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video trying to show the handling (still better to try it yourself and the version there is outdated)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

If I'm not mistaken oversteering was a thing until UG2.

May both sides of your pillow forever be cold. I just started playing HP2 and realized how fun oversteering drift is. If you ever change your mind and update it, take your own time. Perfection should not be rushed. Not to be THAT guy but, could we get this in Carbon? I know we can acive drift physics through handbrake, but it's not the best thing to use in free roam - SPECIALLY with cops on your tail. Also, oversteering in that game is way too grippy, one pit-manuever and you're all over the place.
