Changelogs for the v3.0
Improved bumper movements when damaged
Fixed the bumper clipping issues on some cars
The glass shattering is now back on all cars
All bumpers now shake more at higher speeds
Better crash physics for all vehicles
New chassis texture combining the vanilla one with E3
Fixed parts that refused to fall even when they're damaged
Further improvements on the collision sounds
Some bumpers can no longer break off to avoid glitches and weird visuals
Most cop sirens have been removed on the former undercover cars (Cops2Racers and Rivals E3 add-ons)
New improved and versatile car landing sounds
New legacy landing sounds add-ons
New suspension and wheel landing sounds
New "E3 Compatibility" variants available (unofficial)
New "Less Breakables" variants available for all mod variants and add-ons
More "Breakable Parts Durability" presets are now available
What does it mean ? The bumpers will now swing more and with wider angles when they're damaged. Additionally, the wind will affect them more at high speeds. Depending of the variant, more or less parts will break off :
Normal : mirrors and bumpers can fall
More Breakables : the hood and bootlid can also fall
Less Breakables : only mirrors and small pieces of bumper will fall
New add-ons are also available to pair Enhanced Visual Damage with Rivals E3 Mod by Grabuss. On top of this, the add-ons also remove the cop sirens from the car interiors on the former undercover cars on the Cops2Racers and Rivals E3 add-ons, making these cars fit more in the racer faction. A few small sirens remain hidden behind the bumpers, as they're unfrotunately integrated into the car chassis. The v3.0 also improves the SFX and introduces new chassis landing sounds that feel more natural, on top of new wheel landing and suspension hit sounds. If you prefer the landing sounds from the v2.0, an add-on is available to restore them.
This update also fixes many issues from the v2 :
Floating parts when the bumpers fall (ex : license plate)
Flaws on the raw/vanilla E3 chassis texture
Lack of windows/glass shattering mechanics
Bumpers noclipping through the car
