Suspension Diagrams - Workings

I'm gonna discuss how my Suspension Diagram program works in this post. Brace yourself for maths!

Suspension diagrams

In my venture to learn more about vehicle dynamics, and apply that knowledge to racing simulators, I found the need for some fairly intimate analysis of the cars. The characteristics of the suspension are affected by a lot of things. For instance, in an Endurance Series DBR9, the default front spring rate of 245n/mm translates to a 'wheel rate' of 133n/mm when measured at the wheel. This is due to various factors in the suspension geometry. I figured this would be helpful to understand on a car-by-car basis, so I'm working on a program to draw diagrams of the suspension geometry on these cars. Read on for more info.

Alien Swarm & Formations

I think I've been playing too much Alien Swarm. Since it's release 2-3 days ago, I've got 22 hours of gameplay, according to Steam. Doing my best to get all the achievements. Note the progress through the campaign on insane difficulty, which has proven to be the most enjoyable thing I've done in the game so far. It certainly isn't easy though, we've had to be really strict with our strategies. Which hopefully will help anyone else who's trying to do the same thing.

Project Lemon update

Yes, I know, at fucking last, what took me so long, leave me alone >:(

Anyway, this update just rounds off a few of the rough edges. Hopefully after this I can leave it alone. Maybe I'll pick it up again in a while, maybe I'll never touch it again. Either way, here it is for anyone who wants to to check it out, pick bits out, expand on it, whatever you want. Enjoy :3

Project Lemon Release 2

Progress has gone nicely on version 2. I've adjusted the weapons to make them more accurate, fixed being able to change the camera to the same side over and over, got some model fixes from Ken to include, and it's actually independent from CSS now. I'll release it when I get those models from Ken, and after that hopefully get away with never touching it again. :D No real ETA though, sorry, I keep forgetting to ask him for them... :(
