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
-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.
-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.

@MisfotuneSeven Some of the AI drivers are better than others. If you selected AI difficulty increase while installing, that can make already tough AI drivers tougher.

I forgot to specify the AI Evo 9s having crazy performance is a Grip-specific thing.

@MisfortuneSeven Thanks for playing! Most cars on speed challenge has custom suspensions to make them more resilient against jumps. So that's probably what causing it, but it shouldn't cause problems. Evo is not tuned in grip but most cars are buffed in speed challenge. And i did modify some cars a lot so there might be some weird values here and there. DLC cars like F1, CCX and veyron are heavily modified.

Also imo performance bars in this game are whack, they don't really show the cars true power.

Oh, and I've noticed the Evo 9 might be overtuned? Ivan's Evo 9 seems to rocket off the line well ahead of every other vehicle even without my attempts at custom perf data.

I also wonder if it could be possible to fix some of the performance values because they seem a bit off. The E92 M3, for instance, has less stock power for some reason, and I've seen an AI Veyron (from R4BBIT's mod) run with a mere 620 or so bhp which is very strange.
