Arcade-Realism Handling V1.0.4a

Note: As I tune cars using a controller, this mod works best when having finer controls like a controller or wheel, rather than using the keyboard.

KOWN ISSUE: There is a strange bug with the Freight Trailer. It shares its handling settings with the Army Trailer and the Freight Trailer with the Cutter on top, but it just will not hitch to a truck, even though the others do. This causes the “off shore” path of the Merryweather Heist to fail once the truck with the sub arrives at the Sandy Shores Airport.
I’ve been unable to fix this (so far). It’s NOT an issue with the Packer, as other vehicles won’t hitch either. Issue found by dceve

I’ve worked for over 1,200 hours on modifying every single land vehicle in GTA V, including DLC vehicles. I’m trying to find a nice balance between more realistic vehicle behaviour, and a fun/arcade style of driving. I sincerely hope you find this mod enjoyable.

– Pretty much every changeable value has been edited. Mass, top speeds, acceleration, grip, suspension, drag and downforce, …
– Vehicles have slightly less grip and breaking force, but still enough to be fun to drive.
– Completely reworked the suspension. When upgrading suspension, most cars will receive stiffer springs and more traction.
– Crashes and accidents cause a bit more damage. If you don’t like this, I recommend you buy armour for your vehicle.
– Vehicles have a better sense of weight to them.
– Removed ABS from older cars. Later vehicles from around the ’90s have it as an option (Get in a Blista Compact and find out!).
– Cars like the Adder can reach 400 plus km/h, similar to their real life counterparts. In fact, all cars have speeds closer to their real-life counter parts.
– Some more advanced vehicle settings that were only possible after later GTA updates have been applied to vehicles from before those updates.
– So much more… I even added some hidden features in there. (Let me know if you think you’ve found one!)

INSTALLATION:

Use OpenIV to replace the handling.meta file in mods/update/update.rpf/common/data folder. Make a back-up if you want to.

Since all vehicle files are in one file, GTA V can crash loading in so many vehicles. To easily fix this, I recommend using Delapidated’s config file mod, and the three others he suggested:
– gameconfig xml
– heapadjuster
– packfile limit adjuster
– cweaponinfoblob limit adjuster
