Took long enough I remember doing this with my Monster Van, works nicer with two axles and no leaf springs. You should probably scrap those.
No, what makes it go up and down. I did mine with hydros at the shocks. http://www.beamng.com/threads/8174-D-15-Full-size-logging-trailer-5th-wheel/page5 Post #87
There are beams that are called hydros, These beams can expand and retract. I put those beams between the suspension and the frame.
Great, now whenever I want to put on the handbrake and stop the truck from moving, my front will all of a sudden spring up. LOL great job, love it
awesome (and lol, if you sell this at a dealer, and someone asks how the ride comfort is, the answer would be "Ride Comfort? Whats Ride Comfort")
You beat me too it. Im working on the exact same thing but with the moonhawk and with everything modeled like the pumps, batteries and cylinders. I am going to try and make it so detailed that it will include a switchbox and even solenoids. I also am allowing different power/setups where as you can have a single pump or radical double pump so eventually you could even have hop competitions. If you want to know how I know all this it is because i am pretty experienced with lowriders. You can literally google my name "chris jenda" and come up with all kinds of lowriding stuff about me. I was undefeated for 2 years in the most extreme class of the competitions. I really just need to work on my texturing skills and I will be able to release my moonhawk version. I still have not completely figured out how the materials work and how to apply a texture to the mesh in beamng that was exported from blender. Also Great work hacking together a quick release for people to play with, because it really is fun and it is quite realistic. I know how hopping a car actually feels I was able to tune the front to hop almost completely natural so that it feels realistic. I also added a sound when the hydraulics work and when the tire hits the ground so it sounds really realistic and adds a whole new level of immersion when hopping the car. I actually took the sounds from one of my old hop videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSlvOauECWY and cleaned it up so it sounds good "I'm the one talking in the beginning and holding the switch used to hop the truck". Hit me up if you want the sound file or want to know anything about hydraulics in general. my only suggestion is I think you should convert the D15 to a 4-link setup to do away with those leaf springs and make the rear end have a massive lift. I was able to get the rear to lift higher without making the bed deform by adding a support beam between the upper shock/cylinder mounts.
Ill start a thread in the next day or so with an early beta release of my setup unless the OP beats me too it.
