Roadster X 1.0.1

ROADSTER X 1.0.1

An original two-seat electric hypercar for GTA IV: The Complete Edition. Drive, jump over traffic, hover and perform air tricks using ten cold-gas thrusters. This is an add-on vehicle: no stock car is replaced.

NEW IN 1.0.1
Revised nose, side panels, window framing, rear wing and rear bodywork. The plugin, controls, sounds, settings and supplied handling line are unchanged from 1.0.0. Version 1.0.1 was captured in-game on Mac through CrossOver on 19 October 2026. Native Windows testing remains pending.

FEATURES
• Tap to jump, hold to rise higher, or double-tap to hover.
• Fly, boost, spin and perform air tricks, with soft landing assistance.
• Active rear wing, fan downforce, butterfly doors and optional water rescue.
• Ten thrusters with white vapor jets and nighttime glow.
• 49 original synthesized sounds and an on-screen systems panel.
• Commented RoadsterX.ini settings that reload during play.

REQUIREMENTS
GTA IV: The Complete Edition 1.2.0.59; FusionFix 5.1.1 or newer; Aru’s C++ ScriptHook 0.5.1 with the Complete Edition hook fix (ScriptHook.dll and aCompleteEditionHook.asi). Dependencies are not included. Use an add-on-capable trainer to spawn roadsterx.

INSTALLATION
Back up your game first. Copy the ZIP’s Game Folder/plugins and Game Folder/update into your GTAIV folder. Merge the supplied Data Lines into vehicles.ide, carcols.dat and handling.dat under update/common/data, following README.txt. Spawn roadsterx. The archive includes our original handling line; additional handling presets are not included in this version.

QUICK CONTROLS
Keyboard: E jumps; double-tap E to hover; R boosts; K toggles systems.
Controller: LB jumps; double-tap LB to hover; A boosts; hold LB and click R3 to toggle systems.
See README.txt and the wiki for full flight controls, installation, settings and troubleshooting.

KNOWN LIMITS
One passenger. Butterfly-door entry can take a moment. Handling is intentionally heavy. The seven *8.gxt text files can conflict with another mod using the same slots. The latest gameplay shoot used Apple Silicon with CrossOver and GTA IV CE 1.2.0.59.

GALLERY
Cover: real in-game airport hover screenshot from 19 October 2026, with HUD hidden; cropped and scaled only. The flight shoot used the optional Infinite=1 air-reserve setting; default flight time is limited. All eight gallery images are real gameplay screenshots: front and rear views, an air trick, city hover, raised wing, night lighting and golden hour.
