BeamNG is my waifu, never to be let down.

Imagine how advanced BeamNG will be in its full release - IF it will ever have a full release lol

If you are into racing, AC has the upper hand or just get more serious and dive into ACC/iRacing/Raceroom. AC's tagline makes it clear that it's not intended to be an open-world all-purpose sim. The community did all of this. BeamNG is what I call as a true car driving simulator.

You could talk about more on cluch, transimision, engine parts. How the engine moves on stock engine mounts and you can change to solid mounts. Oil simulator in the engine. You can show how the power from engine to transimision to driveshaft, diff, axle and how they all spin. And sound of fans when is car hot. How drivebelts and turbo spins...

I thought the clutch thing was gonna be a mild "it doesn't feel quite right" gripe. But Assetto basically doesn't simulate a clutch. You can't stall the car, you can't even drag the clutch, according to your vid. For a driving simulator that is abysmal lol. Big respect for not just going "tHe DaMaGe", as amazing as that is in itself, and bringing up broader points.

Seriously I cannot wait for whenever this tire update is coming. We'll finally have the definitive, most realistic simulation of a tire that has ever been done in real time.

Its crazy how people put asseto as a better simulation, where assetto is a racing game while BeamNG isn't focused on race and more on car physics, details, realistic preformance, vehicle customization, and much much more.

Beamng is literally like a full vehicle simulation. Nothing can really compete with it.

As somebody who has played assetto Corsa and still plays beamng I agree. But there’s one more thing: You can do way more things in beamng.

BeamNG just needs proper aerodynamic simulation so you can draft off others and a good tyre heat/wear system (someone has modded that in but private racing mod for now). If those two things are added I'm sure more hardcore sim racers would be setting up competitive multiplayer races especially at how nicely you can feel the car through the FBB using even an entry level wheel. Edit: I found a mod called "Luuks Tyre Thermals and Wear Mod 1.1" for tyre wear and heat that is available now for everyone but I haven't tested it myself.

2:00 I expected everything BUT a Fiat Palio here. But i like it, it's nice to see cars that i see on the streets in the game

i completely agree the only thing that assetto corsa does better is the force feedback (as long as you're on a road) and vr support

Btw, screaming tires: There’s a setting called tire offset in the Assetto menus that decides when the tire screeching sound cuts in. It works like this: 0 offset-A tire that exists screams.😂 100-A tire at peak grip is beggining to whining. 200-A tire screeching is locked, skidding or sliding.

i thought like half of these like the tire screeching and the clutch was just me lol great vid

beamng is also alot worse with mods i have over 4k mods in asseto and everthing works and the performance is the same while beamng is preety much unplayable with over 400 mods

2:00 I know this pain all too well. I changed bunch of settings and then my game wouldn't start so I had to find what was wrong and disable/enable it

Assetto Corsa is a racing sim more than a normal driving sim, normal driving in Assetto is dog but racing in BeamNG is kinda dog too. I love both games but the comparison were quite unfair imo

Beamng is like my first born son and youngest daughter. Assetto is the middle child

as someone who plays beamng a religious amount, i completely agree

There is at least one more thing that NO RACING GAME HAVE (no GTA 5 as that don't even count even tho they have race related categories if you gonna tell me about that) which is the "Mechanical Empathy" which is basically what Beam has (like whenever you damage a part that it can affect depending on that part such as the engine or like another example is that if you use a Volkswagen Beetle and lapping the track many times,you basically don't even need to cool down whilst the Autobello Piconilla "which is not even the beetle that it is based out of but it is A FIAT BUT SOMEHOW LOOKS LIKE SO" if drive it as same amount at the other racing game,you will realise quickly that you have to either slow down or completely stop and turn off the engine just to simply cool down the engine before you can even finish the rest of the lap depending how much lap it is to)

Hey SourDisc! I absolutely love your videos. Thank you for putting in the effort to make videos. No beamng content is quite like yours! Thank you :)

The thing that keeps me playing both Beam and Assetto is the latter’s FFB. I’ve made posts asking the Beam devs to give more options to tune FFB. For instance some form of exaggeration to understeer and weight transfer would be good options. Also if there could be a little vibration before brake lockup. These are things that you have body feel for in the real world.

Finally someone who admires how ubelievable BeamNG is as a simulator. Good job buddy! =)

if you are really into cars and the automotive stuff and not just racing or basic rallying, beamNG is always the best option. The level of detail is insane and almost every update adds something new to improve the game. Looking forward to 0.30!

thabks for taking the time for making this. moat people don't really understand how advanced of a sim beamng is. and in this video you didnt even talk about the phyiscs, i think its the biggest part of it as every part of the car is simulated and modeled while in all other sims cars are just boxes on wheels

Also chassis flex, weight transfer, engine, brakes, oil simulation, and suspension modeling is by far the best than any other sim, plus BeamNG aims for simulating everything in terms of different motorsports (racing, off-road, rock crawling, rally, drag racing, drifting, street racing etc), than AC, although AC has the better tire model and graphics. Beam also simulates every type of vehicle from 3-wheelers, classic cars, semis/buses, sports, super car, electric cars, trucks, off-roaders, buggies, etc and from different time periods. Beam also has the best feeling of driving low-end shitboxes :)

bro i love racisting

Lmaoooo thanks for doing this my bro, he has no idea how good beamng is. He definitely needs to play it more...😂👏👏

LOL i only watch beamng from your channel, love your sense of humor

2:01 BRO U GOT A GOLD BRAZILIAN NORMAL CAR FIAT PALIO LOOOOL😂😂😂😂😂

It's actually crazy how I learned how to drive manual because of beamng, yeah, I don't have a manual car, but I've gotten quite a lot of the basics down on how to really drive a manual vehicle and how a manual vehicle would work in real life scenarios. It amazes me at how well the clutch engagement system really is and how well it was thought through no matter the car.

ngl i love them both the same amount, assetto is just beautiful and has amazing sounds, and beam is just... beam :)

You can't deny that Assetto Corsa is not only much more fun but also more realistic for racing. BeamNG is simply a car simulator, nothing more.

Hi Disc of Sourness I really like your vids they are just... chill, kinda, but I wanted to ask what was that CRZ coupe-like covet mod and the highway that you drove on? (not WCUSA)

Actually i like beamng but i hate those pixelated graphics, slow af UI and slow reflections... Thats it. Other than that it is a pretty good game.

I love assetto corsa and beamng as a whole

1:00 Passat.👍

Underrated ahh channel

I gotta say, I use assetto corsa as my main sim but all you said is on point. It's a game that has leaks everywere if you start looking for more than two minutes xD but somehow it still keeps itself afloat mainly because it's a great mod platform i guess

The two games fill diferent niches.

2:33 knulle1 doing its service i see

yippy sourdisc upload

what map did you use for this video? it looks good for roadtrips

ah yeah mate, the clutch thing isn't about the clutch at all, its how the game simulates throttle inputs: basically, in beamng the difference between 10% and 100% throttle at low RPM is very small, and increases at higher RPM (much like an actual engine with a throttle body, diesels are a different thing and I'm not too sure for those), assetto on the other hand just has a static throttle curve

the things that you mentioned are interesting, but i was wondering about the physics of the games. what's best about beamNG's physics? i mean without the damage system. only in terms of perfectly working cars

AC is just ... Outdated at this point. Let's being real here, lots of simcade nowadays are already ahead of AC. The only thing that AC have is the fan base support and people account that a lot.

and lets not forget crash physics

lets see what AC2 has to offer

For me atleast, Asseto is a better racing sim. I have better feel when the car is on the limit, when its under or over it, its just more predictable, especially with F1 cars and dedicated race cars. Beam is a better driving sim imo, clutch feel is better, obviously the damage model and just generally feels better than AC when driving regular road cars.

2:01 BRASILIAN CAR MENTIONED

For driving beamng, absolutely For racing assetto corsa. That's ALL you need to know folks, other comparisons are useless. Yes both can do those 2 things but clearly each one is more specialized in its own category. But i appreciate the comparisons to help people understand which one is for them or even why they should get both What i don't understand are the people that say one is objectively better than the other...

Beam isn’t a proper sim. Yet. It has no tyre model and no proper aerodynamic properties. The aerodynamic one is an important note because it’s just simply object based drag and lift like Kerbal Space Program.

Can't we just love both games equally? I have 300 hours on each

Big one for me is sound. Assettos interior sounds are awful even for the time and it borderline ruins the immersion for me.

what the map your playing on at 3:33 Great vid by the way

i want to know which of these 2 games are more suitable for sim racing (aka has the most realistic driving experience no mods)

If beamng made it possible to run with better graphics while having more fps. There would be way more players on beamng.

Beamng be my cup of Tea I don’t drink tea

Now I want to see things assetto corsa better than beamng

beam didn't get beated in jimmys tier list, they are the same level

race sim vs vehicle sim. not the same….

When asetto corsa 2 comes out it will be the best sim ever

What's the CRX style Covet? Is it a mod?

Hey man I love ur videos

i thought its going to be another oh beamng has crash physics blabla bla, but those points u mentioned are actually better than ac. tho the clutch is "better" in ac in one way, u can shift depending on your rpm without/barely pressing pressing the clutch pedal. while in beamng if u shift too fast or the pedal isnt pressed to 101% the gear wont go in or instantly will damage your gearbox. beamng hates shifting too fast.

the thing is both have cons and pros. for beamng you need a pc, shitty graphics and aerodynamic physics and has only simple weather. assetto corsa is less realistic in many ways tho like the clutch and tires like in this video mentioned but also rallying is really bad and some other stuff. those who like cars and have a pc should use both

Assetto Corsa is like a Toyota Supra mk4 of racing games Good when you modify but overpriced

originally i bought asseto expecting a simulation experience but its mostly a configuration nightmare and the tire physics are mediocre compared to beamng. beam also runs better but doesn't look as good as asseto does. if there are any graphic mods for beamng i completely skipped them. you also don't need any mod manager for beamng, just drop your zip files on the mods folder and you're good to go, don't even need to close the game.

on begining of the video you was driving e46? where i can find it please :)

1. True 2. Different games for different purposes, both games do it quite well for its purpose 3. Again, different games, different stuff. Assetto Corsa's engine has a different purpose than BeamNG's, so you can't compare them. 4. It's a 9 year old game, what do you expect? Especially if they have ACC released and AC2 in the works 5. True, but again, it's a different game BTW: If someone will make a precise calculation car sim, I'll pay him with my lung and kidney. Thanks in advance.

I kinda see the point of Your video, but I have to disagree with some of Your points. 1. Yeah, the clutch is pretty bad. Quick solution? Use car with automatic gearbox then You won't have to use clutch (inb4 argument that automatic transmission is better in BeamNG) 2. First of all, AC loads much faster than BeamNG so if You have to change something then it doesn't take much more time than BeamNG. Secondly, AC has a lot of plugins that let you change a lot of stuff on fly, so in my eyes this argument is invalid. 3. In Assetto Corsa you can put any engine you want to your car, it just takes a bit more work, so here I'd say it's 50:50. Also on the sidenote, it was clever that You showed setup screen of basic road car ;) 4. Exactly, AC is kept alive by users for the past 5 years or so. Who knows how the game would look like if it was updated up to this day (just take a look how iRacing developed through past few years). So is this point really valid? And usually the servers require the newest version of plugins which basically everybody have or should have. Also, what does it matter for sandbox/freeroam aspect of the game? Again, 50:50. 5. Default luncher for AC sucks major balls, that's true. But using Content Manager is not really that difficult and it has a lot of very useful features. There are tutorials for CM because of how many options you have there. BeamNG at start can be very overwhelming as well (which can make it not so accesible as You say), but it's probably easier for You because You spent much more time in BeamNG (nothing wrong with that) The video gives the impression that BeamNG is the only sim that matters and the rest is shit which is really unfair. Don't get me wrong, I really like BeamNG. I think it's really cool driving sim but I think it's just not there yet in terms of fast driving, both in free roam as well as on race track. Both games have their advantages and disadvantages and shitting on one of for no particular reason is not really cool.

On the 5 points you gave, only one is about "driving" the other ones are criterias that have no reason to be... you could have talked about the better car damages on beamng, better suspension on taller vehicles. These two games aren't meant to be the same thing, one is a racing simulator, focusing on the realism of driving racing cars on car tracks... not tracks with jumps and loopings at every turn. The other is a car simulator, simulating car damages, mechanics wear and so on. Beam ng's car control aren't as good as assetto corsa in terms of tire grip. And beamng isn't an intuitive game AT ALL the settings menu is hell, the number of controls you have to map to fully use the cars is nut and the wheel support is catastrophic. Both games have their own pros and cons, comparing them isn't interesting. Same as comparing GTA and cyberpunk would make no sense, even if they both are open worlds

heyy wagwan

asseto is also much better in driving physics and force feedback and has vr which are the things that are needed to be in a driving sim

Only minus that BeamNG have is that you cant play it on console 😢

I mean, I clarly love BeamNG, and I just bought AC yesterday, and my thoughts are that AC is really heavy in contrast with Beam, and in real life I guess that it is really in between those. Also, for mods, I still prefer Beam. Tho, in some cases, Ac is more likely to be real by the fact that BeamNG got a few helps like oversteering helps. (I'm with a controller, I know...) What do you think ?

what is the name of the mod for the tachometer at 1:12 ?

Point 6. Rallying

good video

yeah thats nice and all but beamng doesnt even have a proper tire model

beamng is good but i like the driving in asetto corsa. it feels so much more satisfying imo

But is it okay if I buy it for racing and not for ultra realistic car simulation? I have both btw

I love both games but I stopped playing Beamng because it is not VR compatible and as I have no monitor screen and only play on VR. I find myself playing assetto corsa more and no Beamng because the Vorpex and other third party VR are no good. So i keep hoping that Beamng will have VR compatible one day and I am waiting for that day. For now its Assetto Corsa for me.

you said in the intro how its a comparison of RACING sims and tbh beamng as of right know is a terrible RACING sim, especially vanilla but even with mods its lacking (beamng is still in development tho so it might be better in uhh 10 years). Funny thing is that assetto is a pretty bad racing sim too - better (but still bad) AI, lack of simple rules like proper DRS zones, only lap races by default, no running starts, no safety car etc etc BUT it is still a way better racing sim than beamng Now when it comes to fitting those two games into a DRIVING sim category, beamng in many ways destroys assetto but as of right now assetto still has an upperhand in tire simulation which i hope beamng can one day change

Assetto corsa - 5 sec loading from acc launcher, while beamng have lagging menu buttons, 1 minute map load with fastest cpu and ssd on the planet. Assetto corsa - uses all graphic card resoures, 300+fps, while beam ng use only 50-60% of my 3080 Ti, and gives me 70-120fps. Assetto corsa - best car and driving physics, awesome force feedback, while beamng have good clutch realisation, awesome soft body phisics, while having sim-arcade like driving physics.

i agree but i still more like assetto even if beam is more fun for me

cool vid!

E V E R Y T H I N G

FINALLY some one understands

I definitely prefer beamng over ASSetto corsa

BeamNG Drive is just *BETTER* off to play BeamNG now

Whats that map in the background?

I love Assetto Corsa way more than BeamNG, but I completely agree.

What is the highway map mod

BeamNG has made up car brands which kills the racing part of it for me. But BeamNG definetly has the better offroad physics

I think you missed a lot of features which have came up recently, which isn't included in this video, which will fix a lot of inconveniences, but hey, what can I expect, vjust like how I don't play Beamng as much, but understand it's versatility as much as you, I can't blame you when it's not as transparent. Assetto Corsa does racing better, Beamng is overall.

well reflections aint a point 😂

Beam good, assetto good. 👍

2:24 Isnt that possible in AC with mods? I’m just not 100% sure. 3:30 Also, in terms of compatibility AC is on console (pure trash compared to Beam and AC on pc.) but yeah we want Beam on console.

Beamng ai suck tho, question how do I get the Japanese map people cut up on in beamng
