  • ABS (Assisted Braking): Slim or Aggressive modes for better braking.
  • Traction Control: Sport or Aggressive modes to manage wheelspin.
  • Launch Control: Manages wheelspin when throttling from 0.
• Manual reverse toggle with the L key.

Changelog

v1.3

• New Features
  
  • Dynamic RPM gauge tiers from 7,000 to 11,000 RPM to dynamically match individual vehicle redlines.
  • IKT's Manual Transmission support: Seamlessly switch the gear data source between native Game detection and IKT's MT.
  • Turn indicators: Added left, right and hazard light signals with a toggle to enable or disable them.
  • Manual engine start audio: Added support to use the native engine start audio during manual engine start.
  • Interruptible ignition sweep: You can now start the engine immediately without waiting for the gauge sweep to complete its full rotation.
  • Reset to Default: Quickly restore your HUD configuration values to their factory settings.
  • Custom license plate: Optional setting configurable directly through FSS.ini.
• Improvements/Changes
  
  • Refined ABS and TCS intervention behaviour and reorganized their assist modes.
  • Launch Control is now processed internally by the script and no longer requires separate modes in the menu.
  • Corrected ABS brake-light behaviour so brake lights illuminate normally while braking, even when ABS is active.
  • Improved Center Hub and gear indicator redline syncing across all supported RPM tiers.
  • Smarter vehicle-state handling: Parked vehicles remain off by default, while NPC-stolen vehicles stay active.
  • Enhanced overall layout handling and configuration stability for the HUD.
• Stability & Known Limitations
  
  • Extensively Tested: This build has undergone prolonged gameplay testing (high-speed driving, hard braking, rapid acceleration, engine cycling, menu usage) across both GTA V Legacy and GTA V Enhanced editions.
  • 8-Speed Transmission Skip (Limitation): On some upgraded 8-speed vehicles, GTA V's native gear detection may skip 7th gear (jumping from 6th to 8th, or 7th showing briefly for 0.5s). This is a native game limitation rather than a speedometer issue. It is recommended to use IKT's Custom Gear Ratio as a workaround for affected vehicles.

v1.2 Legacy & Enhanced support

• New Features
  
  • Controller vibration at the redline is adjustable or can be turned off [Experimental]
  • Gamepad menu control opens the menu with a controller [Experimental]
  • Two speed display modes: classic text or crisp texture digits (both movable and scalable)
  • Hide vanilla HUD removes the default street/vehicle name for a clean view
  • Reload Configuration button applies .ini changes without restarting the game
  • Improved logging with performance profiler
  • Welcome Guide shows your keybinds and file locations the first time you use the mod, reopen it anytime from the menu
• Improvements
  
  • Better ignition sweep
  • Smoother engine-off needle fallback
  • More layout options
  • Gear indicator no longer flickers during quick gear changes
• Stability
  
  • Better optimized
  • Fixed the micro stutters that used to happen when moving sliders or changing settings rapidly

v1.1

• Added support to change between KM/H and MPH modes.
• Improved font for gear position indicator and gauge dials.
• Better Redline Wobble: Needle vibrates like a real fuel cut limiter when you hit max RPM.
• Class Based Sweep Speeds: Supercars sweep faster, normal cars take medium and heavy trucks slower.
• Two Needle Motor Modes: "PMDC" makes the needle fall slowly (old school feel). "Stepper" tracks RPM more precisely.
• Smooth Engine Off Glide: The needle now slides gently back to zero instead of jumping.
• Burnout Mode: Hold accelerate & brake at very low speed and all assists will be disabled temporarily so you can spin the tires freely.
• Refined TCS & Launch Control: Sport mode allows light wheelspin for an aggressive feel. Aggressive mode gives maximum grip.
• Manual Engine Trigger: If you use other realism mods that handle ignition, you can turn off manual start option.
• Cleaner Menu & Logging: Menu labels are now simpler.
