I believe BeamNG devs are doing their best to develop the game while keeping it performance friendly, otherwise they'd done all those things already. After PBR I can no longer play it, but it has to be done knowing that my laptop is in the mid-low range already and nobody would be buying such tech today. It's amazing to know how performance friendly it is knowing that it does much more than what you would expect for that performance requirement, yet multiple cars do cause a struggle.

I don't know how to describe it but playing BeamNG, either as a sim or a regular game just feels cozy

I actually think beamng could be a very interesting racing sim. I’m interested in seeing what the future holds for it

I think they already said there will be a CARPG aspect with the career, like buying used cars and parts. Really hyped!

BeamNG is the least amount of money I've spent on so much (PC) fun. What they've done with the base game over the years is amazing. Especially these last two years have been a massive treat.

Did you say co-driver and long rally stages? That's *exactly* what I've been working on! I have recently put out a new co-driver system (it's in the official beamng forums, in the scenarios category, can't post the link here apparently). My system makes pacenote writing really easy, and I've written up 4 long (10km to 14km) rally stages for Italy to demonstrate that. I'm currently working on gravel stages (jungle, small island, and more Italy), which I think I'm going to publish in a few days. I'm looking for people to help me out with this project, so drop me a line in the forums if you're interested in contributing.

Beamng could basically be a real life sim. Planes, boats and helicopters are already possible. Just imagine having acc, dirt rally, microsoft flight sim, dcs combat and war thunder in a single game. the potential is scary

For dynamic tracks I was surprised to hear such a cool detail about Dirt Rally 2.0. I've noticed that there's great tire marks in Dirt3 and Dirt4, but as I haven't played Dirt Rally I thought all of the tracks are just a visual. The first thing that comes to mind is Spintires which is the ultimate off-road simulator. My father had a lot of experience with driving a tractor for several years before I was born and when I showed him that game he was as amazed as me. The fine details you can notice as the caster does it's centering job, the tires trying to bite on worn tracks' slope, the techniques you use in order to get past different obstacles such as lakes and fallen logs, the grass slowly turning to dirt as you pass through certain roads. Even a finer detail you can notice is when your exhaust is in water for longer the water gets that oily reflection with the funky coloring effect. Truly something BeamNG should take advantage of!

I think beamng will have a lot to offer, it has to be one of the most interesting games to be following its progression over the last couple years

Have you tried a bus route in the desert? I ran a route for 40 minutes, failed a couple of times and at the end of the run I completed there was an unexpected drop that sheared the front windshield. When you finish such a run it's one of the greatest sights of accomplishment!

For a full length rally stage in this game you should check out the pikes peak mod. It comes with the tarmac version we know today but also a gravel version like it used to be. The gravel is my favorite rally stage by far of the mods and it's length makes it quite challenging in some cars.

I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume the BeamTeam will ever add laser-scanned tracks. The entire brand has been based off of making entirely unique locations and vehicles, and I wouldn't expect them to break the trend because of the games potential as a race sim. Best to leave that up to the modders willing to port maps.

BeamNG is a car simulation engine. Not a game. It just needs a game to be built using it and it will change EVERYTHING forever. I'm surprised that a larger racing sim company has not bought them yet!

I think rally is the best way for BeamNG to start competing effectively with other racing sims. No netcode or AI required. Procedurally generated tracks on the open world maps so no need to create dedicated tracks since rally is usually all about tackling new tracks everytime anyway. It suits the driving simulator nature of BeamNG since different surface types is part of it's attraction and hopefully they'll eventually get a dynamic weather system that has snow and ice too. It would perfectly compliment a career mode as well as the large variety of vehicles, all the way from buying an old banger and doing it up, to WRC and trophy trucks. Also Destruction Derby too. I mean come on, no explanation required right? But that's just something I want haha. But I'm glad their focus is on physics, as much as it requires a lot from the player to have fun with it (since you have to make your own fun essentially, which isn't something I play games for tbh, if I wanted that I'd play guitar or something lol), I'd rather they got the foundation right first. I want a career mode, I want race AI that's not just a scripted path, I want loads of game modes, I want extensive customisation. All of these things would suit BeamNG perfectly, but even so getting the driving right should be the priority first if you ask me. They nail that and the rest will fall into place I think especially with how easily moddable it is. It will replace every other sim and surpass them all easily if they get the driving nailed, which is entirely possible for them to be the best ever with the soft-body physics engine. I mean, just imagine traffic AI and doing head to head races like in NFSU2, that could be done. Every form of motorsport there is, that can be done. Even unique stuff like monster trucks or destruction derby as mentioned before. Other games would have to have a dedicated engine for that, but not Beam. Touge racing, drifting, off-road challenges, stunt driving, going mad with buses round a busy city. The possibilities for this game are off the chart man.

This is something I'm so glad to have a front seat to. BeamNG's progress has been so much fun to be a part of

For a comment on the CARPG part. There is a Beamng Multiplayer mod called CARP that has been working on this with money and car progression. However it's only delivery missions. Just today there was a really big update and wipe to improve progression which has made the server even better.

Once this game has Dynamic Track Surfaces, it will be the first game to perfectly simulate the Toeristenfarthen because cars will leak oil allover the Nurburgring.

BeamNG for the longest time has been my favorite game to drive because certain aspects of the Soft-body feel just simply cannot be emulated in an empirical (or as I call it "Physics Brick") model, and the cars really have a sense of physicality and movement that makes things feel super real, even compared to dedicated sim racing titles. An F1 car in Beam is a challenge, a real test of feel, handling, and precision, an F1 car in other sims just feels like an analogue or an approximation that honestly when comparing the two side-by-side feels arcadey!

I am so excited for the future of BeamNG.

it's amazing to think that this game isn't even on version 1.0 yet and it's already the best rally sim on the market and one of the best physics sims.

I think most important is optimization to keep performance friendly.

BeamNG is actually used sometimes as a training game or even as marketing tool for other companies. I remember reading that someone used it in driving school to show dangerous situations on roads. Long time ago there was a tyre company that used BeamNG in their offroad show or something.

I would like to see a better car selection screen, where each car was divided into their respective car brands, and then once there, in their respective models and/or years, this could be good for the future of BeamNG as it would make vehicles less confusing to find without the searching system, as they then add more vehicles into the game in future updates.

BeamNG already has a demo campaign that shows more or less how it would be in terms of missions. It's called "A Rocky Start" under the campaign menu.

Honestly from what I’ve seen the devs are very engaging and open to ideas, and it would not surprise me if they come across your videos and take them into consideration. (Beam devs if you do see this ily 👍)

The reason i love this game so much is because it has everything the heavy hitters in the industry don't have: obvious damage modeling, use of car-specific features, headlight/wiper/signal/engine power/drivetrain modes, etc... But it lacks everything that makes a sim like Forza or GT great: the racing community, realistic driving/handling models, and obvious graphical and visual fidelity. What makes me so excited though is that this game doesn't have to be just a sim racer. It can be a hilarious, fun sandbox with arcade-style modes and cops & robbers. Ya know, the need for speed or GTA type stuff. Absolutely unparalleled POTENTIAL. However, it's just potential. I am excited to see how it pans out, and how this game can revolutionize what it means to qualify within more than one genre.

I do alot af rallying in beam and would LOVE so be dynamic grounds. Just the idea of it being raining and the mud just soaked the car would be beautiful. Love the content keep it up.

Thank you for covering BeamNG so consistently.

A while ago I posted on reddit's r/simracing that: "Beam was the best sim racing title" I pretty much got booed off stage for the most part. But the opposition's argument was mainly: No off track limits, No licensed tracks/cars, No multiplayer race leagues, no multiplayer car classes. no pit stops, or need for pit strategy , no tire ware or tire changes, no reliable leader boards, no quality lap racing, no qualifying sessions. ... These were the main complaints that made me eat humble pie.

I would love if automation would work more together with BeamNG to make a driving sim where you can make your own dream car. you already can make your own car in automation and import it onto BeamNG but the handling is always very unrealistic and compared to the BeamNG cars their very badly made (which is understandable ofcourse) but i would love if we could make our own cars that have the same depth as the BeamNG cars have!

Thumbs up for mentioning Street Rod!! That game was dope for a young car junkie back then.

Wow, btw can u also put the mods in the desc, the thumbnail looks wonderfull, or is it another game? I also have automobilista 2, rfactor 2, assetto, acc, carx, and nfs heat, nfs ugc 2, nfs rivals 😊

One thing missing from this list is official leaderboards, which could go under multiplayer granted. It'd be nice if we didn't need to use the BeamNG speedrun leaderboards for everything, which leaves many of the less popular time trial boards entirely unpopulated

oh my god... the video quality is unparalleled! I haven't seen any sim racing content on this level ever! you've definitely earned a subscription, I wish you many more!

5:50 you can actually add rain into beamNG, but it doesn't affect driving

If it really went that far this would be the only game I would ever play again. A game like this with the beauty of Gran Turismo, the physics and crash mechanics of beamng, dynamic weather, and a level of racing details like Assetto Corsa would be incredible. The biggest problem is probably that car manufacturers don't want their cars to appear structurally weak and "unsafe". I hope they will find a deal with brands about this. I don't know how this comment will age but I hope for the best! Nice work on the video man. 👌

Street Rod and Dope Wars... YES! My mid-30s self loves the nostalgia. Spent so much time on both of these.

Your passion for BeamNG is infectious! Great couple of vids.

I feel that after paying for the game 7 years ago I have been nothing but amazed at the continued progress. I would not mind at all if it took a beamng 2.0 to get some of these features, especially multiplayer, (even just locally hosted), I would happily pay again if it meant the devs would add some of these features

Also this might be a bit off topic and I know it's been addressed in the past BUT...video suggestion. Why ACC should get the Nordschleife. Focusing on the new online ranking system, and why the N24 would be a great addition to the sim, with the 1.8 update and all that. Might be pointless but I feel it would complete ACC as a GT3/GT4 sim.

Anytime I hear the song that you used for the rain section always gets me in my feels. High Stakes is still my #1 NFS game of all time!

I love the NFS HIGH STAKES theme in minute 5:40! nice video

I love these types of videos!! excellent content recently man

there is a modded scenario (Historic Rally Italia) which includes co-driver and a on screen display of the instruction. Simple and efficient

The moment Callista's drums came in I was jammin! Glad you know that legendary track!

Yooo as a hardcore Assetto Corsa player and drift content creator for years I can say that the only reason I don't play BeamNG is because it doesn't have VR support. After playing few years only in VR, I can't go back on playing on single screen anymore. No enjoyment for me at all lol...

Loved the fact that you used Gran Turismo 5 music as the bg music. Loved that game.

this is probably my new favourite sim focused channel

I love the way u use all the gran turismo 5 music. Huge nostalgia rn

Hey after the new updates my mods like ks spa and car mods arent working how did you make your mods work.

I hope Beamng will maintain beeing a full on freeroam Car simulator with of course Simracing tracks and features!

Hey great selection of music at the beginnin of the video from Gran Turismo! hah

I'm not really interested in simracing, I've never played any serious racing simulators, but when I first time tried BeamNG, I realized that it provides some very realistic driving. Of course, it's sometimes quite funny to crash something, but I mostly just drive. I don't have a steering wheel, so I can't do any serious racing or rallying or drifting but it was obvious for me almost after the first few hours playing what I could do with a wheel. So, I found some confirmation for my thoughts. Looking forward to buy a wheel sometime:)

the progression mechanic is already in the work and "available" even though it sounds weird, you have to spam click the career mode button in the main menu and a message will appear that explains the state of the mode, it has missions progression points, money and all, but everything is free for now

Huge props for doing this video + using the old school NFS show room music. 😉

5:44 That NFS IV music takes me back 👌 I still prefer the electronic mix music from NFS III, but IV certainly had some gems too.

I just discovered your channel. Love the content, keep it up

I love the way you implemented old Need For Speed menu themes into the video. Brings nostalgia big time

Lol I see you changed your name to a certain meal 🤣 legendary, just legendary!

you're a Gigachad for using Art Of Rally music

laser scanned real-world areas, like a section of London or Nevada, would be cool!

We need proper tire modelling, I don't think tire heat/wear are implemented yet and that's #1 for simracing. Been playing BeamNG since RigsOfRods, absolute best thing to come out of the gaming world.

LOL, I love the Mass Effect soundtrack in the back!

I love the fact that you can play a game like Automation and build a car from the ground up and drive it in Beamng, mind blowing.

As I said in your last video... A real time cannonball run from New York to LA, no pressing pause as you would need two people to drive unless you can stay awake for 30 some hours behind a wheel. Pick your car, any car from a super car all the way down to a 1986 mail truck with 300,000 miles on it. Make it work on real gas milage and if you don't stop at gas stations, you run out of gas and the sim is over.

Love to see all of this added !!!

I wonder if the Career mode that's still under development is a racing career. Would be cool!

No way bro that's what i've been trying to explain to my friends and now i see this vid wtfff good job mate!

Oh my god. I remember that street rod game! That’s crazy, I haven’t thought about that in forever.

where can i find the subaru in the end of the intro looked ike a 22b or a gc8

I'll legit take a few days off work when Beamng gets VR support. They are still working on transitioning to the Vulkan graphics API, it's currently opt-in. They've said before on the forums it's a prerequisite for VR.

Basically agree with every point, but you completely got my heart in the last one Long live to rally!

I would really love if beamng added all this things. I've been playing beamng a lot since some time now and I love it. All this changes wold make this game not only suitable for sandbox, but also for racing and rallying. If we have to wait another 4 years for this, we doing it !!

For me, VR Support is the most important thing im waiting for. I have a rig but no screen in front of it, because every title I play supports VR already. Also going back to 2d is not really an option to me. It feels so... flat ✌️😬👍

really loved part 1 so i am just gonna like part 2 instantly because part 1 was that good.

Great video as always, but iRacing part 2?

One of the small things that I think would add a lot of realism to beam is plant/particle interactions with cars. In the current game, say when you drive through tall grass or a shrub the plant clips through the car. If the grass got flattened or the shrub smushed, it would add so much realism, even if they didn't stay deformed when the vehicle passed by. Every time I'm driving through tall grass and it clips through the hood, or when a small softwood plant that should be flattened somehow stops a D-Series dead in its tracks, it breaks the immersion. Now, I have no idea how this would work, but it would be cool.

i love you ermin, using callista from nfs 4 and mass effect as background music

nice video, viperconce- no wait!

I seriously hope beamng not only has clean motor racing but the burnout style, paint-trading, reckless, ramming focused game play. Would suit beamngs destruction perfectly.

Tfw i heard El Dorado while you were talking about triple screen/ vr support 😳👌

im so glad im not the only one who remembers the street rod series. those were a fucking blast, used to play them all the time with my dad

Love the Grand tourismo music in the background

I don’t even have a racing wheel I just watch because love your videos lol

The sheer amount of customisation is unrivaled, I've made race trucks and drag builds off the same chassis, also definatley give the pikes peak lidar edition a try it's amazing

For rally stages, check out "Historic Rally Italia" scenario pack. It has an integrated codriver even. My favorite scenario for BeamNG.

I hope it does, I be having blast going around nordschleife!

5:45 I like your bgm taste bro it’s from nfs high stakes, love this video ❤️

"SHARRP RIGHT SHARRP RIGHT... Listen to me Samir!"

On the topic of VR. TrackIR is the middle ground for VR and triple or a even single large screen. Since I got TrackIR playing games that support it has made a huge difference fire me and In not big on VR because it really sucks when in the summer.

one thing ive wanted to see in rally games is custom co-drivers and BeamNG seems like the perfect place for it with its mod support, THE COMMUNITY COULD TRANSLATE THE RALLY EXPERIENCE INTO EVERY LANGUAGE

5:47 Callista from the Need for Speed IV High Stakes soundtrack. 7:07 I played the heck out of Street Rod back in the day. Although I didn't play Street Rod in school, I did play a lot of Vette in school.

Ermin HamSandwich sounds as great as Ermin Hamidovic. Please keep this!

Good vids, I agree with some that beam isnt a racing SIM but some of the road and tire effects could add a lot of depth to driving in an already very deep experience. A career with gradual car upgrading would also be sick

Whenever I bought the game, It wasn't really even a game yet. I love that it has been consistently getting better and better and I have been along for the ride.

the background music at the rain chapter brings so many memories

Well said m8! Keep fighting for that "proper rally game", we have never had one and it is about time and what a better base for it than this? Add VR and I will never need another sim!!!

The Rain part - background music is the music from Mass Effect when you come to Afterlife club ;)

That ACE COMBAT 2 soundtrack on 8:10 hits in the feels

6:52 and to add to that, beamng even has values listed for cars!
