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 Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features.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 I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Yes, this is the Initial Release. I wanted to get some feedback from the community. This is currently only 1.0.0, there will be alot of other things. I am also currently working on documentation and getting the page setup. There will be a ini file in the future, just tryna think of variables, etc. but currently,. I think its J for cruise control. correct me if I am wrong. Engine Control will be T. I also would love to hear the keybinds you guys have in mind to help not conflict. Some features arent not available yet, but the main is thing is there.

Loving it so far. I was using BVA (Basic Vehicle Actions) for years and it was becoming outdated slightly

You have done a great job so far!

"I also would love to hear the keybinds you guys have in mind to help not conflict." The only thing so far that I can think of is the G key by default for the engine. Of course this is easily correctable in the ini. I made mine the i key as it does not interfere with the Stop The Ped main menu function and I can't think of anything currently like ELS, STP or UB that would interfere with the i key. But once again this is easily correctable as per user. Just remember you can't make everyone happy 😉

Awesome!!! Don't know if you'd want any feedback or advice, but when it comes to controller options, XENOLIT's car commands using X as the modifier seems to be the best when it comes to controls.
