Steering improvements for rover wheels

Recommended Posts

The wheels now have a steering response setting and a steering angle limiter. No more all or nothing steering. This is a major quality of life improvement for anyone who builds rovers.  Rollovers, especially in low gravity environments, will be much easier to avoid, even at speed.

 

Brilliant!

True.

However

1. they haven’t built any cargo holds that can hold rovers (almost all are too narrow and if you do get a super narrow river into the widest cargo hold it just bounces around like popcorn in a popcorn maker)

2. have limited the wheel speeds to 10m/s (in KSP1 we could hit 50-60m/s)

3. Removed the throttle limiters and indications of what level of throttle is being applied.

4. Made the wheels so they won’t climb anything beyond a minor hill.

Overall I’d say they have some work to do on rovers.
