Shifter Kart physics Ultra Slow Motion ( By Niels Heusinkveld )

Niels Heusinkveld is working on the physics of a Kart Racing Game using rFactor.

Shifter kart with "2G" tires, 4 or 5 times slowed down (which is a lot!)

To show physics in TV cam, you have to drive and record at the same time because replays don’t contain all the physics elements. That means driving in 1/10 slow motion (control+g in rFactor) with a gamepad. 

The bouncing seems over the top because of the gamepad and slomo, making me apply incredibly fast steering inputs if it was real time. This causes more sudden kart jacking, weight transfer and the effect of the tires (weight) being moved in relation to the kart chassis causing all sorts of forces on the body.

Still, it shows some cool shots, if only replays had the full physics fidelity I would do a super slomo replay of an actual lap rather than this 1st gear mucking about with a gamepad! 🙂
