[PIGMI] 2011

[Michael B]

I've been playing with 3impact again recently. I do this on and off
sometimes, have been playing with it years. I've got a nice 3 minute long
road i like to drive down and test car physics on for fun. :-P

I have got it going very smooth its like a cruise down the highway ... and
with the ability to do donuts still. This is ordinary a bit difficult
becaues of vehicle weight being a full weight car. But you can still lose
control with swerving going highway speed.

I was thinking of making it a bit like road to perdition, bring back 1940s
and commercial trucks and package carrying but thats as far as its gone, so
far.

Just playing around...

Michael.
