Driving Simulator Update

Lots of interesting things happening with the driving simulator these days. It turns out that the problems I was having with shadows was the result of a bug in the graphics engine we're using. We applied the patch and now our little project is starting to look a lot like a big budget game. We're using fairly low resolution textures for the mountains in the background but those will be upgraded soon.

If you have a Mac and want to help out leave a comment. Our code should work on a Mac in theory but we've yet to try it out. In case you're new to my blog I'm working on a driving simulator project with some gearheads from around the world. In fact, most of our team is outside of the US. We're all doing it for fun in our spare time and relasing it as Open Source software which means it's a free download. Right now it's not much to look at, you can drive around on a big parking lot and flip over the car but we'll eventually have online racing enabled as well as AI.
