Quality of Life (QoL) suggestions

Hell-o.

I've found that we lack a thread in which we can suggest all the smaller "life comfort" stuff that make your BeamNG experience nicer instead of constant barrages of car & map suggestion threads that drown everything else, so here we are.

If you don't know what "Quality of Life" means in context of videos games, here's a a snippet from medium.com

What QoL suggestions do you have that devs could actually implement to make our time & experience of playing BeamNG even nicer?

 

Proper off-mode where gauges are inactive, chime when starting, and having to hold the starter.

 

splash sound effect when you land in water

 

A strange one, but maybe an automated "generate cache" option when loading from a new installation that generates the caches for all cars and levels in a single long process.

 

A button to start a fire from the engine and slowly makes it's way to the full car, we only have a button for a full fire and a explosion fire.

It would make it a bit more realistic after a crash.

 

An option to switch to a specific car rather than flick through them all

 

doesn't even have to be a UI overhaul, just an UI speedup would make the game 10x less painful to navigate

 

seperated sirens and lights, as a (now voluntary) Ambulance driver, driving a Emergency services car ingame makes me cringe

 

Emergency vehicles in general need an overhaul with radios, siren controls, and dividers for some vehicles.

Some vehicles also have very inaccurate lighting systems (namely LED lights on older police cars) and the "generic" light bar should probably have rotors instead of just alternating.

 

Hell yes

 

I would love to see the replay system to play all sounds that come from the vehicle.

 

Complete and thorough overall of road signs on most maps. Many maps are missing them completely, or have them very inconsistent.

 

You can use free camera, then F7 to teleport your vehicle to any place you want

Dynamic reflections can make functional mirrors. But it's extremely laggy, so yeah we need fps friendly functional mirrors

 

Ok

 

Overhaul the UI. The current one is so slow is painful to use and kinda clunky in my opinion. Other than that, I can say I agree with most of the stuff here. An official "click to enter vehicle" would be pretty sweet.
