Updating (version 1.1 and higher)
There are two ways to update your vehicle:
1. Update loader
Use the update loader to update your current vehicle. For example when you've modified it and don't want to start over. Rezz the update loader next to the vehicle you'd like to update, touch the loader and wait for the script transfer to finish
2. Fresh new version
With each update we send out a new boxed version of the vehicle. You can use this new version from that moment onwards. Alternatively you can always request a redelivery at our mainstore to receive the most recent boxed version of your vehicles.

IMPORTANT:
Please turn "EDIT MODE" on before any modifying that isn't reflected in vehicle's "Customize..." menu.
EDIT MODE can be turned on and off in the main menu (just click the vehicle).
