API Referenceveextensions

Aero Debug

Calculates and visualizes aerodynamic forces, drag coefficients, and center of pressure for vehicle aerodynamic tuning.

Calculates and visualizes aerodynamic forces, drag coefficients, and center of pressure for vehicle aerodynamic tuning. Useful during vehicle development to verify downforce distribution and drag characteristics.


Public API

FunctionSignatureDescription
(hook-driven)—This extension operates via hooks and renders debug overlays automatically when loaded.

State Fields

M.directionVector    -- Forward direction vector for aero calculations
M.directionVectorUp  -- Up direction vector
M.directionVectorLeft -- Left direction vector (cross product of up × forward)

Hooks

HookDescription
onInitInitializes aerodynamic calculation state and caches aero surface references.

Usage Example

-- Load the extension to visualize aero forces
extensions.load("aeroDebug")

-- Access computed direction vectors
local fwd = extensions.tech_aeroDebug.directionVector
