Which number controls steering range of a wheel?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm attempting to modify the Ruggedized rover wheel to give it some more steering capability to better control my rovers for an upcoming project. I am not modifying the original, I've made a copy for the job.

I'm confused as to which figure in the .cfg file for the wheel controls the range of its steering, and would like some help finding it from someone who's done it before.

PART

{

name = wheelMed

module = Part

author = Squad

mesh = model.mu

scale = 1

rescaleFactor = 1

node_attach = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0

TechRequired = advancedMotors

entryCost = 6000

cost = 580

category = Utility

subcategory = 0

title = TR-5L Ruggedized Directional Guidance Wheel

manufacturer = Kerbal Motion LLC

description = The TR-5L is an extremely tough wheel made for controlling the direction of even the baddest of rovers. It has no powered motors to add troque or acceleration, but makes up for it with enhanced steering capabilities.

attachRules = 0,1,0,1,0

mass = 0.05

dragModelType = default

maximum_drag = 0.3

minimum_drag = 0.2

angularDrag = 1

crashTolerance = 7

maxTemp = 1200 // = 3600

crashTolerance = 100

breakingForce = 80

breakingTorque = 80

bulkheadProfiles = srf

MODULE

{

name = ModuleWheel

hasMotor = false

resourceName = ElectricCharge

resourceConsumptionRate = 0.7

canSteer = true

controlAxisType = Forward

steeringModeType = AutomaticSteer

brakeTorque = 500

brakeSpeed = 2.5

impactTolerance = 300

overSpeedDamage = 70

WHEEL

{

wheelName = wheel

wheelColliderName = wheelCollider

suspensionTransformName = suspensionTraverse

suspensionNeutralPointName = suspensionNeutralPoint

damagedObjectName = bustedwheel

rotateX = 1

rotateY = 0

rotateZ = 0

}

steeringCurve

{

key = 0 10

key = 10 6

key = 30 2

}

torqueCurve

{

key = 0 100 0 0

key = 2.5 70 0 0

key = 30 0 0 0

}

}

MODULE

{

name = FXModuleConstrainPosition

matchRotation = true

matchPosition = false

CONSTRAINFX

{

targetName = steering

moversName = trackSteering

}

}

}

Thanks a million!
