    Love this wee thing.

    One thing I've noticed, none of the cameras actually point straight? They're all looking to the right a bit too much.

    Now that it's working I love it :D It's hilarious seeing the beer bottle and golf bags go flying in a crash :D

    My only suggestions would be to maybe make the tires narrower and see if you can give it a bit more steering lock. Also, if it's supposed to be electric, the torque curve should look something like this:


    (imported from here)

    If I remember correctly electric motors make max torque at 0 rpm and decrease from there.

    Oh, and the suspension is pretty stiff. I've never driven a real golf cart so I can't say with any authority if it's wrong but it might drive better with softer suspension. I think the tire reinforcement pressure and spring might also be too stiff - the tire isn't deflecting/flexing enough in cornering, which is putting lots of stress on the suspension.

    Another thing: the camera(s) aren't centered; they seem to be offset and angled a bit. Check and make sure your ref nodes are making a perfect right triangle. I usually use floor nodes for mine; if you use floor nodes it shouldn't be a problem to move them to form a perfect right triangle so the camera is happy. The driver's seat cam seems slightly mispositioned too related to the steering wheel.

    Oh, and you might want to rename the front wheels ;) "Civetta Bolide Front Wheels" :confused:

    Maybe clean up all your part names, fix up the capitalization and stuff, and also add a name.cs to the vehicle's folder so it has a proper name in the selection menu. We have code in there that removes the name of the vehicle from the part name in the configurator if it's repeated a lot, so if you put a consistent name like "Golf Cart" in the beginning of every part name it won't show up in the configurator, making it much easier to read the part names :)

    Heh, I actually have a lot of time behind the wheel of a golf cart. Long story.

    Their suspension is on the soft side, definitely. Very mushy and comfortable, lots of weight. The tires are also very soft and mushy, even with proper tire pressure.

    This golf cart as it is right now seems very light and jittery, the suspension is stiff, finicky and sensitive. The wheels seem stiff, like hotwheels plastic toy wheels. The steering lock is ok...but could be better.


    Having said that, I've experimented on my own files and accomplished most of these tweaks, except for a little more weight. Currently I have it pretty close to, "I feel like I'm driving a golf cart, awesome".

    Awesome cart! This little wee thing drives great, this is the only time I got this far since I bought the game.

    Only thing I'd change the the front camera, I'm not to much liking that front camera, but everything else I LOVE!

    I said something facepalmingly stupid (or rather replied to something from the previous page) and then couldn't find the delete button. Didn't have the cart downloaded at the time either so I didn't really have anything productive to say.





    ANyway. Now I do have the cart downloaded. Quite a laugh although it seems to me that the gear ratio in the 2nd speed on the 2 speed transmission is identical to the gear ratio of the single speed transmission.

    -there will be a version with 4x4 Off-road model.


    for now I'm concentrating on finishing the basic model for it to be perfect! after then I'll start creating another version

    - - - Updated - - -

    haha okey.

    with the transmission 1 speed you drive at 15 mph

    with the transmission 2 speed you drive at 30 mph

    My mistake, I somehow selected 2 speed in both of my tests, which I can get to 40.
