the great thing with beam ng is that it's so much more than a rally sim. you can have road cars, track cars, trucks, and buses. it's a real driving sim. you can play with the in games cars, from mods, make your own cars from automation, tune the in game cars the way you want, drive how you want it. it lacks purpose, but it's one of the best sandbox games in my opinion

Just an fyi, beamng actually only used crytech very early in the development process, they switched to the Torque3D engine almost immediately as they found it to fit their needs better, and actually because t3D is open source, the beam devs have taken advantage of that to improve it (for example, directx11 support, t3d was dx9 based before beamng came along, and thats just one example)

[@jacobl6714]

I agree to an extent, but for me almost anything done in this game is visually irresistible. It's the subtle little things that tell your brain "this is a real vehicle, really doing what it looks like" that can only result from modeling all the parts, having soft body physics, etc. So narrowly clipping an apex and sending the car up onto 2 wheels for a second and then saving it? Trundling around in a big truck offroading or making deliveries? Smashing into walls in new and interesting ways? All of those things are absolutely compelling to me. Also I dunno about anyone else but the little goofy stuff like accidentally forgetting i'm driving a ford explorer/oldsmobile bravada or something stupid and absolutely annihilating them over something dumb like a simple 15mph left hand turn, I find that so hilarious because it's so realistic, more than any of the massive 200mph crashes off the side of a mountain

East Coast of the US looks amazingly beautiful. These back roads that are paved, gravel, and pretty much every type of surface that you would love to just jump on and fly down. I wish that in the future moving forward in sim games, that they would let us start to scan our own roads in. Like a small scan from iPad Pro, that doesn’t have to simulate every detail, but just the basic elevation, and details of the curves, then renders in the rest.

Jimmy has been an inspiration to many games for me, but I discovered Beam before Jimmy, after being a massive fan of it's predecessor 'Rigs of Rods'. Worth a look if you get bored, the same physics concept, but much earlier. Something new in Beam I've discovered is the traffic will randomly run from you if you're in a stock police car (non modded), literally the best fun I've had in the game in too long. Endless police chases and pit manoeuvres makes for great entertainment. Could be a good call for some new content! Anyways, new to the channel, like your stuff!

When I first started sim racing, I had no idea how to drive a stick or handle a car around turns. Dirt rally 2 was the first game I ever tried and it was way too hard to get into at first.

It’s nice because outside of the scenarios, the free roam is a great fun way to just screw around and casually learn to drive.

Just a small misconception/correction, this game uses torque3d. The first few tech demos/trailers of beamng in and around 2012 were indeed captured from cryengine... But the swapped to torque3d due to the extravagant licensing costs if you want to use cryengine commercially. Understandably so, since graphics had never been the (top) priority for this game, albeit looking decent. I believe they forked the source of torque3d and modified it to be more compatible with their way of working, so technically it's an in-house engine with torque3d as backbone... But don't quote me on that ;), great and entertaining video overall though!

[@equaliserTV]

I am thankfull that someone is understanding what BeamNG is for. In my opinions its the most realistic sim out there

[@d3tach3d]

BeamNG only got good at their dirt physics not too long ago and with there recent patch the tarmac model finally has improved. It only took 7 years....The years and years before then it was only good for watching the softbody physics crashes. They're finally listening to their supporters and making the driving actually good in a game about driving, who would of thunk it. Sadly few games have that "One" amazing thing about them that makes them what they are and that's was their destruction model does for them. Everything else was janky as hell for 7 years and its good to finally. So with them finally working on the driving models "After 7 Years" it could be a game that stands above some dedicated racing games instead of just being a Destruction Sandbox. If they dont want to go "sim" and still be more jani and arcade like, maybe they could license their tech to other developers who are serious about sim racing, or their physics tech could be used for environmental destruction in a shooter or something. Anyways, Who knows, It takes forever to see new things and changes in the gaming industry.

[@jacobkuhn7312]

Ya gotta think tho this game is still not even close to done if they keep improving the game at this pace it will be a proper sim in the near future. At this point it's already realistic enough to build skill with a wheel if you get set up right

[@d3tach3d]

@@jacobkuhn7312 agreed but this game was released in early access over 7 YEARS ago. Its about time they started making some significant changes to their driving physics model among other things, Like i said, Its great theyre finally getting closer to realistic driving mechanics because the last 7 years its been pure jank. They sure took their sweet ass time. They havnt really done that much work over that whole period. This game should be alot farther along than it is. Its not like the dev team is 2-3 people. They just got lazy over and made only made small changes over the years but most was just user generated content anyways and the Automation Car game importer. So yes, its about time they got a fire lit under their ass and are making big changes now and listening to their community

Im relatively sure it dosen't use CryTech anymore.

Also theres a mod that adds a co-driver

It's running internal engine, which is based on Torque3D, but mostly it's rewritten and has not much in common now.

There's just something about watching cars get CRUMPLED INTO PANCAKES AT HIGH SPEEDS, THAT JUST NEVER EVER GETS BORING! x'DDD AND THE SOUND, OMG, THE SOUND DESIGN IS SOOOOOOOO GOOD! You can hear every single crunch, every crack, every shatter of glass, and every POP as your car gets realistically destroyed to oblivion, most gacing games in existence cannot properly replicate this!

[@DraJ_35]

I see a lots of crashing in this game but i really really love racing in this game for real. Just grabbing some car and trying to complete stage is just so much for me. You wont get any cash, there is no progress system but that absolutely doesnt matter. I like that someone appreciated this aspect of this awesome game.

[@R-E-NGaming]

It's hard for me to come across great BeamNG content since many are just crash compilations. This is exactly the type of videos BeamNG content needs!

[@Fungamer4570]

Its amazing to see beamng drive still being constantly updated with hughe overhauls or small tweaks to this day it also has fluid dynamics and aerodynamics and basically everything the only thing more real than beamng is real life and not by much and i saw a video a few weeks ago by another channel and they were explaining how beamng is the next racing game and honestly it could be the all around racing game from f1 to nascar to gt to rally wit hall the little tthings that are in between such as you said a co driver, or stuff like a radio in f1 ect

[@animation_station]

This is the best video you’ve ever done. Really enjoyed the raw enthusiasm. I suspect we have a great deal in common (I drive an M6 btw). Now All I need is a Lancia 037 in BeamNG and my life will be complete.

[@iiblackwolfiii]

watching how much they do at the moment I think we can actually see a future for BeamNG in within the next 10years.. espacially with the tech getting better and better

[@zepedrofd]

Every rallye sim: try to finish first! BeamNG: try to finish...period! And yet it's so satisfying!

I love that you can build the car yourself! If you build something stupid, you will blow up your engine just flooring it or crash at the first corner...or even first bump!

[@Incommensurabilities]

The last update included a revised tyre grip model, and it's a LOT better on tarmac now, perhaps dirt too

[@getsideways7257]

A common misconception is that the harder the experience, the more "realistic" it is. I wouldn't really call BeamNG "harder" than DR2 (and especially DR1). For me it's easier, since I get the reactions from the car I would expect from a real world car. In DR I would always need to adapt to the "physics" engine's antics instead, and my brain isn't very good at doing that. If you think about it, even putting aside ABS/TCS and other aids, real cars are designed by highly skilled and qualified engineers to be EASIER to drive, not harder. Even race cars are made with that in mind, while of course allowing for more room for maneuver from the pilot. So, what I'm trying to say here, these days BeamNG is extremely good as a sim, especially dirt/gravel and off-roading sim. I think it does old road cars much better than any other sim out there. I also love the recent R3E a lot and was a fan of rF2 for a long while now, but BeamNG is definitely one of the best sims out there, if not THE best.

[@copas2096]

>common misconception is that the harder the experience, the more "realistic" it is the same misconception happened with the F1 games, while they aren't completely sim the devs try to make the physics feel somewhat real but until F1 2020 the cars had less grip than what F1 drivers are used to, some drivers that were playing F12019 because of the pandemic last year were contacted by Codemasters and said that, in order to get similar grip to what they had in real cars, they had to turn on some aids, with that in mind Codemasters made the cars in F1 2020 easier to drive

[@lucaprado544]

I think what makes BeamNG harder is the lack of a co-driver, might not seems like much but it makes all the difference on a rally stage, specially on a track you have no idea whats up next. I've played quite a bit of dirt but I still need to buy BeamNG so I can see that myself, looks like so much fun

[@bardanmalla193]

Yeah this game is not trying to be a rally game and if we have same map in both games with even co driver. Dirt rally 2 will be alot harder and look at the car he is using lmao

[@lucaprado544]

@@bardanmalla193 I got BeamNG a month or so ago and I must say I have a harder time in rally on BeamNG than DiRT, and it is much more rewarding in BeamNG lol, the damage makes it much better than DiRT in many aspects, even though it feels like wheels can bend way too easly... The lack of a co-driver, iconic rally cars and more interesting rally stages still puts DiRT as my go-to for rally. One thing BeamNG also did much better was automatically recognizing my Thrustmaster T16000m joystick, being able to precisely and quickly move the wheels makes it for a much better experience, while DiRT I have to use the keyboard.

[@bardanmalla193]

@@lucaprado544 i mean does the difficulty comes from authenticity or because its not designed to be a rally game

[@lucaprado544]

@@bardanmalla193 Compared to DiRT BeamNG does a great job on physics, its difficulty comes from both authenticity due to the damage, where in DiRT you abuse the car, go flying off the road at 100km/h to get only a small dent, in BeamNG, you jump too high and break a spring, hit a hole while sideways and bend the wheel, etc... And also from the lack of features for rally, to me the co-driver makes a HUGE difference, the checkpoints BeamNG has are terrible for rally and most of the maps aren't all that interesting when compared to DiRT ones. But BeamNG gives you a better sense of... Consequences lmao, risk vs reward, as I mentioned, in DiRT you can really abuse the car with no consequences, in BeamNG you have to be more careful, when you get a close call its much more intense, and when you actually crash its much more fun lol

[@DrSmile81]

One of the best Early Access Programms i bought on Steam. Impressiv how this game evolved during the time from a performance/graphical pov. The Physics are best but the crashphysics had been a bit dumbed down for performance reasons. But the best part is the collaboration between Beamng and Automation. Now you can build your own car in Automation and drive it in Beamng. Together its just a epic sandbox for carnerds and i recommand it to everyone, espacialy to those who are bored by the "only GT3 and perfect BOP everything is the same" "Hardcore-Simracing". BeamNG is the only Hardcore Sim out there! Nothing comes closes to the simulation aspect - not RF2, not ACC, not Automobilista, not ETS/ATS, not Dirt, not RBR.

[@reecepooley6247]

I play BeamNG on PC with no steering wheel, and the Gavril Barstow is by far my favorite car. I've tried to find out why in my mind; maybe it's the time period, and shape or the aesthetics. But after watching this video, I realized it's because of the full lock either way. Keyboard is already full lock, so they go hand in hand. That is why I love the Gavril Barstow, and by extension, BeamNG.

[@Mcsnipe425]

Awesome video, I certainly agree with everything you said, transitioning from dirt rally to BeamNG now! New challenge, make a rally car in Automation and beat a car of similar calibration, trust me, it is fun.
