Default Re Ackermann adjustment

Gidday,

interesting thread,

Re:ackermann

I think it depends on whether you use the inside radius or the outside radius as the controling angle.

For example if you have 27 degrees on the inner wheel and you decrease the ackermann angle but keep the 27 degree inner wheel angle, the car will have more steering. This will be because the outer wheel will turn at angle closer to the inner.

If you are running on a tight track you will usually use all your steering lock or close to it. So naturally its easy to make the inner wheel the control angle.
