I think that there should also be a mod that makes your car actually looks burnt. For example: I think it would make the game more realistic even though the tires pop when the car is on fire. It would also make rolplaying way more fun and exciting.
the developers are trying to bring this to fruition, but they've said its hard and they haven't found a satisfactory way to do it. it will come from the devs, tho
--- Post updated --- I'm totally agree with this idea! When vehicles catch fire on BeamNG Drive, they didn't end up really burnt!
