How to reduce WheeledVehicle skidding

by Miguel · in Torque Game Engine · 07/17/2007 (7:49 am) · 3 replies

Which properties of the WheeledVehicleData datablock would allow me to reduce the skidding of the vehicles?

And finally, another question: the faster the vehicle is running, the most reduced is the steering, at a point the vehicle is unable to change its direction while it's running at full speed. how should I fix this?

Thanks in advance.,..

Have a look at the vehicles tire datablock. Currently I am using these values, but they are not tweaked.

staticFriction = 1.35;
kineticFriction = 1.35;

Also remember that the tires will not make the vehicle turn if they are not in contact with the ground, so if you find yourself airborne after a jump, turning won't help. So you might want to tweak the massCenter, mass and other values in the datablock to make sure you have more contact with the ground.

Couple more tips: also found the antiswayforce for the springs can impact the inertia a bit, as well as
