ABS brakes

[HitmanR]

Hello,

 

I have one question. I have been editing some car's handling data,

and there is line for ABS brakes.

What these brakes do, because I cannot see any difference in-game.

 

Thank you for replies.

Afaik, it's the line that dictates whether the wheels are to lock when braking or not. Distance etc should not change.

The ABS setting does nothing in GTA3, GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

[HitmanR]

Yeah, true. The wheels stop steering when holding handbrake for both ABS and non ABS.

 

Or maybe it has some hidden powers.

Dont know, you Cerbera are professional.

I think that ABS are locking the wheels so the wheel doesn't stop, it just braking and stop normaly on a wet road

Either way i think that this is crucial for rainy weather

when the road is slippery...

the cars without ABS can drift better

abs cycles the whells from locked to unlocked and back to locked so you stop really fast and can still turn (in real life anyway) try turning and stopping on a abs equipped car and on a no abs one, the abs one turns better

The definitive answer : ABS only works on the front wheels in GTA SA. The rears will lock regardless of the ABS setting, but the fronts will respond to it.

 

However, since this topic was dead for 6 months, I'm obliged to report this bump so it can be locked.
