This BeamNG ESCAPE THE FLOOD Map Terrified Me

[@Jimmy_Broadbent]

MY GUYS I know it might not visually look like I used any Nitrous on those runs, but for whatever reason the Nitrous was either infinite or it wasn't showing on the HUD when it was being used. The easiest place to see it in use is at 7:52 where I get an overtorque damage warning from using the Nitrous right at the start of the stage. You also see my BHP jump to 350. Keep in mind that it pretty much wouldn't be possible to get this without extra power, given I was running a completely stock truck save the happy gas.

Creator of the map here, glad to see you enjoyed the challenge :)

[@captaindelta43]

Nice map mate

[@MrMartinSchou]

I've seen a few videos with people running this map, and I'm wondering - does BeamNG support random asset spawning? E.g. as the water is triggered, preplaced assets spawn randomly, which means you can't really get an advantage from playing the map other than knowing what you can expect around each bend. You won't know for certain that there's a massive pot-hole or a digger at the side of the road or if there's a boulder on the left or right side of the road etc.

[@xkimopye]

If only forza devs had your ingenuity

[@10isawsome]

Sweet concept! Thanks for creating the map for us!!

[@joshuajackson472]

It'd be great to see variations on the theme...escape a wildfire, run from a tornado

[@clumsygarage1578]

Jimmy using the rare "This thing handles terribly, I'm going to seriously modify it" and then leaving it on the exact same truck tires technique.

[@TrolledBy]

Racing slicks wouldn't help much when 30% of the road is covered in mud, collapsed, or straight up fucked

[@classiestbogan]

@@TrolledBy BeamNg has rally tyres and the slicks are prob still better than the truck ones.

[@mh13mini]

@@TrolledBy switching to rally tires is the play

[@Alzoryne]

he also said it handles terribly and he loves it

[@vexedpixels]

His biggest problem for handling probably wasn’t even the tires, because he can handle stuff sliding. The issue was the lack of weight in the rear, it was way too front heavy and it made it impossible to control

[@jasperkuipers368]

You have to love Jimmy being over the moon about the NOS he isn't using

[@randomhero123]

Really using the nitrous! He says as his tank remains 100% full lol

[@CWINDOWSsystem32]

Placebo effect nitrous is the best kind of nitrous.

[@TrolledBy]

He did say the nitrous are infinite though

[@Basomga]

He also put locking diffs, forgetting to lock them lmao

[@FattyLumpOfPoo]

​@@TrolledBy nah the icon next to the speedo goes blue when its turned on and green when its in use or the other way round either way it changes colour

[@hairyarmour8487]

Would love to see a downhill version on a volcano. Escape the pyroclastic flow.

[@Kumoiwa]

That's genius

[@NorthStarBlue1]

There is a version of this that replaces the water with lava, so i could definitely see someone making a downhill course like that.

[@rocksteadyska6933]

Escape the pyroclastic sounds like a wutang clan battle rap tournament 😂

If beamng had physics based water/liquids that would be a cool thing

[@hollowkatt4821]

I love how at the end you basically built/found the GMC Syclone and then did exactly what Car and Driver did over 30 years ago, complained about how it's too truck for the street and too street for truck things. Gotta say watching you blast up the mountain in that beast was super fun! Neat that video games can allow us to explore things we'd be deeply terrified of doing in real life, and maybe even have a laugh or two while we're at it

[@TheVerendus]

About the "skateyness" of the tarmac, that map is not representative of the typical asphalt surfaces in the game. It's designed to be bumpy and uneven for the difficulty, but if you go on any other map with roads it is much smoother and feels better. Honestly I'm not a huge fan of that crater map for that exact reason, the road does not feel natural at all. Also you never turned on the nitrous! You need to press B or click it in the bottom right (itll turn green when armed and turn blue when on the throttle and spraying nos)

[@sedixmrboss5625]

There is a BUG with the nos. He was using it, using the Toggle NOS keybind. Try it out, it's insane.

[@Sithhy]

There is no bug with nitrous, it's been like that since they introduced it. They could change the behaviour a bit to make it usable only after toggling it, but the way it's worked up until now was intentional

[@illuminaticat4861]

pretty representative of the roads from where I'm from 😢

[@FerralVideo]

Re 1: Having tried this map in a slightly modified Covet EE - Yes, that road is SO bumpy. That little car survived, barely, and did NOT like the mud area. I imagine I could have had a slightly better time with larger mud-grip tires. Re 2: They literally just dropped a patch today fixing that bug. "POWERTRAIN: Fixed N2O not being used correctly when manually triggered." Source: It's on my Steam patch notes on the other monitor while I type this.

[@VVilla1n]

It's always a good day when Jimmer uploads

[@coliimusic]

Felt, this made my afternoon

[@405conventional]

Indeed

[@chrism869]

It always makes my day, when he he punctured the tire I was like ops Jimmy did an opsie

[@kibbo0]

It kinda reminds me of water level raising in Worms games after every round

[@sillyslapper92]

[@matthewhughes3147]

I'd love to see a series on this where you try to beat the flood in different cars, working your way back from supercars to the lowest spec possible still to beat it

[@uncannysnake]

A supercar would be one of the most difficult vehicles possible to try to beat this. It would get shaken apart completely in the dirt sections and the tarmac on this map is made intentionally bumpy and terrible, it would not enjoy those sections either

[@KonekoNyan]

@@uncannysnake *Laughs in Ferrari FF*

[@Astraeus..]

I grew up basically along a flood plane. Long story short, every spring our backyard (usually just that) would flood quite rapidly. Parents finally had to demo the house a few years ago after it flooded out entirely the 2nd time in about 10 years (and insurance wouldn't cover it as it was a known flood zone).... So yea, flooding freaks me out a bit, but in games it doesn't bug me too much usually :P

[@xPeopleKindx]

Jimmy, thank you for the trigger/phobia warning at the beginning, its rare that big youtubers do these, and it helps a lot!

[@a8f235]

Man, this is gold. Need more games where you don't need to be serious like this.

[@tomgreen876]

[@bearrett50kal17]

First saw this on FailRace, happy to see Jimmer race the flood too!!!

[@bexyd5750]

Appreciate the thalassophobia warning Jimmer. But part of this phobia is the morbid curiosity that makes us unable to look away

[@dracul_gras]

this is why i both love and hate games like subnautica. im horrified but cant look away

[@MattyT_86]

It's why I love to watch those oil rig documentaries on youtube. And submarine ones.

This feels like a mix of a next gen Top Gear challenge and a decent 90s disaster movie. Pretty fun watch, glad I found it

[@theclosedone8248]

"so I've done what all terrified American do to their truck and add more power" is genuinely one fo the best lines I've heard in years throughout your videos

[@somethingrio]

Oh Jimmy I know why beamng skips on tarmac, with the node system the tyres have fixed points, by pressing CTL on the keyboard you can see this, where there isn't nodes the tyres have a flat point, at slower speeds like 1-3 mph you can see that the car basically trods like it's in square wheels, which is why on dirt you don't notice, it's a bit of a shame but hopefully they fix it.

[@wumbology72]

"the tires have no grip" while running street tires and uses locking diffs in the unlocked state. also yea that modded map has an extra bumpy surface making the truck bounce

[@Dasspapirfly]

Really need to pick up BeamNG at some point, seem like a bunch of fun. Maybe get an H-shifter for it too.

[@rafox66]

I totally recommend it, got 300+ hours in it and I'm still having fun with it every now and then. It's one of if not the only early access game that is actually worth buying, it was already great and has only gotten better and better with every update. The only downside is that my pc is starting to have problems running it now, but my hardware is also 9 years old now.

[@kak8895]

Last update the clutch physics on manual transmissions got updated so you should definitely play this with an H-Shifter. The clutch bites are way more realistic.

[@charliemartin8955]

"Suspension handles like shit! It's fast but it handles like shit!" Well, yeah, you forgot the next step in upgrading...if you can still feel the suspension, MORE POWER!

If you leave it in Low Drive it can still get to 95mph. Use torque curve app to see HP. Wheel torque is massive because it gets all the transmission ratios to multiply it. He upgraded open diffs to open diffs that can lock then didn’t lock them. They aren’t LSDs.

[@maloyberg]

How pussified has our world become where a commentator feels the need to give a heads up to those with…”flood/deep water anxiety”?! How did Jimmers miss giving a warning to those with a fear of car crashes??

[@jessicadragonare7993]

It's not very hard to understand where he's coming from. His regular viewers would not be afraid of car crashes due to the content he puts out, but could be afraid of deep or rising water. It is not difficult to respect the people that are bringing you your paycheck.

[@squidwardo7074]
