nice work on the m4 Xazas!

Thank you!

I think it’s better to animate it using code, physics can be heavy on performance and can glitch out.
Looks like front wheel is bumping into obstacles, have set a custom physics material on it? With a 0 restitution and very small friction it should slide over. Another option is to shape collision a bit, like what T-26 Light Tank is using.
Overall, the “obstacle course” in the level is a bit of on extreme side, so far in games that I’ve seen, people have a bit smoother obstacles and landscape.

Yes the front wheel needs a bit of custom shaped collision like your T-26 then it should work.

I’ve animated the secondary suspension arms with code, however it seems to always lag behid the main arm movement a little, any idea why? I’ve tried to execute it both in the regular tick and the MMT Physics Tick both with the same result.

My next goal is to set up a 4WD wheeled vehicle, the Willys Jeep, and since I’m not entirely familiar with all the components I wonder if my setup is correct. I have 3 differentials, the first one is the central one, connected to the gearbox on the source and to one differential for each axle on the application end. To each axle differential I then connect one of the WheelAxle components. And then I have to use a Friction Component (AnisotropicFriction?) which recieves and delivers forces to the axle component correct?

Great to see your progress on performance improvement. Could updating the plugin break anything in my current project?
