WheelMates Demo Update Improves Car Handling and Adds DualSense Support

The latest WheelMates demo update refines car handling with reduced drifting and linear steering, introduces DualSense button icons, and fixes map collisions and tool bugs.

A new demo update for WheelMates addresses core handling complaints and interface omissions. The patch adjusts vehicle physics, resolves tool and collision bugs, and adds platform-specific button icons.

Car Handling Overhaul

Vehicle controls are retuned to feel more predictable. Sudden acceleration has been reduced, drifting is lessened, and wheel turning is now more linear. Releasing the gas pedal also applies light braking to help drivers manage speed.

Interface and Control Fixes

DualSense button icons are now supported in the interface. The magnet grab tool reverts to a toggle mode, and grappling hooks trigger more reliably. Map collision issues, minor puzzle bugs, and Italian language selection problems are also resolved.

Why this patch matters

This update makes the WheelMates demo far more accessible by smoothing out twitchy vehicle handling and fixing frustrating tool inputs.
