I made this open-source on intents for people to mess around with it, though, it's open-source under MIT and CC BY 4.0 terms. The most basic thing you could do if you were to ever simply distribute it is to credit me.
Thanks nate! I appreciate your experience with my engine.
And well, aerodynamics has not yet been perfected so it may be worked on soon. I will try to make the code coherent in the future so everyone will be more confident on using it for their games too.
Well regardless, steering and shift assistance will be improved in the near future. Thank you for your feedback.
In my advice, you may want to try lowering "Steer Amount Decay" a bit, so you can turn a little sharper at higher speeds, but you'd need a balance to combat against understeer. You can use mouse steering to steer precisely. Though, some cars that typically has only a spoiler won't oversteer at high speeds due to their stronger rear downforce, and I may have over-exaggerated that concept. However they don't have precise aerodynamic algorithms as presented in flight simulators just yet, so I may add it next time. It's also the case that a more front-biased weight distribution is likely to cause more understeer despite having more traction at the front, also for rear-wheel drive cars with open differentials. There is no "fall" in friction yet but I'll add it. Drifting might seem off for now, but if you have the project file, you can lock the differentials on each RWD car to budge sideways better.
Shifting to reverse with max Shift Assist Level might have taken too long, so I'll improve it as said. I don't see a relation between that and steering assistance let alone spinning out and getting the same response. There isn't any sort of damage system to the cars. The closest thing to that is stalling, and that's pretty much it. The fire only emits from the exhaust and nowhere else. Backfiring occurs more on the 2 turbocharged cars considering that apparently rally cars and drift missiles have an anti-lag system.
You may try GDSim. It's another car simulator on Godot, but not made by me. It potentially has more perfected algorithms compared to VitaVehicle at this time. It's not open-source, but the developer has a course of calculating car physics somewhere else on the internet. It should be possible to find.
Reply with your comments here, it's not all that mandatory though, but it's to keep the community from multiplying topics, just in case.
I appreciate your support and criticism and I do look forward to adding your suggestions into the game. IOS and MacOS compatibilities may come in the final release of the game and all bugs and glitches that derived from the demo phase would be fixed.
