neodrive

wanted to make an arcade racer with my own brand of insanity. requires a controller. windows only right now but i'll add support for other OSes in the future

Tips

• To start the car, hold the clutch down and press START
• To launch the car, shift into first gear and release the clutch while holding down the gas
• The engine makes peak power around 6500 RPM
  
• Unless you're launching the car, dropping below 1500 RPM will stall it
• Shifting down into a gear that requires a higher RPM than the engine is capable of (money shift) will also stall the engine
• Launching at peak power is a perfect launch, and is acknowledged
• Rev matching your shifts is also acknowledged

Controls

• LT: Brake
• RT: Gas
• LB: Clutch
• RB + Right Stick: Camera
• Right Stick Up (with clutch pressed): gear up
• Right Stick Down (with clutch pressed): gear down
• Left Stick: Steer, flip vehicle if turned over
• A: handbrake (tap A to disable TCS and start a drift, hold A for handbrake)
• D-Pad Up: Cycle camera
• D-pad Down: Toggle telemetry
• Y: Boost (when meter is in the blue)

You can gain boost from drifting, turning at the limit right before TCS kicks in, and rev-matching your shifts.
