Stand Stars

Stand Stars

Blue star highlights on the engine stand — same marks you use on the car.

About

In vanilla CMS 2021, starring a part highlights it in blue on the car, but those marks often don’t carry over when the engine is on the engine stand.

Stand Stars fixes that: starred parts from the job car show the same cyan/blue outline while you work on the stand.

Features

• []Blue star highlights on engines mounted on the stand[/]

  []Auto-binds to the car you crane’d the engine from[/]

  []Press B to cycle which customer car/job the marks come from (useful if several jobs are in the garage)[/]

  []Event-driven only — no per-frame scanning (won’t tank performance)[/]

  Requirements

  • []MelonLoader 0. 5. 7 (required for CMS 2021)[/]

    []Car Mechanic Simulator 2021[/]

    Installation
