Vettura

Vettura 1.1.0 — easier driving, in-game settings, a new Road Planner with road templates, and opening parts and single-seat vehicles for packs.

Full changelog: https://vettura.staticgrove.net/en/player/changelog

Driving

• Hold W to start and drive (on by default): hold W with the engine off and the key turns and the engine cranks, then drive off.
• Auto shift (on by default), manual cars included. R / F work as paddles; hold S at a stop for reverse.
• Driving assists: ABS, traction and stability control on for every car (switch to "Simulation" for only what the car has).
• Steering is quicker and follows the car's real direction of travel; tighter full lock at low speed (T15 turning circle 5.9 m → 4.6 m).
• Fixed: the steering wheel locking up at high speed.

In-game settings (new)

• Vettura button left of "Mods" in the pause menu, or Config in the mod list.
• Gearbox, hold W to start, driving style, dashboard style, km/h or mph, key hints, cab prompts, rain, shadows.

Road Planner, third version

• Build roads like Create builds tracks: set a start, look where the road should go, use again. It fills and cuts the ground along the way, carries on from existing roads, and can widen roads you already built.
• Road templates (press B): lay a short stretch of road by hand, save it, and every road after that is laid with its lane lines, kerbs, pavements, barriers and lamps, smoothly along curves and slopes. Templates are saved in vettura/road_templates and can be shared.
• Hologram preview of the finished road, red when it cannot be built.
• Edit before building: drag points and handles, add points with middle-click, any angle. Press Enter or right-click the road to build.
• Fix a road you built wrong: with no start, look at a built piece and press modifier + right-click to edit it again and replace it.
• Roads follow the lie of the land at their ends, so long climbs built piece by piece are smooth; cuts into hills are cleared to open sky with sides flush along the road edge.
• Junctions: new road merges into old road cells, branches meet curves flush, crossings are laid on top.
• Sneak actions moved to a modifier key (left Alt by default), so you don't sink while flying.
• Long roads in the preview no longer drop the frame rate.

Items and HUD

• Vehicle spawners are 3D miniatures of their car. The key goes straight into your inventory.
• Vehicle status is a see-through silhouette with tyres and seat squares.
• Cab prompts no longer show in third person or above a set speed in first person.

Graphics, sound and fixes

• Windshield rain: blown along the glass at speed, drops creep down naturally, fine beads in heavy rain.
• Replay Mod: lamps and drivers no longer judder.
• Doors can be opened on an overturned vehicle.
• Petrol cars make a sound when the key turns; open cockpits are no longer muffled.

Removed for now

• Heater and air conditioning (unfinished). Body rust and the spawner's wear and key-location options (coming back later; saved values are kept).

For pack authors

• Opening parts (layout.openings): doors, lids and gates with hinges, hit boxes, sounds and collision.
• Single-seat vehicles, doors optional; seats get door and scale.
• Ignition position (layout.ignition), spawner miniatures (make_vehicle_mini.py, iconPaint).
• Details on the wiki: https://vettura.staticgrove.net/en/

Known issue

• Raised parts of a template (kerbs, pavements) stay where roads cross, leaving a step for the road crossing it.
