Prototype Phase 01: Scripted Kinematic Drift Initiation
Default Unreal Engine 5 Chaos tire integration natively suffers from a binary loss of rear traction under heavy loads. This iteration shows the implementation of custom Pacejka-style lateral slip graphs and side-slip modifiers (tuned to 0.8), establishing a predictable breakaway transition. By modulating engine torque curves during oversteer, the car can seamlessly catch and ride the razor's edge of a slide without losing momentum.
