Description
Overview
Contextual Car Control lets you perform several actions on your vehicle by using an all-new way of interacting with GTA V: a point-and-click menu that changes based on the current context (known as the Community Contextual Menu API). This means that you can perform these actions with extreme ease, without the need to remember a gajillion hotkeys.
While Contextual Car Control is a mod in its own right, it is also a technology demonstrator for my new Community Contextual Menu API.
Features
- Cruise control with 2 modes ("Normal" and "Soften input" for smoother acceleration / braking)

Configuration
You can modify ContextualCarControl.ini and ContextualMenuAPI.ini to modify hotkeys, turn all features on & off, and more. Detailed info inside each INI file.
Known issues
- The menu will consider that you are pointing at a vehicle when you point at the OUTSIDE of the vehicle. If you point at the windows or the inside of the vehicle, nothing will happen. This is a GTA V limitation.
- Open/close door animations may occasionally get stuck for a few seconds.
- If entering as the passenger takes too long, the character will warp into the passenger seat.
- Trying to enter as a passenger from the driver side of the vehicle will have your character pull out the driver from the vehicle, enter the driver seat, and then switch seats. Good for a few laughs, but will hopefully be fixed in future versions.
- After you turn the engine off using the "Engine OFF" option, you will hear the engine trying to start and your character will complain. This is a GTA V limitation.
- When entering a vehicle that has some window already rolled down, the first time you try to roll that window up, nothing will happen. It will work on the second attempt.
