My main issue with BeamNG is it doesnt have a good pacenotes system.. there are mods but it isnt easy/fast to edit.. hopefully the devs will come up with a solution for that.. BTW.. those red checkpoint things are just plain stupid..
@@Matty.Hill_87 lisenced cars will never happen sadly. no company would wanna put their car in a game where you can then destroy said car in a million different ways
@@Ystijger unless they want to advertise how safe their cars are and do something like it has virtually indestructible parts or whatever.. or just for the memes (we live in the meme era so why not?!) but yeah.. i don't see it happening.. we will probably have to rely on mods forever for specific cars
I really recommend you check out the mod for pikes peak, it should be available within the in game repository and comes with both the tarmac and an old school full gravel dirt version which makes for a very fun and high speed rally stage that is my personal favorite for beam
I live 30 mins from the base of pikes peak and it’s amazing driving it in real life and then doing it in beam and launching off cliffs I see in real life lol
Funny how you said you could go from BeamNG to the rally games on hard mode. I’ve tried because I thought the same thing. The rally games you are 100% glued to the ground. Beam is a whole different animal. Way more fun to try and tame.
You will get endless hours of fun. I’m poor AF but I splurged on a Logi G920 and pedals with H-pattern, literally the lowest half-decent rig, with some extra cash from working Doordash and its among the best $300 I ever spent. I have about 1,000 hours playing Beam in and probably more than that playing original Asseto Corsa and I still drive every single day after work, even when that work is driving around town delivering food. Only think though, try to go belt-driven instead of gear-driven if at all possible on you’re wheel, higher quality of FFB for not much more money.
@@Gandalf721 Yeah, I’ve seen the Fanatec CSL DD bade for what, $350? That’s great. You also need a hub and wheel rim. What’s that cost? You also need pedals, including if you are me a clutch and H-shifter. By my estimate looking at their site that’s about $1000, right?. Very much worth it for the quality, but you can still get ALL the things you need to drive for half that elsewhere. If I could ACTUALLY go the Fanatec route for $400 I would do so next paycheck, but it’s just not that simple.
@@cmbaileytstc yeah, a cheap and basic csl dd set will cost $700-800. Without clutch, and situational steering wheel, also without full power of the base. A t300 for example is still great, $300-400
3:42 Uhm Ermin, you do know there's a pace notes mod that gives you both on-screen and voice course notes for most of the official rally stages. Probably supports all of them now, it's been a while since i used it to be honest. But you should surely give it a try.
A couple days ago I just did this hillclimb in the ETK K series car (mod) using a suped-up version of the rally preset and got a 6:19, made me think, it'd be really cool to have a back to back of you doing a tough stage like this in the suicidal Civetta and again in one of the other rally cars. Like the imola video you did! Great work as always dude, always happy to see your videos
Wouldn't happen most likely. Official license means official cars, and we all know that manufacturers really don't like when cars in their games can be smashed
ermin, you might want to try the rally pace notes mod for a "co driver" and you could also get the etk k series facelift mod as it includes a pretty cool GT3 variant which may be useful for hot laps and such.
I've recently been experimenting with BeamNG, and I ended up downloading the nurburgring map... I then proceeded to build myself a turbo K-series Accord-ish time attack car. I have yet to make my way 1/3 through the track lol, but it's so challenging and hard with a xbox controller... little steps I guess.
I'd love to see you thrash the Wigeon "Mantis" around some rally stages on JRI, it's quite a twitchy bugger, but it's got a lot of potential on those tight stages.
same, legit took me 2 nights of grinding before I finally managed to get a 6:55 (heavy damage) and a 6:26 (missing my mirror due to a rock and my rear right tail light from an accidental drift tap). Like hot damn even my inner masochist was crying after night 1, like unless you hit the perfect flow and maintain it through the entire stage you're going down the mountain, that being said the second right hairpin is super fun... though that left right after ate my front left tire more times than I'll like to admit and that one bloody left on the asphalt ended so many runs, and of course it only gets harder and less forgiving from there. If someone manages to complete that course on keyboard with minimal damage in sub 7 mins they're a god.
A massive crash after spending an hour or 2 on a rally stage is the most satisfying thing, and no there isn't a much harder car or course you could have chosen lol I think you should try the "desert trails" map and take the d series full sized trophy truck down it full throttle tho, that'd be very awesome to watch lol
4:06 "nothing is straightforward in this car", I disagree there are a lot of things straight forward. They just tend to be the obstacles on the side of the road.
Beamng is the game that convinced me to get a controller years ago, and now I think it will be what convinces me to get a wheel if I ever do. I can't imagine being able to drive like this without a wheel, unless you don't mind reseting about 45 times Edit: 45,000 times XD
Ermin, you should try LFS, It's an old racing game and I would like to know your opinion about it, It recently got an update that let's you use modded cars online, making it a lot more diverse then It was back then.
Ermin, if you weren't in the opposite side of the planet, I would absolutely be your co-driver for BeamNG Rally. I mean, I'd still make time over discord, but like.... It's harder.
I initially liked this thing for it’s looks and for the idea of it, but after racing my hardest on two rally courses and not managing to come close to my time in any other rally car (not even the Piccolina with 3x less power to weight), I’ve realized that this thing is just not capable. Definitely needs a complete retune.
That's most of Beams cars, and the higher end ones in particular are the worst. Probably because small issues are less prevalent in the lower powered cars, but this car is straight suicidal all the time. At no point does any of the configs want to go remotely fast or in anything resembling a straight line.
@@JZStudiosonline Actually, I've had no particular troubles with any of the variants except the Group 4 Rally and the Group 5 Race variants. The Group 5 wasn't so bad too start with, either, but Ermin complained about understeery brakes, and sure enough, the devs came out with an update that makes the brakes completely oversteery, because they couldn't just do a small tweak (I think they went from 58% front brake bias to 54% or something. Could've just done 57% or 56%). All the other variants consistently understeer; even the Top Speed variant, which should be unstable without the wing, still understeers like crazy. Normally, downforce would increase grip at higher speeds, but the Notte variant actually loses front end grip when it's already understeery. I think the aero model sucks ass, to be honest. So if you want to criticize the Bolide over understeer as well, then yeah, they all have problems. The road tire variants are also loose on grip, but that's to be expected from 80s road tires.
@@J7Handle I'm trying to remember if I've tried the remaster with a wheel, but they all used to be terrible. And doing tunes in Beam is tedious and annoying. I want a resource for people to just post usable tunes so everyone can use them.
As someone who has actually driven low hp rally, i can tell you that something does not feel right with BeamNG.. you would have more traction on dirt and even tarmac with the tires that are used. yes, of course its not like driving on rails, but i feel like BeamNG makes it feel like im driving on wet tarmac roads rather than getting the grip from the tires digging into the gravel. im not saying everything is bad, but the feel of traction just does not feel realistic from my experience. other than that, i love the game and wish other rally games would implement more damage physics into their games :)
The thing I find most infuriating about racing sims is the lack of fine response. In real life I never have issues staying in the middle of my lane, but in a racing sim I weave all over the road. The reason is if you pay attention to how much you move the wheel to round a curve in real life it's barely anything, it's essentially micromovements, and more pressure application than anything. Even with force feedback I've never felt real feedback in a sim. I find that in a sim when the car starts to drift to one side I start apply slight counter movement but the response is...nothing. In real life you can feel pressure change on the wheel even from a slight camber change or asymmetric drag, and subconsciously correct it. For example, in a Lancia Stratos most people would have no issue going around a hairpin at 10-20 km/h staying within centimeters of the desired path. In a racing sim only elite players have such control.
OMG I love this route!!! I have tried it in easy mode though (no manual shifting, with the legran rally configuration), so I do suggest you to try this route but start easy before moving at more advanced cars/handling.
nothing exsits me more than seeing ham samwich has uploaded more beam ng content. also i would love to see a stock miata with a turbo and suspension tune go round the nord. to see how times compare to IRL
You want harder challenge ? Try this: Turn on traffic with cops on Freeroam Italy Crossroads map, turn right, merge into the highway, and then drive a full loop on Fastello road, all the way to the airport where you can lose those cops. If you can do it in any stock car on the default difficulty, I will be impressed.
I recommend to not go full lock on brakes, they will wear out and plus, it slows you down less when you lock. I would also recommend trying Pikes Peak mod on the tarmac version using the Civetta Bolide asphalt rally because it shows how the gravel variant works while at high speed, and also, it is amazingly fun to drive.
Just started watching your videos. Nice driving. I wonder if you've heard of "Automation". It's a game where you design cars. And everything in those cars. And you can export the designs to beamng. Would be cool to see you drive some community created rallycars or supercars.
I would like to convey to the people who don't play beam it's not hard because it has bad controls and simple design it's hard because it's complicated and detailed every part on the car as well as every aspect of the ground, gravity, atmosphere, damage on the car, and even the tune on the suspension, tire pressure, and nitrous
I know it’s a bit late but if you wanna try the same thing with a rear race sway bar it fixes the oversteer issues cause I’m not sure if you had it or not
Jesus christ this game needs more focus on tire model physics tire temp and wear and i dont see why it couldnt become the best driving simulator ever made.
[EDIT] Dont read this comment, I was completely wrong. I'm surprised you didn't use the gravel variant which would be more at home on dirt, the time lost from that small ltarmac section is miniscule compared to using the proper tires assuming the dirt tires actually grip up some on dirt in beam
Not sure if its harder but the Jungle rock island dirt stage 2 in the civetta was fun and hard to do Personal best: 1:51,988 with the stock group 4 bolide on xbox controller
I want you to pick a car, tune it up with aftermarket parts, ECU tune and mods for powerm then choose a track and tune the setup (suspension, anti roll bar, alignment) and try to set the fastest time
This hill is difficult in the ETK rally car let alone that thing. ETK is my goto rally car just for the H pattern. My mates and I spent about 3 hours trying to complete this. Was an absolute blast
Oohh beam looks really good. I wasn't sure about getting it but it looks like a blast. Open world driving and it has hill climbs and things in it which seems fun. Gonna give it a try
Now its time to do this modded stage on utah that you might have to search for in the search bar, its about 10 km if im right and your challenged to do it in under 7 mins, I haven't even finished it yet and I've tried probably 50 times
I'd love to see a recce feature in beam that allows you to pre-run a stage, stop, and drop little voice memos that then play back earlier in the path for pace notes.
The other hillclimb on Italy ( 100% asphalt to a small village on top og the mountain) is very fun as well, just need to do it in and old american muscle...
