In-game vehicle control UI (description/commands/beginner hints)

[only_a_ptr]

Hi.

Our in-game vehicle control hints are currently a bit of a mess. We have 2 UIs, each with it's quirks:

• Older "vehicle description" - this displays the "help texture" from old dashboard, if the vehicle specifies one. Also shows commands + descriptions. You need to show it manually.
• Newer "vehicle buttons" - shows all available hotkeys as icons. Includes custom lights and commands.

Apparently veteran users find the ButtonsUI annoying/not useful: https://discord.com/channels/136544456244461568/189904947649708032/1080996266693107763
I hear you, but I'd still like to have some on-screen hint for beginners. What do you think?

Also https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/issues/193 which i tried to fix several times (https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2901, https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/pull/2799) with no luck.

I'm not really a fan of it personally. Maybe an option to turn it off in the options menu and just have it on by default for the new players?
