changelog.md 1/29/2023

This happens since GTA V build 2545. Previous versions are unaffected.

changelog.md 1/29/2023

5.0.0
I really should've incremented major/minor versions instead of patches for those older releases that had a ton
of new stuff. Oh well. Might as well start now!

New features

Adaptive all-wheel drive

This new feature, under Driving Assists, simulates all kinds of all-wheel-drive systems. The torque split (front
drive bias) is updated in real-time depending on grip, understeer or oversteer. This very much affects the
driving characteristics, so it's wise to just use through the vehicle-specific configs.

For steering wheels and keyboards, the drive bias can be adjusted in real-time with hotkeys, to simulate
manual AWD systems like in the old Subaru Impreza STi.

Demo: Skyline GT-R R32 - ATTESA E-TS test, using an early implementation.

The feature requires the Handling Replacement library.

Launch control

Launch control, also known as two-step holds the RPM at a set value. When used with Turbo Fix x.y.z, it helps
spool up the turbo while maintaining a good RPM to launch. With the right Turbo Fix settings, many
explosions can be had.

Demo: Launch control and anti-lag test

To use launch control:

1. Stop the car and engage first gear

2. Hold the brakes
3. Apply throttle
4. Release the brakes to launch!

While launch control limits the revs, it also manages the clutch for you, so you can safely remove your foot or
finger from the clutch pedal.

Launch control can be turned off and on with a hotkey/button for any input.

Vehicle Configuration improvements

Per-vehicle configurations has been completely reworked internally. Changes in the menu now properly affect
and save for the current active configuration.

New configurations can be created in-game too. Improvements in selectively saving individual options now
enable you to "touch" a setting, have it saved to the file, and share it easily.

Almost all settings carry over, save for a few small things that have been moved, removed and/or renamed.
Most significantly is the plate-matching: Spaces are significant now. Check Information.txt for more info.
