Accurate Driving Physics for a 1974 VW Beetle in Greenaid

Version 1.7 After some more extensive testing with a keyboard and vanilla materials.dat I had to rework traction again for a better experience with keyboard controls. I had to tone the burnout down a bit so keyboarders can take off slow but you can still rev it up and do a little burnout like the real car.

Sorry for any frustration this may have caused.

Version 1.6 brings a major update to the physics of the car with traction, center of gravity, top speed, acceleration times and body/suspension behavior all completely reworked for increased realism. Top speed for the stock 60 HP model is now 90 MPH as opposed to 75 MPH which is more appropriate for the 60 HP engine. Quarter mile times are also in the high 20 to low 21 second range now as they should be and you should also see the inside front wheel come off the ground when turning under hard G forces no matter what materials.dat you are using. The 200 HP version also has its own sound now and has been reworked in accordance with the 60 HP version. ABS has been disabled for both variants as well.

Version 1.5 Includes a 200 HP modded version for racing after a few folks complained about the power.

60 HP 4 Speed only 70+ MPH Excellent grip off road and has the ability to float on water. Steep hills can be quite a challenge without engine mods.

200 HP 4 Speed only 120+ MPH Excellent grip off road but the added power really shows the shortcomings of the stock suspension.

When most people think of a VW Beetle the image that comes to mind is a slow old hippy car with flowers painted on it. This may often be the case, but the Beetle's driving dynamics can be quite fun and engaging.

InversePower and my realistic traction overhaul mod are both STRONGLY recommended for max traction realism on and off road.

More highly recommended vehicle realism mods include:
