| Simple tank moving over a hilly landscape using Bullet physics raycast vehicle. Better than my previous tanks in that this one exhibits proper ridge cresting behaviour and the like. Requires Bmax + rev 716 of Xors3d. http://area.xors3d.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=5155#p5155 |

| Is there an exe available? |
| ||
| That would be sensible wouldn't it - I'll see if I can generate a link later today. |
| ||
| lol. Get more response, certainly. |
| ||
| Squid kindly compiled an exe and link for me http://area.xors3d.com/forums/download/file.php?id=412 |

| Works well, apart from the green posts - tank goes through them a little. I get 33FPS here. |
| ||
| I think the Green posts are just waypoint markers. Works fine here too, the tank does get stuck at the bottom of a steep incline but resets itself a few seconds later. |

| josk Yeah - there's a bit of code to check if the tank gets stuck in a deep crevice or wherever and it then attempts to reset the tank's position. I think we've all seen this sort of thing in games where the physics fails. Steve Green/red posts are just waypoint markers - not meant to be collidable. However I'm surprised you only get 30+fps - it's set for 60fps, but then your spec's aren't that high? Xors needs better shadows. |

| Yeah my specs aren't that high. It struggles at 1680 X 1050, and your demo wasn't even a full size window either. My game manages 73 FPS fullscreen 1680 X 1050. But is a simpler game, doesn't use physics and uses a different engine. Be interesting to see your demo ported ;) Last edited 2011 |

| My specs aren't too high, get a good 60 fps and it pops up to 61 fps now and then. Love the way the tanks crests the hilss, fantastic attention to detail. |

| fantastic attention to detail. It wasn't really - just a few simple rules - if stalled on a slope increase force till moving again, if not heading in right direction, adjust L/R wheel rot to slew tank about - if stuck do some basic things to become unstuck - and the physics takes care of the rest |
