Note - This does not stop the FRV from rolling over if you drive like a clown. Plants, bug planet flower thingies, fire hydrants are unaffected and you'll still get sent to space if you drive over them.
The M-102 FRV and the M-103 Supply FRV stop rolling over.
Stock, the FRV flips on almost anything: a rock at speed, a hard turn, landing a jump nose-first. This mod retunes its physics so it stays on its wheels, while still driving like the FRV.
It edits the vehicle's physics file only.
What changes
New in 1.1: the M-103 Supply FRV gets the same fix. It uses the same suspension as the M-102, and every value was checked against the game files before patching, but I don't own the Supply FRV so I haven't driven it myself. If it handles oddly, let me know.
The M-104 Incinerator FRV is a separate vehicle and stays stock.

What changes
- Front suspension damping 0.75 -> 1.25, matching the rear. This is the big one: stock, the front end is much softer than the rear, so the nose bounces and pitches the car over.
- Centre of mass lowered (-0.375 -> -0.6). Harder to tip.
- Wheel radius 0.55 -> 0.62. A bit more ground clearance.
- Tyre grip front/rear 1.0/0.9 -> 1.2/1.1. The rear stays slightly looser than the front on purpose.
- Suspension travel front/rear 4.0/6.5 -> 5.5/7.5. Soaks up rough ground instead of launching off it.
- Mass 3000 -> 4000 (M-102), 2500 -> 3333 (M-103 Supply FRV). The same +33% on both.
