Drive types

How do add dtype on vehicle?

-Go to any mod shop in San Andreas and on mod menu you will see all 3 drivetypes (AWD/RWD/FWD). Just select the one you wish t have and click "Buy/Exit". It doesn't cost you to add or change your drivetype. It saves that dtype until you change or remove in mod shop, no need to add it everytime you select your vehicle.

Dtype AWD - (Drive type: All wheel drive); Power is given to the front and rear wheels, making all four wheels act together, hence "all wheel" drive. This gives vehicles much better acceleration and control* over FWD and RWD vehicles. The negative side to AWD is that drifting is not as easy or the drifting is "killed" when you accelerate, as the front wheels grip, the front of the car claws forward and the drift disappears almost instantly. The front of the car might be less responsive, making the front of the car steer imprecisely.

When to use AWD? In races, escaping from police, driving in the rain. Generally just wanting to get everywhere quicker.
When not to use AWD? If you want to drift or go "sideways". If you also want a more "pointy car" then don't use AWD.

Examples of real life cars that use this system; Mitsubishi Evolution X, Subaru Impreza, etc
Examples of GTA cars that use this system; Sultan, Infernus, Turismo, etc



Dtype RWD - (Drive type: Rear wheel drive); Power is given to the rear wheels only. Because the rear wheels are the only moving force, acceleration is slower than AWD cars and control of the car is more difficult and nervous, resulting in "drift" when accelerating out of corners or in tricky conditions. The negative side, as mentioned, is that most RWD cars slide the end very easily, especially those with nitrous or are more powerful like the Bullet, requiring a driver to be alert and have quick reactions to control the powerslides and drifts.

When to use RWD? When you want to go sideways, do drifting or generally want to drive a vehicle with more difficulty. When you want to go everywhere in style or sideways.
When  not to use RWD? If you are no good at car control, don't use for races, escaping police or in tricky conditions. In general, races will be harder to win if other people are using AWD cars.

Examples of real life cars that use this system; BMW M4, Ferrari 488, etc
Examples of GTA cars that use this system; Bullet, Sentinel, etc



Dtype FWD - (Drive type: Front wheel drive); Power is given to the front wheels only. Cars with FWD are easy to control in general terms, there is no drifting or going sideways, acceleration is about the same or slightly worse than RWD cars, and much worse than AWD cars. Car control is easy, however it is possible that some cars aren't very responsive when turning as the front wheels are "pushing" but also turning at the same time, meaning the car will "sail" into the corners like there's ice (not as bad though).

When to use FWD? When you are driving your grandmother around San Andreas. When you're no good at driving. If you don't care to drive with pleasure.
When not to use FWD? Most of the time, if possible. Not good for racing, and in other situations, worse than RWD.

Examples of real life cars that use this system; Nissan Leaf? Ford Fiesta?
Examples of GTA cars that use this system; Manana? Club, etc

There is a new update on the drive types... therefore the /dtype commands is no longer working... Please update :)


"Removed '/dtype' and added 3 buttons for changing drive type to the mod shop."

"A vehicles drive type (all / front / rear wheel drive) will now save."
