This plugin is great!
But I’ve only managed to start the simulation once… I’m trying to resimulate from your scene, I press Reset animation (tried pressing Recal, and other buttons like Update Surface after this) but then when I press Enter on the transparent window, I see the throttle and the brake changing, but the car doesn’t move. What’s the correct procedure, starting from your example, to create a new animation?
Also I’ve managed to crash my max a lot (no Craft Director Tools installed). Here’s how, starting from your scene. Reset Animation> Update Surface > Recalc. I know this might be not the right way to press the buttons, but it crashes my max 100% of the time. I’m using x64 max by the way.
Thank you, and the animation is really cool!
tipically installing the latest quicktime stops firefox from crashing…
Thanks a lot!
You did help me to find bug.
I corrected it.
Please redownload plugin.
To start real time driving
Move current max time bar to start frame http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7711/opsye4.jpg
Press to “update surface”
Press to “OnRunDriving”
Thanks, you fixed that crash!
About the simulation, you put me on the right track. But in order for it to work I must firstly change the Start time spinner, then set it back to 0 again.
going back into max for a drive 
Маладэц!
Плаг просто супер, всё предельно качественно и просто.
А реалтаймовое управление вообще просто чудо.
Правда у меня, почему-то, только с мышки получается управлять.
I said that he did good job.
can i request a very simple feature ? trust me … its very simple .
for people getting errors with firefox , try opera for 15 min. and you will forget firefox
at least it doesn’t use as much memory
Man!!! You’re a genius!!! Very Good Job! Is what I’m searching for a long time, thanx indeed.
Did you use some other plug in for the camera movements?
Bye I’m stay tuned for your videos.
Wonderfull. Thanks you for your generosity. One ask: can you check the sample? There’s an error and it say me “File open failed”. Thanks again and obviously sorry for my english.
thanks a lot , i was gonna ask for a selectable pieces of the car , however when i linked
geometry to the car , i was able to put cameras and do what i needed
so its already there , thanks again
IMHO , your mad car have beaten the TOY car
