Will cylinder to mesh collisions be added in the next update? I think thats what it is called i read in another post that its missing from the physics engine, and being able to use cylinders for car tires would solve a lot of problems.

ROUND wheels you say? hmmm round ones....NAHHHH it would never work!

@Zero'd in gaming: I've tried using square wheels once.... pretty entertaining actually

@Marco: What sort of problems would cylinder wheels cause?

@Anyone: Are there any ways around some of the weird behaviors shperical wheels cause? I'm thinking mostly of the bad steering caused by the wheels being able to turn too easily... I have an idea that might work, does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Looks like i misunderstood something (nothing new)

I assumed the cylinders would be round cylinders, like a wheel or a barrel. You're saying that they will instead have sides? Darn...

Will there be a way to decide how many sides the cylinder has?

a collision cylinder doesn't have sides! like the collision sphere it's perfectly round.

i guess there are some other problems with cylinders...

@ Ghostdude - Sorry bud, I was askin' - not tellin'. Hope the misunderstanding didn't inconvenience you

Hehehe well this is confusing

So physics cylinders really are round and could be used for wheels? Maybe we can get this figured out once and for all

Either I guessed right, or it's an orientation problem I'll bet....
