Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam + Better Race Graphics (alpha) 1.2a1

you'll basically get four buttons to control your drivers' "auto" behavior.

• separated control for auto strategy and auto pit.
• separated control for each driver.

you can toggle the camera mode between normal (top-down view) and chase cam by pressing 'C' on your keyboard.

• Has smooth transition when going to and out of chase cam and when changing the targeted driver.
• doesn't prevent you from rotating the camera, instead it lets you look at whatever you want and then after a few seconds it goes back to behind the car.

also you can Hide/Show the HUD by pressing the 'H' key on your keyboard during race

first of all, keep in mind that the BetterRaceGraphics part of this is an alpha release and it hasn't been tested enough (not sure if it even works on mac). for this reason, I've also included a version of the mod without the better graphics part.

known issues:

• Missing driver models.
• Endurance cars become too metallic when brought to the race.
• Car models are made by the most default version of each series, so part models are not synchronized with player's parts.

features:

• Wheel spin physics.
• LOD based rendering.

note: This mod doesn't work with modded car models. if you're using modded models for some of your vehicles only those that aren't modded will be affected by this mod.

Gives you the ability to pass the control of your drivers to the AI. and a bit more.

Update notes:

• separated the two driver's control
• fixed an issue where one of the buttons kept losing its state at the beginning of each session

on top of this, you can now toggle the game's camera to chase cam by pressing 'C' on your keyboard.

• Has smooth transition when going to and out of chase cam and when changing the targeted driver.
• doesn't prevent you from rotating the camera, instead it lets you look at whatever you want and then after a few seconds it goes back to behind the car.

Also now you can hide the HUD by simply pressing the 'H' key on your keyboard.

1. take a backup from the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file located in "Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Managed".
2. replace it with the same file downloaded from here

that's it for now, let me know if you find any issues

note: this mod has been built for MM 1.53

simply adds two buttons in the UI to give the control of your cars (engine modes and driving style, or pit stops) to the AI.

1. take a backup from the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file located in "Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Managed".
2. replace it with the same file downloaded from here

for those of you who want to merge this with other mods that mess with the Assembly-CSharp file here are the diffs with the vanilla one:
ConsoleCommands.cs
added isUsingAIForPitting in SessionManager.cs
GaragePathState.cs/SimulationUpdate()
GridPathState.cs/OnEnter()
SessionStrategy.cs/OnEnterGate()
SessionStrategy.cs/OnSafetyCarEvent()
SessionStrategy.cs/SimulationUpdate()
SessionHUD.cs

basically, if you put the speed on 'x12' the AI controls your cars. this way you'll be able to gain your control back by simply changing the speed whenever AI gets stupid and things go wrong.

I had to sacrifice normal speed in order to make room for two 'x12's. one controlled by the AI, and one controlled by the player. so basically things are like this now:
the zip file contains a second version of the mod for those who don't want the speeds altered.

1. take a backup from the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file located in "Motorsport Manager\MM_Data\Managed".
2. replace it with your chosen version of the mod downloaded from here.

for those of you who want to merge this with other mods that mess with the Assembly-CSharp file here are the diffs with the vanilla one:

• GameTimer.cs/GetSimulationTimeScale() for putting Autorace on x12
• GameTimer.cs/speedMultipliers for altering the speeds

I would've merged this with perfect setup myself but I'm not sure if that kind of stuff is allowed here.
