    Node debug view is really useful when trying to create mods for BeamNG. But currently it is quite difficult to digest the information that it contains.

    Would it be possible for this to be improved?

    Ideas:
    • Shrink font size
    • Make font thicker and apply AA so it is easier to read
    • Shrink white background
    • Make the background the same shape as the text
    • Use better contrasting colours
    • Put the node names on the actual nodes rather than drawing a line
    • Make the text display in 3d, so closer node names will overlap further away ones
    • Improve display of wheel node names so the name is only displayed once

    You can change text rendering back to the old style in the editor (F11), click on the eye icon or press alt+v, disable "Advanced text drawing". At least the text is next to the node, though it's harder to read otherwise.

    This should actually be the default
