Once I have summed up the forces from each of the wheels I then calculate and subtract the overall drag before calculating the acceleration of the vehicle as a whole. I think I need to calculate a drag value for each of the wheels though. That last line of calculations was supposed to read...

Thanks for your quick reply Gear.0 You're right, I should be using torque instead of force. Now my integration looks like this for each wheel: driveForce = engineTorqueOnWheel / wheelRadius totalForce = driveforce - rollingResistence totalTorque = totalForce * wheelRadius...

Hi I am hoping somebody can help me as I'm going round in circles trying to develop a driving simulator for my games programming dissertation. I am modeling a car which is rear-wheel driven. Each wheel is modeled individually and determines the force it applies to the chassis. I use the...
