Yes. I'm almost finished with a fairly big graphics update. Once that's done I'll work on the rider movement.

JLV, when you work on the new leaning will this change the rider at all? I mean he will obviously move forward and back but wouldn't this be a good time to just get the full rider motion done?

Not sure what your plan is but i would say it would be a must to include the rider putting out his leg in the corner i was thinking about how this would work and maybe if your a "dabed" while turning he puts his foot out and the farther you lean over the higher his leg thats basically the only motion besides the forward back that we would need for it to look pretty good. Some more picky motions would be leaning off the bike when you wip and stuff but id be more then happy with forward back and the leg motions.

Agreed?

Right now, the rider is connected to the bike by a slider joint. That lets the rider move in a straight line from sitting forward to standing centered. When I update it, I think I'll get rid of the hard slider joint and instead connect the rider to the bike with a damped spring centered over the global y axis of the bike. That way the rider will let the bike pivot under him more realistically. The rider motion controls will just move the spring center around.

Hmm intresting so you will kinda let the G forces do all the movements?

Partially. The rider will naturally want to stay over the bike that way. The controls will let you force the rider to do something else.
