Tk's Real Vehicle Acceleration 3

Want to see REAL horsepower values with the vehicles in this game? Find towing to be a bit immersion breaking? Tired of trying to find that "sweet spot" while towing? Wish the vehicles behaved different from each other? Well look no further, as this mod is likely for you!

Requires manual installation of some files (see discussion for details)

• Vehicle horsepower based on more realistic values
  
• 0-60MPH times are based on realistic values, this means the vehicles for the most part will be a bit slower than their vanilla counterparts, and in some cases bit faster than Real cars
  
• Truly varied vehicles, with different early, mid range, and late acceleration.
  
• Improved towing characteristics based on engine specs, and lua file variables (see Towing below)
  
• Custom Engine profiles and Torque curves for EVERY vehicle though the use of Lua variables. (see modding discussion for more details)
  
• Custom Gear Ratio sets for EVERY vehicle though the use of Lua variables. (see modding discussion for more details)
  
• More intelligent Automatic transmissions, which can detect when the vehicle is off-road or towing, and alter shift points to optimize for those conditions.
  
• Altered handling characteristics to create more unique vehicles

When setting up your game (multiplayer,server or solo), its best to set the speed limit for the server from 120 to 150. Any number less than those values will result in the vehicles being much faster than intended.

Main compatibility has been divided into sub mods, this will mean that you need to enable each sub mod you wish to use, this counts for both multiplayer and single-player! These sub-mods are optional, however for each one you use, the original mods are required, and they are all strongly recommended to use with this mod (or in general actually).

Additionaly all vehicles have had their durability increased, this is to compensate for the fact they are a bit slower, and to add better compatibility with mods that use higher durability numbers for improved immersion, this part of the mod is WIP.

Make sure that TksRealVehicleAcceleration3 and sub mods load after all other vehicle mods you are using. If you add a mod to your server after this one, just make sure you alter the load order, so the newly added mod comes before this mod. (see Load Order in discussions for further details)

• The mod requires modified Lua files in order to be fully compatible. Non compatible vehicles may behave differently from the included vehicles, and wont utilise all the features of this mod.

This mod requires manual installation steps AND the Better Car Physics mod by Neidmare. The mod will not work correctly without manual installation, and Better Car Physics. (see installation instructions in discussions)

Huge thanks to Better Car Physics and Neidmare for their efforts in creating that mod!!!

Another Huge thanks to fhqwhgads, FR's Used Cars, 1993 American Lore pack, Extra Noise, KI5, and every other modder for their amazing work! Their work is inspirational and has made a great game, even better.

• More varied, closer to realistic engine types, resulting in varied vehicle towing capabilities for improved immersion
  
• Trucks, SUVS, Semi Trucks, Vans, and similar vehicles will generally be stronger towing vehicles
  
• Sports cars, or performance oriented vehicles will have less towing capability
  
• Improved Automatic transmission shift points while towing to maintain peak torque **new feature, may need improving**
  
• Custom Towing can be modified for each vehicle using the towing efficiency variable found in the lua file. (see modding discussion for more details)

There are some manual installation steps required for this mod, please see the discussion post titled: Installation for details.

• For server games, the mod can be installed on both the client and the server, or just clients. (read furter for details)
  
• if the server does not have the mod installed, the mod will only work for client with the code installed
  
• in multiplayer hosted games, player may experience different vehicle performance, if this occurs make sure each player has the mod properly installed.
  
• If a client game crashes, that means the server has the correct code installed and the client does not.

• **IMPORTANT UPDATE: as of 11/12/2024 an issue was found where towing a trailer would cause a vehicle to accelerate at a greater rate than expected. This issue has been resolved, however it did require a code update, and will require a reinstall to correct.
  
• **IMPORTANT UPDATE: as of 12/18/2024 an issue was discovered for those not using tktuners that would cause vehicles to have no power. Hopefully as of this code update this issue has been resolved. The fix will require a reinstall for those experiencing the issues. If you use TksTuners DO NOT reinstall.

• Paranoid and afraid for compatibility contributions for TKRVA2
  
• Neidmare for the base code included with Better Car Physics, and thier continual advice!
  
• Banana Terror for their persistent and diligent error reports
  
• Titto Hokkaido for the continued support and assistance with creating the FRU animation compatibility
