We really need a good pit maneuver mod... one that disables the vehicle for about 30 seconds due to loss of traction and suspects shock and awe.   so annoying having to chase a car and pit it over and over again  it is  not very realsitic .. thanks to any modders ready to tackle this .. cheers !

Should be doable
I made a test for traction, and it can be almost removed:

 

But here is the thing

How will the gameplay be if you can spin a car around with a push on its rear. Wont it be way to easy to stop a vehicle?
There can be a set possibility for the car to respond to the push, but when pushed, it will fly from the road! I think other devs have found that to be a problem too, and felt that the method simply makes chasing a vehicle obsolete. first time you touch it, the chase is over, and the purp is in the ditch, hospital or more south..

 

Setting the driver into a panic-state is more ..tricky

I appreciate you taking a look at it ...the truth is most chases come to a complete end on a single pit maneuver , the car is temporally immobilized and usually the suspects hands reach for the sky ... i think its a mod that would really be useful and popular.   

 

right now, the perp keeps recovering for the pit and running into other cars, road signs etc  and continues onward which is very unrealistic.

Well i did and have to realize that there are differences between cars with Peds and cars with purps..
It is no hazzle to make a functional PIT method for Peds-cars, they are 'left alone' by the LSPFRF-game-engine, that is however not the case for purp-cars!
If a marked car (blipped) is set to loose its grip, the LSPDFR-engine will imediately reset the grip next msecd. It can be read-out as Reapplied in the log i believe..
That means that blipped cars wont do a pirouette when touched by the chasecar, only cars with civilian-Peds will do that.
Unless LSPDFR adds a method for letting the purp-car-grip be the same as it is for Civilian-cars, a PIT-method for purp-cars is not possible. Civilian-cars can however be spun several times, but beside it looking suspiciously like driving on black ice, it is not all that interesting

interesting that the LSPDFR game engine is the culprit.. maybe the dev's can fix that ,    Thanks again 

 

Have you tried surrounding the front of the vehicle with your patrol car upon a successful pit? Most of the time suspects keep driving if the game detects a clear pathway in front of them. However, if you box a vehicle, they usually surrender with their hands up.

I've been able to do that on occasion, however the stars have to align just right ,  suspects usually have their foot on the gas ramming anything and everything from my experience .   I will just roll with the punches ~  cheers thanks for the reply
