i kinda like how it handles curbs now that wheels are volumetric rather than single point

holy this is satisfying (except clipping)

its probably getting better

such a sMoOOoOtTth rIiiiIiIIIdEee

btw i kinda managed to make somewhat procedural rally stages in vrc. Thinking about making it a weekly thing on that map if i ever get to actually finishing it

i feel like changes i made will translate fairly well into rally style cars too, its much more responsive to turning now and i feel like its much easier to distinguish understeer from oversteer
and each can be initiated on-demand fairly reliably

every time i do some changes to how car calculates forces/add ground effect/scrub radius/KPI, etc car drives VERY differently, and every time i have to balance it to not be too fast or too slow
fun

night is cool af to drive

Ok, kinda curious

Night Rally Challenge world:
- dark 5km~ gravel/tarmac rally stage
- full damage: mechanical, visual, etc.
- as close to realistic physics as I can get
- hub to watch/chill/play pool/queue
- leaderboard

Catch is:
- only 1 player can drive at a time (with queue)
- its HARD

some experiments with the dashboard rendering. Idk if i will keep it but looks kinda cool for LCD screens

im in there in public instances quite often, feel free to join
(friends+ since its a private world, but same idea, im usually on blue if im there)

Tom & Jerry aah programming of today:
vrcsdk was overriding file i needed so i had to wait for it to be done with the build and silently swap it back to what i need. Gotta love programming for vrchat

weirdly enough, i only now got to making wheel collider actually volumetric
before it was single point raycast style detection, now its a spherecast with limits. Makes curbs a little more friendly
also added brake bias
not i need aero bias bc car is too pointy :>

Ok I'm uberdumb, first option is forever. Now I wish I could ban any videos with trump on preview.

Only for 30 days, and they often don't even have text to mute above the stuff
There should be at least an option to mute words forever/mute topics

Half the stuff in my discover page is just fox news footage with some random comment on top of it, I'm tired of clicking "show less of this" button, why should I even see this and why is there so much of that

Can bsky just stop showing me american political bs, I'm not american nor am I interested in that clusterfuck

ok, hear me out
what if
it was actually drivable outside the track

YouTube video by Flork i lack impulse control (ft. @hitherevox)

Luckily for me it just makes me start overly uberambicious projects and lock into them for days giggling uncontrollably to never complete them anyway
It's how the car physics thing has started :>
And all of my vrc sheineinegans tbh

youtube.com/shorts/LB3a3...

ngl, it might be worth it
but still, stupid ambitios idea, i might end up remastering only parts of it

i remember i said that i hate BPD before.
taking it back, now i fng love it :>

im so cooked tomorrow

i got a major BPD lock-in, holy
been nonstop remodelling nurburgring for well over 9hrs already

Pple who tried to do chill laps complained about throttle being too sensitive all the time, so I added a simple throttle map control

Tbh, I need to redesign entire car setup customization thing into something that can be saved persistently and stuff, too clunky now

its still vrchat btw

i have met the UV demon

I kinda coded LSD diff for the cars
So far what I experienced with it is:
The car WILL punish you if you show any signs of being afraid of it. But it will be fast if you commit harder

Is it how it's supposed to be?

I might actually need some simplified/arcade mode if I publish it now

It's fine by the most part, but some parts feel better in reverse/track width feels weird at times/other signs of me having no experience designing those:D
If I will have kinda drivable version of it might upload a video of a lap here

Here is the current testing idea, not liking it yet, but if anything will be a bit of practice on what not to do

Designing tracks is hard on its own, designing something kinda similar to nurburgeing would be next to impossible:D

Unless I just recreate the entire thing from references myself somehow, doubt ill have enough time for that
