Hello,

I have started to modify official Car Demo Project (from Editor menu) in order to make a birthday game-gift for my little cousin but it seems that the car model is behaving strangely in APK version.

In Flash version the car is going straight but in APK version it's always gradually turning to the right. It can't keep the straight line, the behavior is similar to the real-life car behavior if one of the tires are defective.

Is this a problem with my tablet or is it a problem with a car code?

This is because the car is using accelerometer by default for steering so you don't have to use the joystick to steer the car.
If you want to disable the accelerometer, you can disable the car's automatic keys and use your own inputs.
You can see an example here:

You can also add your own custom buttons and it will disable the automatic joystick and buttons that are being added.

Thank you for reply, I tried it and it worked, the car is going forward without any turns in APK

...but it's almost unplayable with the the new controls, left button is positioned on the right, the reset button is next to forward button and above reverse button... it's a mess

If the new buttons can't be rearranged is there a way to compensate for accelerometer, something like: if the object is moving set vehicle steering -0.01 ?

You can add your own custom controls by dragging a joystick and buttons to the game area.
The default controls wouldn't appear as long as you are using your own controls.

You can change the vehicle steering by changing the vehicle's properties like in the example we gave you:

BTW, You can create your own custom car by following the examples in this forum thread:

Good luck with your birthday game-gift.

Yes, I tried joystick with custom keys and it worked out great, even added a little 'Wait' line of code to prevent left/right increment after 0.2 sec

I tried to replace the car with another model but it was not so easy so I just placed new model on top and made default car invisible It worked out fine:

I still have to delete Police lights from a top of the car and experiment with car's texture but gameplay is now more important.
