GTA 4 & EFLC Realistic Handling & Physics mod

This is a handling mod for GTA 4 and EFLC. All handling parameters for all cars and bikes have been completely reworked based on real data. Cars handling made more close to reality due to fine tuning center of gravity, tire traction, suspension etc. You can download this mod from gtainside and nexusmods.

This is 1 thing nobody points out in vanilla GTA IV is how much body roll the cars have. For example, in vanilla game, sport cars have the body roll of an SUV as if they had soft suspension. In reality, they have/should have stiffer suspension meaning less body roll.

Love that you worked on this even in 2022, because it really did improve my return to the game this year. Thanks for the effort!

That's epic, I've been using Killatomates mod until now i wanna try this... Good work 👍

This is the best mod for GTA 4 anyone has ever made.

This mod is spot on! It now stops almost every car from acting like an SUV even when it's not. (such as the Infernus)

There are changes done, such as the Sultan's performance now being similar to that of an Altezza Gita AS300 (-20kgs due to being a sedan instead of a wagon and AWD of course), Comet now being similar to that of a 997 Turbo (I gave it a 50:50 torque split to make it feel like it has a "working" torque vectoring differential), and mainly with the top speeds, where 270km/h would just make the map feel smaller, so I came with the solution where I pretended that the measurement of speed in GTA IV is in MPH, and decided to get the top speed data (of course, in MPH) from their IRL counterparts.

So now, the Banshee would reach 198km/h instead of 270km/h, Schafter would reach speeds of 178km/h, and many others.

Overall, a very great mod, I just personalized some of the things to my own liking.

thanks for doing devs work. (i really appreciate)

Good modification, brother. It looks much better than the original.

[calissonsantos]

nice work, you should create a velocimeter to follow theses new speeds

[elgallokriki]

with this mod, sports cars will feel like sports cars

DXVK+Complete edition patch+this mod = perfect gta 4 experience

Looks very similar to how the Super Diamond Drop drives in vanilla. Nice job!

This is absolutly unreal car force!! Even a hit from a truck at that very low speed won't roll over a car. It would just pushes it. Hummer needs more speed to do that to other car. Its hilarious even to see in some point like car would be overacting or something.

Remember me to soccer players when one player slightly touch to another and then this suddenly hits the ground criying like the boy was dying.

I was browsing on nexus and found your mod, well done! I love realism and using each cars unique profile is so satisfying.
Also 2:26 & 3:28 xD

GTA IV's vanilla physics feels wrong for me. It's kind of feels like some sort of boat handling for the most part. Really, Mafia 2's handling fits well with GTA 4's modern cars

This mod is what I'd expect from GTA IV's physics. Cars actually feel a bit more responsive

[buak]

This is even better now. Vanilla physics had some issues as you've pointed out but the fact that they have implemented so many factors that modders can change says already a lot about the developers.

[MinecraftvsBurnout]

Two things are absolutely great in this mod.
1. Correct centering of vehicles. (Satisfying)
2. Setting the speed limit closer to reality. (It's really good that the ridiculous top speed limit is gone)
Apart from that, turns without body roll unfortunately do not feel realistic..

[MagicAlF]

Would you be interested making a version that scales top speed back down to vanilla while preserving realistic handling? Killatomate85 ultimately did this with his GTAV mod and even seemed to surprise himself that he preferred it, because the game's streets are not engineered for realistic speed and the city is a miniature of a real city. But he never got back to doing it for his GTA IV mod and I've had unsatisfactory results trying to figure out how to do it myself. Things have to be balanced just right for handbrake turns and bike stunting to work correctly.

is it possible to manualky remove the increased speed and acceleration for the vehicles after installing the mod? I think this mod is excellent but as a personal preference i'd rather have the original acceleration and speeds the same as vanilla

[ahmettcavus]

Can i download this and also another vehicle pack mod together? Will modded vehicles use vanilla handling instead?

[retropaasgamer]

I play GTA 5 but I would say GREAT WORK coz it takes a lot of hardwork and time create mods
