Re: [Virtools] Physics Car with Tender

Ok, I am really dense today, sorry.

Here is what I understand, please correct me where I am wrong :-)

You have a lead vehicle (the tractor) and a following vehicle (the trailer).

You want to drive the tractor and have the trailer follow in a realistic
manner.

If you ignore the wheels on the trailer, a ball and socket joint between the
tractor and the trailer produces the desired result.

However, there appears to be a problem with the trailer wheels and this is
where I am confused.

1) they are penetrating the ground?
or
2) they are not rolling along the ground
or
3) both
or
4) something else entirely is happening?

Is the trailer also a Physics Car?

Hope to be able to help you soon :-)
