Description:
Just a small improvement to make driving more comfortable:
Currently, you have to hold down the left mouse button the entire time to steer, which can be tiring. I’ve added a simple toggle system that switches between driving mode and normal mode by pressing the middle mouse button.
If you have a key bound to the middle mouse button, you may want to change it to avoid conflicts.
When your mouse is set to "Vehicle" mode in the settings, simply click the middle mouse button once to activate mouse-driven steering. After that, you no longer need to hold down the left click — you can freely control the steering with your mouse.
Note: To shoot while inside a vehicle, you’ll still need to hold the right mouse button. This allows you to aim and steer simultaneously using the A and D keys.
Note: When you press the middle mouse button and lock in steering mode, the soft steering mode for the A, D buttons stops and returns to the game's default mode. This is exactly where I couldn't activate the soft steering system while driving with the mouse, but all the rest of the script processes work in this mode.
The logic I implemented might not be perfect, but I’m not an expert and didn’t want to make too many changes. My only goal was to help players who prefer using the mouse for driving — and this has been a big help for many.
I hope the original developer considers integrating a similar or even better version of this system in the future.
I also tried to implement a soft steering system for mouse-based driving, but due to limited knowledge and potential mouse input interference, I wasn’t able to get it working properly. I hope the original developer can add this feature smoothly in the future.
Hope this helps someone! 😊

Update credits
Huge credit to Lieutenant Dan for creating this fantastic mod — it's a game-changer for keyboard and mouse players. Thanks also to catharsys64 for keeping it alive with the previous update.
This version includes all prior fixes and adds a new quality-of-life feature: toggle-based mouse steering mode, giving you more control over how you drive. It’s perfect for those who prefer not to hold down a key to steer.
If either original developer ever returns, I’ll gladly step aside. This is just a small continuation to keep a great mod running smoothly in the meantime.

the brake doesn't work well, it takes a while to stop, if you fix it, it will be fine
@kaduloko
In the SmoothDrivingV folder, open the Driving.ini file with Notepad and you can adjust the values for brake, throttle, etc.
Increase this value to, for example, 3 or 4
TargetBrakeDeceleration=2.5
u cant move backwards
@supergamer777
While holding down the S key, press the spacebar to enter reverse mode.
I need to add a description file, sorry :)
This is nice, would be great if you could do the same toggle for auto/mechanic transmission and make Smooth Driving V not touch blinkers at all (e.g. Autodrive mod doesn't use blinkers when paired with Smooth Driving)
@yadaweg
Thank you for your comment. I understand your first idea and it is very practical. I will definitely do it if I can. But I did not fully understand your second request.
@patrio basically Smooth Driving messes up with player character usage of blinkers when you toggle autodrive
@yadaweg
I just changed the steering mode of the wheels to toggle mode with one line of code. The problem you mention is from the original version and I have no knowledge about it.
Idk why but it makes my game crash the moment i open it :/
