The BeamNG Iceberg Explained

In a game as detailed and versatile as BeamNG.drive, many Easter eggs, features or even entire game modes completely go unnoticed in the sheer complexity of the game. In this video, we’re going to look under the hood: Welcome to the BeamNG iceberg!

[@pigeondriver8992]

It's crazy that the devs support people trying the game instead of preventing piracy...

[@EyeMWing]

It's increasingly common for small developers to look at piracy differently: There are two kinds of pirates. The ones who do it for spite - they aren't going to buy your game no matter what, so it's not worth spending your resources caring about them; and the ones who do it because they *can't* buy your game - generally because it's just too expensive relative to their personal economics. This second group, you can address by keeping them on board and giving them a gentle nudge, all the while looking at where your game is being pirated, and adjusting your country-level pricing until the problem clears up. Sure, this might mean you're selling a US$30 game for the equivalent of US$1 in (for example) Argentina, but so long as other markets are covering your costs, who cares? Now you're one of the only games people there can afford, and you'll carve out disproportionately sized chunk of the local market.

[@JNico444]

Well we can also say that some people would like to try the game before buying it. I honestly have pirated Beamng for years and then when i bought a powerful PC i immediately bought it. I now have almost 2000 hours on steam and around 700 mods

[@Ryan69z]

I bought it in steam after i test it by pirating (buying was the best decision of my life)

[@turbo_marc]

Ironic considering how this community is full of people who cry about their mods getting pirated.

[@JNico444]

@@turbo_marc Well the thing about paid mods is very controversial: they have always been free and the reason is that even if some put great effort some might be a scam (and infact there are lot of scammy paid mods). I agree tho on paying mods but i would do something like this: Early access beta mods can be ok to be paid to support the mod development so that when the mod is fully released it’s free for everyone. Then another example would be having a free limited version of the mod and a paid one with more features. Another example would be making the mod free after some specific time so that for people that wants it immediately they have to pay (and so supporting the mod creator) and those who can wait will still have them free after some time. Or maybe making it free for limited periods of times. This ways could prevent some piracy

[@Holgzac6]

I am one of the modders that still make mods for Rigs of Rods. I am in the process of making a car mod so detailed, it'll be like a BeamNG dev-spec car.

[@SkyFall4839]

Ooo that sounds amazing!

[@Matt-qf6pd]

Nice, aways like seeing people still doing stuff with older games

[@playcer8388]

What's it called?

[@Holgzac6]

@@playcer8388 itll be called the "Tasman Hunter". I plan on releasing it on a Rigs of Rods mods discord between October and December. (I'll also add a link to it on a video trailer at the time).

[@billbergen9169]

RoR will always have a place in my heart

[@felipeferreira00]

A detail that i don't see people talking about (well, ever), is that if you look in the Vivace's rally livery, you can see that the co-driver name is B. Aguette. Not important, but cool

[@SkyFall4839]

Fun little Easter Egg!

[@C9LD]

and the other side of the car has a different name, (i forgot the name) but it pays attention to the realistic factor that the other name might be the name of the co driver, or even a second driver, meaning a rally team with two part-time drivers.

[@leafertYT]

also, in the dunekicker, near the ignition switch you will find some words that say “this side up”

[@imanolgarciaexposito3617]

Also on the amateur rally livery you can see the name "C. Rossaint"

[@Jackaboo]

The vivace gravel rally has m. Mouton which is a reference to Michelle Mouton who drove the Audi Quattro S1 back in group B days

[@ramennoodlesgaming1209]

I've personally owned BeamNG since 2013,2014 era, and have fallen in love time and time again, This brings back some good memories, as well as a really interesting different look at the game!

[@SkyFall4839]

You are a true veteran! I’m very happy that you liked it ;D

[@MatteoBelongsInAmentalHospital]

I've looked at beamng videos since 2015, and got it last year, right before the winter holidays. Didn't dissapoint. It's crazy how much you can enjoy a game. (On another note, the UI did bring me more bugs than i saw when i played on a friends computer in 2018, it's all delayed.)

[@DaREALReddie]

I knew about BeamNG ever since 2016 (because of KZbinrs like YBR, CrashBoomPunk, Insanegaz etc.), but actually started to play it in 2018.

[@eggleg1411]

12:20 thats the man who introduced me into it too but i never really knew who he was at first but now hes just.... gone

[@progun1corn]

As a modder: 15:00 the automated test map, it's used to generate info files. There are info files for each config of the car, this is the map that devs or modders used to generate performance info like 0-100 time, braking G force and etc. It's used with automated script which can be downloaded from BeamNG's documantation.

[@SkyFall4839]

Thanks for the insight, that’s interesting for sure!

[@73gtoguy]

I truly believe that BeamNG Drive's career mode coupled with multiplayer, can become the next "Motor City Online". The ability to build, customize, and fine tune your car are already in the game, as well as dealerships to purchase cars. The only things missing are the multiplayer, auctions houses, and rare parts/cars. I mean there is a dyno, you can customize the body roll, gearing, final drive, spring rates, tire size by with/aspect ratio+rim diameter. The tire-vs-ground type is already here in Beam. The damage/performance is much better than MCO(2001) but MCO had it 23 years ago. I'd love to have a a discussion with a BeamNG dev on the similarities between MCO and Beam.

[@SkyFall4839]

I 100% agree, can’t wait to see where the career mode goes.

[@erikthaboi4958]

My thoughts are similar but looking for a successor to Street Legal Racing, aside from the slowly developing Street Tuning Evolution

[@derekcoaker6579]

Motor City Online! Man, you're old. 😂 I also loved it. Lol

[@fxzn]

You mentioned YBR and how he introduced so many people to the game, and I thought "huh i've never heard of that guy"... then the clip of his voice played, and i was suddenly taken back 8 years, remembering the light blue gavril on the old classic grid map.

[@SkyFall4839]

Nostalgia hit 🥹

[@a_catfish5180]

I feel like a beamng “Volvo”would only make sense seeing how they’ve pioneered safety or maybe saab with their many quirks

[@nadeox1]

It was a surprise to see my old Rigs of Rods videos there :') Great quality video!

[@SkyFall4839]

Well, what can I say, I didn’t expect you to comment here either! Appreciate those words coming from you :D

[@thegeforce6625]

man i rememnber watching your vids back in 2010, good times...

[@Gr_And]

Sorry for my bad english... I played BeamNG for 200+ hours on my old account, and 700+ on my main account. I started to play this game at 10-11 years old (I will be 18 this year). I played LightRunner, Career mode for 20+ hours, Bus Driver mode, I have all the achivments, I remember the remote-control app and this goofy engine sound (26:47 - that's Soliad Wendover S3800) I want to say, that there is a decal creating opportunity in the garage mode, and you can also add your own pictures by replacing files with other but same named ones. I got almost all the iceberg, but it was some new facts about my fav game, thx for this video!

[@SkyFall4839]

Congrats, you're a true veteran! I was actually about to include the decals editor, but I decided against it because the video already was 30 minutes in length. Thanks for the additions though!

[@SkyFall4839]

Also, you don't have to replace files, you can just add images named `logo_yourname.png` so it doesn't replace anything :)

wow, i have just around 15 hours of BeamNG but i was still aware of everything shown on the video (except about the background for the unnoficial copies), the reason must probably be because i am in the community since 2016 and because i have watched thousands of hours of BeamNG youtube videos lol. i will send this to my friends to see how deep they got into BeamNG's iceberg.

[@SpaceGood.]

I knew all of these except the last two and the antipiracy screen. Some of them I forgot about until I watched the video. Also, thanks for mentioning YBR, as he is also the reason I found out about the game in 2015.

Congratulations!

[@JowoHD]

iirc the automated testing track is what's used by the game to automatically generate the statistics for configs that you see for every vanilla vehicle. you run a bat file (i believe) inside the game files after adding in the vehicle name and it generates 0-60, 0-100, offroad scores and all that. cool video!

[@Dedsec499]

I’ve never seen a vid like this on beamng, can’t wait

[@3Dsjk]

I understand why Bluebird sent a letter asking the devs to remove the bus mod; some copyright laws essentially say that if you don't defend your copyright, you risk losing it. They weren't seeking monetary damages or anything, they just sent a letter asking the devs to remove the mod, and everybody went on their merry way. Also, car companies don't want images of their cars being smashed into a million pieces out there (which is why you won't see licensed cars in the game, or crash damage in almost any game with licensed cars), and since there have been BeamNG crash videos being passed off as real car crashes on TikTok, they had to do what they could to keep it from happening.

[@bitelaserkhalif]

It's very rare for the copyright incident to happen on BMG forums. But there's a newer one. Ferrari mods. No, the gta 3 liberty city mod does not count since the OG author took it down because of responses Take Two given to modders.

The Stig was also removed.

This is awesome to see, as I've noticed most of these details over the now 11 years of watching/playing BeamNG since finding it through YBR. The ones I haven't seen are any of the monoliths added/removed other than Utah, scary stuff or some of the caves, the antipiracy screen, the connections/naming which I sorta saw sometimes, Jargl although I do know of Charmand because of the mod, the license plate trick, the first mod as I thought that was the HellHopper, the wet mode, the ice easter eggs, and cease and desist. Most of this is because I haven't had so much time to play anymore. I remember using the BeamNG app, lego technic wheel, and a controller with hot glued pedals to make a working beamng steering wheel and pedals before I actually got a real set. I believe the red car was a Wendover.

Great video mate! Isnt wendover the concept car which was released apart from hopper? I remember back in the day of 2014 or 15 there was a model of wendover posted by gabster. God why do i remember it😂😂

[@johnraven5517]

YBR also intruduced me to beam I rember the video, it was of a 20s car mod that he drove on small Island, the rear wheel flew when he brushed a small rock we both started to laugh histericaly, me expecialy xd

Reading that made me smile that’s so funny and sweet :)

I was interested in BeamNG the day it was announced while Rigs of Rods was still the version of what was being played (by the people that played it), i just didn't have a PC capable enough to run it at the time (P4, 6800 GT which barely ran Rigs of rods). The engine simulation takes a bit of performance to run correctly. including that on top of BeamNG would put many systems on the struggle bus. But if they was to only use the engine simulator to gather sounds from and import the sound files into BeamNG then that wouldn't put any additional strain on people PCs (which would probably be the better way, yes its a compromise, but the middle ground).

Thanks for referencing YBR. Bro was the GOAT

No doubt!

This is gonna be EPICCC!

[@SP.Spittlebug]

great video! everybody playing beam should ser this... a more in depth video for how the physics works would be nice as there is a hudge difference compared to other sims (where the car is just a box on wheels) and most people don't get that..

[@SkyFall4839]

Thanks, I appreciate your comment! I actually have a dedicated video talking about the physics of BeamNG in more detail, but I plan to remake it as I’m not 100% happy with it. Here it is anyway ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2eymnuchamdo6ssi=h6XsO_NW0CMKSjjB

[@sanjankrishna]

Where did you get those skins for the scintilla cause I dont think its there in my game... Btw, the video is amazing! Keep up the good work :)

[@SkyFall4839]

The anniversary skin? Just spawn a Scintilla, open the *vehicle configurator* and select ‘Anniversary skin’ from the *paint design* section. Thank you :)

[@Fr3ddy_cr]

As always an insane video I know how much time you putted in this video and I think it was worth the wait

[@SkyFall4839]

Glad you think so :D

[@a_catfish5180]

I think adding the ange engine sound system might be a bit too hardware intensive for the game but would be interesting if they had a lite version of it

[@drillofillo]

The brand "FPU" in beamNG must be based on "Argo", as argo makes literally the same ATVs, but in real life

[@Liam-kw2ff]

This video is so good! This one made me sub! 🎉

[@SkyFall4839]

Thanks for subbing, I'm glad you like it!

[@rxivild]

while i knew about 95% of these facts, i loved this video and to this day is the only iceberg video i have watched to the end. when did you start playing beamng? i started on a cracked version on a potato laptop in 2017, stopped playing and bought it in early 2020, all due to ybr.. good times

[@something887pl]

As i realised light runner is in beamng, i started to play it and i'm still playing it because its very similiar to first game i played, that had similiar tracks, except you were driving either Nissan GT-R or Lancia Delta hf integrale

[@MFB124]

Im so glad you featured WhyBeAre. he is who got me in to Beamng and even PC gaming.

[@Exponaut_R-01]

Super early audio and handling physics take me back On a laptop at 5 FPS, the eternally visible white UI, not knowing how to change cars, flat tires being one of the most unsightly things...

[@jme.147]

first got the game in 2016, one an old laptop it ran like a slideshow, then finally got a slightly better laptop which it kind of ran, and then finally got a gaming pc in november 2018

[@dinothatis_ian]

18:30 how did you get your camera to behave like that? Is it a mod or are there settings in game that I can change to have the camera shake and zoom out like that?

[@SkyFall4839]

It‘s a mod -> www.beamng.com/resources/enhanced-chase-camera.29131/

[@dinothatis_ian]

@@SkyFall4839 thanks! :-)

[@InevitableMayo]

I was introduced to the game by NerdCubed when he uploaded his first video on it. He let the pickup fall to the floor in slow motion and the moment I saw the soft body physics at play, I paused the video and bought the game. No hesitation.

[@Truckerboy1234]

Just to tack onto the whole dynamic weather thing, Beamng already has dynamic clouds that can be set for cloud cover, speed and fog so making rainy weather is already completely feasible in that sense. There is also multiple sections in the ETK driving centre that include wet asphalt, as well as mud at certain points in multiple maps, so changing the road conditions is also certainly possible. They also have a section of icy terrain in the terrain testing areas of both gridmaps, despite it showing up nowhere else in the game. Seems weird to me.

[@dotcinematics]

And on top of that, you can add rain as an effect in world editor. It’s only a matter of time

[@SkyFall4839]

That's true, the only thing that's probably holding dynamic weather back is performance reasons. Having wet or icy surfaces is one thing; dynamic surfaces that can change in real-time are another. In addition to that, an actually good weather system would require volumetric clouds, which would hurt FPS a lot. Let's wait though :)

[@travision9105]

so much effort in this video, I really hope this gets more views!

[@SkyFall4839]

Thanks :)

[@skybarkerton]

i got a pirate version originally and i remember when they added the covet as the second vehicle iv since bought the game but it’s crazy how far they’ve come

[@A1C6]

I’m glad you remember YBR

[@Sinxres]

If you want to add to the lore side of BeamNG, there's a rock stack on the Utah map near the tourism center. It could be a memorial for a driver who attempted the jump in the mineshaft and failed

[@boggis-sw5cc]

YESSSS ITS FINALLY HERE 🔥🔥

[@iamn4m3l3ss7]

I used to play on a pirated copy of beamng when i was broke and young. Always had the pirate background but never thought of it as a sort of anti piracy thing. Pretty cool. I’ve ofcourse purchased the game and im just having a blast racing a bmw e36 through the need for speed most wanted map.

[@poultrypants]

That was a great video! However, I did have some trouble understanding what you were saying at times.

[@SkyFall4839]

Sorry about that, I subtitled the entire video though, so you can turn on the subtitles if you can’t understand something :)

I haven't seen a video that goes so deep into the history and facts of beamNG this was really interesting to watch :)👍👌🇸🇪
