Pegasus_ Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 Date and time (provide timezone): 29/JUL/2023 0615 UTC Character name: Martin James Issue/bug you are reporting: Using a personal car jack is really tricky. 9 out of 10 times I can get the vehicle lifted by the jack and dismantle it, but when moving the vehicle to lift and dismantle the second side it keeps saying to position the vehicle properly, despite the vehicle being placed the exact same way as it was for the first side. Expected behavior: When a vehicle is placed reasonably on top of the car jack, it should be able to be lifted without having to continuously microadjust the vehicle. Evidence, notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: First link is to a set of pictures showing the vehicle with its right side being over the jack and then lifted without problems. Second link is to a set of pictures showing how the vehicle is placed identically to the first, but not being able to be lifted. Video shows how much microadjusting I did, but without getting it to work. https://imgur.com/a/kyaOX2g https://imgur.com/a/aao5bhX https://youtu.be/gFgvZ8Q32F8 Vehicle license plate number*: It is not specific to any one vehicle, it happens to more or less any vehicle.

Ash Posted July 30, 2023 Report Share Posted July 30, 2023 I had this issue then I was told that if you just place it on the ground without rotating it, it works flawlessly. So i've had great success just flooring it with P then driving the car into the desired position and it's much much easier than trying to adjust your jack to fit the car position. With my own experimenting, it seems that if you have to rotate the jack, that's when it gets a bit fucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus_ Posted August 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2023 For some reason, that does seem to have been the issue, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homast Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I can confirm positioning the car around the jack, and not the jack around the car, is what worked for me. Rotating the Jack only seems to break it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOwl Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) Just wedge the jack under the car further and try not to touch the car or handle with your character model when you try to raise it. If it's still bugging on you just place the removed tires on a plane that's slightly elevated to even the height of the car back out. Rotating the jack has never given me an issue. It's only once the first set of wheels have been removed I find. Edited September 6, 2023 by TheOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus_ Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I tried doing as Ash said and just place the jack on the ground without moving or rotating it, other than placing it on the ground. I haven't experienced any issues at all since doing that the last few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
