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

High Graphics Cars In Race
This version brings the in-menu vehicle models to 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.

Installing​

Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam + Better Race Graphics

1. take a backup from the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file located in "<Games Directory>\MM_Data\Managed".
2. Download the zip file from here and look inside the "With BetterRaceGraphics" folder. and take the two files named "Assembly-CSharp.dll" and "liveries". if you want PerfectSetup as well go to the "+PerfectSetup" folder and take them from there.
3. put both of these files in "<Games Directory>\MM_Data\Managed". it will ask you if you want to replace the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file, say yes.

Toggleable Autorace + Chase Cam (without Better Race Graphics)
if you only want Toggleable Autorace and Chase Cam:

1. take a backup from the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file located in "<Games Directory>\MM_Data\Managed".
   
2. Download the zip file from here and look inside the "Without BetterRaceGraphics" folder. and take the file named "Assembly-CSharp.dll" either from there or from the "+PerfectSetup" folder depending on if you also want the PerfectSetup mod.
   
3. put the file in "<Games Directory>\MM_Data\Managed". it will ask you if you want to replace the "Assembly-CSharp.dll" file, say yes.

• fixed a bug where using the backup driver or playing in endurance series gave the mod a hard time figuring out which driver should be controlled by which buttons.

• 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 animated 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 animated)

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

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

I completely changed my approach with this mod.

• instead of using the speed buttons, there's now a completely separate button for toggling 'auto drive'.
• added support for toggling 'auto pit' separately. (you can now use auto drive while still having control over pit stops)
