RE: Tire force combining review
I've made some interesting observations while messing around with 360.
Replacing the powertrain (engine, transmission, clutch, diff) with the one from LE makes it much easier to handle, which is to be expected I guess. The car still has the tendency to oversteer, but gives you some control up to a certain maximum drift angle. This is something I need to look into more closely.
One general issue is that one is often using too much steering (especially without a steering wheel). I've been thinking about adding a steering assist option, as used by the AI currently, which would limit the steering angle to the ideal range.
It would also help to implement the effect of tire side forces on the steering due to caster angle (force feedback). Currently we are only using tire aligning torque, which is too weak and doesn't provide direct feedback about side grip maximum imho.
