Noob's ProStreet Handling Overhaul

Noob's ProStreet Handling Overhaul changes the unnecessarily sluggish and awkward feeling of the original handling. It's an alternate take on the ProStreet's handling with elements from past NFS games and other racing games, combined with many fixes and adjustments.

You can get detailed info about 2.1 update at the ModDb article!

Note: If you're updating this mod, use a fresh copy or restore backups via VltEd for the intended
experience. Since the modifications are really deep, It's hard to make a proper updater, sorry for
inconvenience.

[Handling changes]:
-Faster and more precise steering
-No snap oversteer at high speeds
-Engine braking slows down the car more
-Counter steering is more effective
-Improved FWD behavior
-Roads are %10 grippier
-Removed every assist from king level except the ABS
-Improved collision momentum between cars

[Fixes]:
-Fixed the useless forced induction upgrades for classic muscle cars
-Fixed the classic muscle car gear ratios (mostly)
-Fixed many of the bouncy cars on speed challenge
-Fixed many of the broken upgrades (Tires, power, ect.)
-Fixed the absurd handling of Koenigsegg CCX and McLaren F1
-Fixed the cam timing tuning (By JammyGamer)
-Fixed the Mclaren F1 sound problem (optional)

[Optional adjustments]:
-2x faster shift speed for all cars (optional)
-Increased AI and drift difficulty (optional)
-Removable top speed limiter (optional)
-Nitrous for DBR9 and Veyron (optional)
-FWD/AWD cars for drift mode (optional)
-Equal drift multipliers for all cars (optional)
-Hardcore damage (optional)

[Installation]:
1-) Get the NFS VltEd from Here
2-) Open the program, at the upper left, click "file" and "open" then select the ProStreet's game installation folder.
3-) At the upper left, click the "import" and "import script" button. And select the installer that came with the mod, install it and save.

[Mod support, OGVI and game compatibility]:
-It may conflict with mods that adjusts the handling of the cars.
-R4BBIT's AI Overhaul works with this mod, install that first then the handling overhaul.
(A compatibility script is in "for_nerds" folder to reduce conflicts, install it before the handling.)
-This mod works with OGVI, but it's not fully tuned or tested with it.
-This mod is only tested at version 1.1, compatibility is not guaranteed with version 1.0 of the game.

@senpaidarken Anything that isn't a handling modification or a fix is an optional thing that you can avoid.

Additional content supplements this mod in various ways. It provides these to avoid making players scavenge random stuff to provide a coherent and convenient package.

at this point, this "handling overhaul" mod became as bloated as the very other handling overhaul mod from 2021 lmao (it's removed from nfsmods so here's nfsaddons link to that mod)

i think you should call this mod something like "nfsps definitive edition" or something since it isn't just about handling anymore

also i found that in challenge day drag races, the ai has an unfair power advantage on extreme but runs about 2 seconds slower than the player on hard
