Hello,

Does anyone on the list have a simple vehicle dynamics alogorithm
for passenger cars that they are willing & able to share?

I'm working on a "toy" driving simulator application for a VR
display, and just need to provide a car that is more or less
accurate. Inputs I'm prepared to feed to the algorithm include
a steering offset, acceleration, brake, ground friction coefficient,
and ground slope (is there anything else that is absolutely
necessary?).

I'll take existing code, psuedocode, a collection of algorithms,
whatever is available.

        Thanks,
        Bill
