Vehicles

Tesla is now the default vehicle on the Plains Map, with dedicated textures, audio, and reverse cues.
Improved AE86 driving feel and audio.
Expanded vehicle lighting: clearance lamps, high/low beams, and outline lights; upgraded Tesla lighting presentation.
Press R to reset to a nearby road station and align to the current lane.

Bridges can now be deleted, and bridge length can be adjusted directly.
Skewed bridge editing is supported; guardrails and slopes update with the skew.
Added abutment display; bridge angle is now a slider with Tips.
Improved span layout / standard-span logic and fixed bridge–tunnel overlap issues.

Road editing is now bound to design-code tips — key parameters and constraints are shown as you edit.
Manual slopes support segmented editing — adjust type and parameters per segment.
Added ditch control; slope generation is more stable and faster.
Separated-road end elements can be dragged with cascading updates.
Deleting elements that require a forced commit now asks for confirmation.
Added reverse-extension interaction; extension controls are also available outside edit mode.
Added construction smoke feedback when committing roads.

Added water presentation (sea / lake).
Improved near/far terrain material switching, road skirt, and nose-end materials.
Updated route / slope / bridge icons and selected UI fonts.
Added more road-creation and construction sound effects.

Main menu supports scaling; save list and level-loading UI layouts improved.
Segmented subgrade updates: editing mid-alignment no longer refreshes unaffected segments.
Faster slope and terrain generation for smoother editing.
Upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.8 with updated DLSS; default frame cap set to 90.

Fixed multiple stability issues with at-grade junctions, ramp drawing, and separated-road deletion.
Fixed terrain errors after skirt, slope, tunnel, and junction edits.
Fixed bridge length dragging that could not reach road endpoints.
Fixed vehicle reset and separated-road cross-section display issues.
Fixed various editing and material-reference problems.
Fixed ramp marking, road surface bump, and natural-slope flattening issues.
Fixed FMOD not shutting down correctly when quitting the game.
