It's a little bit jarring however in that you have to retype the command to adjust it, and you can also /speedlimiter 0. Yes the /spidlimiter works fine as I've mentioned in my previous comment - I was referring to the cruise control feature. It was implied that we already have it in place, and given the fact a suggestion thread was posted about the very same thing I figured we should see if it is actually already implemented in-game or not.

Ah, I was thinking /speedlimiter was cruise control but turns out I've completely missed the ball. As far as I am aware there is no cruise control feature in-game, but the /speedlimiter command could do with looking at to integrate the two systems together. Link to comment
Franelli Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Alright that sounds good. It would be nice if more community members could give their feedback regarding the suggestion before deciding what to do with it. 1 Link to comment
BigDoubleOG Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 If you guys make it cmd wise then its useless, make the cruise control button wise like pressing z and its activated Link to comment
Spartan_old Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 This would be a really handy feature to have! I used to use the speedlimiter, but it seemed a bit buggy turning it on and off. Also, a cruise control that you can use with a hot key would be a much better ideas to replace the speedlimiter. Link to comment
Franelli Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The speed limiter & the cruise control feature are two completely different things. While the speed limiter helps you maintain a fixed speed so you do not go over the limit you've set - the cruise control supports automatic acceleration & driving without the need to hit the gas pedal (or press 'W' in-game). You will still need to manually steer with both options. Just felt the need to clear that up as it seems many confuse these two features with each other! 1 Link to comment
Cobra Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I mean, I like the speedlimiter as well. It's useful for limiting yourself to a speed limit but also being able to slow down for bends and city driving. Yet cruise control would be ideal for maintaining a constant speed for long-distances and highway/freeway driving and events like parades/convoys. I think cruise control should be implemented alongside speedlimiter. Edited December 8, 2018 by Cobra Link to comment

While some suggest it's a bit buggy - I've been using it for a while and have not encountered any issues with it. Link to comment

While some suggest it's a bit buggy - I've been using it for a while and have not encountered any issues with it. Sorry I didn't word that properly. Corrected to "I think cruise control should be implemented alongside speedlimiter. " I use it regularly as well for cruising, city driving and for being a law-abiding citizen. I haven't encountered any bugs either myself. If anything I think it makes people better drivers, they have more time and focus on their steering and watching the road rather than going too fast and losing it. It certainly makes me drive more smoothly. Link to comment
Smilesville Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Here I thought this was a suggestion to implement the NPC taxi script from single player to allow a character to drive to a destination autonomously while adhering to traffic laws - because I'd be all for that. My experience is that traveling in one direction constantly leaves you open to crash into things - often enough to make implementing the feature semi-useless. Link to comment
