What is RCCP Lite?

Realistic Car Controller Pro Lite (RCCP Lite) is a free evaluation version of Realistic Car Controller Pro for Unity. It provides the complete car physics and control system used in the full RCCP Pro package, allowing you to evaluate all runtime features before purchasing.

RCCP Lite includes everything you need to add realistic vehicle physics to your Unity project: a fully working drivetrain simulation, multiple camera modes, AI driving, vehicle customization, mobile input support, and a complete UI system.

Lite vs Pro

All runtime features work without restriction in RCCP Lite. The only difference is in the Unity Editor inspectors, where advanced tuning parameters are displayed as read-only (grayed out). You can still toggle features on/off and set headline values like top speed and torque, but detailed parameters like torque curves, suspension tuning, and PID controller gains require RCCP Pro.

For a complete comparison, see 14_LiteVsPro.md.

Requirements

Quick Start

  1. Import RCCP Lite from the Unity Asset Store into your project
  2. Open the demo scene at Assets/Realistic Car Controller Pro/Scenes/RCCP_Scene_Blank_Prototype.unity
  3. Press Play to drive the prototype vehicle immediately
  4. Controls: WASD or arrow keys to drive, Space for handbrake, C to change camera

For detailed installation steps, see 02_Installation.md.
