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 Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features.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 I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Hi, is there any way to change the position of the plugin elements? I just have a 21:9 monitor and they are slightly misaligned

This is a great plugin, but I have one problem. Sometimes when I try to start the engine and drive, the engine immediately turns off after starting, I have to repeat this process 5-10 times before the engine finally stays on. Can you please fix this, thank (I use controller btw)

I would love to see this mod implemented with a Interior light, toggler both Red and white, like in the LE Vehicles in real life for better visibility on whatever you need to do in the vehicle.

I don't know why, but if I turn off the fuel system and then try to turn on the indicator in the game, the plugin crashes. I haven't turned off the indicator function and haven't changed anything about it

Great work and amazing mod, I love it!!! My only complaint is with the fuel bar. Is there a way to move it or make it not appear when I'm standing outside of my vehicle? If I could at least move it to the bottom of the minimap, it wouldn't stand out so much.

I use the Don't Display Minimap when on foot addon and the floating fuel bar is killing my immersion but i prefer to play with the fuel system enabled. Otherwise, this mod is working great.

So I LOVE this mod, been using it for weeks. However, I've start started using a controller, whereas before I was using Keyboard. And every so often I can't get out of the vehicle, and I have to unload the plugin to get out, even if I try and get out with keyboard when this is happening. Is there a reason/fix as to why using a controller stops you from getting out of a vehicle?

This is literally the only plugin I have currently, so it's not a conflict.

Now, not only does using turn signals break the mod, but using the park function (shifting the car into park) breaks the entire mod as well and forces a hard crash.

For those wondering, SimpleCTRL is marked outdated as an upcoming mod changes his universal library (VenoxityCommon.dll), breaking this mod if you plan on using the new plugin. Meaning until Venoxity (Gravity) updates SimpleCTRL with the new library, those two mods are not compatible. There is also an issue regarding a menu that conflicts with the turn signals. In simple terms, this mod still works, but for the time being, you can only use one or the other once the new one is released. In addition because of this, there is an entire re-write planned with better and new features. It's marked as outdated as there are too many fixes needing to be done regarding conflicts, and the new upcoming plugin isn't going to help with that.

No, it is not abandoned, no, it does not have problems with your game if you use it as is. (To answer the inevitable, I am currently beta-testing the new plugin, which is how I know this, and also no, I can't share anything beyond that with you. Want information regarding it? Join the Discord in the description. Will help you tons.)

@dakidd @am21game Regarding the mod being outdated. ^^ And hopefully this helps with the comment spam when the new plugin is released.

Not being able to exit the vehicle has to do with vehicle god mode being enabled. Disable your vehicle god mode, or if you have Simple Trainer, go into your god mode settings and disable the seatbelt option. This is likewise for any other mod or menu that sets or configures your seatbelt, such as Faya's seatbelt mod. As such, this is another reason I mentioned that this mod is outdated because of said conflicts like this and requires a rewrite.
