• Made the left trigger vibration for braking start slightly earlier for better feedback
• Added a possible fix for some third party controllers that could exhibit faint vibrations even if all rumble effects were turned off
• Fixed an issue that caused the automatic shifting points to be wrong on a few rare mod cars (such as the official Hyundai Elantra N TCR 2024 mod)
• Tweaked the automatic shifting algorithm to make unnecessary downshifts less likely (such as on an uphill section)
• Made the self-steer force stay active even if the front wheels are not touching the ground, which makes landing jumps more predictable
• Added a notification that can show up in the UI app when a new update to the mod is available

• Fixed an issue that could cause the automatic shifting option to not update its shifting points after setup changes

Sorry for the back-to-back updates, but I wanted to get this bug fix out as soon as I could.

• Added a "Photo mode" option that allows you to leave the front wheels turned while the car is parked, for taking screenshots for example
• Tweaked the automatic shifting algorithm to better avoid unnecessary downshifts (especially into low gears like 1st or 2nd)
• Changed how the assist is faded in and out at low speeds, meaning the steering should act better during low speed maneuvers now
• Tweaked the trigger vibration logic in an attempt to fix some issues that third party controllers are having (but no promises, it's a blind fix)
• Fixed an issue with the custom shifting options that caused certain mod cars to not properly engage the new gear when shifting
• Fixed an issue that could cause the automatic shifting algorithm to not update the shifting points if the car's RPM limiter is changed in the setup menu (only a few cars have that option though)

• Improved the trigger vibrations by making them more gradual and ramp up towards the grip limit
• Tweaked the automatic shifting algorithm for better downshift prediction
• Made the "Trigger feedback" options, as well as "Automatic clutch" enabled by default
• Tweaked the default settings, as well as some factory presets
• Made it so that AC's own gamma, deadzone, and rumble settings are automatically set to reasonable defaults when first installing the mod
• Clarified a few tooltips

This update is about better trigger vibrations, as well as improving the out-of-the-box experience for new users. The new default settings (including gamma and deadzone) mean that people who just install the mod and jump into a car can have a fine experience even without tweaking anything. Existing users can also try the new defaults by using the "Factory Reset" setting, if they want to.

• Improved the way the "Automatic" shifting option predicts when to downshift
• Improved the rev-matching logic when using the "Automatic" or "Manual" shifting options resulting in smoother downshifts

• Replaced the "Max dynamic limit reduction" setting with a new "Dynamic steering limit" setting which works in a similar way but it better adapts to differences between cars based on peak tire slip angle
• Added a new live graph showing raw steering input vs. processed input
• Changed quite a few tooltips to hopefully better convey what each setting does
• Adjusted a few factory presets
• Fixed an issue that caused the "Manual" shifting option to interfere with the built-in throttle blip on certain cars

• Added some sliders to the extra settings menu to adjust AC's own controller settings
• Made factory presets read-only since previously you could delete them or save over them which might have been confusing
• Fixed a potential issue that could have caused the custom automatic shifting mode to not update its shifting points when the car's gear ratios have changed

• Added a custom manual shifting mode in addition to the automatic mode
• Slightly tweaked how the damping force is calculated
• Added a warning that pops up when using an unsupported CSP version
• Adjusted some tooltips
• Fixed an issue that could cause the custom automatic mode to get stuck in a gear in some rare cases

EDIT: I noticed a typo in one of the descriptions after publishing the update, but it will have to wait until next time.

• Changed how the steering limit is calculated when turning inwards during a slide by adjusting how the limit reduction works
• Renamed the "Dynamic limit reduction" setting to "Max dynamic limit reduction" to reflect the changes made to it
• Reduced the stutters that could occur in the steering during direction changes
• Made the "Steering rate at speed" setting affect the re-centering rate in a more correct way
• Fixed an issue that caused the steering to re-center slower than intended when the "Steering rate" setting was above 50%
• Fixed numerous small problems

This update is about fixing some of the older parts of the code after I revisited them.

• Added a new setting called "Target slip angle" that adjusts the overall amount of steering
• Changed how the ideal slip angle is calculated so it accounts for vertical load much better than before, meaning the steering angle will be much more optimal in high-downforce cars as well as over elevation changes like Eau Rouge on Spa
• Changed how the self-steer force is calculated by making it based on the velocity of the rear axle
• Reduced the effectiveness of the "Damping" setting because the new self-steer force doesn't require it as much
• Improved the accuracy of steering calibration
• Improved the rev-matching when using the "Automatic shifting" option
• Changed some of the factory presets
• Fixed an issue that caused Xbox trigger vibrations to still work even when driving on keyboard
