	Random question for an experienced modder: Is there any way to create a "shift light" (a light that lights up when the engine RPMs exceed a certain value)? I thought of creating a glow mesh that uses the cockpit_RPM thing in the CFG and then setting it to rotate 180 degrees once it passes the desired rev limit, but that does not allow for multiple RPM needles (I still want the standard one) or for attaching it to a part other than the chassis. Also, is there any way to read the time of day and whether or not the car is "on" (lights are on, engine is started) from within a part's java? I think I might be able to create pop-up headlights that open by themselves when the car turns on.
	My Roleplay Thread Roleplay set roughly in a fictionalized version of Phoenix, Arizona. The time varies, with a lot of flashbacks / stories told through old photos as well as flash forwards to later times, but is intended to be one continuous story. My character is about 5 years older than myself, and considerably richer. lol. I have a couple of other made-up characters for the RP too. Current cars: - Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33 1996 S2) - Toyota Supra (JZA80 1993) - auto N/A; work in progress Shop drift car: Nissan Skyline GTS25t 2JZ Swap (ECR33 1994) Previous cars: - Nissan 240SX RHD Conversion / RB Swap - parted out - Pontiac G8 V6, LS7 Swap - sold - Toyota Supra Turbo (JZA80 1997) - stolen Others' featured cars: - Jake's Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec (BCNR33) "Wine Red" with Nismo RB28 Will the R33 ever be released? When? : The R33 is a long running work in progress that will be released when it's done, and not a moment sooner. I'm definitely being a perfectionist about this, but I want this to be the mod the community deserves and expects, not merely the latest in a set of stop-gap mods. Will you be making a Mustang 2015 / S550? : Not after the large bunch of other stuff I'm planning to make is all done. Is that your mod in those screenshots? : Is it the Skyline R33, the Audi A5, the Crossfire, the Supra JZA80 (with Bigg Boss93) or one of the ones I've released (like the Mustangs)? If so, yes. If not, probably not; search the GOM and VStanced downloads sections for it. Mustang mod updates? : A new SN95 1995 Mustang mod is planned (the original wasn't mine); a Foxbody remake with LOD0 meshes is in the works, and will include more parts than the original version; and I am preparing updates to the SN95 2000, many of which are finished but not there yet.
