+## Physically realistic, stable and fun vehicle physics in Unity / PhysX
+
+__Live demo:__ [http://www.edy.es/unity/offroader.html][1]  
+__Documentation:__ [http://projects.edy.es/trac/edy_vehicle-physics/wiki/WikiStart][8]  
+__Videos:__ [http://www.youtube.com/user/EdyJ#grid/user/B7AEBA14B84643F2][9]
+
+4 vehicles: Pickup / GTA4-Pickup / Bus / Sport Coupe (select with PgUp / PgDown).  
+Driving aids. Vehicle damage. Visual tire effects.
+
+#### Based on Unity's standard WheelCollider component:
+- Realistic behavior with extremely low CPU cost, as everything is handled directly from the PhysX core.
+- Suitable for iPhone, mobile devices, and low-end systems.
+- Can handle dozens of physically active vehicles in the same scene at effective CPU cost.
+- Wheel's friction curves can be adjusted on the fly and get the result in the game instantly.
+- Telemetry shows the friction curves and the wheel's slip rate in realtime, which allows rapid fine-tunning (B then shift-B, see pic).
+- Realistic suspension: spring, damper, stabilizer bar, weight transfers.
+
+#### Focused on gameplay, simplicity and efficiency:
+- Features motor power, brake power, steering angle, anti-roll, traction balance (front, rear, or anything in between), brake balance, sideways grip balance (controls oversteer / understeer), aerodynamic drag, max speed...
+- Driving aids: ABS limits the brake power, TC limits the motor power, ESP limits the steering angle with speed.
+- Stabilizer (anti-roll) bars control the chances of the car to flip over.
+- Visual effects: skidmarks, realistic tire smoke and burnouts.
+- Fully customizable car damage (min force, max deformation, impact radius...) that also affects the wheels and handling.
+
+#### Easy to use and integrate in any project:
+- Car physics core consists in three small script files (less than 1000 lines together).
+- A brand new car can be up and running from scratch (no prefabs) in two minutes.
+- Additional script files available for other features (car settings, car cameras, telemetry, etc.)
+- Exposes as few parameters as possible, each one with specific and predictable effect in the car's handling & behavior (less parameters means easier to configure the gameplay).
+- Can simulate a broad range of four wheeled vehicles (city car, offroad, pickup, truck, bus, sports car, racing car...) with more to come.
+
+#### Terms & Conditions (code only):
+- Use for unlimited time, any number of projects, royalty-free.
+- Keep the copyright notices on top of the source files.
+- Resale or redistribute as anything except a final product to the end user (asset / library / engine / middleware / etc.) is not allowed.
+- Put me (Angel Garcia "Edy") in your game's credits as author of the vehicle physics.
+
+Bug reports, improvements to the code, suggestions on further developments, etc are always welcome.
