steering

why when in the air does the steering go the oposite way i turn if on ground o turn left it go left but when the front comes up off the ground or in mid jump i turn left steering go right

[insane]

Because this is how it goes 🤓

Mx Bikes is based on counter steering.
When you turn left on the ground, your handlebars turn right, making you turn left. So in simple words, the steering is inverted, and it's only noticable in air.

This is a big sciency explanation I put up on the discord explaining MX Sim's Direct Steering and MX Bikes' Direct Lean.
In MXS the steering works by applying the input directly to the handle bars, meaning you turn the bars, not lean the bike, but because the bike has to lean to turn, when you steer the bars actually turn the opposite way to force the bike to lean the way you want to steer. Say you want to turn right from a stand still. Initially the handle bars will turn left to force the bike to lean right, and once you start moving forward that movement forces the front wheel to align with the direction you are leaning and you turn right. It's the same at high speeds too, but much less noticeable. When you turn right the bars actually turn left very slightly to allow the bike to tip over further to the right. If the bars turned the way you were leaning the front wheel would shift under the bike and you would straighten up instead of turn harder.
MXB works in much the same way but opposite, so your input controls the lean angle instead of turning the bars. The bars will still turn slightly in the opposite direction when steering to allow the bike to tip over, but this happens automatically and is hardly noticeable, except of course when in the air when the ground isn't keeping the wheels straight. It's also much more realistic this way because when riding a real bike you consciously lean the bike into corners, not turn the bars (unless you're going slow). The bars just naturally turn where they need to.

ever drivin a bike or bicycle? thats how its work. its called physics.

i grew up on a dirtbike and i have never had the front end do what it does on this game bike looks great but game it self needs a lot of work

are you flipping over? ease up on the gas try feathering it lightly, i found that made a hell of a diffrence for my control of the bike in this game, maybe play with how responsive your controls are too?

what do you think i am a first grader. i know how physics work

I've been messing with this lately and realised inverting all the controls is good, and stops your midair steering from being inverted. I tried scouring online and I can't find anyone else talking about this

okay but are we gonna talk about the death wobble while your riding at 5 mph or that the bike just slides and flips randomly?
the game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and devs need to address the issues we have had from day one
