The thing about this kind of physics sandbox is that there are certain kinds of simulations that aren't so "close" or "accurate" to reality when compared to a more traditional racing simulator. If you've ever tried lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleife with a high powered vehicle in this sandbox, trying to control it is a nightmare. This doesn't mean that BeamNG is inadequate as a simulator, it's just the parameters involved within BeamNG is very tricky to tune such that the vehicles behave more realistically. All of this is my uneducated opinion since I haven't actually done experiments between the different simulations to get hard data and find which bits are "more accurate" or "less accurate".

[@HarlesBently]

@@FreeSalesTips try using a wheel with this game. It is def fun and is nice

[@aspecreviews]

My favorite part of BeamNG: automatic transmissions actually behave like automatic transmissions. Seriously, why haven't other vehicle sims done this?

[@miy1925hassun]

I wish somebody would make an endurance racing game on BeamNG’s engine. How amazing it would be to have something like a 24 Hours of Le Mans with a proper damage model and mechanical failures, especially on vintage cars. Imagine driving a GT40, where on top of dealing with the driving and strategy like usual, you’d have to actually take care of the car as those were rather fragile pieces of equipment. You’d have to make sure you revmatch properly or you’d lose the transmission and be gentle on the engine and brakes to preserve them.

[@pushatsinfrared]

Hasan Özuğurlu the only issue is the physics model isn’t 100% yet so the car won’t always react right and the FFB ain’t perfect yet

If only more people understood just how good a sim this is. Yet the majority is heeding Jimmy Broadbent's opinion who never approached it as seriously as it requires. Crashes be damned, this thing has much more satisfying handling than the idiotic crashes. Might as well remove most of the jBeams and make it online-capable. By the way, Automation's cars have simplified jBeam structure, and thanks to that are less taxing on the CPU.

[@Sternendrache11]

Licensing was never a preventative factor for damage. That was just an excuse Gran Turismo made for years because their way of implementing it would have been overly time consuming.

[@Jezusbeznogi]

The problem with racing sims such as rFactor2, Assetto Corsa, or AC: Competizione is that they contain real, licensed cars, and the manufacturers of those real cars explicitly forbid sim makers to show their cars being damaged or destroyed; that's why the visual damage model is symbolic in these sims - not because of the deficiencies of the game engine, but because of the manufacturers' policy. If BeamNG were to obtain licences to present real cars, they'd most likely be forced to do likewise.

it already kinda has multiplayer, though it is third party and not official

Had this game for about 5ish years, crazy to see how far it has come since then. FFB however is not very good, atleast on lower end wheels. I have followed their official set up guide, used a response correction curve, tried various settings recommended by others and it just isn't on the level of other sims.

[@morgfarm1]

It's better than iRacing's FFB system, for sure. And I'm on a 5 year old G27.

Maximus Lockhart TURN STRENGTH UP, also mess with smoothing to get it to where it feels right. Test it with RWD non ESC cars so results of tests aren’t skewed by the front losing traction

[@Levibetz]

And here I thought I was crazy treating BeamNG as a sim racer. I gotta say, the one thing beamng really taught me an appreciation for is the fragility of tie rods, and the dynamics of automotive safety!

[@sigaming7544]

I am a full sim racer because I don't have a sim set up. But I am a really good driver and I am continuing to practice each day. This is a great game to get.

[@Legoformerguy]

I’d just like to say that calling Automation a “utility” for Beam is an underestimation. It’s a completely separate game with it’s own campaign mode and everything, and has been in development for almost as long as Beam has been. The car creator in Automation is among the most involved there is, going into fairly comprehensive detail be it in engineering or design. Not only that, the campaign mode goes deep into the business aspect of car production and is currently in rapid development. I absolutely love it, I’ve done almost 1000 hours in it alone. I highly recommend it if you love the work done behind cars 😄

[@LucasBE1]

I love how someone finally talks about BeamNG while understanding it. Great detailed video, but would've been even better if you talked about the multiplayer mod. ;)

[@captainzoll3303]

yeah, the progress on the multiplayer mod amazes me to this day. I wonder if the devs will implement it officially like gull's traffic tool.

[@umi3017]

BTW BeamNG also has one of the best system simulation for cars, like shift logic for different automatic gearbox, detailed stabilize assist software etc, etc.... It's kind of odd that for high end flight simulator, a clickable cockpit with detailed system function simulation is a must-have, but not as much as for driving sim.

[@initialyeet3951]

Maximus Lockhart there is split screen multiseat in settings and there is a multiplayer 3rd party mod called BeamMP

[@initialyeet3951]

Maximus Lockhart also beam VR would probably give people PTSD if they crash or whiplash

[@BlackStar250874]

Bought it several years ago, when I found one YT video by accident. My recent PC upgrade made it even better, with many cores carrying the physics calculation load. If you ask me, one of the greatest car simulators ever, even when it still not finished. And yes, I agree with the fact, that many see it too much as a one trick pony, that used only YT content creators for making yet another crash collection, when there is so much more under the hood. Cherry on top is the fact that I have great interest towards physics modelling, so... It is great to see how well it is done there.

[@Serzari]

I wish more of the racing and multiplayer content would take hold in the KZbin algorithm with this game. I think official leaderboards would do a lot to help stimulate a following for racing content on the platform, as I notice my speedrun videos do better compared to more general racing videos. Fingers crossed for the next update

[@Tech_Champ]

If this game was on console, I bet this would be one of the most popular driving games of all time.

And you can even use automation to build any car imaginable from the ground up and then drive it in BeamNG drive. Blows my mind every time.

[@Ghost_PM11]

I got this game in 2013, they had a quite crude website. You had to sign up, send a donation, leave your e-mail and wait. One of the guys would personally send you a key, it wasn't automated. The controls were a pain, but still got hundreds of hours of joy driving and crashing cars. Recommended 100%

@Retrodude 21 Watch Dogs is a B tier quality game so the fact you mentioned it shows that you have a different standard for games in general. Second, whether a game can be a simulator or a "crime" game is not mutually exclusive. Rockstar has clearly made efforts to balance realism in their games in a plethora of ways so your point that it is a "crime" game doesn't mean anything.

Thank you for the GT3 saturation comment in the beginning. We need to get away from that. There’s no rule that’s says sim racing has to be focused 99% on one class of car or what’s newest. Traditionally it was never hyper focused like that. There’s E Sports controlling sim racing content. Give me a Group C game and I’ll shut up.

Thursday is AC but ran rf2 we love the old stuff

[@sirrivet9557]

That’s one of the things I like about Beam ng: that there are ordinary cars in it. It’s not all heavily modified and super cars.

[@documentthedrama8279]

I love this idea. but my childhood dream (when i first played gran turismo) was to have cars that had every component that could eventually fail why wouldn't you buy a second hand car if it didnt matter how many miles are on the clock why are some cars more reliable than others... little things like batteries failing, valves and other parts going wrong- limp mode (every german car ever) - you could implement a model where some cars (japanese) were just more reliable but others (sports) had better handling and fun I would love a game that has a sim option- you start off with 10k - buy your car, race on the streets- and have to maintain the car- slowly make it stronger but be aware that every addition could break something internal break- a single crash mode could effectively make every race a thrill and force more cautious behaviour as a single crash could destroy your entire build. also a kudos system like metropolis street racer

[@McBeamer94]

I grew up with Gran Turismo and, in my humble opinion, Gran Turismo was the best in simulating car handling. But since I learned about BeamNG in 2016, my opinion has changed. BeamNG is simply the best simulation for car handling, it just seems so realistically natural (or naturally realistic) seeing a BeamNG car driving, turning, braking, drifting, changing gears... The party piece, of course, is the crash model of BeamNG and here is where this simulation has literally all other car sims thrown into the last decade. It is such a brutally honest crash model, I would say, that anyone being used to those other car sims will be in for a culture shock once they drive in BeamNG! And don't forget the amazingly realistic damage model of each and every engine component! Edit 1: Honestly, I don't care about licensed content in this sim. The fact that an original universe of maps, car companies, car models and car part companies is being created (and recreated, with every update) is a great indication of uniqueness and differentiation between this sim and all other sims! Edit 2: I'm not talking about Automation cars because they just feel too fake and tinfoily, both in their physics and in their crash model. They seem completely out of place in a sim like BeamNG. The only amazing pieces of that sim are the Automation Race Track and the engine modelling and dyno model. Nothing else.
