   Groundbreaking mod! However, right now it seems to be displaying the entire vehicle's DAE model file during playback. It would be even better if it could support DAE and wheels as well. Keep up the good work!

      大佬, I'm not really happy with the fact that there are no wheels right now and the car body isn't transparent. I tried this before, but due to performance limitations, I had to use a DAE file. If I want wheels and a transparent car body, I'd have to use a physically-accurate car body, but the performance overhead is so high that it's practically unusable.

   Words cannot describe how much of a game changer this is, but I will try my best here. Sorry not sorry for the long review.
   
   A ghosting system, with a relative timer, is one of many tools that all other sims have, but BeamNG has always been lacking, and it took literally 1 session using this with a friend of mine, for me to push an already very refined config, to be more than 3 seconds faster, purely by refining it further and figuring out what needed to be adjusted, based on the constant feedback chasing a perfectly consistent ghost can give you.
   
   I had effectively hit a wall with refining configs, and this let me break straight through it, and improve how I was driving, by allowing me to naturally see exactly where I was losing time.
   
   This has allowed me and my friends to refine better configs very quickly, but also debunk myths about how certain adjustments actually impact performance, making this easily one of the most useful tools that has ever existed for Beam.
   
   Anyways I have come here after a single session to say I love it, and I hope you keep developing it. I will have to experiment more with this in the coming days to give more feedback if I have it, but I did notice one thing, and literally the instant I saw how the racing line's color changed, I wanted to give you this as a suggestion, so here it is in detail.
   
   I don't know how far you intend to take this mod, but if this could be added, it'd be probably make this racing line the most functional racing line I've ever seen, in any game, and make it absolutely instrumental for helping one refine their configs, and their driving skills, to be faster.
   
   It also seems like the current system already almost does what I'm about to suggest, so here's my extended thoughts on how I think you probably could make it be the best version of itself.
   
   ---
   
   Currently there is a mode for the racing line to change color depending on acceleration/deceleration. It is completely independent of speed in this mode which is good, and it will turn red for braking, green for accelerating, white I think for coasting, and then yellow I assume for either both throttle and brake being pressed together, or maybe just engine braking or something. Not quite sure, but it's an amazing system because it's independent of speed and gives you insight into the inputs the driver of the ghost was giving, on a corner by corner basis.
   
   That mode works perfectly, it's able to tell you what's happening without overloading you with too much info, and it's really damn useful like I said, but I think more info would be amazing.
   
   I think you should push that system to its limit, by having the colors be a smooth gradient, literally directly connected to your pedal inputs (if it isn't already).
   
   I want to see it not just show one color, but instead show a dark to light gradient of the color, depending on how hard the pedal is being pressed.
   
   I think starting at a dark color at 1% pedal travel, and going to a brighter color, or possibly even becoming emissive at 100% pedal travel, to make it extra clear when the pedal is all the way down. This would all be ideal for showing you how the ghost was controlling the car.
   
   The result would be that coming into a corner you'd see a bright red line when the brakes are pressed hard initially, it would start to get darker as the ghost then trails off of the brake going into the corner, and then it'd go white when no pedal is pressed, likely during the transition from one pedal to the next, and then finally, starting at a dark green, which then transitions to a bright green as the throttle is pressed more and more, you'd be able to see how the ghost was applying throttle to get through and exit the corner.
   
   This would be incredible, but you could take it even further.
   
   If you were to include like a super short pink section, that would cut through any color of line, to represent when the input to shift was given, up or down it'd be amazing, and then I think this idea could also be applied to hand brake, which would be useful for drifting, as well as rallying.
   
   Now, I'm no coder, and have never made a mod, so I have no idea how difficult a system like that would be to implement, but you seem to already almost have something close to this, so if you want to effectively make it perfect, I think that's how to do it.
   
   A racing line that basically gives you a detailed read out of the ghost's inputs like this would allow you to look back on your own ghost and see where you were probably over driving the car, and where you may be able to get onto the throttle sooner etc. It'd also give you insight into how your friends are driving their cars too.
   
   I have never seen anything like this in any other sim, all racing lines are speed based or just the ideal racing line printed onto the ground, and at least for the ghosts I've chased, a ghost typically doesn't leave a line at all, so I think you may have a genuine opportunity here to innovate and really make this into something special.
   
   Anyways, hopefully this doesn't come across like I'm just begging you to add something, I just couldn't not give that suggestion.
   
   Ultimately I hope you will continue to improve it however you see fit, and I wish you the best. Thank you for finally doing what no one would, and making a genuinely useful tool.

      Thanks for the detailed review. Actually, I don’t know how to code either—I wrote this plugin entirely using Codex and Claude. You could say I haven’t written a single line of code; my role is to observe and provide feedback (human loop? wetware? haha). The features you mentioned should be released sometime next week—some of them are already complete, so stay tuned.

   One of the most useful apps for hotlapping and improving your car or your driving. This has become my new favorite app to test and tune. This brings me back to hotlapping in early Gran Turismo games. The only thing I would like to see added is point to point for testing one way roads. Other than that, keep up the good work.

   A functioning delta speed and delta time app in BeamNG and easy ghost sharing between friends, that's an easy 5 stars. It even works well in multiplayer and makes for incredible live time attack battles.
   
   The reverse crossing rejections need tuning though. There's been multiple tracks where it auto-cancels because they double back beside the gate at 180° even over 100 meters away, such as Tsukuba. You can sorta force a workaround with the hotlapping app, but that thing gets more busted with every update, won't save or load routes anymore, and often breaks with resets.
   
   Manually setting an end gate for point-to-point racing is another thing I'd like to see. Saving and showing incomplete recordings at least lets you get automatic ghost playing and functional deltas, but you don't get course times or automatic ghost updates with your PB times.
   
   Trying to lap multiple track variants at the same start line is also very fiddly. "Restart lap here" throws you into an existing start if you're at the same start line, so some way to force a different course from the same point seems necessary if you don't want to wipe out old starts and ghosts. Manual control could also let you separate different classes of cars for when you don't want every car on a universal leaderboard.
   
   I'm just happy to see such a foundational sim/track racing feature in the game after all this time.
