SibVRV Physics - Car Simulation

[chronozphere]

I'm really interested in the source-code, since i want to make a race game (if i have enough time).

DLL binaries dont teach me anything about car-physics. There are allready some physics libs out there which implement this (i guess). HOW they implement it. that's my big question.

If you don't want to release the source, it's okay But i think many can learn from it

have you seen any physics libs (without hardware physics) where you can create above 100 Cars and it work normaly?

Then it's probably not very accurate. Newton seems to have the most accurate physics model, but it's also one of the slowest (if not THE slowest) library out there and in it you definitely can't spawn 100 vehicle joints and expect it to run with any decent fps.

The thing is that you can't fake the physics if you want results comparable to the real world behaviour of rigid bodies, sure you can take shortcuts to make it faster but it comes with the cost of inaccuracies.

And yes I prefer Newton over Ageia, Havok & co.

vgo, the next version of newton is a lot faster.

Well, you can learn from this, just make it work properly:

No, i haven't looked into physics libs that much.

Ah thanx... will take a look at that
