Car doing crazy things on certain terrain (Roy Hesketh)

[Paul Minnaar]

Hi chaps. as mentioned in my WIP, I have one or two hassles I need help with.

This is one of them......

When driving onto this grass, no matter how fast or slow, the screen goes blank and the car feels like it does when it goes off map into the sky, but this flips violently.

I was wondering if maybe my terrain is wrong, but I find nothing wrong with it.

Here are two screenies. One showing the shape and the other the material - and they look different, could this be the cause ?

EDIT: Just realised I dont have the screen shots with me - will post tomorrow.

Well done m8, next time use Bridgestone
Just kidding, terrible problem indeed.
Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with raising/lowering terrain? I did noticed some very strange effects in btb.

Good to hear you at least found the bugger that's caused all the grief Paul

I've lost a week of building because this thing took up my time grrrrrrrrrr.

Welcome to the world of game development

But you haven't wasted time. Think of it this way, you were smart enough to figure it out yourself in 1 week. 1 week spent on RnD is small compared to what's ahead.

Glad you got it sorted.

Yeah you chaps are right.

So this particular problem is now a thing of the past. It was the collide in my bridge model. So I removed it and put in a non render, collide wall at the base, works great.

I'd say my track is now 95%, now I need to know how to get shadows to work? Properties are right, but no shadows from my objects.

Try adjusting your display settings in rFactor, or use the Scene Viewer program from this site

I have those mod tools, but where is the scene viewer? I downloaded the right file. Is it a Max plugin?
