Vehicle and weight transfer

Post by toby »

Hi all,

I have played around with the vehicle demo and integrated parts of the code needed for a simple car from there into my own game environment. I may be getting something wrong, but for me weight transfer works in the opposite direction of what it should do.

When accelerating by applying a positive engine force (it obviously doesn't matter whether applying it to the front or rear wheels), the care will nosedive. When breaking hard the car will lean back.

Am I doing or getting something wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Tobias

Never mind. I have obviously screwed the parameters. With suspension rest length = 0.6 everything is as expected. Funny.
