A full 24-hour simulation of the Ascari circuit using Vehicle Physics Pro. From bright daylight to dark night and back again. This simulator was developed to train for a real endurance race at the Ascari Resort Track.

The overall shape appears correct, but the noise in the graph suggests a possible numerical issue with the sign of the resulting longitudinal force in the calculations.

Here are eight views of the same wheel model under different conditions. Everything looks nominal except for the longitudinal force when the wheel transitions from freely rolling (slip = 0) to fully braked.

With the analysis tool (right), we can click any point in the plot and pause execution just before it’s calculated. This lets us trace the process step by step, pinpoint the issue, and fix it.

The final tire force (white, left) should smoothly transition fro m the raw tire force (green) to the available tire force (red) as the vehicle approaches a stop. Instead, it jumps abruptly from one value to the other.

The importance of real-time graphical analysis in tire model development. What looked like a minor effect in the tire forces during testing revealed a major discontinuity in the adhesion zone.

“I own way too many car controllers than I would like to admit. This one is by far best.”

Thank you for the wonderful review on Edy’s Vehicle Physics! Support for Unity’s new Input System is coming in the next major version 😉

My favorite driving trick: putting a car on two wheels. Also a proof test of realism for vehicle simulation models.

The image shows unexpected instabilities in the lateral tire force at very low speeds, where the lateral force becomes insufficient to counteract lateral friction. In this case, the model must redirect the “unused” longitudinal force to be applied laterally.

For example, you could run two instances of the exact same vehicle, each with a different tire model, and compare their behavior.

The 424 now limits electric regen power at the start of the lap, since the battery begins fully charged and cannot accept additional energy until about 2 km into the run.

Developing a real-time terrain interactions tool for Unity for an idea I'm prototyping. Mainly catering to vehicles, but it should work for anything that needs real-time deformation with physics (i.e explosions) & per-texture properties (i.e physics, particles). It's been a fun new challenge 👀

Visualizing Slip Ratio (left) and Slip Angle (right) as calculated by Vehicle Physics Pro. As part of the ongoing redesign of the tire flex model, we need to ensure that these calculations remain perfectly smooth and continuous across their full range.
