What does the mod do?
- Press SHIFT+T to turn on/off the character torch (head light).
- Press SHIFT+R to flip the rover when it is flipped. No need to wait for the tooltip to be displayed.

- Turn off the "head look". By default, your character looks in the direction of the mouse (newPawn.bEnableHeadlook).
- Mouse zoom. Zoom in/out with less mouse wheel scrolling. Default: To zoom fully, you have to scroll the wheel about approximately 16 times. Modded: it's just 5 times.
- Activates a light under the Terrain Tool. It is normally only activated in Creative mode.
- Sets a pitch limit for the driving camera (PitchControlModifier).
Troubleshooting
Known issues
- The game can crash at launch. This is probably an issue with UE4SS, I can't fix it.
You can see the logs in UE4SS.log or in the UE4SS GUI Console.
You can enable the UE4SS GUI Console in UE4SS-settings.ini in the section.
