You gotta add the NASCAR and the Street Racing Herbie variants, Maybe the Beetle from the 70s too?

License plate light flickers at some angles when driving from orbit view. Removing shadow casting from trunk.jbeam flare corrects it, but then the light would need to be realigned.

Make sure you don't have any old version of the mod active. Also test a clean save/settings folder.

Radio

Custom Radio Stations

To add you own radio station follow these steps:

Download the template file attached to this post (bug_radio_kdst.jbeam)

Open the file with any text editor. VisualStudio Code or any similar editor with syntax highlighting is recommended thought.

Edit the content of the file accordingly:

{

"bug_radio_station_<some unique name>": {

"information": {

"authors": "<Authors name>",

"name": "<your song name>",

"song": "vehicles/bug/radio/<your file name>",

"value": 300

},

"slotType": "bug_radio_station"

}

}

The first line of the block is the unique part. Name it whatever you like as long as it is unique to you other radio stations and does only contains the following chars: a-z _ -

Change the lines in the section "information" to your liking. The value next to "name" defines how this part appears in the parts list of the vehicle configuration. (" chars must be prefixed with \)

The important part is the key "song". This should contain the relative path to the actual song file. In this case Replace GTA-SA_K-DST.mp3 with the name of your own song. Note: Do not change the value to the key "slotType".

Open BeamNG and spwan with this vehicle.

Open the Vehicle Customization and switch to the Save&Load tab. Click on Open User Configuration Folder

Create a folder with the name radio and copy your wav or mp3 file in. Past your customized JBeam file next to the radio folder.

Press CTRL+SHIFT+R to reload the vehicle and select your radio station in the part configuration of the vehicle: Frame > Interior > Dashboard > Console > Radio Station

Herbie gets angry too quickly, for example I went over a curb and a hubcap fell off. He gets super angry.

Wouldn't you be angry when you were a car and lost a hubcap? It's like being a human and randomly losing a shoelace

There are still some rough edges. The previous version didn't have hubcaps which can fall off, so the script does not really account for that.
I will definitely improve the Herbie stuff.
