Do you have mesh tires that have high land impact when set to solid/convex hull?

Solid/convex hull parts have a much higher land impact score. If you have detailed mesh tires/wheel tire combos that are pushing your land impact score up dramatically, instead keep them phantom and add an invisible prim cylinder set to solid inside them. The invisible prim need not be set to spin/etc, just to solid so that the vehicle will have something to ride on.

v5.1 OFFICIAL Release

5.1 is the v5 full edition, install and enjoy. As always, it is free for all registered owners of the KCP script set, back to v1.0. To get your update, check recent notices in the KCP Script Owners Group. You can also touch the Updater Machine at the official KCP headquarters at the Panhead region with your group tag active. If you left the group or missed the invite, contact me directly for your update and/or to rejoin the KCP Script Owners Group.

v5 has many new features and vastly improved performance. If you previously used only v4 or earlier, you will find many new or vastly improved functions in v5 such as Mouselook steering, scriptless wheels, Turbo, eight pose states, new powerful camera functions, pose synchronization , integrated automatic over 32 prim mode and more. Setup tools are much improved, including the Mechanic HUD and in some cases fully automatic, such as wheel alignment and pose activation. Overall script time is greatly reduced as many functions are streamlined, and combined. Each animation has its unique adjustment setting instead of one adjustment per animation state, making multiple animation setup easier and more intuitive to use. The new skinnable v5 Driver HUD for vehicle operators accesses many features with expanding menus, including pose positioning and loading camera presets and even multiple pose sets. Browse the features list.

Since v1.0 the KCP scripts have also been installed in many cars, boats and other vehicles, and v5 expands and simplifies the ease of setup and features specifically for car and boat support as well as continuing to set the standard for motorcycle scripts in SL with new unique features like Turning Front End and integrated over 32 prim mode.

Despite the load of available options and accessories, ACS is still the most powerful and simplest and easiest set of scripts to install. as well as still the only all-original, author-supported and updated motorcycle script system available.

The main things to know about updating:

Updating from v4+ Installation is essentially the same except for the scriptless wheels system. Wheel alignments are now automatic, the wheel alignment tool is no longer needed and there is support for many more sculpted wheel alignments. The pose/animation system is expanded, setup and use is simplified, and the use of the Pose Activator Tool is no longer required. If updating an existing vehicle you will need to replace all scripts. The GFX-T & GFX-C are replaced with an updated GFX-TC system, but your existing cfg-paint notecards and prim keywords are still compatible. Car (turning front wheels and banking setup) and boat support is greatly simplified and expanded. Overall script overhead is way down. See Quick Setup. The Over 32 prim mode is integrated and automatically activated, and you no longer need to use the Over32 script for higher prim builds.

Updating from v5 betas The Over 32 prim mode is integrated and automatically activated, and you no longer need to use the Over32 script. The Over 32 prim mode mode memory issues with higher prim builds are cleared up and it now works properly with both the Park Routine and flight and Turning Front End system. The Root Animator has been renamed to Park & Resizer and an additional Animator for flight mode and Turning Front End system. Root Animator Setup Tool is renamed PARK AND ANIMATOR SETUP TOOL. Turning Front End system in the betas has been fixed to permit spinning sculpted components (wheels) and all associated and now unnecessary experimental texture animation junk and keywords needed for it have been removed. Many bug fixes, including fixing of Flight Mode and pose system irregularities. The use of the Pose Activator Tool is no longer required. Overall script overhead is way down. See Quick Setup. See Changes from v5 beta (PR6)

Customizations

  • Replace the default burnout particles using the v5.11 Custom Burnout Particles script, located in your child prim scripts box.
  • If using multiple poses all rendered at the same hip height, you can use the new single pose adjustment option to bypass needing to choose which pose state to adjust every time.
  • Set up for Boat use.
