BeamNG Mod: Hands on The Wheel V0.3.0 0.40

The HOTW mod adds a visible, animated driver to BeamNG.drive: he has a fully rendered body, arms that follow the steering wheel’s movements, and legs that interact with the pedals.
Beta version 0.3.0 introduces character selection, color customization, head movements, improved pedal support, and the ability to save individual configurations. Support for BeamNG.drive 0.40 and the Enhanced Interior Camera mod has also been added, along with additional calibrations and further performance improvements.

Landing Settings

  • Open the Pause menu → “Mods” → “HOTW Settings” and enable Editing mode on the tab you want to configure.
  • Body: Select the driver’s position and adjust the bend and width of the elbows. After changing any of the elbow sliders, first click “Apply,” then “Save.”
  • Hands: Adjust the position and rotation of each hand individually.
  • Feet: Adjust the position and rotation of each foot to operate the gas, brake, and clutch pedals (if the vehicle has them).
  • Character: Select a character and customize their clothing, accessories, and skin and hair colors. To confirm a color change, click “Apply Color.”
  • Click “Save” to save your settings, or “Cancel” to discard the changes you’ve made.

Body, arm, leg, and character configurations are saved independently of one another. The body position is saved for each vehicle model, arm settings for each steering wheel, and leg settings for each pedal. The character selection is saved separately, and the color settings chosen for that character are also saved.
For vehicles that use the same steering wheel, the hand position settings will be shared. Standard calibrations are provided, but some vehicles or configurations may require manual adjustment.
Foot position is tied to the vehicle’s pedal animation; the system uses either standard calibrations or the settings you specify. If the feet are displayed incorrectly, use the “Feet” section to adjust them manually.
You can also individually enable or disable the display of the body, head, arms, and hands. In the cockpit view mode (including the “Enhanced Interior Camera”), the character’s head is automatically hidden so as not to obstruct your view. In first-person view, the character’s head movements follow the direction of your gaze, while in third-person views, the character’s head turns toward the camera.
