game needs realistic RC Car antenna

[shomy2k11]

I want to emulate antennas on a radio controlled toy car in bullet. Any ideas ?

Also can anyone provide some settings for springs that give the bouncy effect RC cars have, especially the trucks on high springs.

One way to simulate an antenna is to use rigid bodies and constraints, see attached VehicleDemo.cpp (copy in Demos/VehicleDemo).

Thanks,

I'm liking it. I just need the springs bouncier and some skidding action when brakes are applied suddenly. I dont necessarily want drifting just the ability for the vehicle to do a 360 if executed correctly. I also noticed that if the car goes too fast the antenna appears to be floating apart from each segment. Can you fix this i'd really appreciate it.

Just experiment with the constraint settings and tinker with the demo until you have stuff the way you want it.
