Dirtbike handling fixed!

[j5mello]

can something be done about how it seems the bike is skating/floating???

cool pimped up motor bike I like the way it randomly bounces near the end.
Good work, keep it up

just added a camera view or two for the benifit of testing.

and yeah the handling still needs some work, part of the problem is the fact that it goes so fast, if i slowed it down a bit then it would be much more stable and i could reduce the wheel strenght so it would have less random bouncing. but the whole point of it is that it should be fast, manovarable and weak. but ill keep working at it.

The problem with it sliding about so much is because it goes so fast,im sure there is a way to increase the friction on the wheels, but i havnt found it yet

Edit: This thing is giving me a headache, anyone know how to turn an existing "bundle" into a "rotationalbundle"? or bundle with rotation? If i can do this i can totally fix all the stability issues with the bike.

Good Job!!!

ok i have finished! dirtbike is pretty much perfect, no more random bouncing , less damage from terrain and now you can actually control it + It now leans like a lean leaning machine.

I have just noticed the community modding section - sry i think this should be in there, my bad. If a moderator could move this post to that section it would be great.

I am in the final process of testing the bike but i need to try out things with the passenger which i cant do on my own. If anyone that has / can create servers and who wants to help it would be much apreciated (and fun for them also ). Add me on xfire: flandan if you want to help.

Ill upload a new video later on.

For the sake of realism i feel i should first ask if any of you have ever ridden a dirt bike then ask what engine it supposedly has, then tell you that a 250 cc dirt bike will be lucky to get up to 50-60 mph at this point that thing is out running normal armored humv's at top speed witch isnt any where near real. the thing goes almost as fast as the little bird does. its insane you need to lower the speed. But other than that your lean system looks 10 times better than whats in the game top notch work man if the community had more people like you this mod would be much better off and a lot more advanced.

Oh yeah and the drifting on a dirt bike. not quite any one whos ridden a bike will tell you that when both wheels loose traction, you meet the ground very very quickly.

Yeah im aware theres still going to be many things wrong with the dirtbike. 1st of all its still a six wheeled vehicle, so things like falling off cant be added and drifting cant be prevented. as for the speed, i know the thing is way too fast atm but i am not convinced that reducing this will go down well as it is one of its only strengths. I think i have made it very nearly as realistic as possible in the bf2 engine but if someone else wants to try a very advanced version that actually has 2 wheels i will help and support them as much as i can.

Edit the actual CON and TWEAK files and its a simple case of changing the word from Bundle to RotationalBundle.
