Steering Lock

Steering Lock

Enhance your vehicle control by locking it to a compass heading with gentle, persistent correction. Compatible with any steerable vehicle.

Key Features:

• Unbound Keys: All keys are unbound by default. Assign them in the in-game Controls menu under 'Steering Lock'.
• Actions / Keybinds:
  • Activate / Deactivate: Toggle the steering lock on or off.
  • Cycle Heading Preset: Cycle through 0 / 90 / 180 / 270 degrees.
  • Clear Heading: Clear the preselected heading and disable the HUD overlay.
  • Get Current Heading: Capture the vehicle's current compass heading.
  • Fine Adjust Heading +0.1 deg: Nudge the target heading clockwise (hold to select faster).
  • Fine Adjust Heading -0.1 deg: Nudge the target heading counter-clockwise (hold to select faster).
  • Reposition HUD: Move the HUD display to a different location.

Usage:

Set a heading using the preset cycle or by capturing the current heading. Fine-tune the heading with +/- adjustments if needed. Activate to lock to that heading. The heading is remembered when deactivated, allowing you to resume without re-setting it. Works optimally at lower speeds, minimizing overcompensation and wobbling at high speeds.

Reverse Lock Functionality:

The lock stays active while reversing too! The steering correction automatically inverts, keeping the vehicle on the same heading backward along the same line. Ideal for tasks like tight silage compacting, tool work, row tasks, and backing into unloaders, trailers, or parking spots without losing your heading. To maneuver freely, deactivate first—your heading stays remembered, and one press of Activate re-engages the lock.

HUD Reposition:

Press the Reposition HUD key to enter reposition mode. The mouse cursor appears automatically, with the reposition box. Move the mouse to place the HUD, then LEFT-CLICK to save.
