If the lateral force an a tire is higher than the max "it can take" I can play nice skidding sounds on asphalt, but I was wondering what the sound would be on grassy floor surfaces. I'm not sure if the real-world sound would differ from the "normal" grass driving sound. In general I think grass sounds won't be screeching ;) What do you think? Did anyone test this with his car? ;) Robert stunt game "Crashday" http://www.moonbyte.de
OK. I just did some testing: * 2 inch, thick lawn, dry - I was a bit surprised by this one. I'm not sure exactly what I expected, but what I got was not it. I did some power slides, four wheel drifts, and severe understeer under power. I couldn't hear anything but the suspension, engine and tranny. I went in in neutral, no throttle, hanging my head out the open door, parking brake slide to the drivers side... It sounded like... get this... falling snow. That is the closest I can come to analogy and I explain sounds for a living. Very light sound, like wind blowing lightly and slowly through heavy cloth. But if you've ever heard snow landing, think that and amplify it. * 2 inch, thick lawn, wet - Sounds to me like driving on water. That slushing sound that a water ski makes, or snowboards in spring. * Folded brown lawn - Sounds very much like dirt. Lightly brushy crackly. Can get some low howling from wheel spin. * Folded brown lawn, decaying landscape, lumpy - Can hear the hollow impact of the tread wall and sidewall of the tires on top of the "folded brown lawn" sound when hitting clods. Suspension sounds are much louder and more frequent. The engine is, of course, sporadic. -- "Racing! - Science for the action minded." mark "MothaBrain" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > If the lateral force an a tire is higher than the max "it can take" I > can play nice skidding sounds on asphalt, but I was wondering what the > sound would be on grassy floor surfaces. > I'm not sure if the real-world sound would differ from the "normal" > grass driving sound.

I vote downloading the Physics / Graphics knowledge from both ur brains. Although I would need some serious filters, I dread to think what is in there :) Ash "Gregor Veble" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Trust me, you wouldn't want to know. (unless ideas such as the one that the attraction of various female body parts follows a clear resonance curve with respect to their frequency of oscillation, which means that there is an optimal frequency for each of them, are what you're after) -Gregor
