------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
This modification enhances keyboard and mouse driving in Grand Theft Auto V, by smoothing out throttle, brake and steering, providing a cruise control feature with auto-follow, and other miscellaneous improvements such as engine control, fueling, etc. Aggressive driving is still possible, either by double tapping W/S, or enabling race mode (detailed user guide included in download).
Important
This mod is known to be incompatible with ikt's Manual Transmission, and Custom Gear Ratios. It may also be incompatible with other similar driving mods.
Features
- Smooth acceleration/deceleration
- Smooth, realistic steering (with steering angle hold outside of vehicle)
- Ignition control (engine stays on when leaving vehicle)
- Fuel consumption and refueling
- Cruise control with auto-follow
- Improved, automatic gearbox
- Optional custom gear ratios
- Compact and informative UI
- Extensive configuration
- Turn and hazard indicators with automatic cutoff
Known Bugs
- Bicycles are causing the game to crash for some people
- UI may flicker when FPS fluctuates a lot
- If Menyoo is installed, AI shifting will not work in certain spots (such as Vespucci beach)
- Please report any further bugs
Installation
1. Ensure you have the following installed:
- ASI Loader (OpenIV > Tools > ASI Manager)
- ScriptHookV (latest version)
- ScriptHookVDotNet (v3.6.0)
2. Navigate to the Grand Theft Auto V main directory.
3. Go to the Scripts folder (part of ScriptHookV .NET, if such folder does not exist, create it).
4. Unpack the archive that was downloaded into the Scripts folder (SmoothDrivingV.dll and the SmoothDrivingV folder should be alongside one-another inside the Scripts folder).

Love this mod! A must have while running LSPDFR. Just one question: When utilizing turn signals, assigning them to mouse buttons causes them only to light up for a fraction of a second. On other turn signal mods, the mouse buttons work fine, but I really like this one because it turns them off automatically. Do you know why this might be? Thanks!

For some odd reason, I have the scripthookvdotnet, scripthookv, openiv fully set up and everything, but the entire smooth driving script won't work. I have the most recent scripthookvdotnet (nightly version) and same with scripthookv. The game isn't crashing or anything its just the mod itself won't work. Both the files are in the scripts folder as needed. Do I need to like load it up or something?

@catharsys64 before the update is on 2.5 now is 0.3 but still "hard".
Trying with nightly.110, but same. idk why.31 de Març de 2026 -
@ikON Try increasing the value to like 5.0. When I tested last night, the braking did seem kinda weak to me but I hadn't touched the game in a while so I can't really be sure.

It stopped working for me today even though the game hadn't been updated since March 11 (Today is April 2, 26). I added lemonui, enable interiors scripts and for some reason it stopped working after that.
I tapped F4 and it says:
[ERROR] Failed to instantiate script SmoothDrivingV.main because constructor threw an exception:System.NullreferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I've tried removing all other scripts, I tried reinstalling both the mod and Scripthookdotnet nightly both ScriptHookVDotNet-v3.7.0-nightly.110 and the previous version of nightly .109. No effect, script wont run anymore. But all other scripts work fine such as radarzoom, enable all interiors, lemonui SHVDN3 and the ifruit addon.
Also I run LSPDFR and RPH but it has worked fine for a year straight idk why it quit on me now I'm lost. It was working this morning but something I added broke it perhaps? But I already tried removing other scripts I had it still won't work.

!!! To make the mod work after the March 2026 update (1.0.3788.0), you have to use the following ScriptHookVDotNet version or later: https://github.com/scripthookvdotnet/scripthookvdotnet-nightly/releases/tag/v3.7.0-nightly.106 !!!
