FGear Vehicle Physics (v1.4)

I went ahead and picked this up earlier today and got a vehicle setup. I’m really impressed so far. Once I set a smaller box collision for the inertia collision and a separate mesh for regular collisions, everything works really well. The vehicle out of the box handles great and behaves like a vehicle should.

I’m not seeing any options to set the torque curve in real-time. Not sure if I’m not looking for the right thing or if this isn’t possible? This is something I’m going to need for my game.

I was also wondering how you got the info on the telemetry screen that says ‘108hp@4100rpm’ and max speed in each gear? I’m assuming it was some kind of math, but I thought I’d ask since I’d like to use that info in my game. Thanks!

hi, glad you like it.

you can get the torque curve with “UCurveFloat* UFGearEngine::getTorqueCurve()” method and modify it, there is no method to directly set a new curve, i will check if such method is necessary and include it in the next release. you can also scale the engine torque with the setTorqueScale method.

engine power is calculated with “UFGearEngine::calculateMaxPower” method but it is not currently available in blueprints, i can also make it blueprintcallable if you need.

transmission speed calculation is in “UFGearTransmission::refreshParameters” method but currently there is no way to access those data. just like the others i can add a new function to access these data.
