Re: Use animated car in Unreal Engine 4
Hi, I am having similar problems where exporting animated mesh from maya to unreal doesn't work as expected. I have constrained my model to the craft rig, baked the keys and exported both fbx and abc. The body of the car moves correctly, but the wheels act as if their pivot point has been changed. ...

Re: Noob looking for suggestions.
Any suggestions of the amount of auto vs myself controlling or is trying to set up a speed spline tool the best way or what? Any help is appreciated! I would use a combination. Use a spline to make the base guide and then use the controller to deviate from that path. This will also give you better ...

Re: General Propeties vs input propeties
Hi, What's the difference between General Propeties vs input propeties/ While general properties has gravel roughness and input has shake amplitude. It's kind of confusing? A lot of duplicated systems. Same for burn out and skid, etc. Would be nice to have these simplified or not scatter settings i...

Re: Spinning car on icy road
Maybe you could try a combination of skidding and External Force. Position the External Force arrow so that it is pointing towards the rear side of the vehicle and then when driving, hold down the skidding button and press the External force button. I haven't tried this myself, it's just of the top...

Hi dv2000, In order to quickly turn you need to modify the following parameters when configuring the 4-Wheeler Under Input parameters you have: Steering Wheel (Right/Left) Response Factor determines how quickly the 4-wheeler will go to maximum turn (turn acceleration). Steering Wheel (Right/Left) M...

Re: Truck trailer odd behavior (shaking, jumping, etc)
We can confirm that we have found a shaking issue with the Trailer tool. It seems to be worse the more detailed the terrain the trailer is attached to is.
We are looking in to this problem asap and solve.

Re: Thrustmaster Driving wheel - turning is backwards
Hi,
Go to the input settings. Click on the advanced for steering and change the multiplayer to -1 instead of 1.

Re: Truck trailer odd behavior (shaking, jumping, etc)
It looks like I've been able to resolve the shakiness of the trailers when making very sharp turns, by fiddling with the stiffness value. A lower value (e.g 2000) caused it to start shaking a lot. The suspension jumping (where the rear extra-wheel's were jumping half of their height into the air at...

Re: Proper ground release settings
I agree that this is not functioning that well for bigger jumps. We did have a different jump function before the current and might be better suited. We will check to see if we can add this in again as an option.
