Topcar-Design Upgrades 2019 Mercedes G550 for Off-Road Adventures

Hey modders,

I'm back with a new mod, this time for Topcar-Design's 2019 Mercedes G550. This is a handling file that significantly improves its off-road performance, because the G-wagen is a true off-roader, not just a status symbol (although it is definitely that too). I was able to climb all three major mountains in the game - Chiliad, Josiah, and Gordo - on their sides without any assistance or trails. It went up and over rocks with ease; essentially, it can conquer almost anything. Maybe you could climb those mountains with a Progen T20, but I tested this G-wagen against a Vapid Contender, and the Contender struggled in areas where this G-wagen succeeded.

I also changed the vehicle class from SUVs to Offroad because the G550 is a capable off-roader in real life, and it performed even better than I expected. I improved the first-person camera perspective as well, because I felt it sat too low. That's why I also included a vehicles.meta file.

I'm really proud of this mod, although I'm not sure anyone else will be that impressed, lol.

To install, launch OpenIV and navigate to:

mods > update > x64 > dlcpacks > g550 > dlc.rpf > data

Then drag the provided handling.meta and vehicles.meta files into OpenIV to replace the old ones.

Feedback is always appreciated!
