Hi,

What is your PhysX version? If it’s 3.2.x you can use the Vehicle extension. Take a look into the Vehicles section of the physX User’s Guide. You also need to look into the samples. I think that that is the simple way to have a good looking vehicle.

I’m currently working on implementing vehicles using 3.2.2…and as mentioned by finalherizo, the Vehicle extension is the way to go. If your software setup allow you to use the 3.2.x versions. I would do so. Setting up the vehicle is a little involved, but if you follow the example it should be a little easier…
