Wheeled Vehicle tire friction

Physics
#1

Hi there,

is there a way to modify the tire friction for the wheels?
It seems, that adding a physics material to the wheel colliders is not working.

If you check the WheelState, the friction is always 5.

You can use the sample prefab to verify this.

You’re right, that’s currently missing feature and friction is always 5: https://github.com/FlaxEngine/FlaxEngine/blob/36a18a0b56424efba00a1e40a7ad651e20759cc9/Source/Engine/Physics/Physics.cpp#L863

I added this to the roadmap for 1.3 update (will impl this within the next1-2 weeks).

Will be in the next engine update.
