Tire forces measurment

Hello,
I’m interested in getting a reading of the forces tires are subject to. I have found that I can use wheelRotators[wheelIds['FR']].downForce to get the normal force on each tire, but I’d like to know if it’s possible to also get longitudinal and lateral forces on the tire.
If possible suspension informations would be good too.

Thank you,
Côme

Hi Côme,

You may want to take a look at the file located at \lua\vehicle\extensions\tech\wheelForces.lua. This module provides several configurable options for where to measure wheel torques. please note that the current implementation assumes a flat road surface; results may not be accurate on uneven terrain.

Best regards,
