Speed and tire marks problems

Post by gaetan »

Hi
We have to simulate the behavior of a car with a caravan. But we have two problems:
- The car can not make a lot of speed, only 30-35 km / h (weight 2000kg each), is there a solution to increase the speed? We drive on the keyboard (shift + Accelerate touch) but the throttle bar block in orange.
- We arrive to generate tire tracks for the car but not for the caravan? Even though affecting the madcar2 (caravan) to MadCarTrackTexture.
Otherwise this plugin is great, the vehicles are responding really well. It would be nice to have more example's scenes to complete the Help file (like the scene with the big military truck for example).

Regards.

Have you tried increase Throttle Sens param?
What is Wheels Grip value?
Do you have proper scene scale?

What render do you use?
If you want to combine several track texture, you should use some mix texture.

It seams to be OK for the speed... I don't know how!!! has the caps lock key a function in the drive?
For tire marks, we are using Vray 1.5 as renderer. When i put "madcar 1" (= the car) in the madcar texture there is no problem but if i put "madcar 2" (= the caravan) there is no marks!
I've attached my maxfile, if someone wants to try...

Regards.

After some tests, tire marks seems to be applied only to the madcar used to "drive" an d not the trailer...
We really need this option, is there any solutions?

Thanks.
