Would it be possible to add support for return rollers?
Edit: also I realised you cannot use E2s as baseplates, I tend to do this when building tanks for baikonur, to save on a prop.

Most tanks are quite noisy, wouldn't you agree? Do you think you can integrate some kind of track sound feature to add to that aquired noise? I used to do this with my chip but I think it would be better if it were a part of the Track Tool.

an option for changing the radius of a idler, drive, or just all roadwheels, as many non sprops wheels seem to just get assigned some default radius or something that is much smaller than the actual wheel diameter

Can you show me a screenshot of that happening?

Edit the code or make a second tool for making a ww1 style track such as this >>> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/British_Mark_IV_Tadpole_tank.jpg

can you make it so you can change the quality of the textures without changing game settings? is it possible?

not really, but why?

Will you add more track textures in the future?

I find it annoying when the wheels I put down end up being perpendicular to the chassis prop. Will there be a way to allow rotating the green arrow?

unlikely, but you could always just select a different prop when selecting the "chassis", it doesn't necessarily have to be the actual chassis

would it be possible to add a section in the next revision where you can choose which plane of axis the treads will respond to movement with? Ive noticed some wheels dont work well with the track tool for this reason, and you are currently limtied to pick only a certain set of wheels that will work with the tool, which is still pretty large selection though as most will work fine so its not really a big deal but can be annoying if you are trying to build a themed vehicle with some specific wheels that have funky XYZ planes in em

I think you should contact simfphys and SCars tank addon creators and see if they're interested in using this script to model tank suspension. As of right now, no Simfphys tanks exist for this reason. The closest thing is a wheeled APC. SCars have tanks, but the wheels do all of the work. The track models are non-collision and only exist for aesthetic purposes.

I would like to see the track width have a higher max than 64. I think 150 is where i need it for my project. Also the radius minimum is -2 which is still a great distance from the surface of my wheels. I'm using pretty big wheels. My wheels are "models/sprops/misc/tubes/size_5/tube_96x144.mdl" With a Make Spherical radius of 52
