Hello everyone.
As you know, we are working hard and trying to get to the long awaited release. I've discussed a little with Eric about the need for us to try to bring our work to a close and really get to the release.
There's always a problem of wanting to do more but sometimes we need to wrap up what is done and get it out there.
So that's the aim. Currently I am trying to get the last notes off my lists of things to finish and bugs to fix, related to the 1000 Hz updates, multithreading and the lighting changes.
That will leave me with the tyre physics to dive into once again to figure out where it's strong, where it's weak, what parts need to be improved before the big release and what can be done later.
On Eric's side, I know he has been very involved with South City and its architecture, making a really beautiful area with so many ways to drive around. I guess he he will be able to delay some of the planned updates, to focus more on filling holes and there are also holes to fill at Kyoto.
In case you haven't seen already, there are a lot of pictures of South City and other new tracks on the 20th Anniversary report from August:

If you want to know what I have been doing, I have listed it in extreme detail on recent threads.
Multithreading progress: (not adding to this one)
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/100464-Progress-on-Multithreading
Development progress: (still ongoing)
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/101348-Development-Progress
So I think we are keeping you pretty well informed. I'm sure everyone can understand that it is in no way possible to finish everything before Christmas and we can't really think of a way to produce a new progress report at the moment.
But we are trying to get there as the release is very important!
I will close this thread as it doesn't really serve a useful purpose any more.
