• Fixed WheelController “ApplyForceToOthers” option applying excessive lateral force to the target object.
• Fixed NRigidbody substeps get initialized to 1 in all cases. This affects only standalone WheelController setups since substeps in NVP2 are set through the VehicleController which overwrites the initial value.
• Fixed WheelController Visual transform scale affecting the Rim Collider scale.
• Upshift RPM of the TransmissionComponent is now limited to a value lower than the engine rev limiter RPM. This prevents issues with vehicle not upshifting when target upshift RPM is too high.
