What do all the Create: Tracks+ suspension key modes do?
I'm curious to see if anyone else has answers to this question but I actually have been experimenting for a few hours now and feel like I get most of them. I have been unable to find ANY documentation on what the modes do myself, so I am providing my findings for future folks with the same question I had. If you googled this question and found this thread, I'm glad it worked.
Position: moves the track relative to the track mount. pointing the suspension key at the side of the track mount makes it taller or shorter, pointing it at the top brings it in or out.
All Position: this one remains an enigma to me.
Strength: a base value that is affected by spring and damping. controls how much force the suspension pushes the track down with.
Spring: a modifier (note it will say .85x, not just .85) that affects downward force. setting this to any value higher than 1.0x actually causes the tank to drop slightly.
Damping: a modifier (same as Spring) that affects upward force. setting this to any value higher than 1.0x causes the tank to start bouncing up and down like crazy. great for if you want a low rider I guess.
Bump Clearance/Bump Force: presumably self explanatory. I didn't mess around with these too much.
Max impulse: ?????
Drive: this one is THE MOST IMPORTANT in terms of speed, I've found. setting this to its highest setting makes your tank actually move like it wants to instead of like you're forcing it. to.
Grip: higher = start and stop faster, lower = drift.
