Hate driving in DayZ? Me too - let's fix that! ProTraction is a lightweight, script-only DayZ mod that prevents vehicles from sliding while driving and greatly increases overall traction.

[list] [*]Stops vehicles from spinning out, drifting, sliding, and more! [*]Prevents unexpected vehicle crashes and janky physics interactions. [*]Can be paired with BetterDriving for a full vehicle overhaul. [*]Unlike any other previous traction mod this does NOT affect surface grip or existing vanilla configs directly, rather it directly targets vehicle physics with a script overhaul. [*]Enhances driver control at mid-high speeds. [*]Does not affect ease of steering or regular driving mechanics outside of improving vehicle traction. [*]For nerds: clamps yaw movement range when a vehicle does not have an active movement input. [*]Broad compatibility: affects any vehicle derived from `CarScript`, including most modded cars. [*] !!! KNOWN ISSUE !!! will not work with bicycles or motorbikes at all, update pending to address this. [/list]
Installation difficulty: Very easy [olist] [*]Install the mod to your server and add it to the command line. [*]Move the psyopgirl.bikey file into your /keys/ directory. [*]Validate your server using DZSA's server check to ensure the mod is recognised and configured. [*]Done! [/olist]
