Important Notice – End of Support I have officially retired from GTA V modding. Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features. Please consider this project permanently finished and archived. After many years of developing mods and supporting the community, I’ve decided to step away and move on to other priorities. I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

I love this mod and simplehud, my only request is if we can make the UI elements moveable as I have a 21:9 monitor with a custom mini-map position.

The link is unrelated. The link you sent is for keyboard controls.

I've been wanting to ask this for a while but I never got round to it;

Is there a specific reason you went with including a fork of RNUI (which for some unexplainable reason uses the same version logic as the official build) that is going to break every single plugin as soon as the official build of RNUI gets updated.

I don't see why you wouldn't just inherit the rnui classes you need to modify and use them instead of needing a custom build, all it does is add a lerp function so it's piss easy to implement.

The potential for users to install the wrong rnui version other plugins include is already problematic on its own and this just adds to the problem.

It is completely avoidable and you won't even need to update anything when using inheritance instead.

Any chance of the steering wheel support? The current one is outdated and would need to be completely rewritten. Would be great to have better control of the gears in the car again.

What you mean outdated? It's not outdated and it works fine.

This mod is not outdated but the manual transmission and steering wheel mod by ikt the latest update you cant even turn if you have the mod installed no matter what input you use.

"The latest GTA V update, b3095 (The Chop Shop) contains large changes to the games' transmission code. This makes this Manual Transmission script incompatible with that version and newer. As my priorities lie somewhere else now, the last game version this script, as of release 5.6.1, is compatible with is b3028.

Please revert to b3028, or most optimally b2372 if you wish to use this script, otherwise you should remove this script as too many things won't work. I may or may not work on this script in the future, but don't hold your breath."

Its not outdated. The manual transmission mod is not part of SimpleCTRL.

You need to talk to the manual transmission mod developer on GTA5 mods about updating his mod.
