Has anyone done a good vehicle physics simulation? I am going to start working on this soon. I am looking for steadiness and reliability more than crazy tank-flipping physics. All the demos I have seen using physics DLL's are extremely bouncy and jerky.

I'd be interested in this too. As usual I'd be willing to pay...

have been promising a 'special vehicle container' for ages, but wont say when. Their engine is pretty impressive though, and they've done a couple of 'tank-steering' vehicle demos. There's also a wrapper in the code archives.
