New sim code

[MiguelM]

joevenzon,

is the Pacejka Editor still available for download (the win32 dlls and exe)?

There should be an old copy on svn.vdrift.net under /trunk/win32/bin

Hello, Joe.

Thanks for replying.

Problem is, the only thing is access to the repository for full retrieval is possible only through ViewVC. ViewVC is only available through building its source code, which I cannot atm build.

Weird. I've tried something very primitive today. I used car body slip angle to trigger brake release/lock (depending on wheel roll direction, relative position) and it seems to be very effective (tested with F1-02, Z06). I had a really hard time to force oversteer beyond the trigger angle limit. It is somewhat clunky/aggressive, needs an angular velocity factor I think, but it works.

Maybe not weird nor primitive. It looks like a feasible, albeit simple, solution - at least partially.

A while back a friend of mine former alumnus at Stanford pointed me towards a then Stanford thesis and lab research suggesting the use of Pneumatic Trail as a means of achieving an effective traction control system. According to a source, Dave Kaemmer uses this, though not for traction control.

I went through it several times and undoubtedly it is a faultless strategy.

On another matter, I would like to know the opinion of both Joe and you about coupled/decoupled variables and the current method(s) of integration used within vDrift. I hope you don't mind my asking this.

Cheers
