Tracked Amphibious Vehicles PHYSX?

[Coldwarchris 10]

 

i all,

 

Long time ofp vet here.

 

After a long break With the resurgence of cold war mods I've decided to go back to modding.(the last thing i done was donate a bunch of assets to the CWR2 mod which formed  the USMC expansion.

 

That said I've been trying to get my LVTP7's working in game, I've followed all the steps on the BIS wiki , but my vehicle floats but does not steer or accelerate in the water after adding in the required steps.

 

The addon is nowhere near ready however To test the LVTPs they inherit from the CUP AAV-7 class (I was thinking of making CUP a requirement but i will check with them first to see if this is okay) 

 

I've also removed the autocenter property from geometry & geometry Physx as well as scouring the forums here for a solution

 

Can anyone give me some advice on where I've gone wrong? 

 

Cheers
