Manual Transmission 5.7.0
🕑 Added 2025-01-04 23:55:45 +0000 UTC
First of all, thank you for your incredible support!
I've decided to make future Patreon posts public, starting with this post. My content is only usable with the generated license, and the scripts themselves are available through this projects' website, so this makes knowing what I'm doing and what's available easier to find :)
Now about the update and its contents:
Demo mode
A demo mode has been added in this update. This demo runs for 15 minutes before disabling itself, and can be activated 4 times per game session. This demo mode enables the full script, so you can check if your wheel properly works with this script and take other features for a test drive.
Surface force feedback effects
While GTA V's world is quite detailed, it also contains large patches of "offroad" materials which are physically perfectly flat. Force feedback now responds to the surface the vehicle is driving on, giving a surface-dependent rumble through the steering wheel. If you're interested or want to play around with settings, the new surface_feedback.ini file contains the settings per material, and you can globally turn up or turn down the new effect.
Unrecognized devices
After system or driver updates, or after moving around devices on USB ports, the script used to not recognize previously set up devices anymore. While this was fixable through digging around in Gears.log and setting the new IDs in settings_wheel.ini, this was cumbersome. Starting with this new update, additional information about the set up devices is saved, and will be used on future startups to verify and update the new device IDs.
This will only be effective from 5.7.0 onwards, so if you're already actively having this issue, it may not immediately resolve itself after installing.
Textual improvements
More interactive descriptions are now present for settings affected by "Enhanced Steering" to make enabling or disabling synced steering animations easier.
Names and descriptions of force feedback settings have been changed to better represent what they do, such as "Detail effect multiplier" becoming "Suspension FFB strength" and more.
Internal improvements
Ever since I added support for DirectInput wheels some 8 years ago, the code has mostly been left alone if stuff didn't break. There were a few peculiarities in how the devices and force feedback were set up, which may have caused some issues with some wheels. Almost all of that is now rewritten to be more stable and maintainable.
As settings have their defaults set internally, the settings are removed from the .ini files included with the release archive. On first launch of the game, these will be populated, if you still prefer to poke around in Notepad and want to edit settings from scratch. Note that you do not have to replace any files for an update!
For update instructions and other information, check the online readme or the readme pdf in the release archive.

When the window with the Patreon login opens, please read everything and press "Allow" to allow the License Generator to connect with Patreon to check if you're eligible. "Application not authorized" happens if the application either gets denied or it can't reach Patreon somehow.

Application not authorized. Authorization was probably denied. Press enter to exit. It says so, please authorize me, I paid money after all.

The page that the license creator wants to open does not open in Turkey. Can you help me with this?

After joining Patreon you should've gotten the welcome note which contains links to the license generator and it's readme. You run those to generate a license.

I already joined Patreon by paying $6. When I download the Manual Transmission 5.7.0 file and install it in the game folder, it appears and plays as a demo version in the game, not as a full version. I don't quite understand what you mean.
ikt
You run the license generator.

The demo is just there for deciding if you want to join the Patreon membership or not. The script *is* already the full version and you just use the license generator to activate it. Please read the FAQ and license generator readme.

Hi, could you please head to Discord and include log files (Gears.log and settings_wheel.ini) and your hardware configuration? (What handbrake and how is it connected, directly or through a wheel base, etc) That'd give me more info to troubleshoot. I may also just be able to hand you something to get the handbrake working in the meantime, I think I figured out what's wrong.

Can't configure handbrake in analog input setup . Had to downgrade to previous version

No problem I will join and ask in the discord thanks for the reply
ikt
For actual issues you'd better join the Discord, head to the #issues channel and state your issue there, including all the log files that are asked. I can't be of help here on Patreon.
SouthSide Development

The welcome note has many useful links that explain how things work. You should read those.
