hi,
I begin with ode.
I use it through nebula2/mangalore game engine but beside entity creation etc
physics is basically all direct ode coding.
I try the classic car test : a shapebox + 4 spheres for wheels + 4 hinge2.
ground (hill) is a meshshape to simulate landscape.
for steering I set velocity on front hinge2/axe1. It's working and when moving
ground react on "wheel" applying natural forces - which is good - . The problem
is how I keep both front wheel parallel ??? i.e. when the left wheel is pushed,
the right too, like on a real (4x4) car !. If I could avoid a costly chain of
joints it would be great !
Thks
