This demo represents a realistic real time vehicle physics simulation which I have been programming in Unreal Engine 4 using C++ for couple of month. The car can fully interact with all physically intractable objects represented in the Nvidia PhysX engine. This demo has been performed using Logitech G27 which is a simulation grade racing wheel.
My goal is to achieve a hyper accuracy and realism. Notice that the vehicle does not fake any movement, Every small change is the result of the overall force exerted onto the vehicle. This engine can calculate for both off road and normal vehicles
The following has been implemented:
-Accurate suspension and damping system accounting for suspension length, stiffness, damping force, suspension speed and etc…
-General angular and liner damping applied to vehicle body preventing destabilization.
-Manual transmission, allowing manual gearing, clutch and simulating all the forces exerted onto the vehicle as the result of gearing such as downshifting and etc...
-Engine properties…
