*Before people think this is about NoLimits. It's not! It's about Sream Machines!*


I never really went into depth with the G-Force system from Scream Machines, but since I recently got back into building I started wondering:
At what spot is the G-force calculation been done in the engine? Is it calculated on the track or the actual heartline from the cars?

Since I'm trying to build a couple nice rolls that look perfectly heartlined but when checking the lateral forces they exceed towards 2g. Like the G-force measurement happens on tracklevel and not the actual heartline...

I hope someone could clear up this question for me. [:)]

No one's responded to this lol. Sorry about the late response. I am pretty sure it's on the track instead of the heartline from the cars. This is why some spots of the track can get really high lateral g's when it looks heartlined.. yeah you probably figured it out by now... lol
