Every folder, except the ones prefixed with a "t" (for example, tbus), has seve ral .ini files. One sets tuning and data for the normal player car (car.ini), on e is for NPC cops (car_cop.ini), another is for the NFS version of that car (car _hp.ini), and the last one is for NPC racers (carracer.ini). For very fast cars with very good handling, it should loo similar to: ' Porsche 911 Turbo Statistics [basic] ' dimensions -- in general these are data parameters and ' should not be used for tuning Mass=100 BodyShape=6 WheelBase=2.350 FrontTrac Width=1.4650 RearTrac Width=1.5220 VehicleHeight=1.2140 HeightOfGravity=0.35170 RearSlideFactor=0.0 FrontGripBias=0.480 ' aerodynamic factors ' aero coefficients are major tuning variables!

Do this in the "car.ini" and "car_hp.ini" and the normal and NF S versions of whatever vehicle you choose will both be unbeatable by normal NPCs . However, if you want the cops to beat everyone, change those values in the "ca r_cop.ini" file. If you want a guarantee failure in a "fair" race, change the me ntioned values in the "carracer.ini" file. However, because of the RPMs limit pu t on every car, the NFS version of a car now has only a few mph higher top speed . You will be surprised at the acceleration. Just steer clear of other cars.

This will reduce your opponent's speed considerably, and you can easily win the race. You can us e any value within 0 to 1 for that variable. Setting "Racer.OverallSpeedFactor=0 " will stop your opponents. Note: There are a number of variables in "racetune.i ni" file that can be modified for ma ing new cheats as desired.

Start You're The Cop mode in single player under the beginner difficulty setting . Select either the Crown Victoria or the BMW M5 (the opponents are easier to ca tch). Then, go to National Forest and catch the fourth and third cars. On the la st two, hit the third one to ma e him lose control, then arrest the first place car. Immediately catch the second player that you forced to lose control to mini mize the time to around 138, if done quic ly enough. The procedure is quic but easy, giving you over 25,000 points if you throw in a couple of jumps. Then, res tart and do it again. Go to challenge mode, pic the Pursuit Crown Victoria, then choose Outbac II an d set it for two, four, or eight laps. When you start the race, get your top spe ed points then slow down to about 75 mph. Then, step on the gas and get your top speed points again. You can eep doing this as long as desired. You can also do this on any other trac , but Outbac II is the easiest. In Hot Pursuit or Championship mode, it is possible to get a great amount of poi nts. When racing, get the minimum position needed to proceed (for example, third , second, and first place). Race and get third place. When you get third place a nd collect your points, restart the race. Only this time, get second place. Coll ect your points, restart the race, and get first place.

On the upper-right corner of the screen are four star shadows. Each time you bre a a law or do something bad, you will get a yellow star. For example, a hit-and -run is two stars. If you get four yellow stars, you should beware of roadbloc s , including the choppers. Get the police off your tail If you have one or two police chasing you, swerve around things such as incoming traffic, trees, poles, or any other immobilized objects. The police may not see it and crash into it. This gives you an advantage to lose them. If you are way ahead of the pac and do not feel li e having a police on your tail, if your rad ar detector detects an incoming radar (or police), zoom on the road in front of you. See where the police are par ed, and slam into the bac of their car. It wi ll be a hit and run, but the police car will be dead. You will not even get a ye llow star. When you want to get rid of the cop chasing you at a close distance, get just be hind him so that your front tire is touching his bac tire. Then, turn your car slightly in the direction of the cop car. The officer will get turned around and end up facing in the wrong direction. This should give you enough time to get a way.

The best car to use to ma e you crac up at the is the McLaren F1 LM or the McLaren F1. If done correctly, you will see the ram into the wall. neo

In Hot Pursuit mode, whenever a police cruiser attempts to push you off the road try to push it towards the other side of the road. Eventually the cruiser will spin out of control and crash. saip If you are getting chased by the cops, let the cop get a bit ahead of you and th en do a California Stop to the officer. It should spin him out and you should on ly swerve slightly. This will give you plenty of time to get away from the cops. Note: A California Stop is when you hit the bac left/right wheel with your fro nt wheel. This will spin the car out. adrian mcgrath When you reach a certain point in a police chase, the cops will try to disable y our vehicle using tire shredding spi es in roadbloc s. Listen to the police chat ter on the radio. A unit will say what side of the road the spi es are on when t hey are set. Then when you reach that roadbloc , smash through the barricade on the side without spi es. If the unit does not specify what side the spi es are o n, then assume they are across the entire road. In this case you will have to ra m through one of the police cars on either side of the strip to get past it safe ly, or go around the entire roadbloc if there is room or ta e an alternate rout e. If you hit the strip, you will have no chance of getting away without a tic e t. A.A.M. Drive close to traffic or through narrow spaces and near obstacles while police pursue you. They will usually swerve bac and forth behind you, and there is a g ood chance they will blindly smash into anything you drive close to. Most of the time if they hit a wall, tree, or oncoming traffic at high speed, their car wil l be totaled. This may also happen if they slide into guard rails hard enough or too many times. Also, when coming up on a police car, if you are far ahead of t he other racers you can ram the cop. If you are traveling fast enough and hit th eir side you can total them, leaving you with less trouble to deal with later. N ote: Wrec ed cruisers will call for a tow truc and re-spawn on the trac . Total ing them just helps to get them off your bac temporarily. A.A.M. Get rid of police helicopters Find a dividing road. Shortcuts wor perfectly. When the helicopter is in front of you, it will follow the main road. It will not switch roads after it is on on e. Go on the other road, and the helicopter will be gone.

This will ma e the car spin viciously out. Next, turn around as fast as you can and hit the front of the ca r. This will total the car and it will be a bust. Note: A California Stop is whe n you hit the bac left/right wheel with your front wheel. This will spin the ca r out. adrian mcgrath Get another racer stopped by the cops When a car is being chased by the cops, get a short distance behind it and do a California Stop to it. It will spin him out and most of the time he will get sto pped by the officer that is chasing him. Note: A California Stop is when you hit the bac left/right wheel with your front wheel. This will spin the car out. adrian mcgrath Easy wins in single event When you are directly next to someone in a race and they are getting chased by a cop, if they are in front of you slow down to where you are directly behind the m on either the left or the right. Slowly speed up to where the hood of your car is on the side next to their trun . Very quic ly slam into their car to ma e th em spin out of control. If they are too slow, they will be caught by the cop. Af ter this happens, continue to do this until you are the only one remaining. Elrfoot Easy Quota races To win the many Quota races do the following. When you see the car you are chasi ng, do not put your sirens on immediately because the car will try to escape.

Slow opponents down All of your opponents can be scared. If your opponents are directly besides you, suddenly steer towards them, as if you were trying to ram their car off the roa d. They will panic and veer away from your sudden move. If you are luc y, they m ay veer away too much, thus causing them to crash into an object, slowing them d own. You can also do this to police that are on your tail. Another way to slow down opponents is to get behind their car and ram it 180 deg rees from the bottom left or right of it. Note: This can also be done to cops. Traffic pulls over for you Choose a cop car in challenge mode. In the race, turn the sirens on. The cars wi ll pull over.
