What this mod does
CoreSRS, by CoreWorks, adds an airbag system with ECU logic to BeamNG.drive: it reads sensors spread across the body and only fires the bags in a real crash, not when you climb a curb or scrape something. It is free, in beta, and has over 3,200 downloads (4.7 out of 5).
What it includes
- Separate logic for frontal and side crashes: an outer sensor and the central sensor must agree.
- A hard side hit blocks the front bags; the passenger bag only fires if the hit comes from its side.
- An airbag warning lamp that lights at ignition and stays on after a deployment.
- Vehicles: Bruckell Bastion, Ibishu Pessima, Hirochi Sunburst and ETK 800 (curtains and seat airbags on the Bastion and ETK). The author promises more.
Version and compatibility
Version 1.3 (November 9, 2026) fixes, according to the author, phantom curtain deployments under hard braking and the wrong-side logic on side impacts. The .zip weighs 31.1 MB; the author does not state a minimum BeamNG version. The ignition must be on.
Known issues
It is not compatible with older airbag mods for the same cars and ships its own steering wheel parts, so it may conflict with mods that replace them. The steering wheel parts are based on official BeamNG files. The author forbids selling it.

Common problems
Do the airbags fire on any hit?
No: the ECU needs an outer sensor and the central one to agree, so a curb or a scrape will not set them off.
Which cars does it work with?
Bruckell Bastion, Ibishu Pessima, Hirochi Sunburst and ETK 800; the author says more are coming.
Why don't they deploy?
The ignition must be on and there must be no other airbag mod for that car.
Does it use assets from other games?
No: the steering wheel parts and the Bastion screen are based on official BeamNG files, and the rest is the author's.
Can it be included in a pack?
Only for free, with credit and a link; the author forbids selling it or putting it in paid content.
