Hi, We can never get proper ground release settings. In madcar it's easy just set gravity and chassis weight. Here we have a 20 inch car model that flies instead of falling down during a jump. what are the proper settings for a jumping toy car and an average sedan? can you explain what is suspension...

ok it looks like we fixed it. The train terrain mesh was created on an angle because the train is moving downhills. So we had to create a cube alighted to the origin and then attached terrain mesh to the cube in edit poly. I guess craft needs terrain mesh to be perfectly aligned with world space

I will ping one of our developers to have a stab at this question ;) Hi, We animated a moving car on the stationary platform. Linked the platform to a moving dummy. But when we linked craft car to the platform car start flying to the side instead of driving on top of a moving platform. Any solutions?

I have two suggestions: 1. Please improve jump mode. Even tweaking suspension and max wheel ext still doesn't cut it. Car fly forward too much especially small cars. Just add a setting how fast cars fall to the ground once they are airborne (please see madcar 3 and their jump mode). 2. Please create...

Yes, this can cause some issues sometimes. My suggestion is to copy the terrain, delete the areas that are not to be used for the calculation and use this as a ground for the simulation. I think you guys should improve terrain support. We also use madcar 3 and it never has this problem. Also look a...

Hi, We have small rc planes following a target. For some reason instead of just following the target our planes go up and down too much, also they always roll and spin. Anyway to decrease this effect where plane would go in a straight line instead of doing crazy flying tricks while following a targe...

UPDATE: the problem is merging terrain and loop. Even using boolean and xref. It seems that craft hates when two surfaces on top of each other. For example, loop has a surface and also there is ground mesh under the loop. This creates two stacked surfaces and craft starts messing up where car falls ...

UPDATE:
it work with full size car but our car is only 15 cm. Maybe there is glitch because the car is small

Hi,
We need a car to ago around a 360 loop like hot wheels basically upside down. It seems that once car gets closer to 90 degrees it will start flying or going through loop. We tried with and without wheel release. can craft do upside down driving?

Thanks

Hi
Currently to change time and move keys we have to choose each object body, all 4 wheels etc and convert to PRS one at a time and then move keys. Would be nice to change car timing through your program like time offset like phoenix fd has

thanks

Please add an option for trucks with more than 4 wheels to jump. Our back wheels dont jump up

Hi,
i am attaching the scene with the terrain where a car drives through ramp instead of detecting it. It happens only with some mesh. Could you please let us know why some mesh works and some doesnt

it looks like when you choose preset setting for the trailer like truck that's when it happens

Why when we add a trailer and enable suspension it shakes a lot.
here is the link to the video through we transfer https://we.tl/t-dFEn8RRd0y

thanks

or at least combine main car wheels and trailer as one unit so you dont have to check each key to record How do you mean? we have 8 wheeler and making 4 extra wheels requires linking gravity. enabling key per each whe would be nice to jsut shift drag rear wheel from 4 wheel ext and copy as many whe...

You can use the tool Extra Wheel. Check out this tutorial:

thanks!
Would be nice if we could just copy wheels and relocators in the future and they will act as extra wheels. it will be a lot quicker

How do you add more wheels? Copying rear wheels did nothing. We need a truck with 4 wheels on the back Thank you

Thanks. Could you guys look into TYFlow. I think it can help

Hi, The reason why we are having problems with moving grounds is that the tools expect them not to move. Calculating full physics is very hard, and if you have to take in consideration of external forces it gets even harder. In order for our tools to run and simulate in realtime, we take shortcuts....
