Vehicle Springs issue

by Brandon Smith · in Torque Game Engine · 07/05/2007 (9:45 am) · 2 replies

Hello,

I'm working on customizing a vehicle, and am getting the effect that my vehicle keeps jumping into the air due to the spring force. I've tried lowering that, or increasing the vehicle mass, but then the vehicle sinks into the ground.

Is there a way to keep the springs from returning more force than is pushing down on it. Or some other way to get the effect of a car that doesn't sink into the ground, but doesn't have overly bouncy springs as well?

Any recommendations would be great, thank you!

I think you have to increase longitudinalDamping so the spring force does not launch the car into the air.

Great,

I will give that a shot. Isn't that just the force going forwards and backwards though?

This is so confusing, heh.
