Floating Vehicle Problem

[Slashtheevil]

So I've followed the youtube tutorial of lexluthornumber1 on how to make a hovering vehicle in UDK based on the rig/files of the Manta.

I've posted a couple of videos on youtube of my results.



Here is a link to the second video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUM6Q_37gHU&feature=plcp

As you might be able to see from these videos that my vehicle is very slow at moving around and turning and I find this to be a problem. I've had a look around and i've been unable to find an explanation of how to alter this. So can anyone here help me out?

I'll post the default properties from my custom UTVehicle_PlayerShip file. Hopefully this will help.

I've altered a few of these a bit but it's not helped the problem.

cant say i've had problems like that, don't forget to adjust the mass value in the physics asset, plus try and fix the camera to a normal view as that might effect the turning

Cheers geodav, editing the mass solved the problem perfectly.
