Drive V for GTA 5 - is the result of 5 years and over 2,000 hours of learning the physics system and testing in order to create a realistic and fun experience. Every vehicle is unique (even some variants that originally shared the same handling line) and has had careful attention to every single dynamic attribute. The most critical change I felt was needed was the Z-axis rotation, which is what made the vanilla cars feel so darty with every flick of the wheel.
Features Drive V:
- No more snapping onto curbs
- Vehicle cabin deformation enabled
- Level of deformation similar to IV
- More body roll
- Downforce disabled from all but supercars
- Scaled top speeds
- Re-worked off-road surfaces
- Lots of customized vehicles added to spawn points
- Lots of new colors based on real life counterparts
Changes in v7.4:
- Support for Safehouse in the Hills DLC.
- Realistic color palettes for new DLC vehicles.
- Fixed issue with traffic edits
Tested on game version v1.0.1013.17
