[Chaos Vehicle] Experiences with the new vehicle implementation [+ SkidMark implementation]

[LeBoozer]

What’s your setup of the vehicle? Do you use the unreal version of the car or do you user your custom sub-classes?

Thanks for posting these observations, very helpful thread (and videos)…

3. Somehow the differential type is inverted in relation to the expected physical result regarding the laterial friction (simplified: drifting). Front wheel drives drift like crazy and rear wheel drives nearly cannot drift at all. …] As you can see, one cannot manage to drift with the real wheel drive, but the front wheel drive ist drifting like a charm (in the video it’s acutally drifting a way too much though…)

I’ve observed the same, hopefully this is something that has been recognized and will be addressed.

Would you consider reporting your findings from this thread in bug reports(s) and/or the Chaos Preview release thread? Hopefully that would increase chances of Epic addressing these issues… the squeaky wheel gets the grease

Today I gave the EA version of UE5 a run. There are a lot of things I have to figure myself out regarding the Chaos vehicle system. Most of the changes are subtle, but nonetheless noticable (with a focus mainly on the c++ implementation). Currently my quite simple skid-mark-system is broken. But changes were expected with a major version change.
The overall performance of the engine itself and the chaos vehicle system is already quite good (still a few crashes during the shader compilation and two bluescreens in my run though…)

Hi, are you per chance able to give out the project file for the UE5 EA one? I want to see if I can add some much needed features (engine sounds, ability to move on moving platforms and turntables properly, etc) and repost them here

Thanks in any case. This is a great job.

When will Shapecast work?
