This is looking good, but a few suggestions. The camera in 3rd person mode slips too much - the lag should be tighter. I think it's this...
cameraLag = 0.0;

There is an error when tryng to load the city..."you do not have the correct version of the fps starter kit or related art..."

here's the console...

Looks like the mission file should have set the skybox path to the "Game" folder instead of the "creator" folder.

shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/tire2.dts";
staticFriction = 5;
kineticFriction = 1.25;
friction = 3.0;

ah ha! add the friction line and BAM! you have some serious gravity!

Okay I just played this latest version. I picked a red car and some tires and moved some sliders around and then did the Robot Example track and I could not steer my car. In fact I could barely see my tires since the red car was so huge but the tires were small.

The steering seemed just fine until I went around the corner and was heading to the jump and then I turned too far and started going up a hill. Then I tried to turn back but it didn't seem to go right, so I backed up, tried to turn left and it wouldn't. I'm not sure what was going on and I never figured it out but I did manage to almost jump the little canyon.

Then time ran out or the AI won the race or something. So I tried again on the Big Jump level. The texture for the first part of the jump was like a rainbow of colors and seemed very out of place. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not but since you mentioned texture fixes I figured I'd tell you about that.

My car never got going fast enough up the jump to make it even half way across the gap. I turned around and tried again but the steering was so loose I couldn't ever line up the jump again. I don't think it would have mattered anyway since the fastest my car seems to go is 40. I never get the feeling that I'm going fast in this game. It's not really very fun and the sloppy/slippery controls don't help.

I'm sorry to sound so negative about it, please don't take it personally. I'm sharing my feedback as a player to try to help you find the parts that need work.

He needs to implement auto-centering for the steering, pretty easy to do.

friction = 3.0;
just add that line on your tire springs trust me

Wade, what file do I edit to add that line of code?

Wade Lawrence   (Sep 10, 2007 at 00:28 GMT)

In your car.cs file on the tire like this,





datablock WheeledVehicleTire(defaultCarTire)
{
// Tires act as springs and generate lateral and longitudinal
// forces to move the vehicle. These distortion/spring forces
// are what convert wheel angular velocity into forces that
// act on the rigid body.
shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/vehicles/tire2.dts";
staticFriction = 5;
kineticFriction = 1.25;
friction = 3.0;
// Spring that generates lateral tire forces
lateralForce = 16000;
lateralDamping = 4000;
lateralRelaxation = 1;

// Spring that generates longitudinal tire forces
longitudinalForce = 16000;
longitudinalDamping = 4000;
longitudinalRelaxation = 1;
};

datablock WheeledVehicleSpring(defaultCarSpring)
{
// Wheel suspension properties
length = 0.85; // Suspension travel
force = 800; // Spring force
damping = 100; // Spring damping
antiSwayForce = 1; // Lateral anti-sway force
};

Looks like interesting.
