Vehicle Quadrasteer and independent control of VehicleWheel power

PTrottier

To whom it may concern,

I am working on a simulation of a vehicle that can quadrasteer (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrasteer) but it seems the VehicleBody can only support crab steering (where all wheels turn together in the same direction). Do you know of any way this can be achieved?

Also, it would be great to control the power to each individual VehicleWheel. Is this something that is currently implemented?

Best regards,

Patrick

There is physic vehicle, but it's unstable and hard to setup. I think you'll have to wait until there is some work put on 3D vehicle physics.

You can always try to put your own together using different objects and joints (make sure you're using Bullet Physics and not the outdated native physics).

With some c++ magic one can easily integrate btRaycastVehicle and modify on top of it. That is the best you can do so far. Using constraint-based physical vehicle is possible, but consumes a lot of CPU.
