Lots of bugfixes and tweaks for the last release :)

• Fixed scenery static collisions randomly being ignored

Hello everyone!

We want to keep you guys on the loop about BeamNG.drive development. We realize we are often so focused on the game development itself that we forget to keep you updated as much as we would like.

After reading your feedback, we have decided to put some extra effort to improve on that front.

We are starting a series of DevBlog posts, containing sneak peeks into what some of the BeamNG team members have been working on since the last update. Our aim is to post somewhat regularly, and more frequently than game updates.

• Fixed consecutive Ctrl+Q keypresses registering as regular Q presses
  
• Fixed a few fuel tank issues
  
• Fixed Intersection2 scenario
  
• Fixed log spamming warnings when rotating camera in the editor
  
• Fixed going into Freeroam from scenarios and campaigns

• Fixed Airfield showdown scenario

• Added Sunburst "Off-Road" configuration, based on the previous "Port Shakedown" scenario configuration
  
  
• Added Fuel Volume to the Tuning Menu for all cars. One can now change fuel level to affect weight, balance, and range of the vehicle
  
• Added 215/70R15 All-Terrain tire for low offset 15x8 wheels
  
• Added 205/55R15 Rally tire for 4 lug 14x8 wheels
  
• Added more grip to Race tires to act more as true racing slicks than street legal tires
  
• Added more suspension damping to the Hopper
  
• Finished adding noncolliding tris to all cars underbodies, less chance of getting stuck when driving over other cars now
  
• Converted large all-terrain tires to 20 ray structure for smoother crawling (for 17x9 wheels only)
  
• "Off-Road" tires renamed to "All-Terrain" tires to better refer to the tread type
  
• Increased COG height of D-Series, Roamer, H-Series to be closer to real life comparables
  
• Reduced COG height of Miramar
  
• Increased steering rate upper limit of steering hydros for a small improvement in ffb stability and feeling
  
• Cleaned up unnecessary "beamLimitSpring" and "beamLimitDamp" values in vehicle .jbeam files, they don't apply to support beam type
  
• Changed trailer "Landing Gear" part selector names to "Trailer Legs"
  
• Minor visual tweaks to Replay app
  
• Slightly faster level switching during replay

• Added replay seeking bindings (keyboard arrow keys by default)
  
• Added ability to change camera speed with alt + mouse scroll wheel
