TO DO
---------
aston - HIGH PRIORITY, POOR TRACTION, POOR STEERING, POOR ENGINE
miura - HIGH PRIORITY, POOR TRACTION, POOR ENGINE POWER, POOR STEERING
veyron - INCREASE TRACTION SLIGHTLY

OTHER ISSUES
---------
* Police Charger leans to one side (model glitch with weight)
* ATV - beyond repair but I'll try to fix it anyway (probably by using Caterham script and adjusting height/wheels/engine power)

Got a grievance with how a vehicle handles? Post it here (videos explaining the issue would be great).

[Scratchie]

This is JUST handling issues. Seating issues is the other thread. Any other issues please make a new bug report

The Police Charger's new script is VERY unrealistic. Its acceleration is very high and the handling is ridiculous. Not sure how else to explain it.

[garry :D]

how shall I remedy this situation my dear vizion

Well, the acceleration and handling at mid-high speed should be toned down. Also, the Shelby sounds don't fit much and is too loud to be a cop car.

See: http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=24661.0

[garry :D]

The acceleration should be easy enough to fix by adjusting gear ratios and toning down the horsepower.

Unfortunately there is a glitch with the model itself where the centre of mass defined by the game engine is not what it would be in real life. The only fix for this issue would be to use a new model for the car.

I'll change the sounds back as well.

[Statua]

Can you take a look at the shelby? It has a tendancy to spin out if you do anything to the throttle while turning >30mph. Also the acceleration of it is wimpy considering its a muscle car.

Also, crap-head said he would increase the max speed of the ambulance bt never did. 45mph is rediulously slow for an emergency vehicle of moderate size. Its not a truck or a diesel. It should have good acceleration and speed. If you want to know, irl ambulances for the most part are on van chassis with some work done to the engine to handle speed and a massive gas tank which holds upwards of 200L.

[fergfin]

Yeah Statua is right with the Ambulance being too slow.

A slight increase in speed for the Fire Truck would also do some good as it only goes around 30km per hour. Civilian cars overtake me while I'm "rushing" to a fire.

the max the fire truck should be going is 55mph. currently it hits bout 45-46 mph.

[Statua]

Ambulances should be at least 60mph. The script tht sickness has for it is perfect.

[garry :D]

Changelog now reflects the changes that will be implemented in the upcoming update.

[Nacho Libre]

Idk if there was a complaint but the cop charged so slippery.. You had it right once it went 100 and has amazing speed then within a couple updates it started to go bad again

The Ferrari 250 GT easily spins out :/

You have to turn at low speed, and if you press W to fast, it just spins out :s

A lot of cars are like this.
The BMW M5 and the ATV are two examples I can think of off the top of my head.

Fix? Use OCRP 1.5 scripts OR get rid of the mechanic which causes cars to spin out, its annoying. And instead add things like drifting, it is possible and was achieved in OCRP 1.5.
