The survey doesn't contain an option for GTA 5, you might want to add that

@RedBowl
No file was added. Did you forget to add a file?

No need to get all up-close and personal.

Preventing the wheels from locking up mainly helps steering under max possible braking pressure. Depending on the conditions and implementation it may or may not increase or decrease effective braking distance.

Shouldn't be anywhere near that big number of 30% more distance with ABS though (unless on loose surfaces), so that might be something to look into.

I haven't found anything useful to toggle ABS though I did a few experiments with scriptwise ABS.

Okay, take a deep breath and look at what you wrote down.

Hello for the last 8 hours I've been moving files around to see what is what.

Good thing you spent some time, but it's unwise to actually move files to see what happens, unless you know what you're doing and you have backups.

On my pc theres Direct x 12 with all the necessary requirements

GTA V only requires DirectX 11 (or DirectX 10.1) to run, nowhere is DirectX 12 needed.

but once i download a car

Mods (almost) never depend on a DirectX version, especially simple scripts and vehicle mods. You don't need DirectX 12.

then follow the readme text file directions i get to a problem. Can add the folder in update but once i add a text into Dlclist the game dont load. Go to my other game folder the game loads just fine.

Good, you have two game folders. And the game stops loading once you edit dlclist.xml.

So at this point I've just copy the files back over from backup folder to get the game back running. Did they patch this to not work or what else can i try to add cars.? Any suggestions please

Also great, you have backups. Sounds like you haven't figured out what is what yet, so you might want to start reading some starter guides.

For you, you'll want to focus on the OpenIV part. To me it sounds like you just need OpenIV.asi to add add-on cars, but you also might want to take a look at the mods folder method of doing things.

Los Santos is the massive city in GTA V where you start your missions. Did you happen to completely miss it, perchance?

Eh sounds like a driver issue. Just reinstall, is probably easiest

@sfinktah

I noticed this in-game, and just confirmed it on html5gamepad... the Accelerator and the Brake aren't actually separate axes, they're +/- values on the same axis!

You can set to combine/not combine the throttle/brake axes.

Also, I know you talked once on the gtamods forum about an feedback algorithm... not sure if you ever decided on one, but I now have a firmer idea of the values in the CVehicle struct, and I think you could calculate something based on the direction of travel (I'm assuming you're drifting), and the direction the wheels are pointing.

I use a combination of physics heading and where the wheels are pointing now to figure out in what direction to send the force. Basically all cars are set up so the wheels "reset" to straight (if alignment isn't fucked) so the force always tries to push the steering wheel to whereever the least "resistance" is, which is the direction the vehicle is already traveling at.

Implementing this seems to yield the same effects as other racing games and they can do stuff like correct for oversteer (drift) intuitively, so it's probably a good implementation.

@sfinktah
Uh, you gotta look at the simracing guys for good wheels. Apparently Direct Drive wheels are the best (most detail and most power) but are hella expensive.

Not sure about handbrakes but places that sell simracing gear usually also have handbrakes.

Not sure what your no clutch issue is about, but sometimes Windows fucks up and detects the G27 as a Driving Force GT. In that case, re-install the driver.

Generally though it should work fine as long as you plug the wheel into the same USB port.

As for presets - I figured it would be less of a mess if I just allowed everybody to configure it for themselves. G27 having another mapping than G29 or G920, Thrustmasters do their own things, not to speak about Fanatec and other more enthusiast gear like OSW.

@sfinktah
You need to manually assign the axes and buttons in the steering wheel setup menu.

I should probably make a first-load thing that directs users to the setting page.

Moved to Requests and gave a proper topic title.
