Currently I am working with a couple of ai cars, my goal of course is to get them to steer to wed path nodes correctly. I have been tweaking the steering parameters alot, and have not found a good solution.

Any suggestions would help, here is how I am trying to achieve smooth turning to nodes:
Code:

//ai helper functions
function TurnToNode() {
  vec_to_angle(my.ang_pan,my.node_targ_x);
  my._ang_dis = ang((my.pan%360) - (my.ang_pan%360));
  if(int(my._ang_dis) > 0) { 
    p1carsteer.x = min(1.0,p1carsteer.x+0.2*time);
    p1carsteer.y = min(1.0,p1carsteer.y+0.2*time);
    p1carsteer.z = 0;
    phcon_setmotor(frw_p1id,p1carsteer,nullvector,nullvector);
    phcon_setmotor(flw_p1id,p1carsteer,nullvector,nullvector);
  }
  if(int(my._ang_dis) < 0) {
    p1carsteer.x = max(-1.0,p1carsteer.x-0.2*time);
    p1carsteer.y = max(-1.0,p1carsteer.y-0.2*time);
    p1carsteer.z = 0;
    phcon_setmotor(frw_p1id,p1carsteer,nullvector,nullvector);
    phcon_setmotor(flw_p1id,p1carsteer,nullvector,nullvector);
  }
}


The front tires steering distances are set as:
Code:

phcon_setparams2(flw_p1id,vector(-30,30,0),nullvector,vector(80000,200,0));

Thanks for your help.
