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.

Really enjoying how much more responsive the cars feel, ESPECIALLY with drifting since stuff like feint entries are actually possible now (it makes the more precise courses like Tokyo A and Ebisu Touge more tolerable). I do, however, notice some issues with Speed Challenges. First, the cars seem to all bottom out constantly for some reason, even when raising the ride height up. Second, I noticed the AI is far more prone to wrecking itself in speed challenges.

@Udana007 Yes have a discord, my nickname is the same. I noticed that the some cars may gain extra steering at top soeed for some reason. This can happen on grip mode too. For the speed challenge, i'll reduce the steering of more twitchy ones. But i can't make it too slow since you need to be able to make sudden adjustments at some point.

do you have discord? its better to communicate there instead of here
oh and i drove the speed cars you updated (porsche 997 turbo) and the sudden-jolt of steering when making smooth steering adjustments is still there, it happens when you go above 360kph-ish

good job with the drift physics, much better than before
i guess its just other speed car's physics that need a rework now

@Udana007 Thanks for the feedback, since i designed this mod to be easily modifiable, it's pretty fast to make adjustments to. Yeah i think i might have gone a bit overboard on steering on some cars for responsiveness sake. I'll make adjustments to them.

About drift mode, i wanted to make cars a slide a bit more and get rid of the "on a rail" feeling. Cars doesn't really slide off if you slow down, but i might need to reduce the sliding effect a bit at the next updates.
