btHingeConstraint sliding downhills

Post by mrEscen »

Hello Guy's,

I'm building a combined raycast off-road vehicle with four wheels and suspension.
Everything works fine and it's fun to drive, but have a small problem.
I'm using btHingeConstraint on the wheels for driving, but when the wheels aren't turning my vehicle slowly slide downhills.
Independent wheels without constraints behaves as expected and are not sliding.
I have tried different mass and friction settings but it doesn't have any influence on sliding.
Also when I disable all forces applied in my raycast functions the vehicle is still sliding downhills, so no bug here.

I suspect it has something to do with the btHingeConstraint but I'm not sure.

Anyone any idea what I'm missing here?
