[Feature Request] Use of mouse scroll wheel during driving.
Feedback, NormalPublic

Description

Driving is fun in Reforger, something interesting that could be introduced so we have better control of our vehicle for mouse & keyboard users would be to add the possibility to use our mouse scroll wheel to change how much gaz or brake is being applied similar to how walk/run speed works for on foot gameplay.

Example : while pressing W during driving, we currently give 75% gaz, being able to lower this amount (using the scroll wheel while pressing W key) would be appreciated for cruising or maintaining a particular speed without having to tap W or put the transmission unrealistically in high gear to maintain very slow speed (with APCs for example), every scroll wheel notch could raise or lower pressure applied to the pedal by 5%-10%. The same could be applied to braking, as currently pressing S key gives initially 75% and up to 100% pressure to the pedal after 2 seconds making braking too violent & make tire noise unnecessarily (we can hold left shift to do 100% pedal pressure if needed afterall). Having the possibility to adjust this value using the scroll wheel would raise the driving experience for keyboard users ( & lower fuel consumption without having to put it in neutral :D )

I would probably use the mouse to have a speed limit instead of the power. The idea would be to have full power as long as you don't go over a certain speed. Especially for going uphill or downhill with a truck

I agree, controlling speed in a vehicle is a pain.
I created a mod for arma 3 that worked like a cruise control.
you press W to get up to speed, when you let off W is would stay at that speed, (cruise on), then pressing S would apply brakes and turn cruise off.
This is great for boats where you want to travel for long distance, and would not need to hold W down all day.
sort of a autorun but for vehicles.
could be added to the driving assist settings.
Please BIS. lol.

This feedback post is about making the scroll wheel combo with W/S key act the same way as trigger buttons on a controller.
