@8up-local said in About cruise control, here's an idea that makes sense:
@piecekeeper but once it is on to click the right stick will turn it off anyway.
And that's exactly the problem. I want to click the gear lever back out of focus to use the camera while on cruise control. In case it's not clear enough for everyone to understand, I'm gonna cliff.
At the moment here are your two options :
- Use cruise control, lose camera.
- Use camera no cruise control.
Suggestion I made :
Let's have the brakes turn it off instead like an actual car/truck.
People said : I use the brakes to regulate my speed while on cruise control (which I think is fair), maybe a two button combination to turn off cruise control would be great?
So I said yes it would be great actually.
So let's say they did my suggestion, meaning you click down and hold, cruise control turns on gear lever comes into focus, you click again gear lever goes out of focus and suddenly you're on cruise control and looking around at the same time doing the work, and doing it well.
The two button combination is this : If the right thumbstick is clicked down WHILE hitting the brakes, or you click the stick and while it's down hit the brakes, cruise control turns off.
That would mean you can still use the brakes without shutting down cruise control, and could use cruise control with camera at the same time. The fact that it doesn't matter whether the brakes or thumbstick is pressed first means you can react to unforseen consequences by hitting the brakes hard to stop the truck, and once you're stopped on the verge of disaster, click the right thumbstick to turn off cruise control. Want to turn off CC without stopping? Press right stick first then blip the brakes not enough to stop and CC is off and you did not lose any momentum.
Better?
