Wind or other external forces?

Question

Is there a mechanism to add external forces to the vehicle such as wind? I'm looking at simulating a car driving through a strong cross-wind.

Answer 1

You can apply external forces to the vehicle's rigidbody with Rigidbody.AddForce() or Rigidbody.AddForceAtPosition() from FixedUpdate().

In Vehicle Physics Pro, you can access the vehicle's rigidbody from an add-on component like this:

public override void FixedUpdateVehicle ()
{
    vehicle.cachedRigidbody.AddForce(myCustomForce);
}
