adjustable tire pressure

[pulse]

I think have a adjustable tire pressure in the bike setup would be great. like on some track I feel like its to slippery and I want to lower my pressure more a tad bit more grip.

No. Search it if you want more info.

ok. then hot about where you see you tire bending like in this vid

tire physics

[Phathry25]

They already do, physically speaking. There is no graphical representation of it in MX Sim however.

Me thinks mxsim would still benefit from moving from the infinitely narrow disc tire into a proper tire physics though.

[DJ99X]

Whut. The model used is a torus

Wait, it is? I thought jlv said the tire simulation just uses a thin disk.

MxSimulator still needs a lot of work to do when it comes to tyres. JLV has said he's working on it but there's still lots of work to do. I mean, the tyre has never given me the feel of digging the gravel, it pretty much acts as a kinda low-grip tyre on asphalt. Also, the whole thing around the front end of the bike works really bad since the arms of the rider never look to work much and sometimes the handlebars start turning when they shouldn't.

Just look at when you hit the front brake hard
MxSIMULATOR
· Automatic endo/stoppie/front wheelie
REAL LIFE
· Unless you have all set up and you really want to do an endo, handlebars will make you cross your arms and make you hit the ground in a milisecond

Or when you go through an off-camber turn
MxSIMULATOR
· Handlebars start turning sharply just because and you hit the ground
REAL LIFE
· A little bit of weight distribution, a little bit of care and you go through easily

I seriously love this game, that's why I'm so exigent and I want it to become better. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't give a fuck about its problems

i think tire pressure would be great, get that extra traction in corners, it would be a great addition if done right. As of right now turning is like youre on ice, people just get used to it

[Phathry25]

holy shit, is it really that hard to understand that with the current non-adjustable tire pressures you already have optimal traction on every track?

The only way tire pressure matters is if the ground physics become much more advanced and can simulate the tire digging in, loose dirt, hard dirt, etc...

THAT'S WHAT I WANT!!!

I suspect if it were adjustable with no chance of pinch flats everyone would just run the lowest possible pressure.

DJ is right. It's a torus.

I'd run negative pressure. Think about it...

I can see your tyre being absorbed by the rims, only the knobs out, LoL
