suspension understanding problems

[cologne]

The difference between suspension-types are the position of the Instant centers. Some types have chassis-fixed centers, others move the center. This is the difference between vamos and real world, because vamos always uses fixed Instant center. I think, this simple model should be good enough, for playing a game and give the cars a nice behaviour.

To do the things better, we need a better instant center model and not special geometries, simulating real suspensions.

Basically, suspension position doesn't mean anything and isn't used for anything.

This is not true! If suspension-position is before the front-axle, the car goes ... bumping and flying away.
