can we do something about sliding down gentle inclines when stopped? its really bad in wheeled vehicles.

Thanks for the report!

Just to know which vehicles are doing it to compare the code, which vehicle currently does this?

[R-DEV]Alon discovered a while back that there's a component in the engine called Sleepiness which decides how much time to wait when a physics object is very slow until it "freezes" it in place.

The memory locations are known, but it's a matter of figuring out the value, and the method of patching them with a lower value for PCO's (Player Control Objects) and testing to make sure it has no side-effects.

Though initially, my suspicion is that it's either these two values being too low:
(Values found in some jeeps)

Might be the engineBrakeTorque being set too low which results in it sliding.
For example, civ_jep_technical (+ all color variants) Testing this on Kashan with a Hmmwv and a Technical, the Technical slides further due to the engineBrakeTorque being too low, while the Hmmwv with a value of 2000 doesn't slide as much when on an incline.

Also there's a Handbrake solution posted way back that I'll have a look at if a fix to the brake physics isn't found:

its really the technicals that give me issues, especially since they have terrible gun depression you need to be angled down on a hill and you just slide all over the place.

Thx, added issue to project tracker to fix for v1.6

thanks!

Edit: the VN-3 is pretty bad too.
