What Features Would You Love to See in Future Rigs of Rods Updates?

[RubenFischer]

Hey everyone, I’ve been playing Rigs of Rods for a while now and love how open and moddable it is.

But I’m curious if the devs were to push a major update, what features or improvements would be at the top of your wishlist?

Personally, I’d love better tire physics for off-roading and maybe improved weather effects. What about you? Let’s share ideas and maybe inspire some future development!

working airbags and seatbelts

Weather effects sound cool. I myself am looking forward to lights lighting the terrain and other objects again, because I like to drive at night.

Technically already possible with scripting.

No but fr, I'd like to see terrain being lit up at night, and maybe streetlamps

yeah same, it would really make modding easier

although it only works on maps with water

In fact, it would have to work with all the cards, or all of them would have to be with water; but converting them all would be very very very long.

This works because the interior camera falls out of the vehicle, which is not a good solution.
As CuriousMike said in https://github.com/RigsOfRods/rigs-of-rods/issues/3213:

Engines in RoR don't technically drown, instead they shut off when all cinecams are submerged. They will continue to function as long a cinecam is above water or doesn't exist. This is why the Lotus Esprit JB leaves a cinecam behind on spawn.
