I thought it might be because UE was open but I’ve tried it with ue open and closed.
Quick question when I hopefully finish my game, would my gamer’s have to go through this same process?
@lazybitgames is the enhanced input ( new input system) supported? If not can you update the plugin to support it since the old/traditional one is deprecated ? I tried to do it but got stuck, if you are going to do it here is what I have so far ( to help you save time) :
UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class EInputSystemType : uint8
{
Traditional UMETA(DisplayName = “Traditional”),
Enhanced UMETA(DisplayName = “Enhanced Input”)
};

I did that already before that errors. Cannot make to work the example project in any way. Only in 4.27.
Can you confirm that on component hit works in 5.3 or it is bug?
Finally I make it work (the example project in 5.3) with some mystery.
But the “on component hit” on fgear custom collision is not fired even in example project. I checked “generate hit events” and nothing. In 4.27 it is ok.
I will choose first car and crashing to other cars and event will not fire.
did you try rebuilding with visual studio…
make sure both the custom collider component and your physics asset have “generate hit events” setting checked.
thanks for sharing, this is on our todo list.
That is! Thanks! (btw, can’t open example project again 
)
What no, I’m a newbie no idea about visual studio or coding
you don’t need to know coding but at least learn how to build a project.

All due respect I thought I’d try the example project, which had some issues but the solutions you gave, I followed. It still doesn’t open for me.
I have never used visual basic basic and when I bought the plugin I had no idea I have have to use it.
Plus i don’t understand why i can’t open it in 4.7 either
Can you provide any solution for me please?
redownload the example project, it might be an older version, it’s been modified multiple times this month.
extract and try to open with 4.27, if it fails go to Saved/Logs folder and send FGear.log file to lazybitgames@gmail.com

Hello! First of all thanks for this wonderful asset.
I have a simple question : would it be possible to add a physical turbocharger?
forced induction is not a currently planned feature(it is in the list but low priority) but it should be quite simple to implement a simple turbo with blueprints.
So I tried that and got this error. I’ll try again after I dload .net
My question is if my gamers haven’t got .net installed on their computer would they have to go through this process too?
no not like this but it is developers duty to automatically install prerequisites and I believe unreal has an option to add its prerequisite installer to the game package…
After installing .net version 8 I’m getting the same error about .net.
I have visual studio v17.8.3
Is there anything I’m omitting?
I would make a fresh install and follow this guideline : Setting Up Visual Studio 2022 for Unreal Engine 5 | Community tutorial
So to be clear only re-install visual studio?
I did a scripted test, first run is zero ABS and the second run is %100 ABS.
the green line shows where we ended up in the first run.
it looks like an expected behavior to me but that doesn’t mean the behavior is the same as the previous version.
we’ve modified some fundamental parts of the wheel code so some change is expected but if you see any unrealistic response let us know.
note: the red car is tuned a bit differently for this test.
