the Physics of Racing

are there any pitfalls one should be aware of when using Brian Beckman's series as reference for implementing a simple simulator? -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 "Det er nok ingen ovn, men fartsm�leren v�r."

Just that most of it is unorthodox and books generally take a different route. But any route is ok, as long as you can follow it enough to program it. :) Ruud van Gaal Free car sim : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/

physics is fraught with pitfalls. All those funny symbols and odd equations. Combine that with programming and it is something I'm glad YOU are attmpting and not me. dave henrie "Gunnar Horrigmo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

sounds great. I'm on a (very) strict budget, and those SAE-books are a bit to expensive for my tastes. Thanks for the input. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 "Det er nok ingen ovn, men fartsm�leren v�r."
