Jay,
Are the these constants from VPHYSICS/VEHICLE.H :
#define VEHICLE_MAX_AXLE_COUNT 4
#define VEHICLE_MAX_GEAR_COUNT 6
#define VEHICLE_MAX_WHEEL_COUNT (2*VEHICLE_MAX_AXLE_COUNT)
hardcoded into the Engine DLL ?
The reason I'm asking, is the buggy behaves as if it the 4 wheels
are each on their own axles.
I've been asked about implementing tracked vehicles like tanks, which
normal have multiple independently suspended "bogie wheels". It seems
to me that one would need 8 or even 10 axles, each with a single while,
in order to do a tank properly (forget how the treads would be implemented
just yet ).
Can I we raise the Axle and Wheel counts ?
