HANDLING LAB / A → B

Find your flow.

Compare A / Original and B / Responsive on the same coastal course. Try the slalom, hold a drift through the bottom bend, then take a ramp or cliff jump.

01 / Learn the slide

Tap Gas once to keep accelerating. Slide the steering rail left or right. Small movements make gentle corrections; the ends give full steering. In B, steer and hold Drift above 7 m/s; steer into the turn to tighten it, countersteer to widen it, then release Drift for a quick, smooth return to grip. Brake overrides Gas.

02 / Leave the ground

Left lane: an 8 m ramp. Right lane: a 10 m level cliff. Your actual takeoff velocity sets the flight. Use Boost menu for six-direction bursts or Jump + forward. Midair boosts add thrust; ordinary steering does not change flight.

03 / Test contact

Nudge another buggy on the center straight. Hard impacts reduce integrity. Recovery repairs your vehicle and gives brief contact protection.

Drivers Handling Camera Playback Opposite seating

A/B changes the ground handling only. Both use the improved touch rail. Keep the same camera and playback speed for a fair comparison. Tap your A/B badge or Compare / Pause to switch and repeat an approach. Planning stops everyone.

Test these controls on Dreadnought Coast → Rally Command Student Library

Keyboard: P1 W/A/D, S or Space brake, Shift drift. P2 arrows, Down brake, Enter drift. P1 boost: V forward, C backward, Q/E sides, R/F up/down, Z jump + forward. Escape pauses everyone. Every driver has a touch Boost menu.

ALL DRIVERS PAUSED

Plan the next run.

Planning has no time penalty.

Follow the painted loop: ramp on the left, cliff on the right, drift bend at the bottom. The outside lanes bypass both jumps. The central straight is for contact tests.

Repeated trials: choose a driver and return to a clear approach. Recovery restores integrity; it does not erase observed jump results.

SAME APPROACH / DIFFERENT FEEL

Driver Approach

Selected driver's handling All cameras

Apply & repeat uses the selected Driver and Approach. Repairs and stops that driver, refills their boost reserves, and preserves observed jumps. Resume when everyone is ready. For a one-driver comparison, repeat the same approach with A, then B.

Physics and prototype rules

SI units; g = 9.8 m/s². Four rigid wheel contacts. A retains the original tire model. B uses stronger ground cornering, guided drift angle, speed retention and assisted exit: fictional arcade handling, not a physical tire model. Camera and touch choices never change flight. Airborne motion has no drag or steering; an active boost adds its declared acceleration to gravity. Powered jumps are not single unpowered projectile trials. Landing suspension is simplified: normal impacts up to 14.5 m/s are cushioned. Integrity, three-second repairs and brief contact protection are game rules, not assessment scores. Collisions can interrupt a ballistic trial. Observations appear only after a landing.

Use each driver's Ramp and Cliff records to compare a prediction with actual takeoff height, horizontal and vertical speed, flight time and landing displacement. Free-drive observations are temporary. Boost & calibration provides separate saved prediction trials and export; neither mode provides certification.
