I attempted to become a professional driver in a GTA 5 where every car had no friction
Gotta make ends meet somehow.
Yesterday, I shared how I recently modified GTA 5 to disable friction for all NPC cars, causing them to move continuously and inadvertently crash or explode. To try my hand at being a professional driver, I installed The Getaway mod, allowing me to accept road missions by dialing a phone number. This involved picking up a passenger and delivering them to a destination, navigating through Los Santos streets with no other drivers obeying physics.
However, the lack of friction made it incredibly challenging to secure a vehicle for these missions. I managed to obtain a car by using a car gun to launch one into a wall. Despite this, every intersection in Los Santos now felt like a dangerous dance with death, as every car remained unstoppable but relentless in its destruction.
Even attempting to pick up a fare, such as when he tried to enter an inexplicably snow-covered North Yankton police truck, became perilous. A taxi cab drifted nearby, crashing into a pedestrian just inches away. This experiment highlighted the daunting challenges of driving in a world devoid of friction, where walkable urban spaces pose a constant threat of mayhem.
