Disable ABS via upgrade.ini

Hello.

I want to disable the ABS via an upgrade type and upgrade level in the upgrade.ini file of the M2 CS, with a choice between leaving it as is, and disabling it.

I am used to using the upgrade.ini file to very slightly modify the power and torque of some rare cars, but also to make some rare cars 4-wheel drive on demand, especially for btcc, also to add a handbrake, or to disable the gearbox protection...

But I don't know how to disable the ABS on this car.

Indeed, I can't find the corresponding lines in the HDV because all the cars that could provide me with these lines seem encrypted.

Can you please tell me which lines I have to type in the upgrade.ini file ?

Thank you very much.
 
I would like to point out that I am not an modder expert and that I have no idea about modding.

I have just been tinkering with the upgrade.ini for at least 6 or 7 years when I think it might be useful.
 
Try the below Entries.
In the shown Configuration the AI also uses the Option "OFF".

EDIT I edited the below Code, because i did use a Value that completely deactivated the Braking (see Posts below).

Code: 
 UpgradeType="ABS"
{
  UpgradeLevel="OFF"
  {
HDV=
HDV=[CONTROLS]
HDV=OnboardAntilockBrakeSystem=0
HDV=ABS4Wheel=0
HDV=ABSGrip=(0,0)
HDV=AntilockBrakeSystemMapRange=(0.0,0.0,1)
HDV=AntilockBrakeSystemMapSetting=0
HDV=AntilockBrakeSystemMapSpecial=(0,,,0.0)
HDV=ABSType=0
HDV=ABSSampleRate=40
HDV=ABSReleasedPressureMultiplierFront=0
HDV=ABSReappliedPressureMultiplierFront=0
HDV=ABSReleasedPressureMultiplierRear=0
HDV=ABSReappliedPressureMultiplierRear=0
HDV=ABSMinSpeedKph=1000
HDV=ABSHoldPressureBeforeRelease=0
HDV=ABSBrakeMapRearMin=0
HDV=ABSBrakeMapRearStep=0.0
HDV=BrakePressureSmoothing=100 
}
  UpgradeLevel="ON"
  {
  }
}

Thank you very much, what you sent me is exactly what I was looking for, and I know exactly how to use it without difficulty.

Thank you very much.
 
Hello @redapg and others !

I have correctly integrated these lines of code into the upgrade.ini, moreover, in the garage, I have an ABS option for which I can put on or off (OK).

When the selected option is on off for the ABS, which is what I want, I actually get the ABS deactivated in the setup menu (OK).

However, the lines of code that we have established deactivate the braking.

To be very precise, the brake control works, the red lights at the rear of the vehicle come on when I brake, the braking sound from the friction between the pad and the disc are perfectly audible...

But there is no more braking !

There are probably one or two values that need to be changed in this line of code.

Do you have any idea ?

In any case, thank you very much because I already get the ABS to deactivate, it's just that there is an unwanted side effect, which will be corrected I'm sure very easily.
 
@pilAUTO I didn't check my Entries in DevMode. :)
I can do it Tomorrow Afternoon, i guess.
Just 1 Question: When you brake, do the Wheels keep rotating or do they maybe stand still, but the Car doesn't brake at all?

When they stop rotating, set ABSGrip=(1,0) and try if that works.
 
@redapg

Just to give you a quick feedback :

I changed the setting you told me in the last message, without success.

Also, the wheels continue to spin without any braking when I press the brake, and the command seems to work since the car's rear red lights activate.
 
@pilAUTO I did have Time now already and checked it in DevMode.
It was my Fault, because i didn't expect that setting the BrakePressureSmoothing Value to 0 would have such an Impact.

It's Explanation is:

Controls the amount of brake smoothing, simulation of upbuilding brake pressure in the system (higher values are more instant build-up). Unit: 100% pressure / sec. default 10, recommended 20

So use my posted Upgrades.ini Code and use BrakePressureSmoothing=100 as the new Value.
(I guess 100 should keep the original (without ABS) upbuilding of the Pressure)

If you still get Problems, post again here. :)
 
@redapg

It works perfectly, thank you very much.

I also boosted the engine a little, I have lines of code on upgrade.ini that allow me to choose between 100 and 200% power in 10% steps, with also the values of 115 and 125%. I tested quickly, and 120 or 125% seem to me to take the driving more interesting, the tires and the brakes support. To be seen.

I also disabled the gearbox protection, using the lines you wrote for the Caterham and the Mini Cooper.
