I just noticed that I can't control whether the rider stands up or sits down anymore. He is always sitting when the wheels are on the ground, and he stands automatically when the bike is in the air. When did this change happen? I like to be able to control whether I stand or not....no wonder my seat bouncing wasn't working anymore because my guy was already sitting!

Is this only at slow speeds? The rider should be sitting when stopped and gradually stand up as he reaches 30 feet/second. Sit/dab should always force him to sit.

It's at all speeds. He never stands up if the wheels are touching the ground. He gradually stands up as the wheels leave the ground though. I never noticed it until today for some reason. Perhaps this would explain my poor riding the past few days because I normally have my rider stand up a large majority of the time and now he's sitting the entire time.

Other than the viscous dirt, which may fix that problem, but maybe some time away, there isn't really anything else that will be done with the physics from memory

What do you have "Rider vertical spring" set to?

Improving the traction model is something I plan on doing after 1.2. But don't expect the front not to slip. It will just allow you to make friction definitions that have a more gradual traction falloff.

What is the default number for this? I had it set to 10. I moved it up to 50 assuming that is default. That helped a little bit, his butt atleast comes off the seat now. Still seems like he doesn't stand up as high as he used to but maybe I'm just imagining things

30 ft/sec is really pretty fast on a dirtbike. That's like getting into 3rd gear. I've raced enduro's where I've gone 3 or 4 miles without ever getting above 20 mph. And I spent most of that time standing.
I don't think this idea of forcing the rider to sit based on speed is a good idea at all.

The dab speed will be adjustable in the next snapshot. If you want full control over it, turn off auto dab and the rider will stand even if the bike isn't moving.

Please JLV, make a option button for this new snapshot... like the stop weeling option, or the antilock break... it's would be better i thinks for all in this way
