This new version allows rigging vehicles with any number of wheels and with any of their mutual arrangements. Any number of trailers is also supported.
  
 There are simplified behavioural settings for each of the wheels and related components, which can be fine tuned if required. This allows to simulate motion of any type of vehicle - from a race car to a heavy truck. Animation is created during simulation in real time. Simulation can be controlled by keyboard, joystick, game controller or steering wheel. It is also possible to set up ‘Follow path’ and ‘Follow the Object’ mode. There are simplified behavioural settings for each of the wheels and related components, which can be fine tuned if required.
