Yep, for car scripting I'm mainly looking to add stuff for development/testing, and when they are mature enough, Ruud can implement them properly.
Ie, we have had ABS and TCS for years, but neither were particularly great. Kudos to Ruud to add them at all, but scripting means we can develop these things for longer and with more refinements, then Ruud can simply make a call on how best to implement them using the communities long-term developments around them.
Ie, ABS/TCS using slip ratios, or varying the f/r wheel speed ratios with actual speed, etc etc...
There is SOOOOOoooooo much potential to make soooo many areas of Racer so much better, but we just can't because we are limited to what Ruud allows us to do via his implementations of things. ABS and TCS haven't really been revisited since they were added 5 years ago, yet for 90% of the cars we have in Racer they are really important as to realism!
So I'm all for not using scripting, but if it gets the community developing and bug-fixing and determining the best process to do ABS or TCS or ESP, and then Ruud can just come along and integrate it properly and see what we want from it by what we have done, then all the better?!
Hmmm
