The devs are correct when they say it’s nice to see people like you play this game as an actual driving sim. It’s seriously the best driving sim but a lot just see it as the crashing sim

idky but I feel like there may have been something reversed in the original coding that caused it to generate lift instead of downforce which is what's needed to keep you on the track at high speeds. Glad they finally fixed that cause I really do like the Bolide a lot, especially with making with some mods that make it look like a Farrari F40.

VR and Co driver mod will fully complete this game

[@Maximum_777]

The insane performance improvement of traffic has me thinking that the same beam reducing techniques could be applied to the vehicles that are spawned in BeamMP (modded multiplayer) and while it'd take a lot of effort to do, as every part would need a low beam variant, that's how fully supported multiplayer will likely exist in the future. Right now the multiplayer performance is good enough to barely race 10 cars, and often 8 or less if everyone's driving a higher beam count car which is a significant limitation and the reason there's no officially supported multiplayer, but man, given how things are going, and how successful the multiplayer currently is if your pc can handle it, this update shows a peak at a future where BeamNG has unbelievable gta like multiplayer. The future is bright for BeamNG.

[@freddieparrydrums]

I completely agree

[@JCBOiii]

Yeah i could barely hold 4 cars roaming around on West Coast; now i have 12 at the same time with a ~20fps drop

[@cmbaileytstc]

Okay, I’ve played MMO combat flight sims for decades. They’ve had MMO combat flight sims since 1990s computer technology because your computer is *not* doing the flight physics calculations for the dozens of other planes in the fight. Your CPU only has to calculate those things for you. It’s only your position, direction, speed derived from these calculations that are sent to other computers for them to deal with. And when your cannon shell impacts the wing of another plane, all that’s done is the message about the velocity, type, target area of the shell impact is relayed to his computer, which then calculates how many pieces fall off his airplane…if his wing falls off the message will again be related and you’ll get a visual off it being off. So to sum up massive computer power isn’t required in these games because your computer only has to calculate physics for your own plane. Or tank, works the same way in that kind of MMO combat game. Can BeamNG multiplayer adopt a similar system to avoid being such a computer load?

[@therealyoda6172]

@@cmbaileytstc tell the devs, they only did blur cause minr asked

[@namesii1880]

​@@cmbaileytstc I think the problematic part would be in how you calculate collisions, i feel like those simulations for damage in a jet dogfight are more rudimentary compared to Beam's soft body physics. Then you need to try to sync it between clients too.

[@umi3017]

[@giuniral]

I think they can improve the crashing into hard surfaces by finding a way to calculate how much energy will be transferred and dissipated into the said surface. That is in order to eliminate the extreme bouncing in some situations. Anyway, I love sinking some hours into this game, quite cathartic.

Beam for me is a top teir racing game that really drives home the consequences for mistakes, I love how involved the devs are in it, and the fact it just keeps getting better and better. I love rally in it, it's my favourite thing to do, and I feel like it's helped my driving IRL, if I ever get the money together to build a car and hit a rally stage properly instead of just dirt days in my daily, I'll find out for sure if I've learned anything from Beam.

[@SlyNine]

The hardest part about video encoding is getting the frame pacing right, and that starts with getting a locked 60 during game play. I recommend RTSS and using front edge sync. I got a few perfect videos of NG but it took time figuring it out. Motion blurr helps cover up bad pacing, tho it also helps even if the pacing is perfect.

[@GranatenPepi91]

One thing i dont think is mentioned in the patch notes is, that they added a sneak peak into there carrier mode. Click several times (10 or so times, maybe a bit more) on Carrier on your main menu until a warning comes up.

[@tomsterbg8130]

It's amazing that this project that's been in the works for over a decade has been the best of its kind and is now so far that it almost feels like the intended idea for the game is coming together! I feel like they're making a roleplay simulator which is why it's so realistic. There's a few issues I've had with 0.25, but it's just nit picking. For the interested I played the first campaign and somewhere around stage 07 where you have the ETK, a small jump and hitting a wall of concrete blocks mid air one of the blocks had a stretched mesh like the tire glitches in the old days. Also for hypermilling at the gas station I made myself a custom Pessima and a very unrealistic cheese to gain distance is to just go slow and let the starter propel your car at the highest gear. That's why I'd love to see a rework on how internal damage such as gearbox, starter and clutch works. I had used 80% fuel by the 20th minute and had no more patience so I picked up the pace and since I removed the radiator for less weight as you don't need it while hypermilling it got really hot and you could feel the struggles it gave the car which is something I absolutely love. Also you can hear the reverse gear even if the engine is off and the clutch is at 100%!

My favorite thing to do in this game is race. I'm not gonna lie, I have a wheel set up, and using a wheel on this game it's so damn close to real life, I can transfer the skill over, no joke. More people need to treat this game as a simulator and less of a crash pit.

[@thefikusz3267]

I would love to see a video where you show us, simracers some good mods (tracks, good quality racing cars) and scenarios how to setup a race in the game, because i don't get entertained in this game when racing and it's 100% my fault/newbieness

[@tezla1530]

I suggest searching for some highly rated racing/rallying maps, I believe two were showcased on the channel. The Civetta Scintilla mod, showcased in the previous BeamNG video, is super fun and brings more to the Scintilla. I would also suggest getting tire mods if the pure specifics interest you.

[@Serzari]

There's about 35 real race track mods for BeamNG in a decently playable state currently, about 20 of them new to this year, plus a ton of touge courses and ovals if you also like those. You can find most of them on the BeamNG forums in the terrains mod section
