    I watched a video by Car Pal where he made some faster versions of the rollover sled and decided to take it a step further. I present to you the adjustable rollover sled.


    Features:
    • Edited Jbeam from the vanilla sled to withstand higher forces
    • Return speed reduced towards the end to prevent instabilities and self-breaking most of the time
    • Separated into individual parts in the part selector, so you can see how it's built, it's pretty cool
    • License plate slot for mods that use it
    • 2 types of wheels, standard animated and static for high speed (default)
    • Adjustable parameters in Tuning tab:
      • Launch speed multipier (0.01x - 100x) - increases speed (not fully linear)
      • Rails length (15m - 3000m) - also affects the speed it will reach because travel time is constant
      • Shock damping (10k N/m/s - 100k N/m/s) - higher will be more stable but slower near the end
      • Time from launch until return (1 second - 100 seconds) - just adjust this until it works like you want
    Some people asked what is this useful for? Well nothing, just destroying cars and having fun lol. It can reach extreme G forces and launch cars at 4000+ km/h, it's no longer a rollover sled really but more of a catapult. Or tilt it in World Editor and use it to launch cars to space.

    Have fun!

    Thanks for deciding to make this, I saw your post asking if you should or not. While I can see both sides of the paid vs free argument, It seems more and more people are just trying to use their mods to make money for the sake of making money and not making mods for the love of this game. Keep up the good work.

    I managed to download that mod for free, and not surprisingly, it's a scam. Check out it's file structure
