📋 About This Mod
What does it do?
This is my tune for the Thorton Galena GA40xt "Rattler".
It will change the engine, increase power and topspeed, lower ride height, increase track width, stiffen springs/dampers, adjust tire grip and more - for a more polished, dynamic and satisfying driving experience.
This also turns off vanilla driving helpers for this car, similar to ABS (CDPR calls it "brakemagic") and ESC (pulls cars straight after a slide) to allow for more skillful driving.
General goal is the handling of games like Dirt Rally/Forza with cars feeling unique and realistic.
This is made after months of research and testing - with irl rallye and tuning experience!
Strong recommendations (global handling fixes)
- True Grip (use all files, plus optional "Driving Friction Fix"!)
- Dynamic Downforce
- Dynamic Gravity
This mod combo provides you with more control and will make you able to grip and slide in more realistic ways.
For on- and offroad racing, drifting and relaxed cruising through the city!
Driveable with keyboard like before but now you will get more out of using a controller.
Other recommendations
- Nomad Golf, for the deserved visual upgrade.
- Car Modification Shop (CMS), to additionally tune all your vehicles ingame - strongly recommended (with my visual location)!
- Cyber Drift, to allow for more advanced drifts.
- Advanced Driving Controls for keyboard drivers: limits normal throttle/brake key to ~50% and allows for 100% with Shift/Ctrl!
- Speedometer Fixes if you care how fast youre actually going.
and ofc all of my other mods and tunes, specifically my Porsche and Quadra! stay tuned ;)
Compatibility
- works with every car mod, and even handling mods as long as they dont directly change the Rattler.
- Cyber Vehicle Overhaul (CVO) is untested this time
- Compatible with ShinyaOns handling mods
This is made after months of research and testing - fine tuned for each car individually - with irl rallye, racing and tuning experience!
Thanks again to my legendary teammate for the thumbnail <3
And happy new year everyone!
