Hi everyone !

In my current racing simulation, for a RWD car, the front wheels rotation speed is calculated with the local z velocity of the car.
This work well from now, but my simulation is getting more complex now, and i was wondering if calculating the front wheels rotation with the ground friction was a good idea ?

For example, rear wheels acceleration push the car forward and move the car.
Then, i would accelerate the front wheels with the traction force (frontWheelsAngularVelocity vs ground speed).

Is this a good approach to calculate the wheels that are not linked with the drive train ?

I know that this is a very specific question but, any feedback or discussion about this is welcome.

Thank you in advance.
Best regards !

One more time Kunos thank you !

I will try to apply this new approach to my simulation and see if everything works and looks fine.
Kunos, my car sim is getting better, i plan to release a demo quite soon (I still don't know when exactly tho). Be sure to check your gamedev private message because you will be the first one to receive it !

Cheers !
Best regards.
