Hi, I am currently in the process of making a wisefab style jbeam for most of the cars to increase the steering lock. I have been trying it out on the Grand Marshall (fullsize) and the SBR4 (sbr) but when I increase the factor of the hydros the tie rods break very quickly. Is there a way to make almost indestructible tie rods or a way to make them less likely to break? Attached is my jbeam for the Grand Marshall, it is setup for a mod rather than an edited version of the full suspension file from the stock "content" folder.
Code: "hydros": [ ["id1:","id2:"], {"beamPrecompression":1.0, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1, "beamShortBound":1}, {"beamSpring":6001000,"beamDamp":100,"beamDeform":106200,"beamStrength":999999}, ["fh6r","fx5l",{"factor":0.32,"steeringWheelLock":430}], ["fh6l","fx5r",{"factor":-0.32,"steeringWheelLock":430}], {"beamPrecompression":1.0, "beamType":"|NORMAL", "beamLongBound":1, "beamShortBound":1}, ], I tried doubling the beamStrength value and the tie-rod seemed solid enough to me. EDIT - Well, no, it did break after a while, but that's the parameter you need to tune in order for it to work. Also, stiffer beams (beamSpring) might help. EDIT #2 - Well, after a little bit of testing, I believe factor 32 is just way too much for the steering to work without extensive modifications to the front axle geometry. The tierod kept snapping whatever I did.
Yeah I will probably have to go further into the suspension setup to make it work. Hopefully I can find where to start. Thanks for the help.
