Well, the wheels are not jumping as in this topic, ill explain my problem. Lets say i accelerate up to maybe 5 km/h and brake very hard, the vehicle will slip almost two meters away like if it was made of soap. I saw on the wiki that you could set NewtonVehicleSetTireMaxLongitudinalSlideSpeed, which would maybe be what i need, but it is deprecated in newton 2...

The reason I say read that is because the Mutibody car is still in the prosses of being revisited.
For now the only option is the RayCast car until the Next Beta with will have a fully working mutibody car.

Ok, sorry, well thanks. Let's hope the next beta will be released soon, i like the new multibody vehicle

NewtonVehicleSetTireMaxLongitudinalSlideSpeed is marked as deprecated as the original car joint is currently not part of newton.h and i have not yet created pages for the new joint libraries.

Dom66: you could check your car masses and acceleration forces, it could be that your cars are simply too heavy to break the way you desire, while your engine power is enough to move the car mass the way you want, i had the same issue when i built my 2-d mini car lib.

Nice screenshots btw, but it could use some antialiasing
