Very nice job Flan!

I miss the joint ops bikes....ahh the wheelies we used to do.

I don't know exactly how it works so forgive me if my idea wouldn't work but: I think a big improvement would be to add a "dirt trail" to the bikes, like the tanks create when the tracks move, so that the "drifting" will look more like the bike is kind of "digging" against the ground?

Also an idea just for fun: Perhaps there's a way to make the bike kind of like a heli/jet system so you could in essence "wheelie" off of some hills at high speeds when you pull the mouse up or down? Is there a way to leave the left/right look as normal as well to allow for driving and looking around?

I'm rendering my major gripe about dirtbikes... perhaps it's not the bike... it's the terrain.

Shaky Handlebars, unrealistic shock absorption, stability.

tbh i think dirt trails already exist, its just my graphics are set quite low and you will have only seen the bike moving from a 1st person view. not sure though.it could be added if its not already there. As for wheelies im not sure how many PR players would appreciate it as it would become a much more wasted asset, used more for fun than anything usefull.

yeah this is exactly what im trying to fix,i have already taken some of the woble out of the handlebars and increased shock absorbtion. try out my version and let me know what you think.

what i hate about the dirtbike is that when you actually use it for its intended purpose in PR, it blows up, b/c of terrain damage. then you're either dead or stuck out in the middle of nowhere, and have to commit suicide and lose 8 pts.

yeah i do to... thats why ive fixed it, try it out,it still takes a little damage but i think its a huge improvement. but seriously download the 2 meg file and tell me what improvements i should try to make.

Have you tried using the Huge Civilian truck tires... I noticed those have a TON of spring, but they aren't very stable... You could also try and use the HUMVEE drivetrain...
