Hello, I'm playng with the vehicle physx command and demos.
What I notice is the car always try to come back on the 4 wheels, doesn't matter how much you try to turn it, or how high you jump..
The car automatically return on the 4 wheels..

How can I disable it?
If I wanna simply land after a jump with the car down and the wheels up?
Thanx in advance.

same result with both..

In the demo Vehicle arena, for example, you can't put your car "wheels up", when the angle become too much "out of normal" the physics response start to be strange.. and the car always land on the four wheels..

does anybody else notice it?

hmm that stinks and i thought that was coded into the demo...did not reallize it was an automized "feature". That totaly defeats my concept i was building lol back to the tutorials to research this hopefully not back to the drawing board.

You can make it tip over quite easily by changing some of the parameters and also create effects such as sliding around. Try experimenting with some of the values and you will soon see different results.

@Mike,

yer its easy to make it tip over as you say and I havent noticed any problems with getting it to stay on its roof and not land on its wheels.

As for making the car slide around I cant say I have seen this, maybe you could tell us which values will make the car do this?

Yep, sorry for the delay, but I was playing with different settings and value.

I'd like to clarify some points:

1) What I suppose is the demo have no "special coded" features, is exactly what we get in a standard code (can't see any feature that calculate how put the car always on the 4 wheels)

2) With a totally new program, I can put the car on the roof, it's simply too difficult, I still think that the engine always try to leave the car on the wheels, just in case of a total disaster you can spin it off.

3) I bought an Asus card with Physx acceleration, I love it! So, people, help Ageia supporting the hardware! (it's only my opinion, off course, but I trust in it!
