I am working on a project similar to james116's, a stunt car park. Here it is. It requires Clandestine's beautiful Sky5X skyboxes and CrazyPrint. It implements Rush3Fan's improved rock crawling suspension (improved by mike2212) and lots of jumps made in Sketchup.

I'm looking to get feedback for this project. If anybody has any suggestions, especially as to how I can improve the steering, ad a scoring system and a "turbo" mode, that would be very much appreciated.

This is the prerelease version of the second version of the game. you can download a compiled first version here: http://csharpjsharp.com/FreestyleX2.aspx

Thanks for checking out my project! *Note: it is in .3dr form right now. I did not want to compile it as my computer is really bad with uploading that size files.

thanks in advance for your feedback!

Edit: I REALLY need help with the steering. I want it to steer tightly without flipping. thanks!

" and lots of jumps made in Sketchup"
you need to include every custom item for this to work on anyone else's 3d rad
looks nice though. you may have over exagerated the ram usage. unless you really have 1gb of data in there, i doubt its over 300mb

sorry about the custom content. I'll build it and zip it and upload it as soon as I can.

A nice little steampunk trick is to pu in some rigidbodys that contact the ground+ are connected to the car. (works best on open terrain)
Another way is auto balancing ailerons

could you give me maybe a how-to on how to actually do it?

PsychoWeasel9 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2010, 08:12:16 PM »

okay, then, to enlighten you:
1) select two spherical rudgidbodies, place one on either side of the vehicle, and connect them with fixed (fast) joints. Then link those to the terrain, but no verticle objects. if space in your game is tight, you could do it with buoys as well.
2) put two identical aileron objects on both sides of the car. Set them to the proper auto-balance force

I like the ring of fire! But every time the car lands upside down, 3drad crashes.

you could lower the mass model

http://www.3drad.com/forum/index.php?topic=1336.0

Last post shows the mass as a square down between the vehicle wheels, this is what i do to stop vehicles flipping, also the car object has a setting that stops roll overs / can help prevent them

sorry about the crash problem. I think I might have fixed that, because I took out some jumps that were causing problems and replaced them. thanks for the heads-up though! what OS are you running? I have had numerous problems on XP and none whatsoever (except the buggy jumps) on Vista or 7.

This is actually not a car model, but a rigidbody and wheels linked up with suspension. does that make any real difference?

I tried this and it works well. but not too well... the car still flips and goes crazy if you go off the jump wrong!

I'm running Win7 x64 4cores 4 gigs and 512 dx10 card, so I don't think specs should be a problem

ok fine. do you want me to upload the new build so that you can see if it works?
