i love it! the tires are a lot more squishy and animated on landing. its not too over the top as if they were filled with jelly. it seems very realistic. having seen the big bkts squish and warp on landings in real life from a front row seat, i can say that this was a remarkable change. the tires still don't like corners too much, but i think thats more of a game engine thing not liking big tires. testing video coming out soon.
they also seem to get back to their original shape much more naturally and with less random jitter. --- Post updated --- i replaced the file to remove any chance of there being any issues. it comes up as its own truck at the cars menu. --- Post updated --- --testing video
they actually seem to be able to absorb impacts better as well in taking the brunt force of it. i can sense a lot less random broken wheels on landings thanks to this. the only real downside i noticed is that they may have fractionally less grip than before. but its barely noticeable, and i'm sure that the grip can be easily adjusted for it.
This BETA was designed to work alongside the standard mod. No need to uninstall anything. Among the downsides, might I add the vague collision detection and overall higher propensity to stick into things.
I did notice the tires were a tad more bouncy in the beta than the repository version. And I also think the shocks may be a little bit more forgiving on the jumps than the repo. I hit one of the jumps in ATE Stadium, and the right rear hiked up, throwing off the balance of the truck a little bit.
I get really unrealistic bounces with my tune I have on the repo version, if I get big air I'll get a 15ft bounce, there's a ramp on Mega FS of Doom that I can use to test this, this jumps also tends to break shocks so I'll hit it a few times, hit other jumps, and see what this does, I'll copy my exact tune afterward and see if I still get a 15ft bounce because it may be the way I set up the tires on my tune --- Post updated --- yep it's my tire setup, if you're going to run 20PSI be prepared for 15ft bounces (may have to mess with the dampening) --- Post updated --- but yes the tires are a lot better
So, sounds like you guys like the new tires. I'll see if I can tweak them to improve collisions and reduce bounciness. I know exactly what to do.
