The fact that modders can create *physics-based* planes is literally incredible 🔥

[@jwalster9412]

Even better t Is the physics based planes passed on cars (especially the ibishu pigeon

its how the physics engine works is how you can literally make anything and have realistic physics, Thanks to the nodes

[@beamenthusiast6771]

It’s honestly crazy how much is being simulated in this game… And people still think it’s just a boring crash sim… Amazing introduction sky! ❤

[@SkyFall4839]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@TheKUGuy]

Well demolition is almost always satisfying, the more realistic the better. But I agree, the game runs so much more, making realistic races and physics planes. BeamNG is a masterpiece of a simulator.

[@beamenthusiast6771]

@@TheKUGuy couldn’t have said it any better ❤️

[@psychlord1]

Beamng IS my racing sim.. nothing else works the way beam does for me, as an added bonus, I will never run out of vehicles thanks to automation.... infinite fun!

[@stanleybochenek1862]

Car crash sim

[@relatble1146]

3:08 woah the deformation looks so incredibly realistic. Good job devs & hats off sky for this very informative and entertaining video!

[@McBeamer94]

Also about the simulation of aerodynamics, the crazy big rear spoiler of the Bolide 320 GTR deforms downwards at above 300 km/h, which is amazing! 😎

[@snowylasacape6059]

I finally got the soft-body part! Thank you so so much! 😃❤

[@SkyFall4839]

You're welcome!

[@Raphael-vh1wv]

It’s amazing too see that nearly everything is simulated, I thought only the car are but the water is also simulated and I think with tire simulation and tire thermals BeamNG is going to be the best and accurate simulator that exists

[@SkyFall4839]

The devs put so much effort into BeamNG, it's crazy!

[@Raphael-vh1wv]

@@SkyFall4839 I think this is the only game that developers put so much work in, I just started BeamNG and a new hot fix came out and it says that the anniversary livery on the scintilla got updated 🤔

You’re welcome! 😁

[@54T4NIC_R1Tv4L]

Ok ngl destructible environment (buildings, trees, poles, fences, etc) could be one of the best updates

[@SkyFall4839]

Definitely! It’s not announced yet though and I doubt that it will be in the near future. It’d just not be playable on today’s computers…

[@blazesmooth5573]

​@@SkyFall4839rtx 4090 probably could definitely run it on 1080p, just needs a good cpu

[@dovedukes]

that’s the problem, kind of hard to get, very expensive and again no will pay that much to get environment destruction physics

[@WilliamNyberg]

All I want is a few physics objects in the world. It doesn't even have to be complicated. I just want to be able to knock over that smallish sign instead of wrapping my entire vehicle around it.

[@llHllAllRllSllHll]

need a full race series for it. would be fun to watch good racing.

[@lilpsychofficial]

4:05 imagine if they made burnouts raise the temp of the tires and produce extra grip, that would add so much more

[@XoTicLy]

That would be epic

[@joli22]

I think they actually said they're working on it

Very nice and detailed video with good music in the background!

[@SkyFall4839]

[@tylermatheson4376]

I think the three things to be added to the game to make it the best sim ever 1 tire thermals-tire wear 2 deformation on terrain 3 scratches and dirt marks on vehicles when needed

[@Blessvd1]

this video made me love the game i just bought even more

[@AutisTECH96]

BeamNG Drive cannot be beat by any other racing game, no matter what, the physics are %100 accurate to real life, as well as the tuning, visual modifications, sound design, environments, the freedom to make and add your own mods, right out of the gate, and last but not least, the dev team worked on this game for over 10 years. Now THAT'S dedication, right there! 😎👌🏻🔥

[@SkyFall4839]

I 100% agree!

[@lucid523]

also the higher you go the more your engines struggles

[@KingGodzillaFan]

for the tire wear, i think it should be an optional feature in the settings because if you are just trying to explore beamng in a fast car to get around the maps it could be a bit annoying but that's just my opinion

[@SCIFIguy64]

The only thing I don’t like is how small trees and signs are absolutely anchored. If I could fold a stop sign over instead of folding around it, it’d be the most immersive game for me.

[@theracingexpress3006]

This Video is physical!

[@apgde]

Wow! You've came so far! I just realized u had 7.7k subs!

[@VHS_Serenity]

3:06 they implode, the oposite of explode, explode is when their forced outwards and rip itself apart, implode is the oposite, the water pressure crushes it, causing it to implode

[@SkyFall4839]

Yes, you’re right. I’m sorry for the mistake, thanks for noticing :)

[@VHS_Serenity]

@@SkyFall4839 :D sorry if I sounded rude

[@pigeondriver8992]

How many videos are made about this? I'ts still really good that beamng made people understand how advanced softbody works...

[@goobner420]

Man the music gives me insane nostalgia...

[@jasiepesie5804]

4:00 I think BeamNG does have a little tire wear simulaton, because i turned my Bastion into a drift car and after drifting around for a while my rear tires would just explode

[@eurybaric]

I lit one up and this was quite a trip with the music and physics happening

[@arhamgamingroom]

Only the real people will understand how the BeamNG soft body physics work if they play the game like me

[@jaebinsong3078]

Beaming drive is gaming heaven

[@MeadeJ67]

It's already the best driving simulator, nothing else feels as connected.

[@Zukirin77]

where did you find that helicopter mod?

[@imanolgarciaexposito3617]

Great video!! But deformable and destructible environents would kill the optimization and would be almost imposible to add. Also isn't this unrealistic? 4:44 Btw I totally agree with the overhaul of tires physics, but I don't think that the devs are planning to add it yet

[@nutzernutzeramstart2723]

I think destructable invironments would be nice if you had the option to turn it of. And yes the crash was unrealistic but it's probably only a simple mod.

[@SkyFall4839]

I'm sorry if the heading "To be added" was missunderstandable, I meant things that we'd like to see in BeamNG. And yeah, the crash was probably exaggerated, but that's because it's just a mod :)

[@imanolgarciaexposito3617]

​@@SkyFall4839 that's just my opinion. You don't have to apologize! Very good explanation of the nodes and beams part

[@Just_AnotherPlayer]

I didn’t know the stunt plane and helicopter mods still worked

[@Pividol]

The game would massively improve with destructible fences guardrails and telephone poles

[@GalaxyLime]

1:16 submersible reference

[@matirodri]

4:20 yes there is a public tire wear/thermals mode, just search it up in the repo!

[@SkyFall4839]

Yeah, I’ve even made a video on it! This video was released before the release of it though…

[@Kajahu0715]

Let's be honest, you will need a god-tier pc to handle fully destructible environments.

[@mecadeca4549]

although the physics are great, i personally think all cars should have double the nodes, like for example the d series has many spots where there are no nodes and the roof has like 8, when you roll over the windshield turns into a spike almost

[@Xtrachunky]

That would be nice but i think that if they do add it there should be a way to change how detailed the jbeams are so that you can still run the game on lower end pcs

[@fandle1178]

yeah sometimes when you crash there are spikes but there actively working on fixing stuff like that i dont really see it on official cars more modded cars

[@blazesmooth5573]

​@@Xtrachunkyyou could always add a settings where you can choose for higher jbeams or lower
