Version 2.4 of the GRID Xtra mod. Changes the game with revamped economy, integrated DLC and custom drivers.
Race Driver:GRID - Xtra Mod
v2.4
For the mod to work you NEED:
-Game version 1.3
-Prestige & 8-Ball Packs
-New savefile(older mod savefiles are likely incompatible)
STRONGLY recommend using the CPU multithread fix to increase game stability
I also recommend using a graphical mod to remove the yellow 'piss' filter.
Installation:
1.Install the Prestige & 8-Ball DLC packs.
2.Remove everything EXCEPT schema.bin in the database folder in your game folder.
3.Put all the folders from this archive in your game folder.
Read the 'Known Issues & Possible Fixes' text file in the archive in case you run into any bugs/problems!
NOTE:Mod was tested on a GOG and ZOOM copies.

Great mod! I started a new career and during my first 2 hours of playing I only encountered 1 crash in the options menu when trying to change the resolution. Other than this no issues.
One question though: Even the 3rd out of 5 difficulties makes the AI near impossible for me to beat in some events. Is that intended? I wouldnt call myself a bad player and its more obvious during the Formula races than in crash derby. But I cant imagine how its possible to beat them on the highest difficulty setting.
Nonetheless, great work. It is a fantastic addition to the base game.
Can I use this mod with the Zoom Platform version?
I have not tested it,but I assume it should work fine like with the Steam and GOG versions
Cars like the firebird and lotus show us as default string in career?

The AI mod needs SEVERE tweaking, they kill/crash on first curve on Nurburgring EVERY lap (SPA too)
They are extreme agressive enough to ignore your/their presence on a curve so they damage all cars ONLY being on a closer distance, all AI's appear to be idiots driving, almost impossible to have a beautiful fight for positions or good laps without getting rammed, if stock AI's were bad for using rubberband effect, now they are incredibly disrespectful or just stupid racers.
For Derby Destruction is perfect, but that's not the whole game is all about, please fix it
The exagerated slipstream effects could be less than half of now, but overall is not far from a great mod, just need to adjust these major flaws and will be much better
This mod makes the AI o fast you get a 10s delay every lap racing at full speed on some starting events, and big AI car crahes on many tracks.
There is no description in the mod itself of how much it changes difficulty.
I had to delete it as it ruins the game and any fun from it and I am happy with the default balance.
I wanted the new event series and DLC cars to play and a harder economy but not unplayable races with impossible AI.

I am currently working on fixing the AI for version 2.4,so far managed to fix them divebombing into corners but still have to tweak their aggression and speed on some tracks.In any case,I'll still provide the default AI files with the next update if you don't like the changes or feel like the AI is too hard for you
Жаль что коды такие твари весь лог все порты по параметрам трассы удалили обьекты шифранули, использовали jasom который предвставил им формат который адаптировали и шифранули как основание всего. И просто бросили.
ПАМАГИТЕЕЕЕ УСТАЛ УЖЕ ВСЕ ТРАССЫ ОБКАТАЛ ДО ДЫР.
В ИДЕАЛЕ ebisu ТУДА ВОТКНУТЬ. Мне еще лет на 5 хватит

Very exciting mod! Installed with GOG copy and no crushes and a lot of new stuff. Main issue is AI is too fast to beat. I would say Im above average but still straggle to be on podium. AI is fast not only on straight but also on corners(seems like they don't slip at all), not possible to beat without driver assists which means less fun if you prefer to have full control yourself. You have to push really hard just to catch up which means you may easily destory your whole race. Even after managing to overtake one AI, other cars could be far ahead. That's what reality is but just make the game less fun. Recommend add a buff on the player if not in 1st place, and a debuff if player is already in 1st place to have more fun.
Did a clean reinstall of the game and the mod, now my game doesn't crash anymore.
