    Hi,


    It often frustrates me when modifying cars, that you have to apply the part to your vehicle to know what the part looks/sounds like.
    Same goes for sirens and horns. I think there's 25 different sirens, it's time consuming to go apply each to the vehicle and then test it out.

    So my idea is making some sort of system that allows a preview of the different parts, same for sirens and horns.
    Say you hover your mouse over a specific part, a small picture of it will be presented to show what the part looks like. (Doesn't have to show how it looks attached to a vehicle, the part itself is enough)
    For horns and sirens, there could be some sort of play button to hear a preview of how it sounds.


    I hope this makes sense, thank you :)

    This is a good idea. I find the parts selector in this game a little tedious to be honest, and this is one of the more annoying aspects of it.
    Currently, if you hover over the currently selected part, it hides everything else and shows just that part, which is fine, but having to select the new part, then go up a level to hover over it in order to see what it looks like is pain, especially when you want to look through lots of different parts.

    I suppose in the grand scheme of things, it's not that important. Perhaps this could be improved with a mod in the meantime?

    Good idea, it would be especially useful for the D-Series which has A TON of different part variants, and also mods like Gavril Vertex
