@chang63 Alright, will do!

@chang63 I'm sorry for the late reply, I have to admit I don't really play video games much right now. However, I did play around a few hours last week with your handling - I gotta say, I love it! Hands down, it feels like a great mix between realism and GTA V's arcadey gameplay. I've only tried a fraction of vehicles, with only your handling.meta and materials.dat edits installed, though.
I will get back to you after playing around a little bit more!

@chang63 Awesome, I'm going to play around a little bit with your edits.

@chang63 Do you promise not to mess with fSuspensionRaise this time? Please!

@chang63 Great to hear you're back at it!

Sounds great @Eddlm
One question: Is it gonna be keyboard friendly or do we need a controller to actually enjoy driving? I'm taking about a decreased turn radius, massively less auto brake and so on.

I'm quite confident someone will convert the van in the near future actually. @Dani02 converted most of GCT's work to V so you might wanna ask him specifically about your request.

So happy this is still alive!
What you've showcased so far looks damn promising. I'm sure this will turn out amazing one day.

@Unknown-Modder I don't know what the exact parameter is. Both Realistic Driving and especially @OrangeAgent's Vehicle handling for keyboard reduces auto braking to a basically perfect level. According to him, these are the parameters he edited:

<fHandBrakeForce value="0.250000" />
<fSteeringLock value="17.000000" />
<strHandlingFlags>00500</strHandlingFlags>
<fInitialDriveForce value="0.140000" />

I suppose the auto braking is either defined by fInitalDriveForce or by the handling flags, though I got no idea how those are determined.

Edit: I just did some testing & figured out the auto braking is determined by strHandlingFlags.
I used Realistic Driving V's Bobcat XL <strHandlingFlags>820100</strHandlingFlags> and pasted it into the handling.meta of Dani02's Vapid Coyote.
The time the cars needed to come to a stop upon releasing the gas pedal are now pretty much the same - around 11s with 30 MPH - compared to the initial 3s with the Coyote's <strHandlingFlags> set to 0.

Hi there,
I'd like to request a script that reduces R*'s auto braking to a more realistic level when releasing the gas pedal. As of now, this is my biggest issue with a lot of handling lines of a wide variety of custom cars. It would be awesome to have a script that works universally for all handling lines.
