Dude what... you're telling me after all this time I can just press ctrl + shift + d.... 😅

[@BeamBot]

I know, right?! 😂 I had no clue either! I really appreciate you commenting. I never thought channels with 1M+ subscribers would ever watch my content. Thank you! 😁

@@BeamBot why games like BeamNg and ARMA are better than those simulation games created by government?

You can also rewind by holding the insert key.

kind of a new addition

[@henrydomanboi8327]

oh hi nick, i too had no idea, ps love your vids :)

[@Cobra_427]

The deflate random tire keybind will be great for realistic tire failure crashes, much better than using the node grabber

[@taquito1561]

Yeah, i've always just slowed down time 100 times and just grab the tire, guess I'll be using this now, it's much more practial

[@elliottball2739]

It's truly a game changer slowing down yo 100 times. Accidently ripping of a wheel and taking the axle with it just isn't it

[@2head32]

Slowing down time just to rip my entire chassis out from the car

[@Bonnie_pirate9536]

When i'm trying grab tire with node grabber, i broke axle or i damage the car.

I have to say, I love doing flatbed deliveries and controlling it from walking mode. So much more enjoyable.

[@BeamBot]

Totally agree! 👍

[@tygotechengaming1623]

I have a mod for you! Its the working winches mod, it adds working winches for the flatbeds so you can tow broken cars on it

[@mikesteven3611]

@Tygo Tech En Gaming maybe im thinking of something else. But i swear i tried that map and personally couldnt figure it out. BUT.... ive been playing for 4 years and just now learned you can walk around 🤷‍♂️

I really love your style of videos, it's short, goes straight to the point, and you aren't using a bazillion meshslaps. I really hope you get more subscribers and a bigger audience in general. Really cool to see the game shown properly :D

[@vanillevaschnille9336]

I agree, its refreshing to see someone who actually understands the game

[@gregdabrat]

Yea, that's why i love this channel, it isn't over hyper content like beamngshorts

[@OIIO_BEAMNG]

I didn't know half of those features, thanks for showing us!. Also, there is a ''feature'' that I think is very nice: when you check the ''auxiliary debug content'' box in the lower right corner off the map selection, you will be able to access the showroom map, the ''automated testing map'' (a very weird almost empty map with a very long no texture road) and the template map (usefull to starts experimenting with the map editor). Btw I really love your videos, and I can easily tell how much effort you put into them. You are definitely an inspiration to me. I hope you get more audience because you really deserve it!

[@BeamBot]

You're welcome, I'm glad you learned something new! Yes, I'm aware of those hidden maps! Honestly, it would have been a good idea to put the showroom map on this list. Thank you, I do work hard on these videos. It may just be a 2 minute video, but it takes HOURS to brainstorm, plan, record, and edit. Thanks again 😁

[@n.o6889]

The auto test map is the map used to generate the stats in the vehicule selection sreen

Glad it helped, you're welcome! 😄

with 430 hours on the clock. I have never ever seen the hotlapping tool or the random tire deflate tool. This is crazy! Thank you for sharing this to us and thanks to the algorithym for putting this video on my feed. this has to be one most useful videos I have ever seen on youtube haha!

_This_ is how you do a Top 10 style list! Keep it short, informative, and engaging! I never knew about any of these, even after watching NerdCubed play this, plus my (currently) 183 hours on the game.

[@BeamBot]

Thank you! 😉 Glad you discovered something new! 😁

Thanks! Cheers! 🥂

That flatbed in walk mode is so awesome. Definitely will be using that from now when doing tow runs.

How did u get this truck with flatbed ?

[@bruhhhhmoment4848]

Thank you for the hotlapping I been wanting to race so but I had to put it on chase or flee and it wasn’t good

[@epicdude3659]

i still find it hard to believe that this game is 10 years old already.

[@Copletic]

I can't believe how much this guy cares about his fans, this video was made 6 days ago and all the comments are read, even the ones made 5 hours ago.

[@BeamBot]

😁

[@Destroyer_UA]

I've known BeamNG for over 5 years, and I still don't know some features. It probably also helps the whole fact that I don't actually have the game. 😅

[@user-yg4og8hj2j]

Even though I don't have beamng, I find it fascinating that a 2013 game has almost real life physics! Good video!

[@FerralVideo]

Okay, I learned several things today. Ctrl-Shift-H and D, hotlap tool (and the ability to command AI to race along the checkpoints!), and recover to last road are things that I learned!

[@AlexandreBugado]

They fixed the radial menu in missions. Before this off road update, you could just go into missions and select whichever vehicle presets you wanted. I had saved a Scintila with drag tires and a machine gun that I would use for fun in the police chase missions.

[@iRicardoTM]

There's an option in the menu to do that I believe. It's called "competitive mode" or something like that. It's activated by default.

[@Tincoco_]

That first one is insane. I’ve been wanting to deflate single tires but didn’t know there was a button

[@NigelMontezuma]

Hopefully they make all the doors interactive on all their cars (not just the tailgates on the D-series, Grand Marshal, ETK, etc.)

[@BeamBot]

YES 👍

[@oli_onion]

I swear they are already I seem to remember it being a feature a few updates ago when they added walking mode.

[@NigelMontezuma]

@@oli_onion Those were the tailgates on the Gavril D/H-series and the Pigeon and not everything else.

[@ryanknol3876]

They probably will over time, but it was very easy to already add it to the H-series’ rear doors and D-series’ tailgate since those where already openable (by pressing a button on the keyboard), so all they had to do was add a mouse-click-trigger to it; the whole opening system in terms of hydros, movement, locks, etc. already existed

[@towtruckoperator]

I don't really see any reason why it isn't already a feature, considering that they already have the interactive doors from the tailgates, and the doors can open.

[@mrlongschlong4370]

wow those 2 minutes actually felt like 10, this video is really peak efficiency, everything I want to know packed in a very short video, without anything I don't want or anything unnecessary. Also I only knew you could open door's in the ring menu, everything else is new to me

[@BeamBot]

Thank you very much, it's good to hear that you learned some new features!

Dude thanks I did not know that you could do CTRL+SHIFT+H for the tires. :)

[@TDUShelby]

You know, I've been playing since 2013, and there were indeed some things I didn't know. Mostly the hotkeys and the force field thing, but that hotlap tool is going to waste probably another hundred hours of my life. I love how this game's slow development is not for nothing. Seems like every major update adds major gameplay improvements and little, interesting things I didn't know about. Just counting the days until they finally add tire temp and wear.

[@BeamBot]

"but that hotlap tool is going to waste probably another hundred hours of my life" 🤣 Glad you learned something new! 😁
