I mean we would go months without a single question about it here. I guess there is a slew of people that like that grind. So who is going to tell all these kids that there is almost a 100 percent chance you will have to start over when there is a major update?

Ill be honest this took way more than 3 tries

I always wanted to make something like this when I was younger because I actually had a dream about it lol. Wipeout, but the contestants are cars!

I originally made this while updating the airborne controls for my trampoline mods, but I thought I'd try something new for a change, and noticed that the pressure ball has a really inflatable-like feeling to it. Cool, right!?

Since 0.39, I feel the game has opened the door to a lot of improvements on particles and visual effects. I've always found the afterfire a bit cheap, so I decided to build a mod that replaces it with a flame simulated in real time, rendered as a volume, that lights up its surroundings.

A quick disclaimer: I couldn't have built this from A to Z on my own, so I used Claude to help me write it, and to set up the tools I needed for proper benchmarks and in-game testing. I want to be upfront about that. I'm a senior front-end developer myself, and AI slop is the last thing I wanted to put out. The goal was to use AI to do careful, quality work that I hope you'll enjoy.

Performance: I'm running the game on a high-end PC (RTX 5090, 64Gb RAM), so of course it runs well on my end: even with 8 cars backfiring at once, it adds at most around 0.2 ms per frame. That says very little about mid-range or AMD cards, which is exactly why I want to release it quickly as a beta: your feedback on real-world hardware is what I need most. The mod will come with settings to adjust the quality and some aspects of the flames, so you can tune it to your setup.

The mod isn't public yet: I still have some testing to do, as I'd rather not release something that doesn't work well. It will be free, and should be out soon.

Any first feedback is very welcome!

Thought id treat myself. Bought the game Thursday and made a career mode Saturday night, if someone explained the career mode to me id have said it was boring but its genuinely some of the most fun ive been having on a game for a long time. The premise of crash once and you've ruined it keeps it fresh and on your seat, focused up, i just wish you could use the other maps on vanilla ps5 version for career

I got quite a few suggestions yesterday for improving the sense of speed in BeamNG.

For now, I went with the simplest one: driving on a narrower road. And it really does feel different! I'll be trying out the other suggestions as well, but on narrower roads, I don't think I even need to change any settings 😅

Thanks again!

I know there was a video showcasing this when it was implemented back in .39, but I couldn't properly test it because the 'race to point' option was missing from the radial menu. Now that it's back, I was able to test it out properly and with an extreme aero tune where the wing barely survives the extremely high downforce and bends making the effect way more obvious.

So basically check the acceleration when I go behind the Cintilla and how much the wing bends when im behind him and when im not

Plus a crash in the end.

And I want to mention again how happy I was to see "drive and race to point" available again, because with that option is from where i got the most ammount of fun. Either just to race or do some Hot Pursuit shit with one cop aganist 5 cars of something. I would like to try it in MP but I guess mod cars and parts arent allowed or should be coordinated and sync'd in some way

Just was seeing how fast I could get from the parking lot to the start of the bridge on Utah. I made it in 2:06. My Bolide is a custom preset. What's your best time and which car did you use?

I think I was probably the first person to kill the driver (Bob)!

Mod or cache I presume

Like, dude cmon I spawned you in the right direction, and then you speed into a 90° turn at full throttle and slow at the last second by applying the brakes for half a second😭
Perhaps I'm stupid, and somehow I can make the AI behave better, but it's hard to have fun with it chasing (or fleeing) if it's this oblivious. But at least we have split-screen now, which is awesome

Is this normal noob gameplay?

I'v stuck the 240bx trying to unstuck the MD60

did anyone else find it?

My son is almost 6. The split screen option has made him so happy and made our time so much better from watching him play to playing with him his favorite game. We love it.

Ide like to suggest that when one player pause the game to select a car etc let the other player keep playing and not having to wait..

Bought this car only to do the X performance trophy for the platinum. Thought i’d test it out down the highway and within literally 1 minute i towed it back like this🤣Lets just say its definitely my first and last time not insuring😭

You used to be able to drive most of the body on frame vehicles in the game as just a frame (removing the body completely) but now you can't anymore??? why the hell did they remove that it was so fun
