# Changelog

All notable changes to Roadster X. Versions follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org).

## [Unreleased]

## [1.0.1] - 2026-10-18

A new body. Driving, controls, sounds, settings and handling are the same as 1.0.0: only the car's model file
changes, and its size, weight, collision, wheels and two seats stay as they were.

### Changed

- Reworked body:
  - softer panels; the headlights sit in the light bar across the nose, with a black nose below it; a sealed
    windscreen;
  - a deep front indent under the light bar, white corner guards beside it and a lip below;
  - side thruster slots and flush side jets;
  - slanted door seams, a black B-pillar and a thin sill band;
  - a body-colour rear wing with larger endplates on swan-neck arms;
  - a rebuilt rear end: the tail endplates sit inside the tail corners, the sails lie flush on the deck, and the
    rear quarter windows follow new lines with a body-colour frame.
- Credits: the author is listed as Penandpaerdamn.

## [1.0.0] - 2026-10-18

First public release.

### Added

- Roadster X, an add-on car (`roadsterx`) for GTA IV: The Complete Edition 1.2.0.59. No stock car is replaced.
- Two-seat cabin with butterfly doors: the driver and one passenger.
- Jump: tap to hop over traffic; hold to keep rising, so the hold sets the height, then let go to drop onto
  the soft landing.
- Hover and fly on ten cold-gas thrusters: double-tap to hover, then climb (jump button, accelerator, or look
  up to climb straight up), descend, travel and boost. Double-tap again to drop; the thrusters catch the car
  just above the ground. In the air, one press of the jump button fires the jets again.
- Air tricks (flips, rolls, spins), kickflips on the road, and quick 180 and 360 spins.
- Soft landings for jumps, ramp jumps and ledge drops.
- Turn smoothly on the spot from a standstill (push further to turn faster), and powered drifts when moving.
- Active rear wing (Auto, Downforce, Airbrake, Stowed) and speed-scaled downforce with fan suction.
- Water rescue: the thrusters lift the car back out of water (can be turned off).
- On-screen systems panel with gauges and the controls that matter right now.
- Original synthesized sounds: thrusters, wing servo, doors and motor.
- Every setting in `plugins/RoadsterX.ini`, reloadable while you play.

### Known issues

- One passenger only (it's a two-seater), and companions can take a moment at the butterfly doors.
- Developed and tested on a Mac with CrossOver. Windows should behave the same; please report anything that doesn't.
