@sashair  Thanks for the feedback! You're right that a turbocharger doesn't automatically reduce boost just because it's cold outside.

However, cold oil viscosity, lubrication conditions, and engine warm-up can affect how a turbocharged engine should be operated during a cold start.

COLDSTART aims to simulate these cold-start conditions, but I agree that the behavior should be based on realistic mechanical factors rather than ambient temperature alone.

I'll review the turbo simulation to make sure it's as accurate as possible. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hey @Kaleb ! Thanks for your feedback! 😊

You're right, BeamNG.drive already simulates some engine and temperature mechanics.

However, COLDSTART builds on those existing systems by adding more detailed cold-start behavior, battery management, glow plugs, carburetor flooding, cold-weather fuel consumption, engine-specific starting characteristics, and much more.

I've spent many hours developing, testing, and improving this mod to make winter driving more realistic.

The Patreon support helps me continue developing COLDSTART and creating new mods for the community. ❤️

I also offer free mods under RealDrive!

Thanks for understanding, and I appreciate your feedback!
