Description

Hydros don't seem to ever deform; only break. So steering can only get misaligned by the suspension arm itself bending, not the tie rod (hydro) as it would also in a real car.

If I remember correctly this is done for a reason and it comes down to forces acting on the hydro's oddly or something, it was in the thread for Aperion's collision patch? not sure, need to look.

Well, it severely limits the way front suspension can deform. For example it's impossible to get any wheel pushback from hitting curbs when hydros can't deform (unless a complex two-segment suspension arm is made)

yes, its a limitation of the implementation as far as i see it

Needs research, there was a reason why we removed deformation for shocks and hydros when we switched to beams v2.

There was an issue with wrong calculations based on beams->L and difftobeamlen based on this var.
Thats why estama removed the ability to deform from shocks, commands, hydros, actually any beams with beam_hydro or beam_hydro_invisble status.
I do not think this can be resetted easily, for sure estama had a reason to do so.
