Thanks everyone for an amazing Summer sale and an even better VR sale. Im glad to see so many people picking up the game for their new headsets and giving it a try. I have taken on some of the feedback and the result is pretty compelling.

This update showcases the new, new, (new?) garage system. It is a huge improvement from the original garage because:

Instant Edit. Now you can move parts around without setting them, just adjust and save!
Flight Sim Mode. Instead of loading into a test scene, you can immediately swap into the sim area and test with your controllers. The sim area is endless, so you can test top speed as well as agility.
Flight/Edit Quick Change. Quickly flip between editing and testing for a very fast tuning experience.
Realtime HUD. Monitor your skimmers stats with the new HUD overlay.
Realtime Visualizations. Monitor your skimmers thrusts and gyro with the vis tools.

Also featured in this update:

Optimized garage code.
Bias can now be controlled by an analogue axis.
Diverter settings can now be edited through the Advanced ECU button.
Diverter can change 1)Initial Bias and 2) Max Boost Level.
Improved "Noctis Chasma" track.
Improved cursor performance.
Optimized collision meshes.
And more!

Next up on the list is ghost replays for you and (hopefully) leaderboard players. Keep up the great track times and I will give you heads up when it's all ready.

If you like what I have done with the game and want to see more. Give me a good review on Steam reviews.

Cheers! Ryan

Vector 36 is Physics-Based Racer set on the terraformed surface of Mars. You pilot a Skimmer, a completely customizable, surface skimming vehicle. With total control over every component, you are responsible for how your Skimmer performs. Piloting skill and engineering make the difference between winning and losing.

Race other pilots through various tracks on Mars. Compete in Sprint, Circuit, or Tournament modes to win credits, parts, or new Skimmers.

Each part of your Skimmer is bound by the laws of physics. Moving internal components will shift the center of gravity, adjusting angles to thrusters will affect its flight characteristics.

Fine tuning is the difference between winning and losing. Choose from a wide selection of parts, accessories, passive weapons, or support gear to adjust your Skimmer to its task. Whether it's a quick sprint at full boost, an endurance race with hardened parts, or a hill climb where lift is more important than thrust; evolve or get left behind.

Witness new skimmers, tracks, obstacles, support bots, parts, weapons, opponents and game modes. Vector36 will be growing over time.

Full Oculus Rift support will be followed by HTC Vive.
