My first impressions/requests

I believe that the issue with the handling dynamics is that a lot (all?) of the models are using the physical hinge points of the suspension versus the instant center. As a result all the cars behave like they have swing axle suspensions at each corner.

I've been trying to tweak the new Impreza model with real numbers. MacPherson strut "sucks" for handling but it is easy to model. The display card in my machine at home is foobar currectly - still waiting on parts. Oh, why didn't I wait a month before ordering my Mac so that I could get a PCI-x display card instead of AGP? Oh well.

Anyway, it is my gut that the dynamic models need reworking and that the system used (VAMOS) is adequate to give pseudo-realistic user feedback through visuals and potentially the force feedback of the steering wheel.
