FerrariMan's Traffic Conversions (NFS4)

Hello everyone :)

I'm presenting my Traffic Conversions which might eventually be available in a mod package. So far, I've only finished two, and the third is very close to being finished.

The Plan: To take all the NFS:HS traffic cars, and turn them into real cars like EA might make. At the moment, I'm not sure how to put symbols on the cars that are close to an actual model (like the Audi sedan) but I'm working on it. These cars when finished will have accurate CARP.TXTs, engine sounds from other EA cars or another mod car, and MAYBE have some edited dashes, but I'm not sure about that quite yet. And they will have FEDATA files with accurate pricing and close-to-real Car Compare graphs. and of course, knowing me, custom damage models will be added :D

I'm not sure if I'll ever finish all of these, but at the moment I'm at this progress level:

Touring Bus [bus]: Completed, will be uploaded today ;)
Mazda Miata [esedan, I think]: Mostly completed, needs minor tweaking. 96% done.
Audi S4 [sedan4]: Needs a finalized CARP.TXT and some color name changes. 89% done.

Next Up:
City Bus [ebus]: Haven't started, it's Next Up. 0% started :p


I'll update this post pretty regularly, just wanted to know what you guys think :)

LOL ok ;)

BUS uploaded. Touring bus should be available now, but it's really hard to drive. Anyone can help me with Steering section of CARP?

WiLL

Just a suggestion,why not just use EA's Bus Carp Steering?
copy & Paste it. I dont have experience is the Carp really.
Buses dont steer to tight anyways

That's kind of what I"m using, what it was based off of. but if you ever try EA's bus with traffic cheats, you'll realize the steering sucks unrealistically bad :(

I tried upping the lateral acceleration whatever, and steering speed and stuff but it still is really bad.

WiLL

Thats why i used umm, This Wicked Mod, Carp.Txt
Inside my Red GreyHound Bus, Loong ago lol
And made it Real Fast-Heavy, worked like a Charm ;)

Maybe EA's 9800 kg is too much for a bus. If I lower it it may be able to turn. I've tried steering speed/turning radius and that hasn't helped. Maybe it's just realistic this way, buses aren't easy to drive as far as I'm concerned. :p
