FGear Vehicle Physics (v1.4)

thank you, glad you like it.

there is no thought behind it, core components are not designed to be extendable, it requires a lot more effort to make it extendable(i do not count making every function virtual as being extendable).

about your example, you can do it in a couple of ways:

-just modify the c++ source
-calculate inputs yourself and inject to the input module from BP
-make some functions virtual and override them in blueprint. i do not think this is an ideal way to do it because you want to modify the steering but there is no function specific to steering, you may need to do a lot more work here.

it is a debatable topic but since we provide the full source code you can just modify it for your specific needs.

Thanks for your answer, I have chosen the the second option. I really appreciate that the source code is fully visible, but I tend not to modify any plugin code, because if I decide to update the plugin later, then those modifications would be lost.

For anyone else interested, you have to call setReadInputs() of FGearStandardInput with false to disable the automatic updating, then you can call setInputs() with whatever pre-processed values you like.
