If I stay still in my car I hear a parking brake apply itself.....

I have no idea whats causing this or how to even release the parking break, I believe FinKone was having this issue too, has anyone figured out which mod causes this or how to release the parking brake?

It is the mod Player Location Display causing it. I don't know how to fix it so I would just remove the mod. Maybe in the ini you can disable it?

I hope so,  Ill have a dig around, Ive never had this issue before...hmmm

Nothing in the .ini file, hmmm

There is a line in the PLD.ini as follows:

[ CONTROL ]
TogglePark = 71

I tried setting it to 0 (since the documentation says doing so will disable it), but it still occasionally sets the parking break. Right now I've just removed the mod.

A real shame, too, since I liked the mod. However, I sincerely disagree with how it is becoming commonplace to add functionality to particular mods beyond what they were initially advertised as doing. There is no need for there to be a parking break or turn signal control on the Player Location Display mod, since all I want it to do is display my location. There are different mods that do just that (and they should remain as different mods).

At any rate, there always needs to be the ability to disable features in mods like this. I have no doubt that Lt.Caine is fixing - or would fix if he doesn't already know - this issue when he is able. Until then, you're better off just removing the mod.

I haven't had this problem before. But then again, as to what Dylan said, I don't use the PLD mod.

Maybe you can delete that line in the ini all together and it will disable it? Anyway I am glad I could help :)

I'm still on 1.00 of PLD cause I don't want the Vehicle Essentials shit.

 

I went back to the most recent version without the vehicles stuff, thanks didn't know I could rollback. I got 1.06.

I have a mod that controls car functionality already :)

Firstly, I want to apologize for any inconveniences caused by PLD.

More on the issue, I think the parking brake problem might be caused by some sort of a conflict with controllers. It never manifested itself during testing, and I use a keyboard and mouse setup which doesn't seem to trigger this particular issue--at least on my end.

The idea behind adding "Vehicle Essentials" to PLD is to have all basic vehicle functions, including location display, seamlessly rolled into one mod. This is in order to facilitate installation and mod management, all the while preventing overlap.

Nevertheless, it is certainly fair to request having choice over a mod's features--particularly as it increases in complexity. Indeed, I too appreciate the ability to choose what things to keep and what to discard. This is why PLD has been updated to V2.18. Via the .ini file, it now offers the user control over which Vehicle Essentials features they wish to use. For those experiencing issues with the parking feature, it is recommended--at least for now--that you set the "ParkingMode" option to off (as it is on by default).

Thank you Lt. Caine, your a God! :)

I updated to the latest version

Thanks for the update, Caine. I think you are right with it being a controller issue. I updated to 2.18 with the "ParkingMode" option off, and it works perfectly.
