Motor Torque faster on smaller devices

I am using the following method to apply torque to a wheel:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(joystick.tapCount>0){
2.     backRight.motorTorque =25000*1.0f*Time.deltaTime;
3. }

This is called in the Update() method.

This works fine on my 1920x1200 tablet and also on a friends 1920x1080 tablet. However on another friends 800x480 phone the car moves far too fast. The same happens on his friends 1280x800 tablet.

Anyone know why the resolution could be affecting this?

 

Spider-sense tells me the problem is just outside the lines of code we see here. Can we get a little more context?

 

Sure thing. I think this is all of the relevant code.

Code (CSharp):

1. private Joystick joySteer;
2. private Joystick joyGas;
3. private Joystick joyBrake;
4.  
5. void Update () {
6.     int brakeAxis = joyBrake.tapCount;
7.     if (brakeAxis != 0) {
8.  
9.         if (speed > 0.01f || speed < -0.01f) {
10.             DesiredRPM = IdleRPM;
11.            
12.             backRight.motorTorque = 0.0f;        
13.             backLeft.motorTorque = 0.0f;                
14.             frontLeft.motorTorque = 0.0f;
15.            
16.             backRight.brakeTorque = 0.5f;
17.             backLeft.brakeTorque = 0.5f;
18.             frontLeft.brakeTorque = 0.5f;
19.         } else {
20.             backRight.motorTorque = 25000 * -1.0f * Time.deltaTime;        
21.             backLeft.motorTorque = 25000 * -1.0f * Time.deltaTime;                
22.             frontLeft.motorTorque = 25000 * -1.0f * Time.deltaTime;
23.            
24.             backRight.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
25.             backLeft.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
26.             frontLeft.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
27.         }
28.  
29.     } else {
30.  
31.         backRight.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
32.         backLeft.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
33.         frontLeft.brakeTorque = 0.0f;
34.  
35.         float gasAxis = joyGas.tapCount;
36.         if (gasAxis > 0) {
37.  
38.             backRight.motorTorque = 25000 * 1.0f * Time.deltaTime;        
39.             backLeft.motorTorque = 25000 * 1.0f * Time.deltaTime;                
40.             frontLeft.motorTorque = 25000 * 1.0f * Time.deltaTime;
41.  
42.         } else {
43.             backRight.motorTorque = 0.0f;        
44.             backLeft.motorTorque = 0.0f;                
45.             frontLeft.motorTorque = 0.0f;
46.         }
47.     }
48. }

 

spider senses tell me you should apply physics in FixedUpdate rather than Update.
