Default Idea for automatic drift&sprint

What I miss in DW is that I can't tell the crew to do drift&sprint and similar 'random' maneuvers. Especially if want to have time compression on this can be quite tedious to do myself.

But that might be simulated by using an external tool like AutoIt (script engine to simulate user input/mouse movement). Perhaps DW has then to be run in windowed mode...

So, the basic idea would be that the user enters the basic course/speed and the tool generates (customizable) drift&sprint and other maneuvers.

What do you think? Crazy idea ?

Nice Idea Hawk. I sometimes thought it would be nice to have a ingame feature to edit specific commands like time-controlled course and speed changes.
I have never heard about AutoIt, so I can't say anything about that.
