Crash-test cargo gives BeamNG.drive a heavier load

A bus full of passengers should handle differently from an empty one, especially when things go wrong. Cargo & Crash Test Dummies makes that difference physical in BeamNG.drive, placing weighted dummies and freight into detected seats and cargo spaces across stock and modded vehicles. Players can fill a bus in one action or arrange boxes, drums and pallets with adjustable weight.

The loads affect the vehicle where they sit. Loose cargo slides and unsecured passengers can be thrown around in a crash, while fixed loads remain attached unless the impact is severe. Automatic placement tries to fit the cabin, but missing collision surfaces in some vehicles can produce clipping. It's a tool for anyone more interested in what a crash *does* than how spectacular it looks.
