Control cars with the mouse.

Essentially, I would like to steer cars by turning to where the targeting reticle is pointed (like the PC version of Borderlands). I know that will somewhat mess up the shooting while driving, but I'm okay with that. The reason why I need this mod is for accessibility reasons. I can only use my mouse because of mobility issues, so I use voice-recognition software to input keyboard commands. The software will not input a new command until the current one is finished, so a "turn left" command will not take effect until after a "move forward" command has finished. As you can imagine, that makes steering in this game a bit....impossible.

If anyone can help by making a mod for this, or pointing me in the direction of an existing one, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
See the attached. Extract all of the packed xtbl files to SRTT's main folder (steam\SteamApps\common\saints row the third etc.) and have fun!

Now, the downside. This thing covers most of the vehicles but doesn't patch them all. If you would like to fix more cars, open carname_veh.xtbl (for example: sp_limo01_veh.xtbl) and look for "<Special_Vehicle_Type>something_something</Special_Vehicle_Type>" line. Then change it to " <Special_Vehicle_Type>Tank</Special_Vehicle_Type>", save that modified file to game's folder and run SRTT. As much as I'd like to tell you that this trick will do the job for every vehicle out there, I can't give you any guarantee on that...

I tried this and the mouse part works great but... I cannot go up and down in a helicopter and turning the wheels makes all vehicles go forward making reverse turns difficult. So the rest fo the controls seem to get out of wack.
