How BeamNG Will Become the Ultimate Racing Simulator 

Actually BeamNG is the only game that i know of, where ESP is simulated properly. It brakes individual wheels when the car is sliding out of control. Also, it fully simulates dual clutch and torque converter gearboxes, which no other game does

Paint scratches have been so wanted by the community and when crashing there's still lack of detail such as dust clouds, debree and tearing of material. Never seen a game tear material and I'm looking forward to BeamNG's iteration of this. They currently have a similar mechanic, but it's not as realistic since it just makes parts stop rendering.

The little details like: rear wheel drive, live axle, open diff burnouts will spin only the right tire and not the left make the game so much more unique than other games.

There's definitely aero in Beamng, I don't know why people think there isn't, you just have to set it up properly. Aero bits make a HUGE difference to how the cars behave. Also body parts LITERALLY FLEX under aero loads at high speeds, visually. You can literally drive a car at 300 km/h and you'll see the rear wing is flexed, even the trunk door flexes under the load transferred to it, you'll see the panel gaps between the hood and lights at thinner because the hood is being pressed down by air, etc. And at higher speeds, the cars literally fall apart. You think aero is not simulated? Turn on negative gravity, let the car "fall up" away from the ground for about 5 minutes to a few km height, then turn on gravity to the max and let it fall back down, it's literally gonna reach thousands of km/h and the car will literally be damaged due to air resistance, it's gonna fall apart, it's like when you crash into the water, except you're going through air. The aero is definitely very realistically simulated. Fun thing is, the game simulates layer of atmosphere realistically in terms of air thickness and temperatures. I know I'm an ultra nerd for doing this in the first place, but I let the cars float up with negative gravity for like 2 hours, when I came back, temperature was sub zero, well below it, and air resistance practically zero. You can tell that by the speed you'll achieve with -10 m/s gravity setting, usually there's a speed you'll stop close to the ground, but high above you keep accelerating due to less air resistance. You could turn on sun's gravity at that point when very high up, and the car would accelerate to like 300000 km/h in a few minutes, but as it would approach ground it would start slowing down as the atmosphere was introduced again, followed by an accurate burn and explosion as it hit the thick atmosphere at huge speeds. Even rocks do it. You know how you can spawn boulders to crash into? Well...try letting them fall up with negative gravity for an hour, and then turn sun's gravity, and see the magic. The rocks literally behave like meteors. The depth of this sim and what's in it so amazing, it goes way past just cars and crashing.

It's important to note that Beam isn't a racing sim, it's an _everything_ sim/sandbox in heavy, heavy alpha by a small Dev team. Heck, one of the biggest requested features are scratches and dirt, rather than sim racing features. There's only like, 3 actual race tracks in the vanilla game 😅 Tire wear and temperature is in the works if I recall (woo!), and aerodynamics could do with some improvement despite being very impressive for how it is actually implemented. I for one have always had my setups stick to the road like glue. Graphics I'd say are perfectly adequate, especially given the open source renderer used and dev size. Like seriously, those showroom shots in this very video look great! Besides, no sim comes close to Gran Turismo's art direction anyway. :P I'm pretty sure assists are currently pretty darn complex underneath and are accurate with production cars and again, racing specific assists wouldn't really be high priority currently. Things like multiplayer is hopelessly difficult to do properly - BeamMP is already very resource demanding despite sacrificing a great deal, car damage and status is not synced between computers at all for example. Since I don't think sim racing is a top priority, I think small things such as default setups being improved could be easy/small work with big payoff. Still, pretty bloody good going so far!

I think our experiences with the aerodynamics may be different, although I may have a reason as to why. -Even the slightest damage to aero parts such as a front splitter cause dramatic effect to driving, sometimes the damage doesn't even have to be visible -The tire pressure always seems to be too high on the default setups -one of the wings has adjustable angle, I've found that messing with that can have an enormous impact on the handling at high speed -also as you said in one of your previous videos, the vehicles might not be set up correctly, you saw how much faster the Bastion was with your tune of it, chances are a lot of the stock presets arent what they should be and are causing unpredictable handing. Just a few things to consider and possibly investigate

They are aiming to be the best car Simulation out there. Lets hope we can have the Option to do anything we want in the future

I disagree that Beam should move towards sim racing. Their goal was to be the ultimate soft body driving sandbox and I think turning more towards racing would narrow down what they can do

The big difference is that Beamng has FULLY dynamic physics where Forza, Asetto Corsa etc is semi dynamic(Much more arcade feel). I have personally driven the nurburgring multiple times, and the feel is much closer in Beamng, than any other driving simulator/racing simulator out there. It comes down to the feel of speed, strength of force feedback so you dont over/understeer accidentally and the car setup. I can easily do the same laptime with a similar car setup used on the actual track.

One of the things id love to see in beamng is some more like rally style missions with maybe like codriver commands integrated into them, even if they were just like a visual thing id still like that. Rally is so much about pushing hard without destroying the car and honestly, other rally games lack that feeling that one wrong move could be your run ruined and it kinda ruins the experience. Beamng captures the feeling perfectly and to have even one or two proper rally missions with a codriver would be amazing.

I'm imagining a GTA role play combined with Beam NG. Like an RPG around building, mantaining and tuning your car with several quests on a huge GTA like map. I would absolutely get addicted to such a mod.

i have been with beamng since i first heard about it after i got into rigs of rods many many years ago im very pleased to see how the game is progressing and the devs are putting their hearts and souls into the game. you love to see it

I just want them to fix triple screen support! 😂

I'd like to address a few of your points here. One - Aero. Given that Beam's aero simulation is good enough that an accurate simulation of a freaking B-25 Mitchell has existed for six years now, with no hacks needed to make it work, with the only real breaks to the aircraft happening whenever a tweak is made to the engine model, I'd say the aero is good enough. It is in fact good enough that engine power loss through altitude is mapped. Seriously, drive a naturally aspirated car on Pike's Peak and just feel the engine lose power the higher you go. The guy who made the map didn't have to patch that in. Given how poor Beam's default race setups are, I think it is more likely that poor suspension setup is what's causing the car to step out of line. Even then, a lot of cars don't seem to run nearly the same amount of wing as their real-life counterparts. It could also be that the fictional designs of each car also has a detrimental overall effect on the aerodynamic handling of the car in question. I think that this might be part of the problem, as part of the redesigns for a lot of cars also involve some rather significant alterations to the car's overall appearance. It could also be that the wings themselves are not strong enough to not flex under the stress of high-speed driving, and that's what is causing the issues. Two - Tyres At one point, BeamNG had indestructible motors that only died to excess heat from an empty radiator. At one point, BeamNG did not have brake temperature simulations, let alone brake fade. At one point, BeamNG did not have wheel configuration support. At one point, BeamNG DID NOT HAVE FORCE FEEDBACK. At this point, BeamNG has ALL of these things. I suspect the reason tyre temperatures are not implemented is because the developers would rather have perfected the tyre model BEFORE adding things like tyre heat and degradation. It would make more sense to make a highly accurate tyre model and then add degradation, as opposed to having to tweak the heat and degradation models every time you make a change to the core tyre model. I suspect wear and degradation is in the pipeline, just after they've worked the last of the bugs out in the tyre physics code.

funnily enough BeamNG, with the help of the modding community, is shaping up to be the dream game I was thinking about when I was in 5th grade 10 years ago, a heavily realistic driving game with realistic crashes and you can do anything, rock crawling, monster truck driving, drifting, it's all doable, even the ability to make my own maps is there, granted it's a complex process, but you can, it's no wonder why I've racked up over 2600 hours in this game since November 2016

regarding FOV- go to gameplay options set camera ''driver'' to desired fov and the shake effect is adjustable too , ABS is typical for roadcars but yeah race cars have different tc an abs and I aggree with the rest points although racing AI and some kind of Rally stages generator similar to the one from DIRT4 would be a dream, can't wait for part 2!

7:20 Personally, I think movement of the cockpit feels more realistic (i.e. immersive) than when the view is firmly planted to the interior like a locked off camera. Though, I guess in situations of quick side to side swerves like what was shown, I could see how the shifting around of the cockpit would be distracting. Would be nice if there were a scale so one could choose how much or how little the cockpit moves.

This are actually my top 3 wishes for BeamNG! 1- A Proper Weather System 2- Cars getting dirty and worn out 3- Improved particle effects such as dust, debris, smoke etc 🙏

This is a powerful simulator with a HUGE potential!!! Best physics and damage model I've ever seen.

6 years, and I've gotten my 15 quid from this game, I respect the developers so much for providing updates for free and not pay walling maps or cars behind dlc.

I designed an adaptive stability control system for BeamNG that goes beyond just intervening once a skid is detected. The aim of my system is to prevent the skid in the first place, by cutting power to transfer weight to the front when abrupt steering input is detected, and nudging individual brakes hundreds of times every second to keep the car as controllable as possible, in contrast to the stock ESC's stabs at the brakes once the vehicle has slid quite a bit. Through the FFB, you can feel this system dithering the brakes if it anticipates understeer or oversteer.

Ermin, i just wanna thank you for bringing this type of content for us. You are one of the few people that actually see how good BeamNG can be one day (don't get me wrong the game is already great and is one of my most played ones) But it think this factor of reaching a whole new audience will be very very nice to our community, just imagine full race weekends, new modders, and more sales so the devs have a bigger budget to work with. This game has a lot of potential and thankfully Ermin sees that. Nice video man!

knowing what the BeamNG devs have done in the past, I'm sure they'll end up fixing all of this in the next few years as it seems they do have a focus on making it more realistic, especially in handling

Awesome idea putting this together. I never honestly thought the devs of the game would still be putting their life and soul into the game years after I originally bought it, but there you go! There really is hope that it will be able to compete with the likes of Assetto Corsa (not Competizione though imo) some day! The thought of being able to race against others using bouldering vehicles or airplanes is so exciting

I hope they'll release BMG for consoles later on, as this mostly means it needs to be properly optimized (when I think of Wreckfest, it ran like a snail and got very fast with the console releases, yet, its damage model and physics is way more simplified) Most common CPUs can't really handle BMG with traffic atm, unless, you got some newer hardware.

I actually picked up this game due to your videos and am loving it, Nothing like a successful bus route in Italy O.o

It feels so good to have watched this game grow since it's inception in 2012 and seeing how far it went. I was into rigs of rods back then, being only 11 seeing the level of realism this game had blew me away even more than RoR. I'm 20 now and basically me and BeamNG grew up together lol

Ermin, I found your channel through Jimmy and the competition but I had never known you were also one of the few who were along with BeamNG.Drive so early on. I remember being so much younger and getting in on it when it was just an executable you'd buy into for alpha, along with it's infamous predecessor Rigs of Rods, just to crash cars. I'm glad you have been able to experience the incredible leaps of quality that the team behind BeamNG has been making, and it's quite literally the most loyal and promising amount of development I have seen from ANY team in the videogame industry, and being able to show that to your audience is awesome.

I love the GT soundtrack in the backround! but I love the progress BeamNG has been taking, and it absolutely needs to continue. A+ video!

I mostly agree with everything except the interior point. I think the vehicle interiors are extremely detailed and immersive, especially in TrackIR/VR, the only improvement I think they could make is center console illumination at night, such as radio and heater controls.

Lovely. I realize your channel and beamng developers seem to have at least some level communication going on and i love the ideas you mentioned in this video and i hope they take these into consideration

I definitely think BeamNG has a lot of potential. It’s physics system is so unique and cool, I wish they would make some kind of sim racing experience out of it. I think it would be awesome.

I would like to see the Internals of the Engine actually spinning with the RPMs, like Camshafts actually Turning, Timing Belts/Chains Move with the RPMs, Valves, etc going up and down in real time as the RPMs climb and descend; Crankshaft Turning, Pistons and Rods actually going up & down as RPM climbs and descends, like in Automation; I want to see fluids spilled, like Antifreeze, leaks, when the the Front end is crashed; already has the Overheating, Oil leaks when bottoming out the car and scrapping the Oil Pan, Engine can be starved of oil, etc, Radiator Fans actually spinning in real time, when the Engine Temperature rises and the Fan kicks in, Transmission Fluids, Transmission Internals actually spinning, Torque Converter Spinning,same thing with rear end Internals, like Ring & Pinion, Differential can be shattered, and Diff Internal Pieces can be seen on the ground, etc,

Regarding cockpit view: I come from the world of combat flight sim games, and kind of wonder why more sim drivers don't use TrackIR. Once you get used to it you can point your virtual "eyes" in almost any direction very intuitively, as well as move your viewpoint slightly around pillars and other obstacles to see outside the car or gauges.

I would love to buy some beamng GmbH stocks lol I think I'd go to the moon when beam will be up with the biggest sim racing games 🌚🌚

While I think a race sim with the detailed soft body work beamng has would be amazing, I would rather see the devs fully develope the game/game engine for what it was meant to be - soft body work on a video game about cars, before they venture into using it as a platform for racing. Let the modders keep doing that while the devs can keep focus on improving the existing mechanics.

I play this game a lot, incomplete and still amazing and every update is so cool

Regarding Aero: The X-Plane series of simulators has been the go-to "sand box" flight simulator for almost two decades now. Because of the physics engine it uses you don't need data for the whole plane, just the lift, drag, etc data for the specific airfoil type you are using for a flight surface. You then can enter the airfoil type, length, width, sweep angle etc for that flight surface and have it's aero calculated. Thus you can essentially make an entirely new plane design for X-Plane and the program will give you a reasonable approximation of its behavior in the real world under most flight conditions. Perhaps the same sort of thing, or even some sort of working relationship with the X-Plane devs, could quickly give BeamNG the *best* aero in the driving sim genre.

I think you do a really good job with these vids man. I tried a bit for a while but you are in the groove. Keep it going :)

The GT music you play in the background makes me feel comfy as hell

It's a little hard to find, but in the camera settings, there is a way to allow you to adjust your view and fov inside the cockpit, in addition to horizon lock in order to change how the camera moves to make it more realistic.

If this game was VR I would already have bought it.

Love your channel and glad you are back. I hope you can continue doing some work with overtake

2:25 Why did I feel like he was going to say "Consider getting stuck in the washing machine and your step relation will come to the rescue"

All they need is someone in the develop team who will know how to built proper setups, since it's harder to do in Beamng than in other sims because then handling in Beamng is not programmed, it's live simulated based on actual physical elements of the car. The way suspension geometry, parts, etc. move, flex, vibrate, etc. is what determines the handling, it's not like the physical parts are just visual and the handling is programmed separately. On top of that, they need to work a bit more on force feedback too.

One of my favorite mods for beamng is the fr17 mod. Its an F1 car mod and it has phenomenal aerodynamics. 180mph and you can take corners perfectly and it just stick. It even has an active rear wing and its amazing.

Aero is such a big one. I remember when they did the tyre model update and thinking that the game had finally fixed all the little problems, then you hit a bit of speed and you have no idea what’s happening at the back end.

wonderful video! btw, you can turn down/off the camera movement (aka inertia) in cockpit view, and you can permanently set FOV in cockpit view. both in the main settings menu in the camera tab. and we're slowly getting more and more internal thermal and damage simulation, hopefully tire wear and heating comes soon.

I'd love to see the damage model implemented into iRacing, perhaps then it might get the cowboys to reign their shit in and drive as it's meant to be, like it's a real car!! And real damage will end your race real fast!! The way the panels all bend and buckle is pretty sweet, and that would be good to incorporate into most of the mainstream sims. Cheering to have you back on the Tube too Ermin, keep it coming.

The aerodynamics are actually quite well simulated if you look at how the car bodies respond with wings and other aero-influencing body parts placed in various positions (including creating some lift where appropriate whe driving backwards, and lift created by car bodies if no wings are present. I bet there are some racing sims that don't dynamically simulate car BODY aero (beyond some oreset damage levels) like this does. Anyway, as the body and suspension seems to react fine' I thnk the issue experienced possibly lies in the tyre model not reacting to varying vertical load as much as it should.

Great video! Another thing that would be necessary is something similar to neck fx in ac where you can setup a drift cam and a racing cam

Almost 25,000 views in a couple of hours.. great job Ermin, you deserve that

BeamNG didnt apper from the bloom, the team worked previously on Rigs of Rods, a free soft body physics game. BeamNG is a evolution that took place, it wasnt an exercise.

After watching this video I gave Beamng a go, and it was mind blowing... It's not the game I played a year ago. FFB is very decent, graphic is impressively improved, and overall gameplay experience is way better than before. Thanks for the video, you made me a fan of a great game.

I tried offroad hill climbing by accident and fell in love to it. Would love to see your take on it simce who doesnt wanna see Ermin suffering? :)

Oh it already is. It really just needs to become more popular. Like it’s criminally underrated.

I think the ESC that beamng simulate is the one on road cars. I'd rather want them to add race type of the ESC

one thing that would be sick would be if in the future they make something like dakar possible in this game.

Loving the beamng content keep it going!

I’ve been a fan of this game ever since I seen it years ago when it was the original grid map and a handful of cars with default engine noises, I’m so happy to see how far it’s come

Regarding aero, one part that BeamNG also doesn't simulate to my knowledge is slipstream, which of course would be extremely important for competitive racing. Another thing is the simple ability to set up races against the AI. BeamNG's current scenario system has nearly no races by default, and even with mods is still very poor. Add to that the fact that the racing AI is very poor, and you have an area that has major room for improvement. The biggest hurdle for Multiplayer is performance. The cars are far more computationally expensive to simulate than in other sims and BeamMP can chug horribly for inexplicable reasons as well. BeamNG will need to be significantly more optimised, and/or PCs will have to become much more powerful in order to handle large grids of cars, and the netcode quality will have to be above the current BeamMP level too. Finally, I think that if Beam goes in the direction of a racing sim, then it'd be monumentally stupid of them to go in the direction of GT3. Not only is that market already saturated, but GT3 is also bloody terrible and boring, and its drivers in Simracing tend to be a pack of idiots. BeamNG has a great many niches it's inherently great at simulating already. Loose surface and offroad racing, vintage racing and anything high in contact. Really, the perfect type of racing for Beam is Rallycross.

What do the devs actually want for beamNG? I never read much news or devblogs but I was wondering if they ever concidered to shape beamNG into a "fast car"-sim or if they just stick to "openmap and some lovely crappy cars with missions" style of approach. And do they communicate with their community? Whatever direction this game will be heading I already enjoy just cruising some roads and try not to crash too badly.

Holy crap, thanks for notifying me that I've been playing this game for almost 10 years

I recognized the Gran Turismo 5 menu music called 'Passion' by Yubi Oike in the intro background. :D I believed it was my playlist that was playing with a very low volume. x) Nice video video then.

huh? GT5 Jazz mmm, man of culture I see

If the camera resets as you do to the car, that seems to suggest that you are using "relative" cam; while flexible, suffers from this effect. The game allows the "Driver" cam to adjust their FOV, camera position in the seat and even the camera shake relative to the car in its settings. In the Options menu, there is a "Camera" setting and in there, should be a category titled "Camera: driver". The "Driver" cam settings in BeamNG should address the issues stated about the camera, such as the movement in the interior (adjusted with the "Inertia strength" slider) and field of view (also a slider, but can also use Numpad 9/Numpad 3 to adjust). Field of view and Inertia strength is persistent across all vehicles, but seating positions are not, meaning that you may need to adjust the position of the camera on each car model to your desire (not between configurations of the same car model). This may be beneficial to those that would like to be very nuanced about how you view from inside the cockpit, and readjusting your FOV should hopefully be addressed with this.

Awesome video! I sure hope people would be able to make this into proper simulator but I also hope it won't ruin the beam ng-Ness of this game. Its truly one of a kind and it would be sad to lose itsself for promise of bigger profit

Currently left any sims for BeamNG and having a lot of fun driving door to door with my friend on Spa or Nord with our custom low power configs. The tire wear and slipstream is the real lack for better racing experiences. One time we managed to go side to side for like 10+ laps on Spa, our fuel went low, but the lack of tire wear bored us so we decided to take a break, jus t because we could't overtake properly on straights 😂

You can tune the cockpit camera movement in the options if you want! You can even disable it

For once i have to disagree with you. I would rather have the developers focus on their own thing and continue adding unique cars and maps. I really dont want this game to turn into another GT3 simulator because that would be boring. BeamNG does roadcars better than any other sim out there and racecars are just a really small part of the game. If you want to exclusively drive racecars then there is a plethora of other sims out there, you said that yourself. All of the things you proposed are nice, but it would be a shame if they took away the teams time that couldve been spent implementing things like better ai, weather system with rain or snow etc. BeamNG is my go to sim for just driving around, exploring maps, rallying, offroading, making fun configurations of the cars, even police chases are a lot of fun, ofcourse i like time attack, but its still maybe a 10th of what the game can offer. For multiplayer, BeamMP works fine for the time, ofcourse having it natively in the game would be nice.

When I first bought BeamNg I never saw this coming, props for the dedication to an idea

Great Video, I like the Ridge Racer Type 4 BG Music in the background :)

Is the goal for BeamNG to be a racing simulator? Have they actually come out and announced their intent to be a racing sim?

Bmg is going to be so great when they release the carrer mode there been on it for 3 years ,yes three years ,4th

1. Reading the comments a few people already have pointed out aero and electronics - just an interesting tidbit to aero stuff: While it's already ways better and definitely there when you fiddle with it, there actually was quite a big and detailed Indycar 1994/5 mod in the works that got abandoned for now cause BeamNG does strange things with aero when you get extreme with it. So there's definitely still room for improvement there. 2. Tire temperature is actually planned to be implemented at some point iirc. I'm pretty sure they mentioned it at some point. 3. Multiplayer as well - they said they are thinking about it, but at the time it was just really low priority with how much other stuff there is to improve. Overall I don't think we'll see too many full on race cars in BeamNG sadly, just doesn't seem to be the focus. I would love to have them licence their engine to other companies that *do* focus on either a specific series or racing in general. Especially with how big of a performance boost the game is getting with pretty much every update. I remember struggling to run 2 cars at the same time a few years ago - now I can confidently go up to 5 or 6 with my current setup. If they or another company working with their engine in the future could figure out a way to implement an iracing style system, where each PC calculates their own car and only relies the end result to everyone else, big grids in multiplayer could be quite spectacular

Great video!

Things I want to see to take BeamNG seriously. A decent tire model, more accurate aero, better modeled suspension and sane default setups. And special to beam since it's soft body simulation, some variation in material properties. Like more realistic yield strengths. Like carbon fiber shatters, sheet steel bends.

Ermin! You are sleeping on this game man. I love your content but I most be honest, I am 100% sure you have never given Beamng some time just sitting down with game settings. Actually, I bet that the vast majority of youtubers don't. Let me tell you one thing; the interior camera you're talking about, with the FOV being too small. I agree. But since many updates ago you can not only change your interior camera FOV, you can also zoom in, zoom out, AND you can also adjust your seating position in almost all the ways depending on how modern the car you're driving is. All of us thinks the interios FOV is ass, WHY does nobody know this exists? Why does noone sit down to look through what settings there are to play around with? I hope you see this comment and spend 30 seconds of your time in Settings > Camera. It will change your experience totally.

7:35 you can set your fov in settings. also i would love to see terrain deformation soon imagine sliding off the track and putting huge ruts in the dirt or losing control and rolling threw a ditch and the ditch gets all torn up and dirt flys everywhere

Been watching your channel for a while and your content is awesome, I don’t usually subscribe easily but you earned a subscriber today (not that I’m anyone important). You also cracked me up with “a wing bigger than your country’s national debt” 😂 that was hilarious

2nd and nice video as always

Beam is fun as is but the graphics keep me away. The terrible pop in from shadow and LODs and the horrendous aliasing. I have a 3080 and even maxed out I just can't sit through the eye pain that is BeamNG. The development team added triple screen support, so hopefully they keep going and finally fix the visuals.

Loved this episode. Great clip, thank you ")

Nice video and i am hyped to see these Updates in the Game

It's amazing how Beam NG can remain so stable. Everything deforms, feedback on each other, and is subjected to immense stress. The physics simulation must be running at insane tick rates, like in the order of a few milliseconds to remain so stable at such high speeds. I don't know how they do it, finite elements, some fluid dynamics, what tire deformation model they use, but it's bloody impressive. The driving model seems to be almost emergent, like being a side effect of the physics simulation. Making an actual usable, fun game out of it, that's a real challenge too.

The aerodynamics model for me is pretty damn good, in fact there are literally planes that people have added to the game that work amazingly, using literally JUST the Aerodynamics model to fly, roll, and pitch. It's seriously amazing, plus you can alter gravity and even play around with wind

Beamng's description isn't a racing sim, it's a physics sandbox. They aren't working to enter the sim market. Beam ng is its own genre. I agree, it'd be cool if it was a sim, but I don't expect them to implement sim features for a solid MINUTE. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Ermin, not sure what happened; hope all is well and you’re back for good reasons. I’m happy to see you making new content. Side note: i forgot how JACKED you are. No wonder you like fighting the wheel so much and cranking up the ffb lol Cheers!

I really hope they implement a better aerodynamic model. I mean, it’s great as is, simulating lift, drag, and thrust for individual vehicles. But it doesn’t simulate wake, turbulence or ground effect (wall push seen in stock car racing). Also, hypersonic (compressibility) aerodynamics would be cool for planes.

The future of simulation type games is going to be wild. I can’t wait.

The gold question is: can BeamNG deliver all these improvements and new processments and still deliver his very high level physics simulation in real time in a way it works on final users PC's? Or will it need to make a trade off between improvements and phisics so our pcs can make it at 60 fps in a 15 cars grid? I hope they can do it, specially about VR. Nice video.

I actually had a tire blowout that I can only attribute to overheating. I was pounding out laps in a gently damaged Covet. When I took a corner that I had taken several times before, and BANG. Orange lights turning on and my handling going out the window, and my car going into the wall.

one thing thats helped me with interior cam is that in option and then camera you can adjust the interior FOV and save it. The FOV is way to narrow by default.

That Gran Turismo sound track tho 💭 😍

I still can not believe how much the FFB has been improved over the last 2 updates... especially with help from fanatec wheel updates.

my guess for one point in the next video : gran turismo style menu music for proper car culture and sh*tbox car appreciation :P great video!

Love the Gran Turismo 5 soundtracks in the background

Great video and all very valid points and good suggestions. Regarding multiplayer, BeamNG developers face a slight issue, as implementing their own multiplayer in the game is a slap in the face to the BeamMP guys who have put a lot of work in their application, which is why I think multiplayer will be a long waiting feature to be implemented.

The one thing i would like to be changed/updated/upgraded/whatever is the feel of the tires grip on the edge, especially the rear tires and the whole rear end of the car. Its hard to drive on the edge, i constantly find myself either driving too safe or overdriving. I even made a mod that lets you increase the ffb strength of the drivers g-forces in BeamNG, which takes it more towards what im 'missing'.

BeamNG has tons of potential. While some cars have unrealistic/flimsy , I drove a few of the cars around some small tracks and the handling/feel is spot on.
