Real Traffic AI V2.0 is no longer in active development.

After a lot of development, testing and experimentation, the decision has been made to officially bring standalone development of Real Traffic AI to an end.

But this isn't the end of the idea behind the project.

It's the beginning of something much bigger.

💜⚡ 𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙇𝙑 𝙍𝙀𝙃𝘼𝙐𝙇 𝙑1.0 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝘼 1 𝙃𝘼𝙎 𝙍𝙀𝙇𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙀𝘿 ⚡💜

RealV Rehaul V1.0 Beta 1 — Civilian Foundation Build is now released.

RealV Rehaul is the next chapter: a much larger single-player realism project being built around connected vehicle, civilian and world systems instead of maintaining multiple isolated scripts.

If you've previously followed or supported Real Traffic AI, RealV Rehaul is the project to follow going forward.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ⚡ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 💎 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI began with one simple objective:

Make GTA V's civilian traffic feel less robotic, less chaotic and more believable.

Over time, that idea grew.

Traffic behaviour led into vehicle behaviour.

Vehicle behaviour led into pursuits, civilian reactions, consequences, persistence and wider world realism.

Eventually, maintaining those ideas as completely separate projects stopped making sense.

That is where RealV Rehaul comes in.

Rather than continuing to develop Real Traffic AI V2.0 as a standalone product, future development is moving toward one larger overhaul where systems can interact with each other properly.

Real Traffic AI helped build the foundation.
RealV Rehaul is where that foundation goes next.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ⚠️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This is now a legacy project.

There are currently no further feature updates, rewrites, balancing passes or new versions planned for Real Traffic AI V2.0.

The project should therefore not be considered an actively maintained mod.

Any future ideas that would previously have gone into Real Traffic AI will instead be considered as part of the wider RealV Rehaul project where appropriate.

This also means that old references on this page to upcoming Real Traffic AI development should now be considered outdated.

Because Real Traffic AI has reached the end of development, dedicated support for the project has also ended.

This includes individual assistance with installation, ScriptHookVDotNet errors, crashes, GTA V build incompatibilities, mod conflicts and heavily customised setups.

Real Traffic AI V2.0 was built for the GTA V environment and ScriptHookVDotNet versions available during its active development period.

As GTA V, ScriptHookV, ScriptHookVDotNet and other mods continue to change, compatibility with this legacy release cannot be guaranteed indefinitely.

For active development and future releases, please move over to RealV Rehaul.

🌌 𝙑1.0 𝘽𝙀𝙏𝘼 1 — 𝘾𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙉 𝙁𝙊𝙐𝙉𝘿𝘼𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘽𝙐𝙄𝙇𝘿 🌌

The first Beta of RealV Rehaul has officially released.

Instead of focusing exclusively on traffic behaviour, RealV Rehaul is being developed as a broader single-player realism overhaul for GTA V.

The goal is to make Los Santos feel more reactive by allowing separate gameplay systems to connect with each other.

Beta 1 establishes that foundation with:

• 🚘 Vehicle state tracking and manual engine control

• ⛽ Dynamic vehicle fuel and functional fuel stations

• 🔧 Progressive engine damage and performance degradation

• 🛠️ Repair shops with condition-based repair pricing

• 🚨 The first civilian crime-reaction and hidden-heat foundation

• 💾 Persistent vehicle fuel, engine state and damage between sessions

• ⚙️ Modular configuration and hot reloading

• 🛡️ Safe Mode and diagnostic systems

• 🚔 LSPDFR-friendly compatibility behaviour

• 📊 A live debug overlay for Beta testing

And V1.0 Beta 1 is only the foundation.

Future Beta releases are intended to continue expanding the world and connecting more realism systems together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚗 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

For anyone discovering this page for the first time, Real Traffic AI V2.0 was a civilian traffic behaviour enhancement designed to make GTA V's roads feel smoother and more believable.

V2.0 itself represented a substantial rewrite of the original Real Traffic AI project.

Its focus was not to make civilian drivers faster or more aggressive.

The philosophy was:

Less panic.
Less brake-happy behaviour.
Better spacing.
Smoother flow.
More believable traffic.

It attempted to improve GTA V's existing traffic behaviour without replacing the entire underlying traffic engine.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚦 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚗✨ 𝙎𝙈𝙊𝙊𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝘾𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙇𝙄𝘼𝙉 𝘿𝙍𝙄𝙑𝙄𝙉𝙂 ✨🚗

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 💙 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI V2.0 was built around improving normal civilian driving rather than creating exaggerated AI.

It targeted everyday situations such as following another vehicle, moving through queues, approaching stopped traffic, driving through dense city areas and travelling on faster roads.

The intention was for civilian drivers to feel more composed instead of constantly accelerating, braking and reacting aggressively to minor changes around them.

This made the script particularly useful during normal free roam and realism-focused gameplay.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚗 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛣️💜 𝙏𝙍𝘼𝙁𝙁𝙄𝘾 𝙁𝙇𝙊𝙒 💜🛣️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ⚡ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

One of the main focuses of Real Traffic AI was reducing GTA V's unusual stop-start traffic behaviour.

V2.0 experimented with better spacing, smoother acceleration, defensive following, lower-speed rollout behaviour and more controlled responses to traffic ahead.

The objective was never perfect traffic simulation.

It was simply to make the vanilla system feel more natural during everyday gameplay.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🛣️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚨💙 𝙀𝙈𝙀𝙍𝙂𝙀𝙉𝘾𝙔 𝙑𝙀𝙃𝙄𝘾𝙇𝙀 𝘼𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 💙🚨

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚔 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI V2.0 also introduced improved reactions around nearby emergency vehicles.

Civilian drivers could respond to active emergency vehicles with more deliberate yielding and pull-over behaviour where appropriate.

This part of the mod was created with LSPDFR-style gameplay in mind, attempting to create more room for police, fire and EMS vehicles without sending every civilian into complete panic.

This became an important part of the wider realism direction that eventually contributed to the decision to move beyond a traffic-only project.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚨 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚧🔥 𝙍𝙊𝘼𝘿 𝙊𝘽𝙎𝙏𝙍𝙐𝘾𝙏𝙄𝙊𝙉 𝘽𝙀𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙄𝙊𝙐𝙍 🔥🚧

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ⚠️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Another area explored by V2.0 was behaviour around slow, stopped or obstructing vehicles.

Rather than allowing every obstruction to immediately become an endless stationary queue, Real Traffic AI attempted to give civilian traffic more awareness of what was happening ahead.

This was particularly aimed at improving traffic around emergency scenes, stopped vehicles, dense roads and unusual situations caused by other gameplay mods.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚧 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🛣️⚡ 𝙍𝙊𝘼𝘿 𝙎𝙋𝙀𝙀𝘿 𝘼𝙒𝘼𝙍𝙀𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 ⚡🛣️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🌃 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

V2.0 also experimented with treating different types of roads differently.

City streets, residential roads and larger highways shouldn't all feel identical.

The road-awareness system was intended to create more restrained behaviour in slower areas while allowing traffic to behave more confidently on higher-speed routes.

Again, the goal was not to completely replace GTA V's traffic simulation.

It was to make the existing world feel a little more believable.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🛣️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚙️💎 𝙎𝙏𝘼𝘽𝙄𝙇𝙄𝙏𝙔 & 𝙋𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙈𝘼𝙉𝘾𝙀 💎⚙️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🛡️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Performance was an important part of Real Traffic AI V2.0.

Traffic scripts can potentially interact with large numbers of entities, particularly in busy city areas.

For that reason, V2.0 was rebuilt around more controlled update behaviour, safer processing and a startup grace period intended to reduce unnecessary pressure while GTA V was still loading the world.

That same stability-first philosophy continues into the newer RealV Rehaul project.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ ⚙️ ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧩🌌 𝙇𝙀𝙂𝘼𝘾𝙔 𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃𝙉𝙄𝘾𝘼𝙇 𝘿𝙀𝙎𝙄𝙂𝙉 🌌🧩

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 💻 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI V2.0 was developed as a ScriptHookVDotNet-based script.

It did not require replacing GTA V traffic files or permanently modifying the game's traffic data.

Its development philosophy prioritised configurability, compatibility and controlled processing over forcing dramatic behaviour onto every civilian vehicle.

That philosophy is one of the things being carried forward into RealV Rehaul.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🧩 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🚔💜 𝙇𝙎𝙋𝘿𝙁𝙍 𝙇𝙀𝙂𝘼𝘾𝙔 💜🚔

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 💙 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI was frequently used alongside LSPDFR, and its behaviour was designed with that kind of gameplay in mind.

RealV Rehaul continues the same general compatibility philosophy.

RealV Rehaul is not an LSPDFR replacement.

It is not intended to become a police career system, callout framework, agency system or duty framework.

Instead, RealV Rehaul focuses on the civilian world and general single-player realism while attempting to remain friendly toward players who also run LSPDFR.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🚔 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠️🌃 𝙇𝙀𝙂𝘼𝘾𝙔 𝙈𝙊𝘿 𝙉𝙊𝙏𝙄𝘾𝙀 🌃⚠️

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ 🔧 ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Real Traffic AI V2.0 should now be treated as a finished legacy release, not as an actively supported product.

GTA V traffic itself is still controlled by many different vanilla systems, and Real Traffic AI never replaced the entire traffic engine.

Behaviour can therefore vary depending on GTA V build, traffic density, ScriptHookVDotNet version, other scripts, LSPDFR plugins and other mods attempting to control the same NPCs.

No further compatibility guarantees or standalone Real Traffic AI updates are planned.

To everyone who downloaded Real Traffic AI, tested it, reported problems, provided feedback, used it during LSPDFR patrols or simply drove around Los Santos with it installed:

Thank you.

Real Traffic AI went through multiple versions, experiments and rewrites because people actually played it and cared enough to provide feedback.

The project may no longer be in development, but the ideas and lessons behind it haven't disappeared.

They are helping shape what comes next.
