Autobahn Police Simulator 3 Update 1.1.0 Patch Notes

Gameplay

• The missions “Tick-Tock,” available at rank 25, and “Fast as Lightning,” available at rank 45, are now available. If you have passed the rank already, you can start the missions on the mission board in the police department or at the mission point in the world.
• The shooting range is now available on the training mission board behind the police department, where you also can start the driving school missions.
• The securing task in the mission “Danger of Explosions” was removed, and the initial parking stop was moved. Now your police car blocks the oncoming traffic and leaves you more time to rescue the NPCs.
• The icon for the mission board was changed to better distinguish between the NPCs and the mission board.
• Tweaked spawn probabilities for procedural content and added a system to increase the probabilities according to the required tasks of the current rank.
• Changed the driving school rank tasks to not count previously completed driving school challenges. To complete the tasks, you now need to do the challenges again.
• The timer to fail mission “Hold-Up!” if you are near the gangsters was decreased.
• Tweaked enemy positions in mission “Hold-Up!”
• Changed conditions for some bonus tasks in missions “Hold-Up!”, “Out of Control” and “Sting!”
• Tweaked gameplay for mission “Undercover Investigation”
• Tweaked vehicle controls for all player vehicles.
• Changed the probabilities for the reasons as of why a broken-down car holds and if the driver wears his vest, has the hazard flashers on, or places the warning triangle.
• Changed the description of the “Unlock Tech Tree Item” rank task to prevent confusion if multiple items with similar names exist.
• Changed calculation for vehicle violations while using Intuition now Intuition is a bit more accurate regarding vehicles with violations.
• Changed the played radio calls after starting a car chase triggered by a radio call to better fit the reason why the car escaped.
• Car Chases can now be canceled.
• We added an AI for Stefan for the first batch of missions (“Danger of Explosions”, “Animal Road Hazard,” and “Under Surveillance”). More will follow.
