Improved Vehicle Damage App
This mod completely revamps BeamNG's Vehicle Damage App
The current damage indicator has always bugged me ever since its revamp in 0.11. There has always been several issues with it and honestly, it has received more bugs than fixes over time with the newer damage types and updates. Since the damage app has been part of the default UI for over 10 years, I decided to fix it myself. This mod started off with a few simple fixes, which then turned into a much bigger project including many new features and changes to make it much more useful then the current one. Enjoy!

Me - For everything else Troubleshooting: Delete the old version of the mod when updating the mod manually. If you get a fatal LUA error or the HUD apps don't show up, then reinstall the mod and clear the cache.
Known Issues: Switching between vehicles sometimes doesn't display the damage right away.
