[1x2] Ackermann Steering

What have you determined to be the maximum steering angle of wheels?

You're welcome.
If these things somehow help to increase the average quality of workshop creations, then I'm more than happy with that.

A long time ago Tajin helped me out on some pid stuff. he pointed me to some of his work. now i use his work in almost everything. To Tajin thank you for helping the stormworks community!

Why does it limit steering to 0.4605 when steering left, but 0.9173 when steering right?

I have configured it for two front wheels with the same X and Y (with a minus sign for the X of the left wheel). Input is coming directly from the seat and it's not trimmed.

Not sure if there is any really good term for it. It isnt really the center of turning as that depends on the amount of steering but it is the center of what the equation uses to determine the steering angle of the wheels.

If you put it more towards the front of your vehicle, then your rear wheels will do most of the steering and vice versa.


Again, in most cases the best idea is to simply use your center of mass.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1478767550 In your other creation I see this intersection point of lines outside the vehicle, usually the center of turning of a car is referred to as this point. However as you mention center of rotation I am very unsure about if they are the same concept or not. If this point is outside the vehicle how would I find it?

When you refer to center of rotation does that mean the center of the turning circle or is it somewhere within the top view of the car? A wheeled car does not turn on the spot like a tracked vehicle do so I could not understand what do you mean by center of rotation of the vehicle. Could you please explain a bit more and how to find this point either way? Thank you.

The x and y are relative to where you want your center of rotation to be.
For cars it's usually a good idea to put that close to the center of mass.
