Hi,
my name is Cristian Bianchi, I'm trying to implement a fork-lift driving
simulator, for a traning application.
To improve the driving realism it's important to accurately control the
wheels speed during curves... (notice that the physical model of the fork
lift will be included in a complete virtual reality system... a motion based
simulator...It's not only a computer graphics application!!!)
Have you an idea on how to implement a mechanical differential for the
steering system?
Thank you in advance and sorry for my poor english ;)
Bye,
Cristian Bianchi
