Car Mechanics Update

Spent a bit more time in tweeking the car mechanics to get it closer to what I want it to handle like. Despite being happy with the handling of the dune buddy, there are still several problems with it. The major problem that is with the dune buggy is that it does not drive in a straight line, and instead veers of slightly to the right. I havev spent a lot of time looking into this problem, such as adjusting the wheel colliders, looking at the script, re-importing the models and also posting on the unity forums for assistance, but still can't seem to get it working correctly.

Another problem that is evident in the dune buggy is the camera. Despite the camera following the car, it has moments when the vue flickers from the back view to the side view of the car. I believe the problem may lie with the camera trouble I encountered earlier, with the camera facing the side of the car and not the back. Again, I have looked at the script and cannot find where the problem lies. If perhaps may be easier to fix if it didn't occur at random moments in the game, leaving me unable to find the source that triggers the problem.

However, I cannot spend much more time on the driving mechanics as I need to make a start on other parts of the game in order to keep a scedule. If there is any time at the end of the debugging then I would like to go back and address this problem.
