Beaming Drive

[FerdiZ28]

Afternoon all

Couldn't find a general topic on beamng, wondered how many fans of it there are on here? I'm an absolute addict, its my go-to game and can put hours in setting up crashes, chases or mad things.

Open to discussions on what you like to do/create, favourite mods, favourite maps, any shortcuts, what apps you use, any videos, anything really.

Its rare that I feel a game was made "for me" (the last being Driver San Francisco, albeit without the handling and physics of beamng), must be some other fans on here.

Agreed - I don't get it either. I like my driving games, and I like watching Beamng vids on youtube, for about ten minutes then I'm bored with it.

My understanding it's more a physics experiment than a game.

Started off as that. Might be worth a re-look, it is constantly improving and there are hundreds of missions/scenarios now, for example there is an off road one which to my estimation will take at least 5 hours to complete and is ridiculously challenging. SO many mods now to put almost photo-realistic cars in the game, with realistic damage and physics.

True, lack of a career mode or a "game"/"competition" element holds it back from the mainstream.

Addicted over here, think I’ve logged nearly 1000hrs messing round with it over the years.

What kind of things do you do? I switch between hours on the grid map crashing things into each other/firing cannonballs/chasing and then the scenarios.

Desperately want to complete the off road challenge with the marauder - can only get two checkpoints before a tyre goes or I break the driveshaft and lose 4wd.

Found slow motion the other day - crashing has taken on a whole new level now, as has recreating Bullitt on the west coast map with a black Coucal and a green Moonhawk.

Also have you ever managed to get the more realistic car mods to work (Merc e class etc), mods that aren’t downloaded from the main forum site?

Good to meet another addict.
