Woah. That's just crazy. But you really want to have this feature in your GTAIV? Doing this is far from difficult. This is a very simple mod to do, but this is for people who are lazy and don't want to change the friction for every single car, boat, heli, etc. 1. First, Locate your GTAIV folder (example: C:/Program Files/Steam/SteamApps/common/grand theft auto iv/GTAIV/). 2. Then go into 'common' then 'data'. 3. Search for a file called 'handling.dat'. 4. Rename the file to something else like 'handling backup.dat' Just something that'll let you know this is a backup. 5. Place this file into 'data' folder where the original 'handling.dat' is. (Yes replace if it asks you too, that's why you have a backup of the original when you want to revert back) 6. Open up GTA IV and laugh your ass off! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and enjoy! ^_^ FAQ: Q: I stole this! A: Thats not really a question is it? This isn't exactly a original work, this is simply changing numbers in your handling.dat so that the cars have no friction, I'm not actually stealing someone's work. Q: I cant handle the craziness anymore, how do I change back? A: Easy, just put your "backup" handling.dat back were it was and it replace the crazy one. Done! Q: How do I download? A: Theres a big download button under the mod title...
