Description
KilRoY66's Low Speed Brake Mod

If you like please give +1

I created this modification for myself to help with the problem of excessive brake power at VERY low speeds (under 10Kmh).

From this I have made some more minor changes in the physics of driving.
But I don't claim that this mod is something resembling reality or that increases the reality of the game or produced with the help of official data because what a modder can acheive in this area is very limited by game engine and the lack of info about important parameters ....

This changes haven't been made to make gameplay easier or harder, and the best way to understand if you need it is to try.
Changes are so limited that you need to drive to feel if it help also you.


You can activate and deactivate this mod without any issue or problem in game(no errors, no warnings no CTD).
To be sure to use it, please put it at the highest priority because many other mods use some of the value I changed


ATTENTION: if you use any mod that involve changes in physics.sii, you have to put this at highest priority (on top of game mod manager) to use it

----------------------------------

VVAA changes
---------------------------------------------

  • Global AI patience modifier (range -1 to +1) - influences 'patience factor' for all AI vehicles increased from 0.0 to 0.3
  • How much an individual driver leaning to compensate the centrifugal acceleration increased from 1.0 to 1.2
  • Driver model pitch forward limit in degrees increased from 40 to 45
  • Driver model pitch backward limit in degrees increased from 10 to 20

ATTENTION: if you use any mod that involve changes in physics.sii, you have to put this at highest priority (on top of game mod manager) to use it
