setVehicleHandling

Cars in San Andreas will not engage in the opposite direction of motion while still moving? Example, while rolling backwards slowly, regardless of having a 10000 accelerate set in hedit I can't spin the tires forward until I come to a complete stop. I would like to spin the tires forward as though accelerating to the front while still rolling rolling backwards... all ideas welcome.

Try all traction flags.

Thanks, i spent a long time sliding down some of the steeper hills in SA backwards with so little traction, inertia, and brimming with acceleration that ultimately my understanding of what could be done failed me. (I've written dozens of sublime drift handles and retuned every car in GTA IV over 6 months time.) The SA game engine appears to not allow any forward spinning of tires no matter how little traction and how much power you have, the game engine holds to an artificial limit if vehicle is traveling backwards wheels will not spin forwards until backwards motion comes to a complete and total stop.... I want to change this artificial limit so that relative to only acceleration and traction may the rear wheels begin to spin forwards regardless of directions of travel of the vehicle contrary to this.

testing on pavement at: /sp 2816 -1143 17 with 500 accel and 0.1 accel traction allows for coninued reverse vehicle motion with the desired forward wheel spin but only until the wheels stop spinning due to increased reverse vehicle velocity due to the hill but as reverse vehicle velocity increases what should be forward wheel spin becomes braking and will not reengage forward spin until the reverse vehicle motion stops completely.

I want this limit to be turned off (somehow) so that forward wheel spin is like in real life only an equation between velocity, traction, and horsepower.
