PhysX 3 is a complete rewrite and therefore it is not straight forward to update from 2.8.4
One of the main differences is the vehicles, PhysX 3 vehicles are now completely different. Some people have complained as the SDK now provides a comprehensive set of commands to set up a 4 wheeled vehicle but not much else. They say they will be addressing this in a later release.
I have attached a demo from PhysX 2.8.4 via my Dark DynamiX plugin, it shows what you can do with vehicles. I must add that I since made this demo a lot better but can't find it
, I had the vehicle so it does not flip and bounce around as much.

On another note, I am changing Dark DynamiX so it provides all features but with a 5 minute time limit. I think that will help people evaluate it better to see if it suits their needs.
Update should be tonight or tomorrow.
One final thing, you can get good vehicles with PhysX and bad vehicles with bullet/havok etc or the other way around, it is mostly down to the knowledge and experience of the user. Getting the handling you need is always a huge challenge whatever SDK you use.
