JLV 's NEWS

Hello JLV,

I'm writing on behalf of the players of MX Simulator, who are eagerly awaiting updates.

We understand that you're running this project solo, and we truly value everything you've already implemented—like the terrain shader updates and the "treadmark" feature for visible tire tracks
.

However, many of us are wondering:

When can we expect a new official update? The most recent snapshot is from March 2025, and it only included a fix for a decal-deletion crash

What are you currently working on? Is the terrain texturing, performance optimization, or decal trail system still in development? According to forum posts from May 2023, work on terrain decal rendering was nearing completion around that time

Why has communication been so limited? We'd appreciate even small updates or rough timelines so we know the project is still active.

Are there new developments on motorcycle audio improvements? Any timelines or progress to share?

Finally, is there a chance for new official chassis such as Ducati, Triumph, or Stark? Many players have hoped for these additions for a while, and we'd love to know if there are plans for them in the near future or if they remain long-term goals.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide—even a rough roadmap or estimated timeline would be much appreciated. We know this remains a truly independent passion project, and we’re grateful for all the work you’ve done.

All the best —
A dedicated MX Simulator player

Working on doing all shading via a high dynamic range environment map instead of directional lighting with a separate environment map pass. It's been slow going because outside issues are taking up all my time. Sorry! Once I get more time I'll be updating more frequently.

thank you very much for your consideration
