Usage
Menu opening:
Press [{ (US layout) (right of the “P” on most QWERTY keyboards)
Enter the “mtmenu” cheat (without quotes)
Press RB + B on your controller

Feel free to change the menu keys and buttons to something more convenient! The default layout is for US-layout keyboards. You’ll want to edit settings_menu.ini.
Recommended mods
Gameplay and driving:
A handling mod, essential for wheels with force feedback! Check the handling section below.
Custom Gear Ratios: Essential if you have cars with more than 6 gears, and allows matching gear ratios with the real car counterparts.
Turbo Fix: A quicker, more realistic turbo response.
Dial Accuracy Fix: Map the dashboard speedometer dials to fit your real speed, for more immersion.
ACSPatch: Keep wheels turned when exiting cars
Speedometers with proper gears and revs:
Speedometer by LeFix (maintained by me)
NFS Gauge by XMOD
NFSU Speedometer (includes a turbo gauge!)
Any ScriptHookVDotNet-based speedometer with gears and revs
Scripts that counter the power loss while drifting or sliding (also mitigated by the LSD):
InversePower
True Realistic Driving V: Script-based physics
Stop!Powercutting: InversePower alternative
InverseTorque: InversePower alternative
Handling mods
The default grip levels cause the wheel to bounce left and right because they’re too grippy.
These handlings have reduced grip to realistic levels, and are essential for playing with a wheel.
Realistic Driving V by killatomate
Aquaphobic’s Realistic Handling Pack
Lore Friendly Handling Pack by Eddlm
Realish Handling Pack by Eddlm
Generally, a lateral grip of about 1.0 should do well. You can use others – these are just the ones I’ve used and produced satisfying results.
Troubleshooting
ALWAYS include the following (use pastebin or something similar to post the files):
ManualTransmission/Gears.log
ManualTransmission/settings_general.ini
ManualTransmission/settings_wheel.ini
What kind of inputs (wheel/controller/keyboard) you’re using
What you already tried to do
Incompatibilities with other mods: Pinpoint the issue and provide logs.
Known bugs and problems
Wheel force feedback is too responsive (bounces left/right on straight roads)
Install one of the handling mods referred to above
Reduce “Anti-dead force” in force feedback menu
Crashes with a Logitech G920 and ScriptHookVDotNet v2
Workaround 1: Launch the game using RagePluginHook (Found by BULLFAYCE)
Workaround 2: Remove ScriptHookVDotNet
(Maybe) fix: Compile project with /MTd instead of /MT – y’all G920 users on 4.7.1 never let me know if this worked so I reverted this back to /MT in 4.8.0 and newer
Crashes with newer Logitech wheels since May 27th
Possibly caused by G Hub update. Issue currently being investigated. Workarounds:
Downgrade to an older G Hub version, before 2021.5.
Wheel sticks to one side and/or brake/throttle stuck
Prevent: Pause before alt-tabbing. Do not alt-tab before the game finished loading.
Workaround: Try switching the mod off and on again.
Fix: Wait a bit after alt-tabbing back, the wheel should reinit on refocus
Wheel is not detected or doesn’t work properly
Check if your drivers are up to date and the wheel works for other games
Check if some other program isn’t using your wheel (x360ce, etc)
Check if the wheel is detected in Gears.log (in the ManualTransmission folder)
If using Steam: Fix: Steam Big Picture > Settings > Controller Settings > Uncheck Generic Gamepad Configuration Support (Found by Kaerali)
If after the Steam fix, it does show in the log file, but registering an input is still not effective, restart Steam and/or your computer
Try another USB port!
Camera is being weird (in VR)
Developer options -> Compatibility settings -> Disable FPV camera
