The VK hoptkeys work now. However, the issue wit hthe helicopters still persists. Engine toggle for land vehicles works, then I step in a heli, disable autostart works, engine toggle no longer works, I press accelerate, heli engine turns on, I land heli and try to toggle engine off, does not work, and then, for some reason, the engine toggle stops working for land vehicles aswell... Also when toggling the land veh engine off (while it still works), the character animations are bugged. Almost as if the character flickers between idle sitting animation and wheel turning anims (using the auto center wheels patch fix).

@DirtSpray I'm putting this in my notes and will look into it. I’ll go ahead and install the Advanced Persistence mod to isolate what’s actually happening. My suspicion is that the engine toggle key issue is something minor—likely a small oversight that’s easy to miss. Thanks for your telling me all of your issues! \\ :)

@3_Washing_Machines Happy to help. :)

please dont abandon this mod bro! havent installed yet becuz of the issues yall are talking abt, but if you fix those me and alot of other people will be very grateful! much love

planes strange behavior, pressing Z turn engine on, but when i free key Z and engine back to off state.

@dawanklord I'm not abandoning this mod. The current script works well, but it's limited by what SHVDN allows. Lately I've been diving deeper into debugging and native-level work, and I'm in the process of rewriting the mod as an .ASI plugin. This should remove those limitations and allow for a much more robust implementation.

Expect version 2.0 in the next couple of weeks.

@gtk87 I'll look into it.

@3_Washing_Machines Hey bro, I wanted to tell you that you have a really nice profile picture, bro. Actually, I first met you on GTA 5 Mods, and I also met you on Nexus Mods. Thanks for being so active and creative. You have a beautiful dog, and I was wondering if I could help you with the Player Location Display (PLD) compatibility. When I press the Z key, the engine turns off, and if I press it again, it turns back on. It's a minor change we should make, bro. We have to wait for the script hook v to be updated because GTA 5 doesn't support the current version of script hook v. Thanks for being so active in this community, bro. Cheers!

@3_Washing_Machines Hey, no, not exactly. I guess I didn't explain it well. When I'm in a vehicle and I want to press the Z key to zoom in on the map (which is also done with PLD), the two functions combine. Does that make sense? When I'm in a car and I press the Z key, the map expands, but the car's engine turns off. That's because the engine is controlled by the Z key, which turns the car on and off. I imagine that even without PLD, if I want to zoom, the engine will still turn off when I press the Z key. It's not a conflict or anything, but if you want, we can use a different key to turn the engine on and off. The game uses the Z key for the expanded map function. Just wanted to let you know, bro. Hope I'm not bothering you. Thanks a lot, bro.❤️

@Trevor789FD Just change the engine toggle key to something other than Z in the ini. PLD works great with this mod.

@3_Washing_Machines Okay bro, thanks a lot for the help, I honestly hadn't thought about the ini file. Thanks again bro, sending you a big hug, greetings 😘

Tried the new update. I simply do not understand, at first everything works fine, then after casually playing for 20-30 minutes the engine toggle function simply stops working. I don't know what it is. This is the last thing the log file showed: [20:54:56] [20260319-200232-e976e44d] INFO: Entry armed. veh=648713 engine was OFF -> enforcing OFF for 900ms.

@DirtSpray Thanks for the log, I'll let you know what I come up with.

@3_Washing_Machines Ok. :)

@DirtSpray Sorry for the late response. The issue should be fixed now. I haven’t been able to reproduce it on v2.0.1, so I think it’s safe to say it’s resolved on my end.

@3_Washing_Machines Hey I recently saw all the mods you made and man they're very good. Fixing and improving stuff no one else did is a genius move, no joke/sarcasm. If you can, can you implement a PS3/Xbox 360 style wasted delay, similar to mods like "Watch your Death" or "Old-Gen Wasted Screen Logic"? It would be nice to see a mod that's better than those while working in Enhanced.

Tested it a few days ago! Man! I love you, the best engine management mod ever! I did a longplay session and everything worked the whole time, there was, however one engine toggle desync while flying a Cargobob helicopter, but after endtering a car, the toggle began working again. 6/5 stars!!!

Pretty cool script, better than most other that do the same. Will continue to use it. By the way, I noticed that when you're inside a vehicle the dashboard and stuff is lit up, but upon exiting the car they stop being lit up - even with the engine on. Since you were able to figure out how to keep helicopters on could you do the same with this if possible?

@DirtSpray I'm really glad you like it! Also thanks much for contributing to this mod, without you some issues likely would've still persisted. I’ll see what I can figure out about the toggle desync; I worry about touching functions because I keep bringing the issue back somehow.

@User20192910291 Oh it's possible... I'll let you know when I release the next update!

@3_Washing_Machines Always happy to help. Also good luck on the future updates. And if touching functions brings back desync, is it not possible to just reveert back to a previous version?
