    So.. Another great indie game I play is Overgrowth, when you purchase that game you can also download what they call SumLauncher. Its a combined alpha updater, launcher with adjustable settings, news hub, and community content browser/installer/uninstaller. It's an extremely useful program and I would love to see a similar setup for BeamNG some day!;)

    The content browser is really something I wish all games had. Installing mods in BeamNG is incredibly simple compared to most games, however people still manage to mess it, with a simple GUI like this all you have to do is click install and your done. It can also save a lot of time, instead of searching through the forums for released mods you could just open the program and check if anything new appeared.

    There arent that much mods out till now, but your suggestions seems very smart for the future.

    I know the Devs are still hard at work making the actual game right now, so something like this would naturally be a very low priority. Maybe after a beta release it would make more since to work on.

    Yep, like i stated out, your suggestion is great when they reached beta or even Release Candidate.
