GTA SA variable driving skill

[shortcat]

What value is "driving skill" variable set on the server? For the reference, driving skill player stat in GTA SA that increase cars' traction. If it's at maximum (it is so by default in MTA race mode), I think this is very wrong. Why? Because higher framerate increases vehicle traction already. Try to play singleplayer without fps limiter (my pc gives something like 120 regardless of settings). Car will turn on dime and even brake by itself if you just let go of accelerator! Furthermore, it's totally playable at 25 fps when "driving skill" is zero, and more fun because car will slide more, I think good players should agree. Although difference isn't really big. So, I think we should set this variable to zero.

 

Addition: server runs at 45 fps (mix server at 60), and GTA SA is designed for 25 fps.

all skills are maxed out in MTA.

Driving skills, shooting skills, stamina, breath hold, everything you can think of

Would you consider nerfing driving skill? It should be possible.

[BinSlayer]

yes it is possible

I won't do it because there is no reason for this. Players should be able to drive at the best skill possible.

Plus we have all got accustomed to the way it is now.

Accustomed, I agree, but by your logic why don't edit handling to give all cars 9000 traction? That would be "best skill possible". Like I said high framerate we have on server already raises traction higher than it should be.

Not to mention, 25fps would feel very choppy.

im not changing the skill of driving..

we've always had it like that there's no reason to change it

Well, I guess so, seems like noone else care.
