Aloha! So I've been playing around a bit more with the D-15, slowly trying to learn how this game handles custom meshes. As a direct result, I made a truggy! It's still massively beta, so drive at your own risk. It flips easy, and handles like a pig which is exactly what I'd expect a hackjob truggy to feel like. All models are stock, except the bed (which looks dumb anyway). I have big plans for this guy, and am going to try to turn it into a fairly worthy trail rig. Until then, enjoy! 7MAR2014: This is what's changed, Front and rear suspension behaviors Front sway bar softened (so you can actually use it if you want) First gear dropped super low (for crawling) Added 2 more gears (for the opposite of crawling) Minor bodywork I still have to figure out why the rear axle wants to go where it feels is the coolest place in town, rather than staying where I want it to.
Re: D-15 Truggy Ment it looks not smooth (shadows etc.) (the parts) For example: Broken Smothinggroups Normal Smoothing groups
Re: D-15 Truggy In first i thought the suspension is complety ruined, then i checked what a truggy is. ^^ Now i understand, but still the suspension is pretty fucked up when i compare it to the truggys i could find in videos... It is enough when i drive a 5° courner on 5 kp/h to make it lean all the way to the side... i could not find a single truggy that does this. When i break or accelerate the suspension will be compressed and stay compressed, when he leans to one side he will stay like this untill i steer in the other direction... undrivable even on 10kp/h over big rocks. Belive me i understood the purpose of the suspension, but i think this is way to much/less, i cant even land from 1 meter height without the chassis hitting the ground because the suspension is that weak.... In case i imagine stuff, explain me why im wrong please, allways glad to learn something new. Edit: seems like something was messed up on the first tests. testing again.
Re: D-15 Truggy Adding the sway bar back in with control-W helps, but makes it too rigid for offroading (at the same time removing the sway bar on the D15 offroad causes a similar effect to what is happening on this vehicle, albeit to a lesser extent). needs a bit of work on that front.
Re: D-15 Truggy Thank you for that tip, it seems like yesterday, when i tested it, something must have been messed up. Today Mr.Truggy levels himself after the steering is centered again, also does he show a minimal effort to decompress the front suspension once its down. Will have to test again and more to rebuild my opinion.
Re: D-15 Truggy I'm thinking a combined assault of slightly stiffened shocks and softened rollbars might tame that front end.
