Rigs of Rods
Rigs of Rods (also known as RoR), is an open source truck,
car, airplane and boat simulator. You can drive, fly or sail in total
freedom in an open environment.
Rigs of Rods is primarily a truck simulator, but it can also
simulate cars, cranes, airplanes, boats, bridges, and any arbitrary
construction.
This is a simulation game based on a custom advanced
soft body physics engine called Beam. Beam simulates a network of
interconnected nodes (forming the chassis and the wheels) and gives the
ability to simulate deformable objects. Vehicles chassis and wheels are
simulated in real-time as
flexible objects, giving the simulation an extremely accurate behavior,
while allowing the vehicles to be simply specified structurally.
Gameplay is emergent and takes place in a virtual 9km2 sandbox
environment. The chassis and wheels deform according to the stress they
bear, and crashes are interesting to see too.
Features include:
- Highly moddable
- Unique soft-body physics
- Vehicles chassis and wheels are simulated in real-time
as flexible objects
- Advanced flight model based on blade element theory,
allowing the accurate simulation of any airplane, base on their
physical dimensions
and wing airfoils
- Accurate buoyancy model based on elemental pressure
gradients, enabling boats with complex hulls to move realistically in
the swell
