Visual Suspension not Aligned with Physical

scotg · February 10, 2015

I'm having trouble with the visual suspension animations matching the actual suspension of a vehicle I created.

To elaborate, it's a four-wheeled buggy with fairly big wheels for its body. When driving, the body overall reacts to the terrain as expected within the parameters of the wheel settings in the config. Also, the wheels turn properly in all ways they should (i.e.: steering, driving, and braking). The suspension, on the other hand, moves only very minimally, but it is indeed moving. I have set the maxDroop/maxCompression and offsets to a high value, but this only puts the wheels into the ground. I tried a low value, but then they are only hovering. With an offset value where the wheels actually touch the ground without sinking, it is only good while the vehicle is not in motion. When taking a corner, for example, the outer wheels sink into the ground and the inner wheels come up. There is a slight visual effect, but it is not enough to keep up with the physical effect.

MODEL (p3d): I checked the named selections of all LODs in the model, comparing them to the vanilla BIS Offroad truck (listed via eliteness) as well as my own LM002 model, and everything in the new model looks in place. There are some minor discrepancies, though: In the buggy, the rear wheels are positioned a little lower than the front wheels. The body and all components are aligned to the horizon, with the intention of everything leaning forward once the wheels touch the ground. Another small detail is that the front two damper_land_axis are angled up and slightly rearward, while the rear two damper_land_axis are angled up and slightly forward. The front and rear wheels converge as they compress. I don't see how these minor differences would affect the visual suspension, but I mention them in case somehow they do. Also, when I tried the suspension paths strictly vertical, the problem remained.

Leaning turn in the problem vehicle

The script was borrowed and modified from another vehicle I made in which it was working:

Leaning turn in the working vehicle

The two vehicles together

I'm including the scripts in the likely event that I overlooked something.
Here's the config for the buggy:

Notes: Changing values of the wheel settings and damper settings in the scripts has an impact on the handling and stability of the vehicle (as expected), but very little impact on the visual performance (as not expected). The most noticeable change is from increasing/decreasing the range of the offsets and maxDroop/maxCompression. It will visibly raise/lower the wheels and steering parts initially, but when moving it's very hard to notice any animation.
