Physics Suspension upside down after a crash

[Orujo98]

Hello, I have an rs200 with DWB suspension at 4 wheels. I modded the car and it goes fine exept for the suspension. When im going fast and i jump and land on the road or hit a bump the suspension, direction and wheels turn upside down to the interior of the car and because of that ofc the car is undriveable. I have to tell that this happens with all dmg OFF.

Which parameter should i change?

The car handles pretty good but then this happens:

It's not really a parameter you can change, just suspension geometry with components getting into unsolvable situations without knowing how they collide which AC doesn't model.

Then, what can i do? I tried to change the suspension with other cars. It makes it a little bit stronger but not that much to solve the problem. If i remeber the F40 has the same problem when it crashes at high speeds while other cars dont

That happens in a lot of cars, mod and official. Just AC things.

Then i can't fix it? :/ There has to be way

Just need to build suspension that can take a longer travel range before it happens, which is kinda a matter of trial and error (longer arms help but it's mainly about the proportion between A arms and tie rod length) Also shorter bumpstop range helps but I haven't yet seen a tutorial that adequately explains how those parameters work.

WOW BOIII it works, i did both wbcar_top and wbtyre_top longer and it worked. The porblem as u say its that the bars where too short that the suspension collapsed everytime. Thank you very much :"D u made me happy im serious

Yeah, that helps. Unfortunately there are cars where real data results in the same issue, so not always an option if you are prioritizing accuracy and realism.

yeah, but this also changes the overall motion profile of the suspension, stuff like camber curves. In my experience you can also play with the up/down coordinates (should be the second in all the inis, (X,Y,Z) ). If the distance between the upper and lower wishbone mount on the wheel hub is too short compared to the wishbone lengths it can cause the whole wheel to "flip" upside down on impacts sooner.

Also this is independent from suspension damage, its just the suspension moving out of statically determined orientation with too much "zing" before the physics calculation catches up to it.

Just in case i leave here the suspension.ini code:
