Taking On One Of The Most Difficult Challenges In BeamNG

[@FunkyHunk1]

Author of Leap Of Death here, glad to see Jimmy still enjoying the map. Heck I still do too. I made every bump, every meter of the roads by hand, bump by bump all the way to the top because I wanted a challenging road in beamng. I still almost never can drive to the top without resetting the car. Regardless of what car I use. It is now updated to work with the latest version of the game, and time trials is coming in a later update.

[@PeytonWX]

Dudddde I went up the walls no road, with a 580HP side by side (at some parts a 1400HP one) took about 5 hours and a lot of dedication. This map has some of the funnest trails ever. Good Job!

[@themechanist7875]

1:38 Well Jimmy, if you are looking for more things to do in BeamNG there are now laser scanned versions of the Nordschleife and Spa available as a mod :) Since the reworked physics BeamNG has come pretty close to a proper sim too. It's quite an experience to throw a race car around one of the tracks as if you are playing Asetto Corsa or something and suddenly be reminded it's BeamNG when you crash into a wall. Also pretty fun to try out the tracks with things we don't have in sim racing like a caravan, truck with trailer or other stupid things like a race car with a heavy box or mattress on the roof.

[@robertschneider8808]

I love to build the perfect ring-car and tweak them in Automation. That is a lot of fun.

[@josuecamargo9567]

Also, there's a multiplayer mod, so you can do a proper race there!

[@Ferrari255GTO]

I looked for the maps not that long ago and i just couldnt find them, where are they available?

[@wolfsbyte_]

Would you happen to have a link to those laser scanned tracks?

[@aspecreviews]

BeamNG is the most realistic consumer-grade vehicle (not racing) simulator ever. No other sim has a chance of realistically modeling things like automatic transmissions, torque vectoring, hybrids, stability control, and configurable drive modes. Not to mention every single part has physical properties and deformation...

[@aikumaDK]

This in VR would definitely be a sweat-inducing nightmare

[@Ferrari255GTO]

Because of the computer burning or because of it being kinda terryfing?

[@fix0the0spade]

@@Ferrari255GTO Yes.

[@shoailwaniya]

Not really, everyone plays the game like an arcade racer or they have horrible throttle control. The goal of this map is to navigate your way to the top safely with proper throttle control and not have the car going from 5mph-45mph really quickly. You keep it at around 15-20mph and its easy.

[@Pividol]

now that vr is officially here that would be cool to see

Jimmer, check out the Cave map mod. It's unique. It's similar to the leap of death and has a crazy descent to the pits of hell, followed by an insane climb back out. Perfect mix of fun and frustration.

What me and friends are doing is essentially doing TopGear challenges. Find car with value less than x or within the years y and z. Then just set ourselves challenges you'd expect from TopGear

[@jrc-3954]

It'd be interesting to watch Jimmy go to an off road driving course and learn how to drive off road and see how or if it affects his driving in challenges like this video. This map doesn't have really any challenging terrain for the Roamer Jimmy used and having done this myself, it's quite easy to get to the top without overheating or damaging anything more than the mirrors and running boards. I understand the whole slow as possible, fast as necessary mindset isn't very exciting for videos though but I'm also one of those people internally screaming "use low range" 😂

[@birdbon3s]

Jimmer you can press 5 on your number keypad and it’ll recenter your camera!
