Classes

ClutchComponent

Friction clutch between the engine and the transmission. Slip torque sets the maximum transferable torque at a given engagement level; higher values engage faster, lower values are more progressive. Automatic, user-input and manual control modes.

DifferentialComponent

Differential component that distributes torque between two outputs (typically left and right wheels) while allowing speed differences during cornering and varying traction conditions.

EngineComponent

Simulates internal combustion engines (ICE) or electric motors. Supplies drivetrain power based on throttle input, RPM, and power curves.

EngineComponent.ForcedInduction

Simulates forced induction systems (turbocharger or supercharger) that increase engine power output.

Powertrain

Coordinates the drivetrain from engine to wheels.

PowertrainComponent

Base class for all powertrain components. Components form a chain from EngineComponent (power source) to WheelComponent (power sink), which always outputs to WheelController. Each component adds its inertia to the system total, so higher inertia means slower spin-up and spin-down.

TransmissionComponent

Gearbox between the clutch and the differential or wheels. Holds the gear ratios and the shift logic for Manual, Automatic, AutomaticSequential, CVT and External types.

WheelComponent

Wheel node in the powertrain. Applies drive torque, distributes brake torque, and connects to the WheelController for physics simulation.

Enums

ClutchComponent.ClutchControlType

How clutch engagement and disengagement are controlled.

DifferentialType

Type of differential mechanism for torque distribution.

EngineComponent.EngineType

Type of engine simulation to use, affecting starting behavior, stalling, and torque characteristics.

EngineComponent.ForcedInduction.ForcedInductionType

Forced induction type, which controls boost behavior and response.

TransmissionComponent.AutomaticTransmissionDNRShiftType

How much driver input a D/N/R change needs on an automatic, so the selector cannot be moved between drive modes by accident.

TransmissionComponent.TransmissionShiftType

Transmission type, from fully automatic through to fully manual.

Delegates

EngineComponent.CalculateTorque

Delegate for a function that calculates engine output torque.

EngineComponent.CanRunModifier

Delegate for a function that checks if the engine can run.

EngineComponent.PowerModifier

Delegate for a function that modifies engine power.

TransmissionComponent.Shift

Custom shift logic, assigned when transmissionType is External. Use it for shift patterns the built-in types do not cover, such as a sport or economy map.
