Just wanted to give some impressions about the patch. Everything works smooth and nice. I really like the new engine model for the cars. They feel more alive now
Also tried importing some custom cars from russian forums, works smooth. Now what we need is more missions or maybe some random mission generator (like go from point A to point B within time limit, or within fuel limit, etc. it should be fairly easy to implement since all missions are based on LUA so it shouldn't be hard to create some randomizer for that) next step for CCD/3DI to achieve 'live long in glory and fame' status would be more support for custom content created by users. Im talking about custom maps/building meshes/custom sounds. You should also work on more user-friendly 3rd party car support in UI. XML file is fine but it could be done in game itself, like scanning data&export directories for new files, description.xml file [multilanguage support would be really nice too, Cars.XML can store description in just one language] I think i'll write some custom car 'launcher'/editor frontend in Java/.NET to help out less technically skilled users of 3DI/CCD in spare time
Anyways im really really happy that i've bought CCD. I just hope that we won't have to wait that long for next incremental updates/goods. It's not that much work for you guys, and it's important to build up good fan base not just in russia (i'm pretty sure non-russian userbase is pretty absymal compared to 'natives' but i guess it's wise too make happy even small percentage of customers [that is rest-of-the-non-russian-world]. You guys made really nice educational piece of software that fantastically fills the gap for such "games"
Keep up the great work and don't leave us (non-russians) waiting for next 6 months for any updates.
PS
If you need help with english [or polish] translations in future i would be really happy to help you out just for the sake of releasing patches more often.
