One of the biggest issues about driving with keyboards is the fact that you can not control the speed of your vehicle smoothly like you can with controllers.

This is especially frustrating when wanting to maintain a certain speed, come to smooth stops, or gradually accelerate.

My Suggestion:

Create a mod where the keys are like pedals instead of just stop/go...

• When holding down 'w'/'s' keys, the speed of the vehicle gradually accelerates/decelerates over time.
• Perhaps a functions key (like shift) being held while pressing W/S will decrease the time it takes to reach top speed/full stop. (In case you really need to slam on the gas or break in a hurry or emergency).

Other Ideas:

• Create a manual reverse option: S becomes the brake pedal only - must be held or the car will creep forward. To put vehicle into reverse, must press a key to switch gears. 

 

I truly believe this would greatly enhance the experience of GTA for keyboard users - especially when playing LSPDFR. I wish I knew how to code, or I'd be doing this myself =P

Not quite manual transmission (I don't really want to press a button every time i gear change), but make the keyboard respond more like a controller. For instance if you hold the trigger of a controller half way, the car will maintain half speed. In the case of keyboards, this is not possible because as soon as you press W or S it immediately wants to be full speed or fully stopped (I find this causes a lot of traction issues with tires spinning/skidding off of light gas/break taps). Instead, my suggested mod would be similar to how one drives a normal automatic car. You hold down the gas until you achieve the speed you want, then you can release the key with the vehicle maintaining a relatively constant speed. Same goes for braking. If you hold the S key for a split second, it will act as though you are lightly touching the break pedal - unlike how it currently is where pressing S for a split second is the equivalent to slamming your foot on the break for a split second. 

I'm not sure if that clarifies my request anymore or not.

Thanks =)
