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 Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features.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 I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Seems the engine key doesn't work for me, I don't think I have anything to conflict with it. Everything else works fine, I've tried rebinding the key to no avail.

Great mod something that could be useful is a keybind function that can open car doors say NumPad7 for driver door and NumPad9 for passenger a small thing but yet helpful to get out quick or hit a suspect with your door ; )

This might be a problem on just my end but whenever I have the indicator sound/GPS sound enabled, the audio of the game decreases and I have to increase it in volume mixer. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Do you have a page explaining all of the features, what they do, and how they work in the game? All I see on this page is a list of the features, not any detail on what specifically they do/triggers/etc. Thanks

To add on to the bug reports, the left and right turn signals crash the plugin, but the hazards work fine

Your plugin is truly great.
I'm currently testing the latest updated version.
When you activate the blinker, a flickering phenomenon occurs.
The game is not crashing, but an error occurred in simple control.
I ran the console window again and loaded the simple control, but
When the blinker is activated, the flickering phenomenon is repeated.
I haven't modified .ini, and I checked but it didn't work.
Please contact us.

I'm having issues being able to get out of a spawned car. The mod is great but being able to get in and out of my car would be nice, it could be on my end and I don't doubt that so any kind of help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Same brother. I went there with good intentions to report a bug and got laughed at, and ignored. He blamed it on me, but I fixed it. He won't admit that this new update messes with the trainer. At least, he should mention on his mod page that with the new update, you must turn off the vehicle seatbelt in god mod and restart your game. They didn't have to kick me out, I left myself. Something I can't deal with is arrogance.
