How to set braking correctly? I set "Tb" to 100, does not working. More, what is "thb"?

Well thats a bit tricky.Just like u said, Thb has no effect as I first saw, and is not
even in the description.
SA had brake force, bais and abs.So my first shot was its abs(which would be great)
but does inpact the hand brake, hence the name , ... dooh.
So the wheels lock up easily which sucks if you'r playing with digital control.
Only way is to set "m_fTractionCurveMin" (Wc-) higher.But that changes also
acceleration grip.

btw. I think 1.0 is the max value for "braking force".

It's coming, and I think it's gonna be sweet.
Probably not the most respected tool, since "handling.dat" is one of the easiest things to mod in GTA.
Nevertheless, it will have sweet features and should be a relief for less experienced users. For example it will have options saying "Make (All) Vehicle(s) ...% faster/slower", "Make immune" and "Make Drifter".
Ultimately it should have sliders, which will automatically modify multiple values, based on their initial balance, plus easy checkbox-style display for model/handling flags.

For whoever wants to know, I have chosen AutoIt as the language to build the tool. This because it's VERY easy to do nearly everything you want in Windows. So yeh, it will probably stay a Windows-only application, though there will also be an x64 version.
In it's current stage it doesn't have editing or saving capabilities yet, just data parsing, display etc.

@vend3r

• That's also how I have created my immune vehicle, I don't understand why people say that it's impossible while they haven't even tried it.
  I've heard that it's not 100% though, it can still take damage from rockets and grenades, I haven't tested this yet.
• I haven't thought about the vehicle edit only method, sounds like fun though

[C] fDragMult: Drag. Lower is less drag, so better speeds. Try 0.1
[Tf] m_fDriveForce: Acceleration power. Try (Default x 3)

I have such values on a VERY heavy vehicle though, so watch it

nevermind. got it to work now after using the modded filelist.pak. car is fukcing crazy

Could you explain what you did, cause my edits dont work

[ToxicNinjaX]

If this gets pinned i'll update all the attributes

[0ne]

I made a handling editor:

GTA IV HANDLING EDITOR V1.0
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=385566

It includes a Backup\Bypass tool so your modifications will work in game.

I didn't add any descriptions to the values yet... but will in the future.

[FunGt]

Good tutorial. If you know how to replace the unknown values tell me.

[link626]

i want to make a car handle like it's on rails.

perfect turns without sliding.

can anyone do that?

[Dweirdo]

nice, i really appreciate ppl who try to help the noobz.

[hazeyo]

i was messing around with the suspension for the cars and these are my findings for ride height and the upper and lower limits

(Su) m_fSuspensionUpperLimit: maximum upper limit that the suspension will travel in relation to the height of the car
(Sl) m_fSuspensionLowerLimit: maximum lower limit the suspension will travel in relation to the height of the car
(Sr) m_fSuspensionRaise: actual height of the car (0.0 is default height)

and from my findings i have come to believe the multiplyer is set in centimeters (ie a SU of .10 would allow the suspention to tavel about 3 and half inches up from is orginal right height, and SL of -0.15 would allow for about 6 inches of travel down from the cars original ride height, so that would give the car about 10-11 inches of total suspension travel) i like the way R* did this it makes it much easier to adjust right heights and suspension travel for when we start importing cars


i hope my finding can help out some how

I basically followed this link :
GTA IV IRL Handling Mod

Then did some very small modifications :



It handles quite nicely, has *amazing speed & acceleration*, and has a few problems with small bumps at high speed

[Gizza]

What do i need to change in order to stop my cars from flipping over when turning a corner etc....

kinda annoying driving and rolling 6 or 7 times and cant get it over cause its so heavy :S

cheers

You have to increase Z center of mass to stop the car flip.
