✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge variety: 53 example vehicles covering everything from cars to tanks and VTOL aircraft.
- Community-approved with 817 endorsements and over 43k downloads.
- Open-source means you can tweak or learn from the code, and it's actively maintained (last updated Nov 2024).
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Lenny's Mod Loader and AB ScriptHook, plus Vulkan graphics mode — that's a specific setup that might clash with other mods or settings.
- Some models cause black screens on low texture settings, so you might need to crank up your graphics.
- Potential compatibility risk with other script mods that use the same hotkeys or modify vehicle spawning.
For RDR2 players who want to tear around the Wild West in a jet or tank. If you're into vehicle chaos and modding your game with custom rides, this is a must-have. Skip if you're not comfortable installing script mods or if you're on DirectX 12 — you'll need Vulkan.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your graphics API is set to Vulkan in the game settings, or the mod won't work.
- If you get a black screen on low texture settings, bump up your texture quality before loading the mod.
- Use the included example vehicles as templates to learn how to add your own custom rides.
