Ah, the feeling when things work according to your intuition . Thanks alot!

Changing the version numbers was the first thing I tried, unfortunately it spawned another error.

Failed to load mod "reverse-car 0.0.1"
_reverse-car_/data.lua:2: _reverse-car_/prototypes/item.lua:2:
attempt to index local 'car_reverse' (a nil value)

Is this an easy fix? Anyways, I'll do my best ...

I too just can't seem to get used to the current controls, and I've lost far too many cars to this already.
Please continue updating this mod, it's a must have!

EDIT: Oh, it seems this thread is quite old. Sorry for the necropost
