New vehicle system, new models for vehicles and trailers and more 1.53

New Vehicle System

A brand new vehicle system has been introduced, replacing the old one. Key improvements include significantly better handling—vehicles are now much less likely to get stuck. Instead of using point traces for wheel collisions, we’re now using sphere collisions, giving driving over obstacles a much more realistic feel.

This new system also makes it faster and easier to add more vehicles in the future. On top of that, some vehicles now include new visual effects for drifting and burnouts.

New and Updated Vehicles

Here are some of the new vehicles added, as well as updates to existing ones:

Semi Truck – Replaces the old truck with a large trailer. You can now load it with pallets using a new small forklift that fits perfectly inside.

As seen in the screenshots, new builds are available that help with loading and unloading trailers. You’ll also notice two new light sources featured in the images.
