Suggestion Title: Make dash lights better
Suggestion Description: The TPMS light on the speedometer currently turns on when the vehicle is heavily damaged, after the check engine light. It should be changed to illuminate when one or more tires is deflated, and potentially flash when all four tires are popped.
Additionally, I think that the check engine light could be adjusted to illuminate when the vehicle is moderately damaged (Maybe below 65% or so) as this indicates that the vehicle needs service. The check engine light should flash when the vehicle is extremely damaged, which is used to indicate a critical engine malfunction, and to warn the driver that continued operation of the vehicle could cause catastrophic damage (In perp, it would mean you're much more likely to tier on small collisions)
Why should this be added?:
- This is how these lights actually function and would be more useful to identify popped tires now that it's a bit less (albeit still quite) obvious that tires are popped
-It would be easier to identify a vehicle needing service, rather than just looking for engine smoke, and be a little more immersive
What negatives could this have?:
- People without the upgraded speedometer might feel left out
-People might think it's not worth the development effort which I suppose is fair but I still think it'd be a nice change to align the lights more with real vehicle warning lights.
What problem would this suggestion solve?: Preventing confusion regarding the status of the vehicle
