Practically no modern SUV is likely to experience roll over simple by turning one way then turning the other. Unless it hits something that causes it to rollover. That's because stability control stops that from happening. So unless it has defective stability control system it's not modern suvs don't really just flip over any more. But that being said the physics in Beamng doesn't really allow SUVs without stability control to flip over anyways
It won’t, no. The rear solid axle completely counteracts this and the car has an intentionally lower down centre of gravity. A car that was intentionally rollover prone whilst costing upwards of $120,000 would be a safety hazard at best and a bunch of massive lawsuits at worst lol
I don’t think this is too likely, it’s just not that kind of car. Maybe in an aftermarket engine swap.
Oh, yeah, that's what I meant. An aftermarket supercharger that's something like the one in Land Rover HSVs.
Then why have I constantly been told by idiots all over the internet and real life that taking a corner the wrong way in a typical suv or even a smaller vehicle will cause it to flip over? Tell me one thing and then tell me the next. I always knew that it was bullshit, but have been told many times to the contrary. Now I'm being told the exact opposite thing right now. People need to make up their goddamn minds. There's also another shitty popular video on youtube right now of how modern suvs keep failing the moose test. Damn driving school teacher even made it seem like a small sedan would flip over at the jerk of the wheel. The conflicting and contradicting information all over just keeps getting annoying. --- Post updated --- And this isn't a slight against you and this looks like it's shaping up to be a great mod, just venting due to the amount of opposing "information" I've come across constantly.
You've got to remember - not all SUVs are made the same. Not all vehicles are made the same. I doubt that EVERY modern SUV will fail at the moose test, but that's how you put it. Some are made better than others as how it is with many things. I could be wrong though, and if so, I'd happily like to see proof (This discussion, though it makes sense, is off-topic for this thread, and should be continued in a specifically made off-topic thread).
And this isn't a slight against you and this looks like it's shaping up to be a great mod, just venting due to the amount of opposing "information" I've been Everyone and their mother makes it seem like they are. All of the car related posts on the internet I've seen the majority of people overestimating the likelihood of vehicles in general, not just suvs, rolling over. Since this is a physics based game trying to replicate real life driving mechanics as closely as possible, I want to drive one of those rollover prone cars at the limit, seeing how fast I can take it around a corner or curve before it starts nearly flipping over. Even the gavril roamer and h series only skid or understeer without coming anywhere close to flipping over, which is disappointing because I know in real life there would be a greater chance.
Try using race tires and tuning the suspension. The race tires will give more grip and make it easier to flip. You'll have to figure out the suspension though, as I've never purposely mad a rollover prone car. ou could do the same with the Centauri when it releases.
Something I will certainly try. I just wish there was a modern suv that had a more realistic chance of rolling over so I could test these claims. --- Post updated --- I You mean the "ontopic" with people constantly asking for release dates and otherwise making random posts until it does release? Oh and also asking if it will be paid.
sorry for the add on to this off topic discussion, but if you want to see a SUV that really wants to roll over you should look at the second gen ford explorer (1995-2001). with its design being too narrow and top heavy this SUV is prone to rollover much easier than others in its class. two lawsuits are tied to this SUV for its rollover feature, and I can personally attest to this as I almost rolled over my 98' Eddie Bauer 3 years ago. I was going at a roundabout at the limit (20 mph) and suddenly the damn thing was on its 2 right wheels. I yanked the wheel to the right immediately and was able to cancel the rollover but damn that was terrifying. don't get me started on the firestone lawsuit on this model too lol. --- Post updated --- also, the roof on the 2nd gen was weaker as ford reduced the material of the roof to improve fuel economy
Agreed. (Hopper top-heavy when??) Also, i hope that of course this can rollover easier than other vehicles, but I really don't want it to just flip on every steering command. Traction control will have a lot of work to do. help me i cant structure a sentence
See. Nearly everything else about this game is bordering on realism except for the chance of rolling over. The developers try to offset this by saying that it's about poor engineering, but even the best engineered suvs have the slightest chance of rolling over. I don't know if it's laziness, which I would absolutely hate to call this game's developers because they are likely the least lazy ones in this modern gaming industry. And I don't see how this conversation is off topic since it's directly related to how this thread's vehicle in question will handle, and also one of the few suvs, official or modded, that will be implemented into this game for the time being. Just hate how much this is glossed over when people talk about adding suvs into this game. Like I said, I want to see how it's like driving one of those death traps at the limit, without having to risk life and limb doing it in real life. And what better way to do it than in a game that supposedly has the most realistic vehicle mechanics.
How about moving the clearly active conversation about rolling over to another thread or PMs, getting tired of the notifications for this thread & getting nothing.
