suspension understanding problems

[reece146]

Yeah, that's the most info I know about how suspension works. These guys make good points though, our suspension code needs work, but it won't be easy to fix it. The existing setup approximates an accurate suspension path, but isn't really very accurate in the end. It would be better if we could fully simulate a MacPherson strut or a double-wishbone setup, or both, but the fact remains that will take a lot of work to do...and probably be a lot less efficient than what we have now.

Well, I wouldn't say it is inaccurate, it is only as good as the data put into it.

I'll try to scan and upload some stuff later that shows how to develop the instant center model so we can get closer to reality.
