maybe in a future release you can introduce less tilting forward at high speeds and auto stabilization at max speeds similar to your two wheeler where it does not fall when not in motion unlike the madcar. this is a real rc cooper at 173 mph https://youtu.be/N4jeLF2VD04?t=1m48s and it is stable as a...

Yes, at certain limits it will spin out of control so no you are not able to get it to behave as quickly as an RC Helicopter can be. My work around suggestion would be to simply animate in the "slower" speed and then bump up the speed of the frames/compress the keys created to make it look quicker....

HI Patrick I did the same what you did and it is still not working. car just stays and the platform goes up without it. I animated vertices. I am using 2018 plugin version here is my scene https://we.tl/t-70D104jx1l Ok so I know what is different between our scenes. It seems like you had used the "...

By the way I tried with one surface with release version 16 in 3ds max 2017 and animated terrain going up and down, forward and backwards and the car still did not go up or down almost like the terrain was treated as stationary . Also DYNAMIC MESHES always unchecks on its own in any version. You do...

You should only have one surface (one polygon) not two in order for it to work properly.

Hi Patrick,
maybe you know about this bug but after simulating helicopter, then playing back the animation and then closing 3ds max. 3ds max will crash

Hi Currently our heli max speed is set to 20 Setting it to 40 or more make helicopter tilt forward too much and it starts spinning and moving out of control. Anyway to have a quicker helicopter speed without loosing control or maybe tilting down less? We need it for quick flying RC helicopters. Than...

No this is a general issue in 3ds Max 2018. Not any of the other versions. This issue appears after creating animations and then deleting the tool. thanks. But for some reason car falls through. I have two surfaces linked to the gravity node. One is a moving platform but car goes through it I attac...

Also right click and delete 4car ext after it was simulated crashes 3ds max 2018.4 Yes, this is a know issue that we are currently working on getting fixed as soon as we can. Hi Patrick, could you at least tell me if it is a bug with an animated surface so I dont have to continue trying to find the...

Another update:
after I click use dynamic meshes and then hit close and go back to the main preferences the box is unchecked again. For some reason it is not saving this option
maybe thats why I cannot drive on animated surfaces?

i enabled use dynamic meshes and added noise to the ground and it works. The car follows the noise displacement. The problem is what if I want my car to drive up onto the platform that starts moving up or over a bridge that opens up it seems that the car falls through because the platform was animat...

hi i have g27 steering wheel
when choosing Gas pedal forward/ backwards for joysticks there is no second options appears unlike keyboard (keyboard can have both arrow up and down). Only letter C for gas pedal appears . So how do I drive backwards. How do I shift to reverse? Thank you

thanks what about the animated surface, Do you know what should i do for it to work. Car still thinks it is a stationary surface.

Also right click and delete 4car ext after it was simulated crashes 3ds max 2018.4

thanks. But for some reason car falls through. I have two surfaces linked to the gravity node. One is a moving platform but car goes through it I attached the scene through we transfer https://we.tl/0R1i8aMkDv even using one surface and animating it up like a platform car stay and not goes up with t...

Hi I looked everywhere and could not find it. How do I add a custom terrain for a car?
Does this program support animated terrain surfaces? Like car drives on top of a moving train? Thanks

ok it looks like we were able to get it to work including control/ The only problem adding wind turb and adjusting it after that helicopter gets out of control even after deleting wind turb maybe a bug?

it looks like it is working after restarting max but for some reason when moving joystick to the left the helicopter flies to the right Do you have a tutorial to set up joystick the proper way for up and down speed, spinner wind turb, rotor rotation etc What proper buttons to use like a real chopper

Hi We are beta testing Craft Director Studio and want to try to use Logitech extreme 3d pro joystick in 3ds max. Unfortunately when we choose joystick profile and then hit detect button and move joystick forward it is not detecting it even though in the Logitech app joystick is working fine. What sh...
