@LiamW well yea it works well. I just made changes that I thought should have been done on the unlisted one I put up.

But does this car work well? I would appreciate feedback on any bugs and issues (such as seemingly random explosions, nosediving on braking, weak suspension parts, etc) @Typhlosion130

That would work, because big hits need to rebound slower to dissipate energy slower, whereas lots of small hits need faster rebound because even though there is less energy stored, you need all your suspension travel for each hit and to do that you need it to rebound faster @Typhlosion130

@LiamW here's how I work my suspension and it works perfectly. when I need to take suspension impacts better I increase dampening. when I need the base vehicle to hold higher (or withstand more down force) I increase spring strength. and it works.

then you need to put Spring strength down a bit more because it is not soaking up enough energy. It could also be because your shocks are not rebounding fast enough and you're hitting bumps while they're still compressed @Typhlosion130

@LiamW every time I put dampening to high settings with out neccecarily needing them (like a slower off roader) it bounces. a lot.

You sure?
Set spring strength to minimum and it will collapse
Set damping to minimum and spring to max and it will bounce
Set spring strength to whatever it needs to be so you have 20% sag and give it high or max damping and I guarantee it will be almost perfect
@Typhlosion130

@LiamW allright but that's not how it works in simple planes as I've found.

Read this @Typhlosion130

@LiamW springs are also what push the vehicle back up after you take in impact on a suspension. which is why you need to balance out the springs so well. (if you can)

Must be different on cars then cos it's different for MTB @Typhlosion130

@LiamW also no I didn't get it the wrong way around. Spring streanth max. keep dampener the same. try it. (or 150% spring)

@LiamW dampening is what takes the impact. springs are what hold the vehicle up ontop of that. springs hold against overall stress on the suspension while dampener does sudden shocks.

I'll just turn off wheel suspension cos it just causes issues with heavy vehicles

Wrong way round, damping slows down the rebound and Spring strength makes the spring stronger @Typhlosion130

@LiamW well what you would want to do then is maximize the SPRING strength but not dampening.

I think what's happening when the wheel suspension is bouncing is that it bottoms out permanently from the weight and then it has a heap of stored energy. Maybe the wheel suspension is not strong enough on this truck? It worked with my lightweight buggy anyway @Typhlosion130

I do think it stops it from bouncing a little but not much @Typhlosion130

Oh, yea the weel oops my bad @Typhlosion130

@LiamW I think you're getting this confused here. I'm talking about the suspension setting on the wheel its self.

it makes it a LOT better actually cos damping is what STOPS it from bouncing. Take off the suspension on this and you'll see what I mean @Typhlosion130

@LiamW it really doesn't help in the end. especially with the settings maxed out. it just causes your suspension to bounce more.

Oh yea, I put that in as well cos from my experimentation it helps it a little but maybe not that much @Typhlosion130

@LiamW No what I"m talking about is the wheels them selves. you enabled suspension on them. you don't ened htat you have a shock system in place.

Downforce and no suspension simply does not work on a SAM truck drone thingy @Typhlosion130
