About the mod:
This mod is a reimplementation of Simply No Damping v.1.0 (which was already a reimplementation of Revamped Car Physics).The "angular damping" in SRTT is responsible for the very noticeable stiffness of the car physics. Both of the previous mods removed it completely for some or all vehicles to fix the problem.
Simply No Damping fixed a few issues with Revamped Car Physics and removed unnecessary changes. I really liked that straightforward approach, so for the longest time Simply No Damping was my go-to mod for fixing the car physics in SR3. However, some things always bothered me about the mod:
-removing the damping on the VTOLs made them uncontrollable in hover mode
-removing the damping on the Crusader tank made it spin uncontrollably during Air Steelport, rendering the mission unbeatable
-completely removing the damping made the driving a bit too fluid, with most cars being able to take sharp turns at high speed without even using the handbrake, rendering that feature useless, bikes were even worse
So the goal of "Simply Less Damping" is to make the driving in the game more enjoyable without making it look too unrealistic for ALL ground vehicles and ONLY ground vehicles. By universally lowering it instead of universally removing it.
List of all the changes:
Here's what has been done to achieve this:All ground vehicles have had their damping values universally divided by 2. And that's it.
This includes:
-all bikes (+ ATV)
-all cars (+limo and hearse)
-all vans (+ambulance, Gat Mobile, Manapult, etc)
-all trucks
-Knoxville and Pony Cart
-Mars rover
-all DLC ground vehicles and DLC variants of vanilla vehicles (+Yarnie)
This does NOT include:
-all boats
-any vehicle that can fly
Compatibility:
Obviously "Simply Less Damping" is not compatible with any other mod that changes car handling and physics. I might make a few compatibility patches in the future but for now you can just overwrite my mod files with those of other mods that you prefer, or merge them yourself using WinMerge.Installation:
Just drop all of the .xtbl files (88) inside in the SR3 root folder (where the .exe files are located).Tools used:
-Minimaul's Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV and Gat Out Of Hell tools-Notepad++
-WinMerge
