I've searched around and found the demo that was wrote for skidding. after d/ling the demo. I ran the Exe before trying to compile the actual source code and the program worked fine. the car handled much nicer than the physx demos.
After trying the exe, I've decided to look at the code and when I tried to compile it from there it came up with an error could not understand comand at line 131
phy set vehicle lateral tire force function 2, 0, 0.5, 2.0, 4.0, 1.0, 300.0 / ((vel * .1) + .01)
Is this an old function that is longer supported
