Cars – Tyre Types

There are certain settings CSP tries to guess based on tyre names, but sometimes with custom tyre names it doesn’t work as expected (since it’s a racing sim, fallback tyre type is always a slick, which can make cars with tyres with unexpected names behave extra slippery during the rain).

Instead of learning all the guessing rules and tinkering with names, please consider adding a new TYPE_HINT parameter next to regular NAME and SHORT_NAME. Some types support optional modifiers set as TYPE_HINT_MODIFIER as well. Known values:

• TREADED: regular street tyres, good at driving on water or gravel.

• VINTAGE_PERFORMANCE: older sporty tyres.

• RACING_TREADED: racing tyres that can channel water away, but not good at gravel.

• SLICK: slick tyres, terrible on anything wet.

• SEMISLICK: semislick tyres, have some difficulties on wet surfaces.

• RAIN: actual rain tyres (if any present, CSP won’t generate rain tyres).

• GRAVEL: tyres for offroading (added in 0.2.4-preview1).

  • TYPE_HINT_MODIFIER = RALLY1: modern aggressive rally tyres.
