Farming Simulator 2019: Smoother steering with the key board and more...

VehicleControlAddon for Farming Simulator 2022

Status

Currenty, the lane guidance of VCA is deactivated if the vehicle has GPS configured. The reason is that lane guidance requires several action bindings and I try to avoid mod conflicts.

After the stress about GPS mod I decided to take a break.

Newest features

Snap direction has been renamed to lane guidance. It is possible to swtich to left or right reverse guidance lane. Here are the lane guidance key bindings:

• LCtrl+W: (de-)activate lane guidane on nearest lane
• LCtrl+LAlt+W: detect width and offset of attached implements
• LAlt+W: Disable lane guidance
• LCtrl+A / LCtrl+D: shift by one lane to the left / right
• LAlt+A / LAlt+D: switch to left / right reverse lane. You can specify the number of lanes to skip in the settings menu. There is no need to deactivate lane guidance for the turn. If you change direction, then the vehicle should steer into the right direction. If you deactivated guidance steering, then you can use LCtrl+S to reactivate it.
• LCtrl+S: Reactivate last guidance lane

Some settings are display only in MP

In multiplayer games only the master user (aka administrator) can change global settings with key combination LCtrl+LAtr+C.

modSettings

Global settings are stored in the savegame and in modSettings/vehicleControlAddon.xml. Dedi servers will save the global settings in the savegame only.

Motivation

Although I have a steering wheel, but almost always play with the keyboard. On winding roads, I am again and again landed in the ditch in front of nights or power poles.
