Just to let any Mac racers out there know, I have released the first game in my Auto Precision Driving Series. The game is called simply enough..... "Auto Sport Driving". It is the first in a new series of Mac racing games (hey, the Windows side has enough of them to choose from wink.gif ) that will eventually include this sports car racing title along with stock car and truck, Open Wheel, Cart and Rally games. It is a small title due to the fact that my development studio consists of me and...well...me. Paolo Cattani (physics guru and engine creator) was a prime consultant during the development of the game and will continue to do so for the next games in the series. But remember, this is a small title. I want to bring a really nice driving and racing experience to the Mac that is a little more realistic, but not impossible. Also, the AI is smart, smooth and tough to beat on higher levels. The AI is some of the best in any sim on Mac or PC.

Here are some features of Auto Sport Driving
- Realistic Physics Engine
- Stereoscopic 3D Technology (Anaglyph/Anachrome Tested)(Shutter tech is actually implemented, but will not run on any Mac gfx cards yet)
- Wheel and Gamepad Support with FFB* (Logitech and Macally tested)
- Online Racing with Lobby Support
- Scalable graphics options to accommodate all Intel Macs
- Cockpit Views to heighten the immersion
- Pick-up-and-play (most tuning options have been removed in this version to appeal to the casual gaming crowd also. Hardcore versions will come later)

*FFB has been disabled (actually left out) in Lion, but can be easily put back in. FFB works with Logitech wheels only on Lion right now. Thrustmaster wheels have been tested and work, but with no FFB effects. The game works really well with the MacAlly iShockX too.

Updated News:
1. Version 1.1.0 is waiting for review and will add the Millstowe Speedway Oval track for you to race on!
2. Contest coming soon with prizes like the Logitech Driving Force GT Wheel!


Here are a few pics...

A couple of updates....

I am now testing the quick and smooth 357 Racing Series. This racing series will be available in the v1.2.0 update. I will have some spy shots soon wink.gif

I have now set up a really crappy facebook site for the game here. If anyone has the time, please like the page. I could use every bit of publicity for the game. I would really like to create a series of games that Mac Racers can be proud of, but it will take a lot of time.

Batterseas

Frank's helmet and likeness will be featured along with advertisements for his website, FrankHartRacing.com, and Batterseas. Players will be able to select a car very similar to the Mazda2 Frank pilots in Grand-Am TOTAL Performance Showcase, and compete against his AI replicant in competitive races comprising of the same vehicle. Or you can select and play as Frank himself – put him on pole where he belongs!

Well, it has been a thought. I am not very familiar with programming for iOS. But it would be fairly easy to get the game running on it. It uses a simplified version of OpenGL, so some changes would need to be made. But the archival structure of the game lends itself well to porting for Apple mobile devices. That is why you see some iOS games eventually come out on Mac and some Mac games out on iOS. But I am focused on the Mac right now. Also, I uploaded another video of the Sportsmans Course on my youtube channel.

I have uploaded 2 new videos to the SiniScope youtube channel. You can also find them on the Official Auto Sport Driving Media page.

One shows the G27 being used with Auto Sport Driving and the other shows the new SRW-S1 wheel being used. The SRW-S1 is simply a fantastic controller! We now have support for the portable wheel built into the game and will be available in a very near future update. The G27 is, in my opinion, the best wheel for the game. It has fantastic FFB and it feels very comfortable with its leather and steel construction.

Auto Sport Driving: SRW-S1 (SimRaceWay) Wheel compatibility coming soon

That's looking lovely! Nice work!
JaguarGod
Thanks Tursi. It is definitely a labor of love for me. I have so much future content that I am adding, but it takes so much time. ohmy.gif

Here are a couple of pics of the Lakefront Airport Track BETA. Remember, if you like the game, please rate or even review the game. The more positive reviews the game gets, the better the chances of good sales. I want to keep creating content for free, but it really needs a lot more sales.

Thank you Mac Racers!
