Better Towing (Work in SP/MP 41.71+)

Towing is buggy in Multiplayer
So I tow a lot of vehicles and I know that the original towing in this game is wonky, but sometimes works. Sometimes even though I am driving something that has more power to overcome the weight of the vehicle I am towing, the whole vehicle won't move. I tried this mod and although it SOMETIMES works, the game just flung 2 different sets of vehicles off the map. Anytime I log off and no one is in the area of the vehicles, if a vehicle was hooked up to another, and you try driving off and even though the towed vehicle doesn't move, the server and game still thinks they are hooked up. So when you exit the vehicle you are driving, it FLYS back to what ever you were hooked up to originally, or in the trees somewhere. Even wiht thisu mod, it's still very much a pain to tow anything because you are likely to lose your vehicle and whatever you are towing due to the persistance of the game making it looked like you aren't hooked up, but somewhere in the coding, you are.

I have also experienced this, do you know what causes it?

towing is completely broken on my server since 41.66 dropped. i dont know if this mod is adding to the issue or not, but even on the last version (within the last week) towing stopped working properly.

did some testing, vanilla towing is working but when i use this mod, towing is completely borked :(

The mod is not working for 41.66
It used to fix the issues with trailers being loose and also with the bugged physic, but now with the mod trying to carry or tow something in vehicles seems like we trying to carry a rock

Waiting for the fix

Thanks, uninstalling this mod until its fixed.
Weird, the title says "Better Towing (41.66)" so like... I thought it was updated and working.

I don't know what the issue is but I know overall, towing in the game is a bit janky. I have a truck that has 450hp and weighs about 1300 units. I can't tow something that weighs more than my truck even though there is enough power to move it. But somehow, a vehicle that has less horsepower but more weight can move a truck *barely*.

Дядь с обновлением 41.66 мягкая сцепка не работает, обнови ПЖ. А прицепы стоят намертво приклеены к земле.

Is it safe to remove this mod from a server without restarting? Just started my first server and I didn't realize this didn't work.

Is this still broken?

From what I have seen, yes this mod is still broken for MP at least. I don't use this mod anymore. I lost some really good cars from it.

Видемо мод сдох. Только в старых версиях работает, печалька...
Apparently the mod is dead. It only works in older versions, sad...
