from the videos it looks good but at the same time it looks like the ferrari is pivoting by the center?
imagine it having a pole going through the roof and into ground and when you turn the car will turn around that pole which makes it look a bit odd.. i haven't played it yet it might be just videos

It is not pivoting by the center.
There is absolutely no driving aids or stuff like that, and all the tire model is Pacejka 96 formula.

Please try the demo if you have the time, and tell me if you feel anything wrong.
Looks great so far. I only have one problem: my Xbox 360 controller keeps turning wheels to right even tough im not touching joystick.

Thank you for testing the game !
I have a Playstation type controller so i don't know what's happen with the Xbox 360 one.
Can give me a little bit more details about the issue you have ?

how much the wheels turn to the right ?

well, after seeing videos, i can say that actually what JC have said is correct, the car looks pivot'ed in the center and when steer looks like a slot car(the wheel orientation does not match to the steering angle) and another weird thing is that all times you stop the car, the rear wheels keep turning for a little time.. i hope you'll be able to fix this two things, because this seems to be a nice project :)

Again, just by seeing a video is hard to say anything. Also, the video was made with the first build.
The demo is build number 2 and may have some issue fixed already.

My simulation still need some work at low speed.
Low speed car simulation are very tricky to solve.
That may explain why the wheels orientation does not match the steering angle.

But of course, at high speed, this is just normal.
The tires have a maximum grip and in that case the wheels will go in a different direction whatever the steering angle you use.

The build number 3 should be ready for the 20 of this month !

I hope i can do it in time, because i am very busy at work for the moment...
