Hi,
I'm trying to write a simulation of a tank on a trimesh terrain.
I tried to simulate it using one box with four spheres-wheels in corners.
Then I applied torque or amotor to the wheels. For turning I applied to left wheels
more torque and to the left wheels less, or negative torque. This didn't worked well.
So I tried to let the wheeels only for acceleration and braking and to turn I used torque
for the chasis-box in desired direction. When I reduced the mu value this worked quite well
for big wheels and boxes, but for smaller ones it's really bad.
Could anyone give me advice, how should I simulate the tank?
Thanks a lot,
Peter
