Free Vehicle Turning Simulation

Hi LAKL,

First off you are most generous to offer this tool to users at no cost. Thank you!

I gave it a quick run and can offer some feedback.

At first glance it appears you have done well in modeling the tracking of the vehicles. I can imagine the challenge of modeling articulated vehicles through complex geometries. Well done!

However there are 2 glaring shortcomings that I think you should address right out.

1) Considering the many wheel and overhang paths that are generated, it is difficult to distinguish what the various lines represent. There needs to be a way to differentiate the graphics such as assigning preconfigured colors and linestyles or levels, etc.

2) When reprocessing there needs to be a way to remove or regenerate the old graphics. Perhaps by creating graphic groups for easy selection and deletion (probably the best option) or by making the software erase and recreate the graphics automatically.

I'll be watching for new developments.

Thanks again!

P.S. I spoke too soon. I see now that you do create graphic groups. My GG lock was off. Ignore that comment.
