Great idea, but landscape is not very realistic, I'm driving next to sea or huge lake going uphill, then driving further away from sea, all the time going uphill and after some time I'm back at coast at same elevation where I started while going all the time uphill and NEVER going downhill.

Also why is autodrive driving in the middle of the road and not in the correct lane?




That's interesting - the sea plane is set at a y position of 0 so I can't imagine how that could happen... You can press F3 to get a debug overlay showing your position, maybe you could verify that the Y value looks correct?

Autodrive is in the middle of the road because it was much easier to implement. I'll see if I can get around to letting you choose a more legal lane-follow option.


I think what happened is that some people perceive they go upwards even when going flat. I discovered that after I once tried to stop at the top of a hill but already was beyond the top because the car started to roll down by itself. Perhaps you could adjust some angles of view?


I think you're probably right. The camera's pitch exactly matches the car's pitch, so I'll fiddle with having it maybe only take 50% from it.


that's what I tried, it always rolls back and I went clearly long time uphill and at best only flat, but clearly never went downhill to make up for same elevation as I gained to be back at same level with sea where I end up no matter how long I go uphill


When driving down country roads in the UK, it's normal to drive in the middle of the road - or entirely on the other side of the road, briefly, if:

  * You have a clear view of the road ahead
  * You're wanting to drive fairly quickly, which is when this road positioning can help
