of this wrong and will be shot down in flames - again!

Jake, Not wrong at all. That is my understanding of the situation too.

I know that Andrew is spending the majority of his time working on the simulator & as you say, all sorts of new features are indefinitely delayed whilst this work continues.

Any update on this release?
:)

I would also like to know.. thinking of subsribing

The priority at the moment is the stability of the simulator

is there a timeframe you can tell us for when everything we're expecting will come ?

No. The work on the simulator has taken much longer than anyone could have imagined and there are still issues with it. Work is progressing as quickly as possible.

:( 

When you say simulator is the whole simulation of the game, or only the race aspects?
In the update, will the 5 test runs to configure the car for the race present the lap times?

The simulator is the part of the system which runs the races, qualifying and laps for setup.

The work is not to provide an update. The work is to stop the simulator from hanging and/or crashing.

And loyal fans/managers shall wait patiently :D

well I am just plain hooked!
I get the shakes if I am away from the game for more than a day - and the forum is the best bit :D

yea

Lovely to see you are progressing :)
I am not a Java expert,  but I have experience in development and testing. I would like to help some way to solve some issues (I also want to fix the free java app for running with IcedTea).
Hope to see news soon.
Everyday I like more this game :D

Rafael, Thank you for that. I have passed your details on.
