GTAVManualTransmission v3.0-beta0

Readme

This isn't release with a binary, just a summation of things to keep track of the changes. The mod is fully working now, with mostly steering wheel support as main added feature, for now only the Logitech wheels. Full feature documentation and usage instructions will be in a later release.

Changelog

• Fully configurable force feedback parameters
• Physics-based force feedback
• Tweaked damper formula
• Fully configurable damage parameters
• Fix various crashes and gear miscalculations
• Fix missing input handling
• Fix neutral not stopping when switching to controller
• Add more constraints to patching the clutch that affects all NPC-cars.

(Un)resolved bugs

• Clutch @ full, or Neutral still affects other traffic when throttle is also pressed.
  • Workaround in .ini

To do

• Consider adding a parameter for frontal collision force feedback or use a high (>1G/9.81m/s^2) hardcoded value?
• Test, test and test!
• Documentation
  • New Readme
  • Feature highlighting
  • Artwork
  • Compile huge changelog from v2.0.2

GTAVManualTransmission v3.0-alpha2

Readme

A second alpha release. Status: It's going nicely. Lots has changed in making the mod working smoothly, most notably proper input detection.

The .ini should be self-explanatory. It's preconfigured for a G27, so other wheels will differ and you should try and find out your own button IDs. Please remark that this is still 0-indexed!

The commented out options haven't been implemented, but these will be available in the non-testing release.

Installation

1. Remove any xinput wrappers or whatever you used for your steering wheel
2. Replace Gears.asi and Gears.ini
3. Change Gears.ini if you don't have the G27
4. (Optional) Install Custom Steering by InfamousSabre for better wheel mapping

Usage

See .ini for controls. Press the throttle on the input you want to use for correct featureset and input handling per device. Keyboard/Mouse, controller and wheel can all be used in the same session.

Changelog

• Fix input readout
• Fix pedal value calculations
• Switch to sequential when a controller is used
• Add button support for wheel
• Add pedal support for simple reverse
• Add clutch requirement for H-shifting
• Changed Gears.ini format and grouping
• Change return to center feel on wheel (can be changed later)

(Un)resolved bugs

• Clutch @ full, or Neutral still affects other traffic.
  • A workaround is included, setting DisableFullClutch = 1 should fix AI at the cost of clutch/neutral being slightly active.

To do for next release

• Force Feedback and FF parameters
• Clutch, Damage and Stalling parameters

GTAVManualTransmission v3.0-alpha

Readme

A quick Alpha release before sleeping. Status is: It works, but just barely.

To toggle between H-shifting and sequential, press the ] button on keyboard OR the bottom right button on a G27 steering wheel, or Button 22 (0-indexed: 21) on your wheel.

If you have a G27, things should "just work". Other users might have problems with shifters, pedals, buttons etc. Find the correct buttons for your wheel and change them in Gears.ini. Beware, these are 0-indexed!

Please report back at GTAForums or on GTA5-Mods.com with "@ikt" so I get notified.

Installation

1. Remove any xinput wrappers or whatever you used for your steering wheel
2. Replace Gears.asi and Gears.ini
3. Change Gears.ini if you don't have the G27
4. (Optional) Install Custom Steering by InfamousSabre for better wheel mapping

Changelog

• Change separate neutral to be in between R and 1st: R-N-1-2-3... for sequential shifting.
• Change .ini format
• Add steering wheel support: No more xinput wrappers!
  • Currently only my G27 has been tested
  • Damper at low speeds: Less at higher speeds
  • Self-centering spring at higher speeds
• Add throttle/brake support: No more xinput wrappers!
  • Currently only my G27 has been tested in RealReverse mode
• Add wheel sequential shifting
• Add wheel H-shifter shifting
  • Proper neutral gear when not in a gear

Unresolved bugs

• Clutch @ full, or Neutral still affects other traffic

To do for next release

• Clean up this mess
• Force Feedback and FF parameters
• Add handbrake
• Add horn, light switch support
• Add basic camera features (look back, change view) support
• Think of releasing the steering wheel support as separate mods (comments welcome @ GTAForums)
• Probably some other stuff I forgot

GTAVManualTransmission v2.1-alpha

Changelog

• Add Logitech Wheel support

If you're using an emulator, please disable it since it might take over the wheel and the mod can't see it.
