off the top of my head, it sounds like the wheel physics objects don't have any dampening or anything; you could try modifying the base code at initialize so that they get a decent damp value (rotational damping) so then when it's moving through the air, they still would spin, but it wouldn't go nuts.
also there's air friction (i forget what the variable is called) On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 11:14 PM, Skillet <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > As far as I recall each of the buggy's wheels is a separate IPhysicsObject. > You could investigate why the wheel physics objects are getting wonky in > the > first place or just freeze them temporarily. > > On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 4:09 PM, Walter Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I am trying, as a little experiment, to take the original buggy and make > it > > fly, or at least jump.
