Shift 2 Unleashed: FAQ on Speedhunters

Tuesday, 08.03.2011

Speedhunters published an extensive FAQ, where several questions from the community about Shift 2 Unleashed were answered.

Among many new screenshots some interesting facts were revealed:

how realistic is tire wear? Do different pressures and compounds impact tire life.

Tire wear (along with heat) is modeled and is pretty realistic. Safe to say you'll know you've abused your tyres. For pressures, they affect the tyre spring rate, and the across the tread heating, so ultimately will affect life of the tire.

So how does the painting work? Pre-determined liveries or what?

Each car comes with a group of preset race liveries along with a set of preset colours. Additionally, one can paint the car or the individual body parts with a full range of custom colours and paint types including Gloss, Metallic, Candy, Pearlescent, Chrome, Matte and Flip (twin colour).

You can also make your own custom race livery too. And YES the logos and layouts can be mirrored from one side of the car to the other along with new controls for sizing and placement. You can also determine if the stickers/vinyls are matte or gloss finished for tone on tone effects.
