Tire temperature and wear
Added 2023-07-10 10:17:05 +0000 UTCHi all,
I have developed a one dimension tire condition system that encompasses temperature and wear which influences the already existing tire pressure system.
After much testing, it was deemed not yet ready for racing application and was quite promising for road driving and drifting. Therefore it is turned off by default and can be turned on at the settings menu in the worlds.
A short description of how it works:
- When any frictional forces are generated the tire, this will contribute to the temperature and wear.
- After the tire wears down enough, the tire will begin to lose grip exponentially more.
- The tire will also cool down passively, beware that if it cools down below the optimum temperature (bright green on the HUD), it will have less grip.
Please feel free to ask if I should elaborate more on the previous points.
Thank you for your support
