Noob's ProStreet Handling Overhaul

Noob's ProStreet Handling Overhaul is came to life with one goal in mind. Changing 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, combined with many fixes and adjustments.

You can look at all of the updates at the ModDb articles page!
Important: If you're upgrading from version 1, use a fresh copy or restore backups via VLtEd for the intended experience.

-No snap oversteer at high speeds
-Roads are %10 grippier

-Improved collisions between cars

[Fixes]:
-Fixed the classic muscle car gear ratios
-Fixed many of the bouncy cars on speed challenge
-Fixed the absurd handling of Koenigsegg CCX and McLaren F1
-Fixed the cam timing tuning (By JammyGamer)
-Fixed the McLaren F1 sound problem (optional)

[Mod support, OGVI and game compatibility]:
It may conflict with mods that adjusts the handling of the cars. But feel free to try with mods.

@Lice23 Looks like S13's stock suspension is too soft and that's making it lift at curbs when taking corners aggresivelly

I'm having a couple issues with the S13 at the start of the game. Granted, I did start this save before installing this mod, but I only did the very first race, not sure if that makes a difference. I couldn't stiffen up the suspension at all otherwise the car would flip when turning at high speeds, even with aero on. Is it something on my end that's causing this issue or has anybody else also had this problem?

@ZZZ I tried OGVI today, looks like it uses the same variables as VltEd, even the installer works fine. I didn't tested an OGVI installation but it looks like it should work with it. Unless i'm missing something.

@NoobSolid26 Glad to know that, I'll be trying the mod on a fresh install as you can't use vlted after using OGVI but I'm loving the idea and the added documentation explaining the changes and the reasoning behind it are great and quite rare in the NFS modding scene.
