Handling Mod

[sauhan77]

Hi there,
does anybody have a good handling mod? especially for increasing brake and turn strength while drviing at higher speed...
the vanilla driving is still very poor...

[sauhan77]

since there is now a working method for asi mods you can use this mod again:
https://gta4-mods.com/gta-v-handling-for-iv-1-4-f24350.html

it's by far the best and very easy customizable mod for driving... used it on my last playthrough.
I combined it with the handling files from this mod:
https://www.gtainside.com/gta4/mods/138642-rfzrh-rycefivez-realistic-handling/
... and I'm absolutely happy with the result :)

yes, the V handling lets you adjust braking & steering as you like, driving is now so much fun (again) :)

Good topic, I would love to see some great mod on handling. But I like floaty boaty cars, but I would love to see a better acceleration, top speeds and better drifts and less grip in corners..

Just installed it. Oh, thank Cthulhu I can actually TURN again. I do notice that I fly out of the window more often, though. 12 hours of playing, no flying through the windshield. 20 minutes with the mod, had it happen 3 times. Hmph.

probably because break strength is higher now? you can try lowering it or just don't break :)

I tried this md too but couldn't notice any real difference to vanilla...

After 30 minutes of awesomeness, now the game won't stop crashing on saves. Had to remove the mod. Grrrrrrrrr.

are you using any other asi files?
I didn't have any problems with the mod yet...
which asi-loader and scripthook version do you use? for me an old scripthook works

[sauhan77]

I fiddled around a bit and for me it's like this: all asi mods work as intended, but loading a save from ingame crashes every time. but this is not caused by "V-Handling" but by the asiloader/ scripthook. happens when no asi mod is acrive, too for me.
Can you try if it's the same for you when you delete the Handling asi?

For some reason I much prefer the driving in this compared to gta 5, just the physics in this game are better imo.

they're indeed, but at high speed it's nearly impossible to take turns and brake... and in the end this is a game, I want to have fn while driving ;)

It's called brake early.

Mind explaining what the 'working method' is? I cannot get it working, it crashes on start up for me.

use this plus ultimate Asiloader (I use version from 24.07.2019) and it should work. But I get a bug that I can't load any savegames (starting game from last save works fine though).
I tried V Handling, TrafficLoad, First Person and a Speedmeter, all work fine

oh, and just to be clear: V ahdnling doesn't alter the car physics, it just gives the possibility to increase brake and turn strength (and some tweaks like "tap to reverse" if wanted), so you still got the IV feeling, but the cars just feel "tighter".
