Strange physics bugs with a simple car model, PGS enabled

Bug Reports Engine Bugs

Hi. I was building a very very simple car model using default surface connection joints (e.g. stud → inlet) to try to go back to an older buildstyle, but I found a very strange physics issue with my car model. I have not edited the PhysicalProperties of any parts on my car.

Whenever I sit in the seat and hit W or S, the car drives forward with so much speed or force that it flips itself into the air.

I originally thought that it would be related to my R15 package since those have had recent issues with collision, but I found that this was not the case because my rig never hits any of the moving parts. I also tested this with an R6 rig and the issue was still present.

If you lower the Torque of the VehicleSeat or raise the weight (change the Density) of the car, then the problem goes away.

With the default weight, a Torque of 1 works fine.

I don’t think this is a bug. I remember vehicles flipping out in the past if the torque was too high, too. You could say it’s a bug because you don’t expect it to happen, but I don’t think it’s new behavior.
