1. What is it?
TC Binds is a local insim application for LFS. The main purpose of it is to give you some easily-accessible binds slots. More detailed description of features you can find below. The program has been made using InSimDotNet by Alex McBride (github link).

2. Features

Binds in form of on-screen buttons. There are five different sets of them, each set will be displayed accordingly when you are:
- civilian
- COP
- COP in chase
- MED / RES / TOW
- responding
Each set can contain up to 8 binds. Empty binds are ignored (not displayed at all). Those binds can be sent by either clicking the buttons on screen or by selecting them with scrolling up and down, or with /o pb and /o nb commands, and then sending by clicking scroll, or with /o sb command.
Binds triggered by numpad buttons.
Customizable automatic messages sent upon specific action, such as starting a chase or arriving on scene.
Commands:
- /o chasewarning - /o cw - Send chase warning to car behind you when you are cop in chase (you can change the message in settings file).
- /o mousemode - /o mm - Enable/disable mouse mode (buttons visible but not clickable).
- /o nextbind - /o nb - Select next on-screen bind (alternative to scrolling down).
- /o prevbind - /o pb - Select previous on-screen bind (alternative to scrolling up).
- /o sendbind - /o sb - Send selected on-screen bind (alternative to clicking scroll).

Log in to [TC] World and go to "My account" tab (link).
If you don't have your own API key yet, take it by clicking on "Request API key" button.
