Glowy brakes!!
I'm not sure why this isn't already a feature in BeamNG but here it is.
How it works:
The brakes have a new overlay mesh added around them which has a transparent HTML texture. The texture will start to change the transparency of 3 texture layers once certain temperatures have been reached. As it's an HTML screen, this can be done very smoothly as shown in the GIF.
Thanks to LucasBE , the textures now look A LOT better as they're properly rendered and stuff
I adjusted the temps a bit downward to make the brake glow more noticable, so it's not that rare occasion that you can sometimes see when looking at it in the right moment. However, not that low that its always there. Heavy braking may lead to a short moment of red glow. Proceeding to do so will obviously heat-soak the brakes etc.
