Simple Piston Steering Mk1

描述
A steering mechanism designed to turn your vehicle and hold it in a given direction. Relatively compact and provides relatively stable transport movement at wide range of speeds

Dimensions
(in small blocks)
Length - 7 (+1, space for steering)
Width - 5 (+4, space for steering)
Height - 3

Piston
Left limit: 0.85 m
Middle position: 0.5 m
Right limit: 0.15 m
Steering angle limit: ~45 degrees
Steering speed: 0.6 m/s (Recommended)

Wheels
Supported diameter - up to 3.5 small blocks

Vehicle speed limits
Stable steering at speeds up to 90 km/h | 56 mph (non-patched game, described in Note 2)

Features
FWD/AWD pulleys for wheel
Solid steering rod, more stable than rope connection

Note 1: all catch blocks and attached blocks are buggy as hell so don't even try to modify any moving parts (you can still safely change brake channels etc.). Otherwise you will return to your desktop immediately. DLLS patch fixes this problem: https://discord.gg/YuJwhHS, #how-to-fix-your-me-client.

Note 2: DLLS patch creates a bigger problem, caused by modification of vanilla physics. Size 0.5 pulley begins waving like hell and your vehicle becomes useless. To avoid it use size 2 pulley (above is fine too). Maximum speed is still decreased though, brave new physics. Btw, group of drive wheels will require additional experiments, if you don't want an unexpected skidding.
In a nutshell:
- AWD suits cars with middle-pos center of mass and provides better contact with road (crucial for rough-terrain fellas). Any notable offset of the CoM from middle pos will lead to skidding.
- RWD suits either "highway" cars or most trucks. The main advantage is transfer of load from steering mechanism, which decreases waving. But contact with road worsens. CoM can be in either middle or with reasonable offset to rear.
- FWD suits only 4-wheel light vehicles. Provides better direction control, but any waving causes unwanted steering. FWD requires best stability of steering mechanism, which is unreachable in trucks because of mass. It's a real experimental mess so use only AWD/RWD.


Note 3: Also recommended to increase friction of axis (2000 on left main axis, 1000 on right main axis for light car. Don't increase friction of steering rod axis, piston axis and piston itself - less friction, more response), it helps to reduce total waving of wheels. Don't increase it too much, otherwise the steering will be less smooth and less responsive.
