Slidey Handling + Drift handling






small mod that makes front wheels slightly grippier and rear wheels slightly less grippy
Ive always been annoyed a bit by most wanted's handling, from hot pursuit 2 onwards it always felt way more boring game by game and pretty quickly lost the fun slideiness of that game by most wanted
so heres my attempt to fix that while still keeping it playable just a little more exciting

video trying to show the handling (still better to try it yourself and the version there is outdated)

carbon version

UPDATED VERSION NOW UPLOADED STANDALONE!
car handling is now much more varied per car, some drift more, some less, some are harder to control some easier. but generally everything feels better
also the m3 gtr should be much better, it was a bit weird before i think

ANOTHER UPDATE,
added a alternative super drift version, makes the cars much driftier than the normal version. not very good for normal gameplay
but probably perfect for people who just want to drift.
(i also accidentaly made the traffic drifty, id fix it but its way too funny to not keep so its included)
i also added a python tool i use to edit the tire values in bulk, might be helpful for some, maybe, so why not

NOW ADDED "UNINSTALLER"
its really just the original script edited to be roughly similar to vanilla values, should be fine enough for most
admittedly i also didnt really test it much so it might have some funky consequences
added because of youtube comments xoxo

The mod is this one: https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/6305
It buffs the stats of each car to bring their MW performance back.

*Does this mod, ffs my writing

And hey, since you're working with Carbon now, I recommend you to check out a mod that changes the cars' performance to the Most Wanted ones. This way you could make your mod (or at least a version of it) not too dissimilar to this one, since the cars have the same stats from one game to another once the mod is applied. But I'll leave the choices to you. Say, does this also count for addon cars?

yeah, that was pretty much the last game with that, honestly most wanted wouldve been so much better if ug2's oversteer was kept, it was neat
