Enter the Time of day via a drop down menu in the GUI, this will dictate the azimuth of sun. This could also optionally default to the actual time on the PC? Each track would have a default value for Dawn, Morning, Midday, Afternoon, Dusk and Night. |
| Cameras: Multiple cameras to give optional view points, currently there are three cameras in this game and they can be placed behind the outfit, on the rider or passenger, overhead or each side of the outfit, I also will be adding a few other camera locations as well which have yet have to be decided. |

Currently the rider and passenger automatically balance the outfit and it rarely tips over completely, the system I have designed works well, and you can have a lot of fun thrashing the outfit around. However I am considering turning off the balance system, or at least giving you the option to do so on the trials maps. I did find that it was pretty tricky to balance things manually, but I will test a bit more to see if it's viable option. With regards to including a solo option, I have now made some good progress and the handling of the motorcycle is quite realistic, will put up some screenshots shortly. |
