"link" is the location of the bottom end of the shock along the x,y and z axes, relative to the centre of the axle. "reflength" I dont know the exact definition, but increase or decrease this value to get the bottom of the shock model to sit in its proper location. Perhaps it is the length of the shock model in 3DS Max, minus the minimum shock length found in the .geom file.

Hopefully this helps.

How do I align my axis' on the model?  I can't get the bottoms and tops to meet up correctly?

The IK links debug mode should help tuning the suspension geometry:

My framerates are terrible in WRS only, 25-30.  The other games all work fine, 90-100 FPS with everything maxed out.  I recently switched from nVidia to AMD and haven't applied and special settings to WRS via the Radeon tools.  I tried a fresh install and user folder and it was the same.  What am I missing?

Unfortunately there is a known problem with terrain rendering on AMD cards.
The issue is still under investigation.

This is a known, long standing, bug 
Unfortunately the focus of the upcoming Beta12 is in porting all the latest features and improving the tyre simulation on dirt.
The suspensions simulation will be fixed in Beta13 

If a major company asks for it, would you give GPB priority?

I need to know this as I have been communicating about GPB for a major VR company and their main worry is the issue of development for GPB for LAN and internet useage with VR support.

As you hardly reply to PM messages I have to ask this on the forum and request you reply either here or with an actual PM. I try my best to push your product, but with your lack of acknolidgement, I can only try. Please understand, YOU need to respond to requests. There are companies that wish to use GPB, but due to the lack of development, they wont. Please PM me for further details!!!

Yours very sincerly
Allan Beaton (DD)

It wouldn't be very respectful of the community to give priority to GPB just because a major company asks for it, while longtime loyal supporters unfortunately are forced to wait.
Nonetheless, please report what the problems and requests are, and if there is a deadline.
Thank you for your support
