Another cool thing could be custom metalworking in-game Could make a radiator mount without a radiator support Would work good for doing dumb stuff Could take a t-series engine and make a custom chopped t series frame and drop it in that
Secondary siren. Doesn't make sense that you can only have one siren, that only really makes sense on the older police cars. They need to add a secondary siren as currently you can only have 1. Speaking of lightbars, They should keep the old lightbars in the game. I don't see why the old lightbars had to be outright removed, they could have stayed. They look very different from each other. Perhaps label it as 'classic halogen light bar' and 'classic LED light bar'. The game really needs a special horn for emergency vehicles, none fit for a police car at all.
i series remaster wen. But seriously. No one cares about the I series anymore and it needs some updates. This is the only thing I want in this game
Intro and Idea: I would very much appreciate various "pages" of UI you can toggle through and configure, so there can be one for setting up the car, a clean setup for actually driving it and one for off-roading with UI Apps not needed for road driving, one for bus-driving, one for admiring the depth of simulation and so on. Reasoning for this Idea: The Developers have put in so many wonderful Applications to fill your screen with, addressing the many things to do in the game and I am feeling that this potential is being hampered by not enabling the user to have access to easily switchable pages. Example for Inspiration: My example for a game doing this rather nicely is project cars 2: You can setup one Preset for quick information about tires, brakes and sector timetables and another one for driving on the edge in first person with only the current lap time and offset visible and maybe a digital speedometer and then have another preset that is just full on empty to give you the perfect immersion. Example for a full Setup for dialing in a car Example for a light and focused setup, ideal for concentration and immersion of cause there are different use cases for UI apps in BeamNG.drive compared to Project Cars 2, but in my opinion this makes for an even more necessary overhaul in the aforementioned direction!!! Current Situation: This is so much needed in this game, because there are so many great apps and so many use cases for certain apps that would just be out of place in other scenarios. One can get very annoyed by having to manually adjust the interface time and time again and it can't be such a difficult thing to implement I bet... Where this Idea came to be / typical scenario of the current systems downsides: This Idea came up when me and my friends were setting up off-road cars after driving some mountain streets in utah and we all were annoyed after first having to switch the layout to display power figures and shift point debugs and weight distribution for setting up the car and then having to manually switch back again to fit in a compass and pitch and roll meter plus powertrain control whilst getting rid of simple brake thermals, g-Forces and all the stuff we put for just setting up the car. Summarization: It only takes up time right now and if done once, by setting up switchable pages, toggled via a key and being arranged in the options like you can configure the camera switching order it could be a real game changer, making more use of existing UI-Apps and drastically improving the flow of gaming. Thank you for reading! I am very interested to hear your constructive thoughts and am very excited if there is something coming out of it, as I really took my time trying to explain the many pro arguments and benefits of such a system contrasting the hassle of the current way of things!

Yes It's a good idea, and I think it's easy to add to the game because the game has already a preset system for scenario, bus driving scenario, ... They just can add some empty preset to allow the player to have different presets to use. And yes in the future has automatic preset for camera could be better than just the cross to see or not the UI in driver camera.
Yeah, that's what I am thinking. Should not be that difficult but the result could be a massive improvement to the games flow, which sometimes gives me office vibes hahah! Thank you for your comment on that! Really appreciate it! I made it into a separate thread also, but thought maybe it could be seen here too! https://www.beamng.com/threads/switchable-user-interface-pages.90491/
Thank you very much! feels good seeing people agree to ones ideas! I am excited for they day a system like the proposed one makes it into the game! (I'm a big "over preparer", as I have profiles on my keyboard and mouse for every game, presets on my headphones and setups for my pc components and fans tweaked for most games.... so yeah, being able to setup ui profiles nicely would be an amazing thing to dive into headfirst hahah)
yeah, the UI Configuration is a hassle and saving it just so complicated! Feel free to also agree on this topic in my main thread, so the devs can see it! https://www.beamng.com/threads/switchable-user-interface-pages.90491/#post-1552856
this ui "change" or "facelift" idk gave me an idea.. idk if we already said that but we don't have official multiplayer, so why not updating the beammp to be official and most importantly, capable of handling 4 boys behind 1 pc with 4 controlers and 1 screen SP/LIT screen
They need to add a map for France, as we have many Gendarme Mods but nowhere to use them. The best we have is Italy (currently)!
I think the police AI needs a rework and we should be able to customize the police and traffic that spawn in. Wigeons are 50% of the police vehicles in my game for some reason, and police will turn around into oncoming traffic to crash into you if you restart. There are many other problems with their behavior but they just don't behave realistically in any way. It would be better if they just stopped chasing after you got a certain distance away and less cops spawned in general.
they have a strategy where one in front of you goes slow, then another murders you from behind it should just be to block you in
