FS25 Real Ignition v1.0.1

Here’s a small modification to make starting the vehicles a bit more realistic.
Bug Fix
– Vehicles could be moved forward and backward in the ignition “On” position without the engine running -> Fixed.
Function:
– A short press of the engine start button turns on the ignition.
– A long press (1 second) of the engine start button starts the engine.
– When the ignition and engine are off, no lights can be turned on, except for the hazard lights.
– When the engine or ignition is turned off, all lights (except the hazard lights) turn off.
I came up with this idea because I usually play with a controller and couldn’t easily use the ignition lock function that was included in the Collector’s Edition.
I’m always open to suggestions or reports of any bugs found.

That's a great idea for a modification to enhance the realism of starting vehicles in FS25! The bug fix regarding the ability to move vehicles forward and backward in the ignition "On" position without the engine running is definitely a necessary improvement.

The proposed functions for the short press and long press of the engine start button to turn on the ignition and start the engine respectively add an additional layer of realism to the gameplay experience. It's thoughtful to consider players who use a controller and may face challenges with the ignition lock function in the Collector's Edition.

Limiting the ability to turn on lights only when the ignition is on or the engine is running, and ensuring all lights (except hazard lights) turn off when the engine or ignition is switched off, further adds to the immersion and attention to detail in the game.

Overall, these modifications enhance the gameplay experience and bring a higher level of realism to vehicle operation in FS25. It's great that you are open to suggestions and bug reports, showing a commitment to continuously improving and refining the game. Players are likely to appreciate these realistic touches that contribute to a more engaging simulation experience.
