    Heya,

    Just bought myself the alpha (keep up the great work guys!) but was wondering something;
    Will there be some sort of settings relating the metal physics? because while i love them, it often looks a bit to springy/'tinfoily' for my taste, obviously im no expert on how bent metal behaves on a moving vehicle but id like to see it look a little more sturdy, hence the question.

    Any replys or discussions appreciated, got anything to say about how the metal physics could be even cooler? heres your chance. :cool:

    Well, there's a limit to how stiff things can be while still simulated in real time. It's to do with processing power. That said, real metal is a lot floppier than you'd think. Watch some real life slow motion crash tests and metal almost looks like jello.

    You actually have a very valid point, i watched some real life slow-mo car-crashes yesterday and it was pretty much the same or more amount of 'floppyness'.
    That said, i would still like such an option somewhere down the road, its understandable/acceptable that it takes extra processing power, so only consider it as an option, if you will at all.

    Thanks for the reply :D
