Guys, if you want to get the old bolide without going back to older versions, there is a mod called "Civetta Bolide Legacy Edition"

Is there the old covet version?

I was really young when I discovered this game, for years I would watch content all about it, I absolutely adored the game. And here I am, years later still absolutely loving the crap outta it. However I never really got a chance to really play the game and own it myself because I’ve never gotten a computer or be able to afford one😕 Edit: it’s been like forever since I posted this and I’m so happy to announce I finally scrapped up enough money to buy a pretty good laptop and yes, I finally got beamng drive! I’m sooo happy man it’s hard to put into words

Same i had the steamunlocked version for free but it sucked and then I bought it on Steam.

[@SimulatorAdventures]

I really like how colourful older BeamNG looks. The new lighting system really made the game look a bit darker and more photorealistic which is fine, but I think they should give us the option to revert back to these more colourful graphics.

How to truck 🚚

[@Offical_LadaRiva_1982]

0.18 was the peak before PBR was introduced

[@BaronKube]

I just turned 18 a few weeks ago so I’ve been getting really sentimental thinking “wow, my childhood is over”. Because of that I’m starting to appreciate things that made my childhood and one of those was BeamNG, I got the 1st or 2nd tech demo on my family’s old Windows XP computer back in like 2013-2014, then pirated the game (I was like 10 don’t blame me) and then officially bought it a few years later. I recently just got back into the game and I’m so happy the devs are managing to make it better and better with each update

[@endingtasks8538]

don't feel too bad about pirating it, the devs thank you for trying it out

I pirated the game on my laptop too but eventually bought it in a Christmas or winter sale in 2019 on Steam

[@BaronKube]

Dude.. even the music you used in the background was an immediate hit of nostalgia lol

[@NMH360]

The classic beamng update music

[@dumbdemolition1012]

I remember when WCUSA was added. Good times. I miss the old east coast map though, that wierd half circle intersection was fun

[@Asarchi]

Fun fact: Old BeamNG had louder/more hearable glass breaking sounds which these sounds were tuned down in newer versions

[@jwalster9412]

Even if it looks basically the exact same, drives the same, and have the same engine configurations (in the non turbo models anyways) the old bolide will always be in my heart. not only for the nostalgia, but because you could tellyl the devs really had no idea how a supercar is made. The single cell fuel tank, which is placed above the transmission, right behind the engine, in the EASIEST PLACE TO HIT IN A COLLISION. The chassis which is way to production car like for a 1980s supercar, but most importantly the bolt on fender flares, which made absolutely no sense but they kept for literally 7 for whatever reason.

[@Gamer_769]

Didn't know that, thanks for sharing!

[@chargeupgaming]

I remember getting BeamNG, it was 0.24, and my setup was a laptop hooked up to a keyboard, mouse, and small TV. The K-Series stood out to me, and all I did was just drive around, and admire the game. This game has come a long way, and I'm happy to be a part of it. So thank you, BeamNG, for giving me some awesome memories that I'll never forget ☺

[@SpiderDaveOG]

Lol. When I first started on beam (I started in 0.28.0 back in the good old covid 2021) I had an old bronze ASUS work computer with a cooler underneath it. The max I could handle was 9 cars spawned in with about 65 - 70 mods in the in-game repository (I would get attacked if i was at 80)...Now I have a small gaming pc with 16gb of Ram and can handle way more than 9 cars (approx. 20). I can also have about 100 mods with my small pre-built pc, any more mods and red warnings will start flooding the right top corner of my screen.

[@Just_AnotherPlayer]

I don’t remember exactly when I started playing but it was before the repository was added. Funnily enough I could run almost every map fine except for the flat featureless grid map

[@greystripe3737]

I remember finding BeamNG back in 2013, and playing Rigs of Rods before that. good times

[@LefsDailyAcc]

I love the old sounds of the Pessima. Brings me back to 2018 when I played the game a lot, it was before the Piccolina and Italy were added.

[@SpiderDaveOG]

the new V6 in the pessima gets annoying after a while, this on the other hand. i could listen to this all day long

[@ram_stick_samurai]

I played BeamNG in mid-2019, most of the stuff was like this and I barely remember it but I loved it. I only got 30fps but it was so fun. And that 30fps was on West Coast USA, one of the most intense BeamNG maps. I also don't remember the Pessima remaster before the actual remaster update came out.

[@mobslayer1553]

Thank you for this. This reminds me of all the time I spent watching YBR play this version. I only recently was able to start playing it, so I never got to personally experience the old Gridmap, so it was nice getting to take another look at it :)

[@Crankflame8]

There is an official mod for Gridmap on the In built repository.

[@VanilloOfficialYoutube]

same, i watched so much ybr back in the day

[@mexprod1318]

Something about the old graphics, the old UI, the old crash sounds just brings back so many memories. For a game that is 10 yrs old, it still receives awesome updates now and then. This just shows how far beamng has came when it all originally started with the d series early in 2012 or 2013.

[@SpiderDaveOG]

when i started in 2021 i was bummed the gridmap got a revamp because i grew up on WhyBeAre and the old gridmap and cars..

[@djbamba4200]

i was having 0.16 but the fun i had was so good that i still play it (even when the 10 FPS moment comes)

[@Dr_3am]

[@galactose3786]

Well, my BeamNG history goes all the way back to the tech demo in my 13 year old HP laptop.. D15 with 4.5 liter v8 and old and nostalgic gridmap..

[@SprintyFromUkraine]

First one I played was 0.6.1.0. If the pirated version hours i spent on it counted (I bought the game already though), I would have thrice as much playtime as I have on steam right now. It was and still is my favorite game. I remember when they changed the glass to be quieter and I got sad haha I also remember eating cereal while driving around on the old Utah and finding a gap in the map, which I fell into and got scared because I'm scared of the void (if that makes sense? Like looking up at the stars at night is also scary for me). Old engine sounds are so nostalgic, but what's more nostalgic to me is the old UI. I also remember when they added the garage, or perhaps I got less blind and finally noticed it - I went into the map and somehow broke it and drove out. There were other garages - or houses, I don't remember - and they were very non-detailed. Oh, and there's something so beautiful about the old graphics... Sure, they're bad compared to what we have now, but... I miss them... Remember driving around on dry rock island in a drag Barstow, and somehow crashing it into a tree in a way that made the front subframe disconnect. I also remember my favorite car - the SBR4! Damn, this is so nostalgic... Those were the times. I wish I could ever be as happy again.

[@thekralex7046]

I remember discovering the game at the age of 9 or something like that, and playing it hacked on my father old windows 7 4gb of ram laptop, it was a really old version, now im here playing the real 0.31 beamngdrive with a 800$ PC.

[@droidfloid]

I remember the version of BeamNG where all cars had the same old V8 sound :D

Now I have a full sim rig, VR, all the bells and whistles, my own two cars and a whole lot more i never expected to have this early

[@obeseufo3707]

omg dude I feel you, I started following after the first trailer, I used to watch a lot of RoR crash comps before beamNG was even a thing, watched yt vids about beamNG religiously until like 2016 when I finally bought it with chore money, and played it on my mom's laptop at 5-10fps before I got my own PC that could run it lmao, now I've got my own WRX (the sunburst was my fav car) and another car waiting for parts with a sim rig in my room, still running beamNG

[@HawkEM2]

@@obeseufo3707 dude I get exactly what you're saying, but a bit later since I'm younger. I was in kindergarten back in 2013 when I started watching, pretty much right when BeamNG came out to the public.

When I was 14 I bought my first car and bike on my own, and I got my license a few days ago first try. Hopefully I can 3D scan my car sometime soon so I can finally bring it into BeamNG.

[@URACELL.]

I remember this to before all the remasters 😂

[@sacr3]

Thankfully, when it was first released prior to steam, i was able to run it just fine. Was in my early/mid 20s and had a damn good rig. I remember that og bollide being virtually impossible to accelerate with a keyboard. Prior to beamng, my crash physics fascination was fueled by driver, driver 2 and driv3r. I tried a little rigs of rods, was a physics based crash game in which its developers went on to make beamng, but was fairly rusty. I figured by now that the physics in BeamNG would be more widespread, seems that it's still restricted to this one game. Since the developers haven't given up and have been releasing updates and new content for many years I am more than happy. My fear was that this project would eventually fizzle out within the first 5 years

[@FoxyVR14]

The og crash sounds... so much memories of unspeakable playing it or other people hearing that same exact noise😢

[@diecastreviews11]

My first version was 0.10. I had the feeling of finding something really fun in a video game which was this version of beamng. Played a heck ton in the grid map. God this brings so much memories.

Man it’s wild seeing people get nostalgic about *this* version of beamng. I remember before mods were even added to the game, when there were only a few maps, when they first added the vegetation and off-roading sections into grid map. It’s actually around 2018-2019 that I stopped playing beamng just due to life (I had been playing since 2014 at that point).

i started beamng before 2016 so seeing that menu is so nostalgic! i remember when there was only like 7 vehicles! I also remember the old ui and must agree it was much better!

[@AveragePootis]

I dont remember exactly when i started, it was before we got the first unique engine sounds and before west coast was added but i have a few funny quirks of the version i started off with. The older pessima had insanely weak drive shafts, if you went over the smallest of bumps or accelerated with wheels fully turned, the drive shafts would break. The newer Pessima crashed your game if you attempted to do a burnout. A bit later, when customization was expandes on, the shortbody d series with a 5.7 and all terrain tyres could go about 400kmh before the tires blew. You can imagine i was sad when the supercharger was nerfed and they added torque damage. Oh and on a side note, the first or second gen SBR6 with the race exhaust was the best sounding car in beam history (long as you drove it in 1st person or the bumper views) And another side note, the old lazy 6 cylinders (pessima v6 and the 70s I6s) sounded just incredible. They had great bass

It wasn't until April 2022 when I bought it full price and still my best game purchase, it was that same year when I got my first personal computer, an Asus F15 with an i5 11400h and rtx 3050; I use BeamNG now as a way to relax and imagine sceneries in my head for at least 10 minutes. I will never regret buying BeamNG.
