Usage Guide
1. Automatic Activation
The tire system automatically activates when:
Player enters a configured F1 vehicle
Player is in the driver's seat
Vehicle model exists in
Config.CarModels
The UI automatically shows tire temperature indicators for all four wheels.
2. Understanding the UI
The interface displays:
Four Tire Indicators:
Front Left - Front left tire temperature (%)
Front Right - Front right tire temperature (%)
Rear Left - Rear left tire temperature (%)
Rear Right - Rear right tire temperature (%)
Color Coding:
Blue/Cold - Low temperature, poor grip
Green/Optimal - Ideal temperature, maximum grip
Red/Hot - High temperature, approaching maximum
Percentage Display:
Shows temperature as percentage of min-max range
0% = Minimum temperature (cold)
100% = Maximum temperature (hot)
3. Tire Temperature Management
Heating Tires
During Formation Lap:
Weaving - Steer left and right at moderate speed
Braking - Hard braking zones to heat front tires
Acceleration - Brief burnouts for rear tire heat
During Race:
Cornering - Natural heating through turns
Braking Zones - Heavy braking heats fronts via brake heat transfer
Traction Zones - Wheel spin heats rears
Cooling Effects
Tires naturally cool when:
Low Speed - Below configured
SlowSpeedthresholdStraight Line - Minimal steering input
No Braking - Brakes cool, reducing tire heating
High Speed - Faster cooling at optimal temperature range
Grip Impact
Cold Tires (20-40°C):
60% grip reduction
Significant oversteer/understeer
Longer braking distances
Difficult car control
Warm Tires (60-80°C):
20% grip reduction
Improved but not optimal performance
Better than cold, worse than optimal
Optimal Tires (80°C+):
Full grip
Maximum performance
Best lap times
Predictable handling
