I wanted to look at porting the 3-link + panhard bar suspension from the current pickup.zip over to krod1988's monster thing, which appears to be based on an older version of pickup.zip. The suspension in question is located in pickup_suspension_DS_R.jbeam, so I started taking a look inside... ... and I guess I just don't understand jbeam at all! Unless I miss my mark, this type of suspension should have around 4 beams representing links & bars: trailing link right trailing link left center link panhard bar ...yet it has beams going every which way! In real life I think all of those links have ball-joints on the end, my understanding was that this was similar to your typical beam in game. Ignoring other stuff like driveshafts, shock mounts, etc... each link seems to have several beams associated with it. In particular I note some cross-ways beams going from left to right between the trailing link mounts for the axle and chassis. The coilovers seem to be as I would expect, one beam each. Cross-ways beams: ["fr10l","axshr"], ["fr10r","axshl"], I really just can't tell why we need so many beams for this. Will someone walk me through what's going on a bit?
