Vehicle Control

[jhughes]

Please, Please, Please .. just make it simple to drive the %^$# cars.

Instead of the complexity for mouse driving, just add this as an option (Just like walking).

If I click and hold (long press) the left mouse button, while it is long pressed, my wheels turn towards the cursor .. if I let go of the mouse button, the wheels are straight. It does not need to do anything to the throttle .. W and S can still increase and decrease throttle. I can then just put the cursor slightly in front of the car (center of the hood) .. long press and that will keep the car going straight. If the car's track is slightly misaligned to the actual road ... the car will not go into the other lane and I don't need to shift back and forth like a drunk driver pressing A and D. The centerline of the car just stays pointing where my cursor is WHILE LONGPRESSING. This could not be simpler.

The problem with the driving is that you are never running parallel to the road in your car .. you are always a fraction off .. so you have to hunt back and forth in the lane all the time., This is ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS .. I stopped playing this game roight after 0.2 because driving sucks the fun out of the game. It is no more fun now.

either make the cars 'stay in the laned' while you are in there and not actively steering or give a very simple mechanism to keep the car in the damn lane so it does not freakin drift.

This is BY FAR the worst vehicle control I have seen in a game of any kind .. EVER. Come on man. Jeez.

The feedback on vehicle control is clear received and surely will see more improvements in the future. EA 0.3 was definably a step in the good direction for sure! But that didn't mean everything was done and set final, far from that.

So yes, expect more improvements in the future on the driveability of the vehicles.

Just to make sure you know - the mouse driving is an option. You can turn it on or off!

Otherwise, yes driving will be much improved! The creator has some plans for an update that should solve most of your concerns, and as RPG said, many aspects of handling were improved, but vehicle control itself is still a work in progress!

In addition, the map is still quite small, so you can easily play with the alternative taxi, e-scooter, subway and walking. I agree with you about the controls and small parking distances (that's where I got the most damage). As a suggestion, I would recommend building a few taxi stands. Because sometimes I had to look for a long time for one. Especially on the streets that lead out of the districts nothing is moving. It would also be recommended here that there are no roadblocks, computer-controlled vehicles can drive there, and a colored boundary line for the players so that they can't go any further. That would remove the strange driving behavior on the southern road area. Wherever they turn.

Vehicle damage has been a significant expense for me even when I try to be careful. I have come to rely on taxi service, but they can be hard to find on the narrow roads so I always hoof it to an avenue to find one. It would be nice if we could call for a taxi to pick us up (or Uber).

The car is so bad I never use it and just take cabs instead. Being able to call taxis/car services would be awesome and realistic.

Hello! Gonna need a lot more than that!

Did you load the game while you were already on a scooter?

What version are you playing?

Have you tried reloading and trying again?
