Actually, beamng drive is so realistic it perfectly represents what would happen if we leave the observable universe

The tire explosion is actually intended behavior. It would also happen in real life on ultra high speed with stock tires, though probably reauires bigger speed than in game. You can watch some videos of this happening on RC cars, their tires are smaller so they need a lower speed to achieve this effect, and they have thinner and weaker rubber which is easier to break.

Pro tip: go deep enough underwater and you'll see the tire collapsing due to the outside pressure. This is realistic and intended even if it doesn't quite look right when it happens. The performance saving side of the physics model has its quirks.

This is not a bug in the game's physics engine, the engine simulates reality so well that we are seeing what would happen if we got that far from our planet

I'd expect the simulation to crumble, but the car kept going in the farlands. It looks like the physics solver either uses double precision or some normalizing trickery to keep the solver locally stable. In all of this, the most impressive thing is the physics engine's resilience to all kinds of bad conditions, distance from origin, high speed and large forces, oscillation.

The farlands glitching could be fixed by implementing floating origin like in Kerbal Space Program, probably difficult to do though.

This is literally the best BeamNG video I've ever seen, in 10 years. Amazing work!

I've seen a couple other comments saying the same thing, but felt I had to point out, actually it looks as though just the rendering engine is using single precision units, and suffers from loss of precision at those insane distances. While the physics engine seemingly uses double precision. The simple indicator of this is that despite the camera's movements being extremely erratic, the vehicle is almost entirely unaffected, continuing to drive perfectly. Super impressive work by the devs, and in my opinion really interesting. To be able to completely separate the camera's behaviour from that of the vehicle would likely mean the Dev's would have needed to implement almost everything twice. Yes the camera's motion is not physics based, so all physical calculations would be only needed in double precision. But the underlying vector classes and other matrix/quaternion calculations would have been required both for implementation in single and double precision.

4:52 this has to be the best and simplest explanation of floating point precision problem I've ever seen. It just clicks and is simple and not overcomplicated like lots of other explanations. Kudos.

No joke I learned more here than I did in my first year of college

its funny how the extreme j-beam deformations are somewhat hidden because the visual model doesnt deform as much, making the visual model seem a lot more realistic compared to the model that actually has the physics applied to it

beamng: has far lands minecraft: first time, kiddo?

I don’t know why but the thought of slowly seeing the effects of reaching the limits of a video game is eerie and unnerving

you have a really good thing starting up here please continue pushing boundaries on games

This is still more terrifying in Roblox because of how distorted and uncanny it gets.

Every open world game will have some sort of “far lands” because a 64 bit number can only be so big, and beyond that the game just breaks down

BeamNG vid hitting my recommended feed, and boy did I not expect a video like this. Absolutely shattered any expectations I had, and your quality:view count is at such an under-deserved level. I wish nothing but the best, and thanks for the several minutes of what good KZfaq is about!

Really nice video. Great explanations. Despite watching various videos about the Minecraft farlands, I don't think anyone's explained to me why floating point numbers cause the issues they do at high values. Your explanation makes a lot of things suddenly make more sense.

This is a wonderfully detailed, narrated and edited video. Your narration and camera work is absolutely splendid and I hope you take great pride in the finished product. An absolute treat to watch, thank you.

The editing and camera pathing on the tire stretching part was amazing.

Man, that was one hell of a video! Keep the quality content going

my guy described centripetal force and inertia so perfectly! props to you man

Your editing it super good! I loved how you showed the physics model especially, and the exploding tire section, awesome stuff!!

Excellent video. I've been playing BeamNG Drive since they released their first tech demo in like 2013 or so, and yet I'm always learning new things about it

Great video! I'm really keen on Beam so this video was such a pleasure to watch haha. Great work man :D

Love this. I know we would all love to see real tire wear in the game. For instance wheel spinning a tyre till it pops. I think you are the man who could explain what would be required to do that. And weather it would be possible or not. This simulator is limitless.

This is such a good video man!! As someone who owns the game but now doesn’t have a powerful enough computer to run it anymore, I love watching beamng videos

How do you only have 600 subs? Rather watch this then many other BeamNG creators that have way more subs. Definitely subbing

Great work! Keep on making these types of videos.

The video quality is stunning and the content very interesting, especially considering your a rather small youtuber. Well deserved sub + bell + like!

this video may actually be one of the best i have ever seen on the technical side of beamng

Fantastic video and explanation. Keep up the good work!

Really good video. Always wanted to understand the engine & why those spikes come about. Would love to get more BeamNG breakdown content

I never really knew about the farlands phenomena, thanks for sharing

Ive never seen so much information is a 10 minute format.

your going places only 500 subs and a video like this crazy bruh

3:07 damn son this is trippy, I think that one day a good meme editor will make good use of it

damn, that is amazing cinematography for beam, and for anything, really!

why does this video have only 600 views?! seriously this is the best beamng video i seen in a long while.

wow, you are really talented with your work, AMAZING, you deserve a sub

I used to see and explore a lot about the game engine beam model. Your explanation is insanely accurate and on par with what I've observed. As time went by they fixed the insane jbeam stretching especially the tires and the stretching beyond limits which I noticed by trying to deform some chassis. Literally the best deformation model to ever exist, I have no idea how it's so good, so simple on the outside and yet so performant. The only biggest problems are: - Sometimes the nodes disappear if you crash them too hard like on soft roofs and that may be a half assed implementation of tearing or it's completely unintentional. I've seen less of that with updates, but it's there. Even though it seems like tearing. the model nodes don't yet come apart, would love it if they did even though it's incredibly difficult to do that as you have to split the jbeam while maintaining a stable visual model AND good performance. - The collision beams skip, you may've seen that the car sometimes goes inside stuff. This is because the node circles are what holds the collision and not the actual beam. If beams had collisions the performance would've been much worse similarly to the physics solver in blender. If you haven't used soft body blender physics I highly recommend you try that and experiment with vertices (which is the collision in the beamng model) and edges (which is the beamng beams), you can also try faces which you'd know what a face is if you know computer mesh geometry and it really tanks the performance.

Holy shit, this video is amazing! Keep this quality up and you will hit it big.

Incredible video, love seeing how stuffs done and why. Bravo

This answered so many questions I've had for YEARS

wow! great job, now i dont have to do this myself. keep going!

Fuckin incredible video man! Really hope your channel blows up from this stellar content

your channel is so underrated dude, hope you get more subs soon.

9:54 almost looks like some abstract art piece, neat.

Neat! I love stuff about the far lands in different games.

i never knew i wanted this, but now i want more

Great explanation. I hope that the algorithm will pick up the video

keep making more, i love it :D

Well someone going to be famous

You should use in-game slow mo to show high speed crashes better

Loved this video! Seemed legit! Lots of info.

Good stuff, thanks!

Really good video

Underrated vid and youtuber

This was an amazing video!!!!

Explains why Star Citizen has a 64bit coordinates system, to avoid that, BeamNG does not need this, but yeah, it's cool to see the limits

Funnily enough, Roblox has the farlands also, with similar effects. The most common way to experience this glitch on Roblox is either being flung insanely high or falling for a long time with no kill-floor.

what a well made video!

Incredible video! How did you enable the jbeam view?

damn nice videos thanks

I remember playing Rigs Of Rods before BeamNG came out and you could crash a vehicle at a slow speed and see the mesh spike into infinity, the game wouldn't crash but it'd lag.

Why beamng is my number 1 favorite game if all time literally Edit: Also my dream game

bros so smart he bouta transform into bill nye the science guy 💀

this was an issue for assetto corsa for a LONG time. after about 8km from the origin it got pretty noticeable. it was widely accepted that it was just impossible to fix, short of rebuilding the whole game from scratch in a 64-bit engine. i dont remember the exact details of the mod, but from what i remember it does the calculation twice and that basically eliminates the issue. that being said, ive driven across the "roane county" map in beam and didnt really notice any shaking. and its like 18 miles across

Roblox farlands are just like the beaming farlands, only difference is you can go further, and make builds and your character unrecognizable polygons. There's express games for that purpose, and sometimes your character will be permanently broken until you reset

bro narrated this like he's documenting an irl phenomenon

This is exactly the same for Rigs of Rods.

great educational video and incredible quality, although, i'd recommend breathing in from your nose, your mic shouldn't pick up your breathing that way

And then that moment you capture the textures exponentially growing in 1000x slo-mo before the code resets the vehicle

It looks like spikes are what happens when panels and tires would have just straight up torn, but the game engine does not model tearing, so instead we just get ungodly spikes instead.

Awesome!!!!! I did that in 0.13 and it ended and I fallen into the ground (superflat)

Ah yes, the deep space Kraken knows many names.

you can pretty much say that this is what entering 4th dimension looks like

beamng needs to do what KSP had to do and then add a chunk loading system and its world wouldn't have to be so limited

is the map during the "farlands" bit the default infinite flat grid map? or a modded version?

I once went so far in the farlands, the speedometer read (not a number)

THAT CAMERA WORK !?!?

This guy is good 👍

A good demonstration of why picking this engine for Star Citizen was a terrible decision.

The tire explosion is definitely on purpose because normal tires simply cant withstand that much speed.

bigger modded maps on assetto corsa would have the same effect just not as aggressive

The music reminds me of another really good game, Portal. Could it be that the word "Orgin" point is supposed to say "Origin" point?

just wondering, those floating points could just be made bigger, right?

If these artifacts are related to floating point precision and resulting errors, I wonder if running on specialized hardware can extend the limits presented here. Perhaps these limits are simply hard coded into the engine, nullifying hardware capability.

my eyes are being blessed

whats the unit of distance? meters i assume? so at 10km it starts to get a little shaky?

The beamng creepypasta

Farlands in a lot of games are interesting to explore, San Andreas or Souce Engine games have similar behaviour

Every game has farlands. The unity engine is a good example.

I PLAYED THIS Game call train simulator and my train went i guess into under the map for first minute its normal after 30 minutes the game going crazy so ig in lots of games it has a far lands thing

That’s so similar to minecraft the way it glitches like that

curious if playing in slow-motion at 1/100th speed and crashing at 400mph, will result in more accurate damage, then playing in Realtime and hitting wall at 400mph

Similar thing happens with Subnautica. The further away from the center, the worse it gets. Granted to you need to be really far away, but still

That also happened in subnautica

There are already people exploring farlands in different games before Minecraft

what was the music used in the first minute of the video? its not in the description below.
