Players from the USA, Canada, and Japan (where statistically, a great majority of cars use automatic transmission) will be delighted to know that automatic transmission is coming to DayZ. No more manual gear shifting for you all! Devs claim that driving will be easier and more enjoyable in the future, which should appeal to a more casual audience. And also there is going to be a military humvee-looking vehicle in the game.
You will also notice that when you stop sprinting in 1.19, there will be visible inertia (it will take you some time to stop). More cool navigation stuff will be available as well. When you have the map and the GPS you’ll be able to tell more precisely where you are located.
