+6 months after our last official release, v2.3.0, we are with you again to bring you a summary of the development progress of Speed Dreams since then.
+Just after that date, Xavier Bertaux has been very busy with very noticeable changes in the project code, such as something as important as the **new Tire Model**, which allows a much **more realistic degradation and temperatures** than with the previous model (this new code is based on the work of **Bernhard Wymann** from [TORCS](https://sourceforge.net/projects/torcs/), and also the possibility to choose **5 different types of tire compounds** (1-Soft, 2-Medium, 3-Hard, 4-Wet and 5-Extreme wet, only for MPA11 and MPA12 for the moment). As you know, this is a critical aspect of any car simulator, hence its importance. Other important changes are the following:
+<ul>
+- Added the new **Kurpfalzring** circuit track, based on the old Hockenheimring circuit. (Xavier Bertaux)<br><a href="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/kurpfalzring.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4022" src="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/kurpfalzring.jpg" alt="A pic from the old Hockenheim" width="500" height="280"></a>
+- Added the new **Jarama** circuit track, based on the well-known Spanish circuit (leillo)
+- Added the new **Atlanta** road track <strong>(WIP)</strong>, a fictional urban circuit in this USA city. (Xavier Bertaux)
+- Updated the **Braga** and <strong>Dijon-Prenois</strong> tracks with many corrections, new objects, cameras and various improvements. (leillo)<br><a href="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/braga.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-4020 aligncenter" src="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/braga.jpg" alt="First Curve on Vasco Sameiro circuit" width="500" height="313"></a>
+- **Removed recorded time**, and added seasons. Now the weather data is taken from servers with real information using a formula based in season, time and day. (Xavier Bertaux)
+- **OSG Hud completely renewed**, with new widgets and the possibility of <strong>customizing it using Ctrl+8</strong> (Madbad)
+- **Lots of changes in trackeditor**, including the ability to add and edit individual objects, or clean up adjacent objects, perform automatic interactive corrections on segments, plus lots of changes to trackgen and accc. (IOByte)<br><a href="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/trackeditor_.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4023" src="https://www.speed-dreams.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/trackeditor_.jpg" alt="New options for trackeditor" width="500" height="389"></a>
+- <strong>Experimental Simu V4.1</strong> in MPA12 (only for long ovals and road courses) and LSGT1 cars. Added lateral and longitudinal force heat multipliers (June Ravenmoon)
+</ul>

+</blockquote>
+<em><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> At this moment the game only works on the Semi-Pro and Pro skill levels (on "Player &amp; Controls"). At other levels the car will not even move. We continue working to implement this feature in all skills. It should be noted that the car <strong>categories optimized for this new model are MPA11, MPA12 and SuperCars</strong>. We also want to inform you that to test the experimental version 4.1 of Simu (in Options-&gt;Simulation: Physics Engine), you must try it with the "TEST" versions of the MPA11 and LS-GT1 category.</em>
+We want you try and enjoy these new features, and for this we have created packages for Windows and GNU/Linux (Installer and AppImage) that **include all the official and WIP content** of Speed Dreams. Remember that these builds are totally experimental and contain new features that are still in development, so they may contain bugs and need a lot of polishing and optimization, but we would love that you give us your feedback in our <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/speed-dreams/discussion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forums</a> or chat, or report any errors you find in our <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/speed-dreams/tickets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tickets system</a>.

+<em>(About GNU/Linux AppImage, certain distributions (such as Arch and derivatives) may require installing "libxcrypt-compat" to run it.)</em>
+</blockquote>
+To illustrate many of these changes we have created a video where you can see how the temperature and degradation behaves with the MPA12 (Indycar 2012) on the new tire model , the new appearance and all the new features of the new HUD, and the new Kurpfalzring track. We hope you like it:
