What's new in Town?
- FIXED: cars are missing.
- Shadows under the cars.
- Car engine sound added. This is a first attempt to pick a good sound. Do you like it?

Hi Pasha,

Everything seems to work fine.

I like the idea of the cars making sound.
However to me they sound more or less like the wind right now, sorry.
The fading in and out is great though!
Maybe you were also thinking about adding some horn sounds every now and then?
Are you aware that only the beetles have tail lights at the moment?

A few things I've been meaning to ask you earlier:

- Is it possible to have the street light on the ground follow the movements of the lights of the lanterns when it's windy?
- Is it possible to let the cars and buses have transparent windows for a more realistic look?
- Sometimes a person dressed in grey clothes passes by.
Since the grey is (almost) the same as the color of the street I see only feet and/or a purse moving.
But then I have old eyes...... :wink:

Just a few of my thoughts,
Fred

Hi Pasha,

I like the headlights on all of the cars and the bus.
I like the sound of the engine.
It is a nice smooth idle.

The Land Rover moves faster than the rest of the cars.
Should it's engine have a different sound?

This is a suggestion for the future.
When I am bike riding and stop at an intersection that may have a hill blocking my sight,
I listen for the hum of the car tires.
The hum of the car tires is an important sound.

:good:

Fred,
- sure, the horn sound and many others are planned;
- we are going to play a little with the car sounds. I don't like the current one because it makes the landscape noisy too much;
- I've asked Yura about the tail lights. This is intentional;
- yes, we have plans to move the spotlight along the motion of the lantern, but it would take efforts;
- I think it's ok if some people are hard to see. But going to ask Yura for the final decision.

Marty,
- different engine sounds are planned, but would take more efforts, sounds are hard to make;
- car tires hum? Probably... Bike is planned.

Thank you for detailed inspection of our work and the compliments, guys!
