VEHICLE EICAS SYSTEMS V1.0

VEHICLE EICAS SYSTEMS introduces an aircraft-inspired Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System
into GTA V vehicles. The mod focuses on realistic engine behavior, gradual mechanical wear,
and immersive on-screen feedback while remaining fully configurable and gameplay friendly.

All systems are designed to feel believable rather than punishing, rewarding smooth driving
and maintenance awareness instead of arcade-style abuse.
