From one car to a fleet: asynchronous physics in UE5 that scales with multithreading

A while back I wrote about getting stable suspension physics in UE5 by running Chaos on the async physics thread. That post focused on one car and the usual "why your spring-damper explodes when the frame rate dips."

But I wanted something I could reuse across projects — a more robust pattern that lets me manage many vehicles per scene efficiently. So I took the prototype further and turned it into a plugin.

The idea is simple: keep the physics step cleanly decoupled from the Game Thread, and make it scale as vehicle count grows using Chaos::PhysicsParallelFor.
