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.

A new big update has been released! Check out the ModDb article for more in depth info!

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

-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

[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.
-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.

@PhanTimo01 AI is honestly too random in this game, sometimes they are overcompetent and sometimes they are incompetent. You can try increasing the AI difficulty from mod options, or use R4BBITG4MING's AI overhaul.

I really like this mod but to be honest, I feel it makes the game too easy. I am not sure if the AI are also affected by this mod because they still seem sluggish.

Basically it's like the cars are weighed down. It is noticeable for grip races but very evident in top speed challenges. You can reach high speeds but you can't maintain it like in vanilla.

@BIRDO Can you elaborate what do you mean by the "top speed" problem? I do know that cars get whacky at high speeds, which I will completely fix in the newer versions. But I work on this mod alone, so it will take a while.

Eheh yeah it was fun at the beginning tho. After playing with this mod for a while i have a piece of feedback for you. The famous top speed problem that come with almost every overhaul is also here even tho i have to admit is way better compared to the others. I don't know exactly what cause this but if you could fix this i would be happy :P. Maybe it has to do with weight? Or the added downforce?
