Physics [split from network thread]

After reading the Vamos docs and the stuff that Joe posted above I'm starting to really think a change of suspension model may be in order.

In order to model the "antis" you need a decent side view model that is "decoupled" from the transverse side model. Yes I am aware there is a coupling but a skewed IC model aint going to cut it.

If I am reading the stuff that Joe posted correctly, the instant center model used in Vamos does not vary camber with with suspension movement. This is a shame and is why I suggest it may be time to change the suspension model used.

In an ideal world car suspension would not change camber as the suspension cycled through its travel. But this is very rarely achieved in the real world. It's a shame the Vamos code doesn't do this because for a large number of cars that use solid axles and MacPherson/Chapman struts it would be pretty good.

Can someone post a few links to the other models that are being talked about?
