Released Risky Traffic

This mod provides 3 functions for AI traffic:

1. Set the traffic as “risky”: it increases the AI traffic speed, which does not respect the road speed limits, and make it more aggressive to that it takes risks in high-speed driving.
   In this mode, the traffic drives fast, takes risks and sometimes crashes, which is exactly the way I drive. This is why I think this is how the traffic should always behave. It brings a lot of fun in the game.
   This is similar to what the Traffic App does, but you have it available through a simple key/button press. In addition, this feature is available in any situation, even with UI apps are not available.
   You can associate a key or button to this function to toggle between risky and normal traffic.
2. Get the traffic status: show the current traffic status. Sometimes when you switch to a new map, the traffic status can be reset, so being able to see its current status can be useful. It also shows the maximum number of AI traffic vehicles between brackets, useful when traffic is set to "auto".
3. Reset traffic: this resets the AI traffic by removing it and restarting it immediately. This is very useful in some scenarios, such as Garage to Garage Delivery, when AI traffic cars crashed in front of you and block the road while others cars arrive behind you to block you. Resetting the traffic can unblock the situation.

And 3 functions for the Police mode, to be used only when driving a police car:

1. Increase suspect probability: by default, the probability to have a suspect fleeing is set to 50%, so sometimes you wat for a long time before having someone to run after. Increasing the probability will make the game more fun by having traffic vehicles fleeing more often. It seems this function does not work if you drive a police car with standard traffic, you have to use traffic with police.
2. Trigger pursuit: When you press the corresponding key or button, the pursuit does not start immediately. Some conditions are necessary for that, it seems the suspect must be visible to make it flee. In fact, the driver flees only when he sees the cops. As soon as the pursuit is engaged, a message indicates the distance to the suspect vehicle. This function works with standard traffic, you just have to be in a police car.
3. No bar light; This function fixes a bug in the game. If you turn the bar light on while driving a civilian car, it will be immediately deactivated. This works only with police cars. No binding is necessary for this.

After installing the mod, don't be surprised if nothing is visible, this is because there is no UI. New bindings associated to the mod functions appear in the Gameplay section (should be at the end, scroll down) to let you associate a key or button to these each function:

• Risky Traffic - Change traffic mode
• Risky Traffic - Show traffic settings
• Risky Traffic - Reset traffic
• Risky Traffic - Change suspect probability
  
• Risky Traffic - Trigger pursuit

I can suggest the key bindings I use:

• F4 : Change traffic mode
• Shift-F4 : Show traffic mode
• F6 : Trigger pursuit
• Shift-F6 : Change suspect probability
• Shift-F7 : Reset traffic
