Vehicles

Center Of Mass Offset

The offset of the centre of mass of the machine relative to its root. You can customize it to change the stability of the machine. The lower is the offset, the more stable is the vehicle, and the higher is the offset, the more unstable is the vehicle.

Max RPM

This is the maximum rotational speed of the engine expressed in revolutions (rotations) per minute.

Max Torque

This is the maximum torque available from the engine. This is expressed in Newton metres. A starting value might be around 600. 

Contact of this shape with water stops the car.

Offset

The offset of the air inlet relative to the root.

Radius

The radius of the air inlet shape.

Amount of points on the curve of the engine. By default, it is 8.

Rise

The speed of following the parameter input to the maximum target.

Time in seconds, for which values will equal the necessary value (Rise) or 0 (Fall).

Fall

Rise

Fall

Rise

Time that the wheel is rotating for a hardcoded 60 degree angle. Steering turns are set separately. We typically tune the wheels and the steering wheel separately.

Differential Type

Differential type.

Type

Surface type of tires, which depend on the adhesion force with the surface type under the wheel. (This is set at the end of g_materials.lua). By default, it is slicks. 

Damp

Tire Attenuation Parameter. This simulates wheel resistance. The closer this number approaches to 500, the sharper the acceleration will be reset when you release inputs.

The simulation of backlight. Counted toward the surface normal.

Spring Compression, m

Maximum amount of compression (lengthening) of the suspension spring, vertically.

Spring Elongation, m

Maximum amount of lengthening of the suspension spring vertically.

Spring Strength, kgs

Spring Strength

Shock Absorber Strength, kgs

Shock absorber strength

Max Steering Wheel Turn, degrees

Maximum steering angle.

Velocity vs Steer Size

The size of the table for Velocity vs Steer.

Velocity vs Steer

Velocity - Steer

Dependence of the maximum steering angle on the speed of the car.

Steer

Steering object (which transmits to veh_steer & veh_steer_deg).

Speedometer

Speedometer object (which transmits to veh_speed).

Velocity forward max

The maximum speed achieved by the boat when moving forward.

Time acceleration forward

Time during which the boat reaches maximum speed when moving forward.

Velocity backward max

The maximum speed achieved by the boat when moving back.

Time acceleration backward

Time during which the boat reaches maximum speed when moving back.

Time stop neutral

The time for stopping (neutral).

Time stop brake

The time for braking from maximum speed.

Forsage max velocity

The speed during forsage.

Max Speed (Degrees)

Angular velocity of rotation.

Power

Moment applied to the boat for turning. The maximum possible speed for turning.

Time To Max Speed (ms)

Time to maximum angular velocity. Time during which the maximum turning force (acceleration) will be achieved.

Model

Bone with bottom

The bone that contains the shape in charge of the interaction with water (the contact with shape includes a floatage).

Guide axis

The axis along which the boat will move.

Stabilization

Power

The moment of force that aligns the boat.

Tilt threshold (Degrees)

Threshold at which the stabilization moment will be applied in full. Up to the threshold, it is only partially applied.
