Realistic Car Physics [B42]

Steam Workshop


Realistic Car Physics:
Requires manual Install! See install section for details!

A Car Physics Overhaul Mod. Features include:
Towing is now 100% easier: Someone left the brakes on the towed vehicle! Towed vehicles glide with ease behind you.. and crash into you if you stop too suddenly. Tire pressure also matters a lot for towing speed.

Different vehicles have different RPM red lines and hit them in every gear before shifting if you floor it! Listen to your engine roar to life when you floor it!

Tires now visually lockup during hand braking and spin out if losing friction when accelerating. Tire friction based on tire type and condition limits accelerations. Enhanced tire skidding noises when burning out, turning hard and locking up the hand brake.

Accurately simulated 4 speed auto transmission with torque converter and alternate transmissions up to 8 speeds available via Project Summer Car (To be released!)

Transmission automatically up shifts to save fuel when you apply partial throttle and down shifts when you apply full throttle just like a real automatic transmission!

Horsepower tweaks made by mods now properly affect acceleration.

Disables autostart when you press the gas pedal. Click the engine icon or press engine start (default N) instead! (Soon to be optional!)
