Hey guys, as you see this is my first post (one of the few Ogre users from Greece!!)
I am curently on the last year of my technological university of athens(computer studies) and starting to develop my thesis.
I want to use the Newton engine and OgreNewt wrapper but I saw that it doesn't support vehicle and all I want to make is a simple kart game.
Will it be supported again in a future release or do I have to pick up an other physics engine (I would like Physx, but they have closed the server, I don't know until when)such as OgreOde???

There is a raycast vehicle implementation in NGD, but it has not been made available to OgreNewt yet, but hopefully it will be soon :P

Newton 2 doesn't support jet multibody car if you are looking for that, at least only car with simple wheels it can be made but no torque or breaking. I wrote wrapper for multibody car for OgreNewt but its just experimental and im waiting for julio so he finishes Joint library :).

If anyone is interested in news i am updating OgreNewt Vehicle so it uses CustomMultiBodyVehicle Joint, i had to change some of JointLibrary.

Here is test video of OgreNewt Vehicle.

offtopic: I tested OgreNewt with latest Ogre 1.7.0RC1 and its works great

Until i dont solve some weard problems:
like very straight under steer, vehicle goes straight when you are applying torque to steered wheels and trying to make a turn.
Suspension problems. Some very weard effect when applying to much torque.

And until i don't complete my exams.
