Awesome, and you'll recall I wasn't fond of the motorcycle's brightness in a18.
Also, since the gyro needs a headlight for its accessories, can it get a 45 degree (or so) down casting headlight for night flights? Most lights don't display very far away, and nights can be so dark now that without a headlight landing or taking off at night can be dicey. (At least i don't see a headlight working on my gyro here.)

I'm more optimistic that we'll see improvements in vehicles with the mods... crippling zombies with the front tongs of the motorcycle comes to mind.
I wouldn't mind those being removed on the base motorcycle though and be added with the mod. Body color choices using masks would REALLY be nice as well though.

Just visited their forums and the latest post is a missing horse...guess their game is not immune to missing entities...

Honestly I pretty much agree. All things considered the game looks really great for a voxel one, as a matter of fact it looks better than most games that don't feature voxels. Yet the zombies... well, they really stick out like a sore thumb. Always the same looks, the same animations, the colors are way too flashy for my taste, and yeah... It just doesn't feel real and immersive at all. I wish they could randomize outfits / faces / haircuts and animations, so that you don't feel like wrecking copies and copies of the same.
At the very least, a serious pass on the aesthetics should be made. The world, terrain, light effects look so stunning, that in comparison the zombies just look gimmicky.

Fortunately for you, it has already been revealed that zombies will get an update in the future.

So for vehicle mods, what kind of stuff does that entail?
I have a few suggestions in that regard:
Nitrous canisters, filled via reaction with nitrate powder in the chemistry station (used as a fuel booster straight from the canister which has a quality and degradation based on fill level. Could also be used as a drug for short term negation of stun effects perhaps, though painkillers already more or less fill that spot in the game.)
Heavier armor for better physical impacts for less consequential damage to the vehicle
Tuned or upgraded engines for better fuel economy
Cosmetic lighting tubes for road lighting and aesthetics, cool stuff.
Mounted weapons, such as light machine guns, heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, even flamethrowers
For bicycles, a battery holder where you can charge up batteries as you cycle, with potential upgrades to be able to use the stored energy to cruise without using stamina.
Light frames for better speed and fuel economy at the cost of armor rating
I'm sure far more can be done but that seems like a good start for boosting vehicle viability.

IC, this will be a thread for people posting their expectations about how vehicles should be in the future.

Many games allow you to summon your mount, world of warcraft from example. Is it that much of a leap to allow it into your inventory instead of whistling it away into thin air?

Faatal stated he would work for free and Gazz said he would start wearing clothes when roaming the forums if you allowed us to have horses in the game...
.
That we could ride and tame maybe breed to get that perfect steed.

Just go into any crafts store, and ask for glue - Your wish has been granted.I've always wanted a Horse in a Bottle.
As long as you don't simultaneously demand more zombies, that's okay. That graphics and animation bling bling on each zombies will cost GPU and even a little CPU time. Less left for actually putting more zombies in the game.
Well, and a name change. 7 Red Dead to Die
