Dummy Controller

A minimal "Main" controller implementation that provides the required interface without any powertrain logic. Used for testing, props, or vehicles that don't need engine/transmission simulation (e.g., trailers, static objects). Maps raw inputs directly to electrics values.

Drive Modes

Manages vehicle-wide driving profiles (e.g., Comfort, Sport, Eco) that simultaneously adjust multiple systems including engine response, transmission behavior, steering weight, exhaust sound, and suspension stiffness. Provides a unified interface for switching between pre-configured vehicle personalities.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Manages Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System (TCS) interventions. Monitors yaw rate, lateral slip, and wheel spin to selectively apply brakes and reduce engine torque, keeping the vehicle stable. Supports multiple ESC modes and automated calibration.
