With the newest update uploaded, I figured I'd get together a changelog. This post will be updated as each change is made unless it gets buried.
Old Parts:
- Frames
- Added mesh helper nodes to prevent the front of the center frame from distorting after a crash
- Exhaust
- Added more nodes to all exhausts to aid in proper deformation
- Adjusted node weight to maintain previous weight
- Aero
- Redid break groups and strengths of front and rear wings.
- The front wing should no longer spread into infinity
- Rear Suspension
- Independent Rear
- Changed mesh grouping for rear upper arms
- Added detachment to the rear subframe.
- One Wheel
- Redid torque coupling
- Added lateral limiters to prevent the arm from twisting
- Added suspension arm support to keep the arm in place if the coilovers break
- Doesn't quite work 100% yet
- Redid rear arm geometry
- Adjusted rear hub geometry
- Added vertical limiters to simulate the articulation limit of the drivetrain with the engine and is in addition to the coilover limiters, so removing coilovers will no longer break the articulation
- Adjusted suspension travel to match reality
- It is roughly 3 inches
- Front Suspension
- Adjusted standard coilovers to match newly found travel value
- Adjusted front limiters to match the new value
- This results in a lot more arm movement than the rear gets due to the geometry difference
- Engines
- Adjusted 150cc engine mounts
- Removed leaked breakgroups from all engines.
- Added roundness to the fins of the non-cvt engine mesh
- Dummy
- Tweaked conditions that cause the dummy to lean
- It now decides whether to lean based on whether one of the following is met:
- Steering input is greater than 0 and the lateral Gs are greater than 0.1
- The kart is sliding sideways
- Changed head support beams to prevent it from getting stuck under normal rollovers
- Powertrain
- The front diff will no longer be powered if the rear breaks off.
New Parts:
- Seats
- Seats no longer clip through the floor
- Brakes
- Added animation to the brake lever
- Frames:
- Added experimental long frames
- They have an adjustable seat position, but this interferes with the dummy's lean
- They significantly improve high-speed handling.
- Front Suspension
- Added a new set of handlebars. Accessed under "steering" in the parts menu
- Rear Suspension
- Added longer travel coilovers to the one wheel rear suspension
- Tires
- Front
- 18x8 Sand Runner Tires (modification of Meo's sand tires)
- 16x4 Street Scooter Tires
- 18x4 Street Scooter Tires
- 23x4 Street Motorcycle Tires
- Rear
- 22x11 Sand Paddle Tires (modification of Meo's sand tires)
- 16x4 Street Scooter Tires
- 18x4 Street Scooter Tires
- 23x4 Street Motorcycle Tires
Textures:
- Body kits
- Added a new pigeon body kit for the one-wheel rear config
- Updated exhaust texture
- Updated floor texture
- Added skins for the rusty metal and exhaust textures to make them look new for the New Paint skin
- Added engine textures for the New Paint skin
- Changed reflectiveness of weathered paint
