Slow Roads Control Tweaks
Extra driving controls for Slow Roads: mouse throttle and brake, steering that stays where you leave it, and a Ctrl key to pause the mouse.
Needs a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. Updates install automatically.
What it adds
Mouse throttle and brake
Move the mouse above the screen center to accelerate and below to brake. The farther you move it, the more power you get. Clicks still work.
No steering re-center
With keyboard steering, the wheels stay at their angle when you let go of the steer keys.
Hold Ctrl to pause the mouse
While Ctrl is held, steering stays put and mouse throttle, brake and clicks are ignored.
Native settings
All options appear in the game's own menu under Controls → Mouse and Controls → Keyboard.
