btBvhTriangleMeshShape collision problem

[r_bewick]

Hi, I am creating a racing game which has a track made out of btBvhTriangleMeshShape pieces, such as straights and corners like in trackmania. I load the vertices for the pieces from meshes I have created.

My car drives fine over the straight pieces of road, but on the corners, it seems to hit bumps when my car is travelling fast, like the vertex normals of the btBvhTriangleMeshShape are not the same as the normals of the mesh or something.
Can someone help me with this?
thanks,

Hi,

do you use the bullet vehicle or a bullet character controller for the car?

Thanks for the reply, pico.
I use the vehicle from the bullet vehicle example.

Hi, sorry for the delay.

There are problems with wrong normals at the edges of a mesh. Please look here for a solution:
