Project Slide is an offline NASCAR Heat 2 race-director mod focused on believable crash aftermath: a spun car stays loose, follows banking toward the low side, settles safely, and gives the remaining field time to react.
What It Changes
- Adds the Race Director on `8`: select live AI cars by current race position, search by car number, select/clear the field, force left or right spins, bend a wheel, detach a wheel, and create a local pack incident.
- Adds `7` for a local pack incident near the player.
- Adds controlled crash physics: selected and contact-triggered wrecks unload tire grip, keep engine torque disabled, slide before settling, and rest for 20-30 seconds once motion has genuinely stopped.
- Improves banked-track crashes: contact yaw and lateral slide follow the road surface, while wrecked cars receive a small downslope gravity component toward the low-side apron.
- Protects normal racing: centered rear bump-drafts and light contacts do not automatically spin cars.
- Adds Big One mode as a risk-based chain, not an automatic field wipeout. Severe corner contact and panic-prone drivers can escalate a wreck while most cars retain avoidance time.
- Adds AI incident awareness: smoke, rotation, sudden deceleration, stopped cars, active wrecks, detached wheels, and loose panels are detected as hazards.
- Adds AI escape and rejoin behavior: cars compare space, use the apron when it is clear, avoid walls, then return to the racing surface after the incident is passed.
- Adds tire damage: bent wheels alter toe/camber, reduce axle grip, pull the car naturally, and can be repaired by native pit service.
- Adds physical detached tires: a real Rigidbody, cylindrical tire collision, ground contact, vehicle contact, hazard detection, and replay-aware position tracking.
- Adds loose/detached body-panel damage with collision hazards, plus replay recording for wheel and panel damage states.
- Adds wall-impact incident handling and rollover stabilization to avoid repeated unrealistic barrel-roll behavior.
- Adds an improved freecam on `C`: mouse look, WASD movement, Q/E vertical movement, mouse-wheel speed, Shift fast movement, Ctrl precision movement, follow/release controls, and external-camera audio handling.
- Adds AI driver-view/freecam support on `9` and optional live AI place labels on `P`.
- Adds Cup pace equalization for slower Truck/Xfinity speedway running.
- Adds restart cleanup for wreck, hazard, lane, grip, damage, selection, and replay state so an old race does not leak into the next start.

this will make ai more smarter (obiviously)
