More Realistic Terrain Deformation

Essentially the same kind of terrain deformation one would find in Motorstorm or Sega Rally Revo. For those who may not know what I mean, this is terrain deformation that actually affects the feeling of the driving surface after it has been driven over once or more times. For instance, driving on wet grass once can expose even more slippery mud on the second drive through. This would primarily be used for free roam, Cross County Circuits, and Scrambles.

Dont know about realistic but id be nice if surfaces like dirt and snow felt a a bit more harsh. Like i remember in horizon 3’s blizzard mountain when you drive through the snow it feels properly like driving through snow. Your car feels like struggling a lot more. The AI would of course cheat and drive through the snow like its not even there but thats another topic for discussion.

In h4 the struggle is still there but it doesnt feel as punishing. In h5’s hot wheels and mountain caldera the snow doesnt feel like snow at all. Its like someone sprinkled some sort of substance that covers the surfaces just for looks.

Would like to see harsher dirt conditions as well. Especially if its wet/mud. Not harsh to the point of being unplayable. But enough to feel the struggle and the car’s loss of traction
