Motion Example | BeamNG with DK2+ 

Thank-you. We always enjoyed BeamNG and team/community is just amazing. The motion really reflects the efforts that have been put into this title. Just incredible.

Thanks and a great observation. BeamNG really tests the limits of any motion and haptic system and hence why we presented it here as a demo. That being said, its also a great test of our algorithms or the software that calculates things in real-time (very very fast) to make the best interpretation of the software. These algorithms, like all systems, have trade-offs or limitations. Rolling a very softly sprung vehicle on very steep inclined slope is one of those trade offs. 🙃 So when the vehicle is doing something not typical, like rolling, it introduces a problem of passing the roll center point. Even in flight, a barrel roll is not as simple as it first appears, more accurately it should be called a helical roll. There is A LOT happening there. Similarly here, there is a lot of representation of various motion layers all competing for the stroke, and all of the sudden one motion layer, which is defined by degrees of roll goes waaay past its limit, lol, and then reappears on the other side. (full circle)... its very interesting stuff once you dig into it! But "small" displacement motion systems like the DK2+ here with its Dynamic Scaling are just doing the best they can with the 2" of travel they have. Our DK6 with 6" of travel would better represent this particular roll scenario as more of the layers have discreet control of a portion of the stroke. Problem solved right? Well kind of, now see your rig is moving more away from the screen causing a visual disconnect, potentially nausea. So you can't cheat there either! Engineering is just about finding the best compromises for specific applications. 😉 So again thanks for the catch.

You can actually learn some advance handling dynamics by having fun. Lots of cool missions in many of the maps and hitting F11 allows you to adjust the environment in real time. Lots of other goodies in the title.

Highly recommend it. There are several fun scenarios too, so its a nice break from the everyday. Rock crawling is brutal though! Watch out for bruised kidneys. 😛

It's a science and we treat it as such. There will always be limitations but knowing what to put forward and what gimmicks to ignore is key. We call this Motion Integrity with no canned effects.
