Re: Cornering velocity bug fix

Hi David

I reviewed the suggested change, but I think it is wrong (I think the 
original code is right).

Simply assume a "1-d car" (a simple line from top), with one corner at 
(x,y) as (1,0) and an angular velocity around the z-Axis := vz.

So the speed of the corner relative to the rotation center is in y 
direction r*vz, where r=x=1. I cannot see a flaw in this.

With your change you would get a movement in x direction although the 
radius in y direction is 0, that does not make any sense to me.

Other thoughts, other opinions?

Kind regards

Bernhard
