Thread: My first Need for Speed SHIFT mod

Haven't tried it yet, but I will and will post my impressions

These are the default Values of the game (Player Pro mode; AI Hard mode)
-Player grip is @120%
-AI grip is between 95-98% (different values for braking, cornering, etc)
-AI aggression is @100%.

I tried again on another computer with winrar and it downloaded them fine this time...at least I think it did.

Unfortunately I have another problem now. When I install as instructed NFS Shift falls over just as it gets past the main splash screen. Then if I substitute back the original file it works fine again.

Just to be sure I understand how to install it, I am simply making a backup copy of the original PHYSICSBOOTFLOW.bff file, then renaming one of the four downloaded files to that same name and putting it in the pakfiles folder?

One other thing. My original file is 191K in size, but the downloaded one unzipped is 28K.

You have first to extract the archive properly, inside that archive there is already the PHYSICSBOOTFLOW.bff file with ~615 KB in size, no need to rename.

would be great to have even faster AI. I like driving the stock Golf GTI and I'm still the fastest car in a same class field. (pro/hard)

As long there is the input lag issue the fast cars aren't controlable safely for me.

If I understand you right, you use the normal (120%) grip level. If thats right, here are 2 more files, which increases the AI grip to 120% or 130%.

Tell me what you think about it. :)

OK, well it seems I am having some issue actually downloading these files in the first place. When I try to download them from this website it says they are 28k in size. When I try to extract the contents then I get an identically named file (without zip extension) again of 28K.

Might someone be able to upload these files to rapidshare or something similar? That is three computers I have tried and all three have downloaded "empty" files.

Don't use download managers, and re-download the files and i am sure it will be fine. We offer great download speed and bandwidth so no need for help attributes

I'm not :( Just plain vanilla Windows Vista on two machines and Windows XP on the third. When I try to extract using Windows itself it says the archive is empty.

well you are doing something wrong Jon

Try downloading this
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

and then extract the file with that program

Thanks, but I already tried that. Can anyone confirm the actual size of these zip files? This forum thread tells me they are each only 28k in size. That seems extremely small to contain a compressed version of a ~600k file.
