Yes you do.

btw, my solution to fixing my problem was to manually go into the game's created directory and remove the copied files that relate to the mod. So I had to go into /SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/ProjectZomboid/projectzomboid/media/lua/client/BetterCarPhysics/ and remove the directory.

I have a question, AFTER you copy the file into project zomboid file, IT ASK.

1. Replace the files in the destrination
2. Skip these files
3. Let me decide for each file

do i replace??

I'm unable to uninstall this mod, I've looked everywhere for it, and did it's installation guide, but it does not want to get off. I'm using native build on Linux btw.

God-tier mod. Could you add more controls options? I think it would be neat to at least be able to switch to gear 1 with right arrow key just like you can switch to reverse with left one.

Also, does your mod affect fuel consumption, even if indirectly? I thought I noticed a big decrease in the distance I can travel on a single tank, to the point I decreased fuel consumption to 0.75.

Had to split the comment. The beginning of it is below :)

My question is: Is there a way to edit gear ratios? As far as I understood - those numbers in vehicle file are garbage. Maybe add a custom RPM type for modded heavy vehicles with much shorter gears. A bus, or an APC shouldn't do 50mph at 1st gear, they'd go 20 top, but with lots of torque.

I tried editing some of the most misbehaving modded vehicles to try and fix skyrocket acceleration. While lowering engine HP does help with the acceleration it damages max speed of these vehicles quite significantly. Not a big deal, cause with this mod all vehicles are just faster overall, but there is a pattern - all of these troublesome vehicles have one thing in common: RPM type "van". Problems that I wasn't able to fix with just HP are:
- 1st gear goes from 0 to 50mph, no matter what HP you have. If engine power is too low and max speed will be below 50, then 1st gear is the only usable gear.
- 4th gear is useless, unless the vehicle runs like a sportcar and gets to 120mph at the end (250+ hp at 1100 weight), 4th gear just can't go past what 3rd got you to. [tbc]

can i drift cars?

@Neidmare
Gears in Vanilla do work. That's why I went to search for a gearshift mod today. I don't think anyone would notice that on the road, but offroad vanilla gears do work, and automatic transmission becomes a problem :)
I had to set CC to 20mph, even thougt the vehicle is capable of going 25+, because it shifts to 2nd and starting to lose power and slows down. If you manage to get offroad while on 3rd gear it's even more obvious.

Anyway, it's a bit offtopic. Gotcha - no manual gearbox without patch. I'll try to live with excess power for now.

@I.C.E. Manual gearbox and the physics go hand in hand. You cant have one without the other. The gears in vanilla dont really do anything.

You could try lowering the engine power in the ki5 mod files yourself.
