hi

[vast viper]

bruh how did this happen

[tardy pulsar]

Did you know the speed of sound can actually be a thing?

[viscid quartz]

did you also know beam sorta simulates the atmosphere

engines will lock up when brought up to a very high altitude

and air resistance above a certain hight just is not existent

[knotty tusk]

im suprised i didnt slam into a rock and fall off a cliff

[tardy pulsar]

0-10000 in less than a second

[vast viper]

which one do u think will crash first

[knotty tusk]

did i cook

[mossy karma]

by crash i assume you mean crash your game right

[mossy karma]

why is it 240p

[glad fiber]

This reminds me of those kids slop videos with all the rainbows and shit

[floral hamlet]

No

[knotty tusk]

its 1080p

[pseudo yew]

anyone got a ford excursion mod i can have

[mossy karma]

youch

❓

[robust grail]

Someone stole a hirochi wl-40.

[hushed owl]

I wonder
why not add an 80s american sedan

[left quiver]

[tribal lagoon]

I really want to see a Volvo inspired car in the game. Like an xc90 of whatever generation it doesn't really matter. A 2020's d-series or something like a pickup would also be hella cool

[glad fiber]

"Devs can you just like. Add this thing"

[modest panther]

the LeGran:

[modest panther]

wendover is a personal luxury car

[hybrid flare]

Could we possibly I dunno get a bigger map? I enjoy them but it’d be nice to have a bigger map for cruising and stuff

[modest panther]

if you like cruising just get like that one autobahn map

[blissful anvil]

suggesting stuff here is almost hopeless

[left quiver]

yeah i was gonna send a legran thing but turns out this server doesnt have that...for some reason

[modest panther]

it's like 30km long

[modest panther]

eh they use the same v6 engine so

[left quiver]

i suggest keeping your chin up 😄

[modest panther]

I wonder, is the wendover supposed to be a chrysler lebaron?

[hybrid flare]

I got the autobahn mod but lowkey looking a map bigger than Italy

[left quiver]

i dunno i see more legran in it than wendover personally

[modest panther]

according to the beamng wiki the wendover is basically a scaled up oldsmobile toronado

[left quiver]

although the flip down headlights are similar with the facelift wendover

[viscid quartz]

if theres a new truck I feel like it should be from bruckell since theres already a engine platform. would be cool if it was not american. think modern toyota hilux.

[modest panther]

which makes sense tbh since the legran is based on a cutlass ciera

[modest panther]

volvo 240 in beamng when

[modest panther]

ngl I imagine a bruckell truck would probably look a lot like a ram 1500

but maybe with the front end of a toyota tundra

[viscid quartz]

I see it

[modest panther]

I also imagine it'd come in only a crew cab

a stellantis/chrysler-based bruckell truck complements the dodge charger bastion well

[modest panther]

tbh we could use another crossover (the tograc is a problem child)

[viscid quartz]

please dont let it only come in a crew cab

[pure sparrow]

real question what would it actually add to the game to have a 2020 D-series like mechanically it would be the same as a 2000, no?

[modest panther]

an ibishu branded toyota rav4 like this would be a pretty good addition especially considering ibishu has no modern cars

excluding the jellybeanima

[pure sparrow]

Tograc be like

[modest panther]

tograc is ugly

[blissful anvil]

I would eat rocks if the first modern ibishu was... that

[modest panther]

actually nah jk jk make the first modern ibishu a supra

second generation bx-series

[viscid quartz]

im not against it but it would certainly not be my favorite vehicle

[blissful anvil]

that makes zero sense lol

[modest panther]

literally just the soliad lansdale

epitome of "mid"

[blissful anvil]

absolutely held back by the am*rican automatic transmission disease

[viscid quartz]

almost as "mid" as the MD series.

[pure sparrow]

it would be nice to have a first gen RAV4 in Beam tho

[blissful anvil]

eh, pretty uninteresting to me

[lucid owl]

Honda Ridgeline

[viscid quartz]

could be cool if the devs added lore branded npc cars in form of extra traffic cars

[pure sparrow]

soo like a pickup, but less interesting

[blissful anvil]

and then people would complain they're only simplified cars

[lucid owl]

kodiak replacement

[pure sparrow]

yeah someone would mod it to be drivable in a day

[blissful anvil]

simplified to normal car is way more than just making them drivable

[viscid quartz]

wouldnt take as long and would fill the streets more. then the modding scene will fill in the gaps and make a fairly decent car mod for the crowd that really likes a certain npc car

[blissful anvil]

simplified traffic cars are already drivable if you are somewhat tech savvy

[pure sparrow]

I mean the detail would be pretty bad yeah

[viscid quartz]

it would need a remodel to bring it up to normal ng car standards

honesty the first time I went in vr I went in orbit cam and looked on the underside of the car when driving

its really cool to see a truck suspention work very close

[pure sparrow]

I see people asking all the time for a modern D-series, but is there any value it would add besides kids having their dad's truck in the game orrr

[viscid quartz]

you are very lucky to have VR work. I havent been able to run vr in 3-4 updates I think

[left quiver]

bringing gavril into the modern age and its the most iconic beamng vehicle

[viscid quartz]

not really. if beam had more electronic goodness it would kinda make sense

[left quiver]

isnt the most modern gavril like...the early 2000s H series?

same goes for ibishu which is why people are askin

[floral hamlet]

@quiet fossil is a scammer btw, make sure to dm him nice words

[pure sparrow]

I agree with this, like if there's no hybrid and EV it doesn't really make sense

[left quiver]

yeah i saw em send a friend request but i just decline friend requests from people i havent even spoken a single word to

you mean like GTA 5 level radio or gavril vertex level radio?

[floral hamlet]

I told him to cut off his jingle bells

[left quiver]

what would even be on BeamFM?

well yeah but like...

what about sponsors?

[hollow solstice]

though his music is lowk boring

[left quiver]

random oilex commercial in the middle of your tunes

[viscid quartz]

its just gonna be clair de lune

[left quiver]

i think they're quite nice for what they are, granted i listen to em for drawing most of the time but they're still very solid underrated tunes

[viscid quartz]

and maybe some default gabester music, maybe a cool addition to add your own audio

[pure sparrow]

Yeah event the people I do talk to I don't accept requests right away

[left quiver]

cant wait for BeamFM to drop and inbetween every 3 songs i gotta sit through an ad for the latest grip all tires

[lucid owl]

the newest pickup truck in the game is 22 years old

[pure sparrow]

ok but pickups have (mechanically) barely changed in 20 years

[lucid owl]

Cybertruck

[pure sparrow]

If they add a Cybertruck to BeamNG I'm jumping out a window

[left quiver]

you mean like a vehicle trigger handbrake?

[pure sparrow]

it's cybertruck hate, there's a difference

[lucid owl]

but after the gr*k update idk

[viscid quartz]

cybertruck would be cool to add just for the demolishion aspect of it.

[left quiver]

but at the same time...the FPU wydra has a better design than the cybertruck

[floral hamlet]

Didnt bring anything new mechanically

[pure sparrow]

yeah I'm not a fan of Tesla overall, but I don't hate the Model Y or Model 3 the way I despise the Cybertruck

[viscid quartz]

average fridge activities

[pure sparrow]

like the Model 3 is decent if you don't care about interiors or build quality

[left quiver]

i dont really like teslas but not because of their design just moreso i just dont like electrics like that

because from what ive seen tesla has some good looking cars....the cybertruck is NOT one of them

[pure sparrow]

that's arguably a worse reason because there are many wayy better EVs

If you actually care about build quality and interiors

[viscid quartz]

at this current age electric vehicles suck

[night saddle]

I hate the interiors of teslas

[left quiver]

hey now, i think the Esbr is great....but me personally gimme any of the gas variants with comparable horsepower anyday

[pure sparrow]

I wouldn't be so dismissive of all EVs, but this is getting besides the point at hand which is Tesla

[left quiver]

me personally i like actual physical gauges more than screen o rama but i can look past it if its not overbearing

[night saddle]

I don’t like that it’s so soulless and bare there’s basically nothing besides the big screen in the middle that you can’t do anything without

[pure sparrow]

the eGolf was such a nice design and I'd love to see a version of that with a new EV powertrain

[left quiver]

speaking of, if im gonna advocate for a new electric car, might as well save that for whenever a british car drops(modern mini cooper would go hand in hand)

[viscid quartz]

electric cars are only really useful in cities, where you dont go very far and sitting in traffic doesnt mean you are constantly burning gas. having larger EV's need a larger battery to get it to a acceptable range.

[left quiver]

and yeah i know the piccolina exists and i would never cheat on my beloved piccolina, but at the same time its from the 50s

[pure sparrow]

this is also why plug-in hybrids are so good

[left quiver]

and italian...which means a modern mini cooper is different enough

[pure sparrow]

RIP F150 lightning, apparently they're discontinuing it

[left quiver]

i dont look at much electrics but if i were to go off of my beamng hunches i would say its electric purely because the rims are trying too hard

[pure sparrow]

why the heck is there a massive grill on an EV? what are you doing with all that air broski

[viscid quartz]

plug in hybrids is the best of both worlds. when in city, electric mode is the best, and then when it comes to long range travel ICE is used

[night saddle]

not really much besides it would be bigger could tow more and faster although if we did get one I’d hope for a similar engine to the coyote 5.0L that they have in the f150s to be available

[viscid quartz]

to cool the thousands of pound of batteries on the underside

[pure sparrow]

hmm but most EVs usually only need small vents for that

[viscid quartz]

they do need quite a bit of cooling and even if its not on it will need ventilation. keep in mind how massive that vehicle is

[night saddle]

Nothing wrong with adding it for style imo

[pure sparrow]

in terms of engine and suspension setup it would be the modernized, yes, but not drastically different

[pure sparrow]

you probably lose range tho (not like it matters for a Rolls Royce anyways)

[night saddle]

yeah I mean it’s a pickup after all if it ain’t broke don’t fix it

[pure sparrow]

so real

[night saddle]

but letting the air flow in instead of just hitting the front of the car would lead to less air resistance right?

[pure sparrow]

I need a Prius in Beam fr fr

[night saddle]

I don’t know where it would go once it’s in but

[pure sparrow]

not necessarily, most EV designs avoid big grills to reduce the air turbulence/resistance

[night saddle]

has to be done right to look good though

Taking away the grill

[pure sparrow]

like I think the new Model 3 looks pretty good with no radiator grill

[night saddle]

The Tesla outside I can stand but the inside just isn’t it

[pure sparrow]

100%

the inside lacks physical buttons and everything is on a screen, no thanks

I never played Forza Horizon (1)

3 and 4 both lacked any real story tho

omg AR12 gaming I used to watch Nick

then he started catering his content more and more to children unfortunately

[blissful anvil]

[pure sparrow]

you can't just post a real picture of a wheel and expect us to not notice /S

[blissful anvil]

bet

absolute cinema

[pure sparrow]

ts makes me want proper tire tracks in beam

like your car never gets dirty and never leaves tire tracks

[night saddle]

MAN

[floral hamlet]

Why do these look like sunburst rs wheels

I've just noticed

[blissful anvil]

because they're rebadged hirochi wheels lol

[floral hamlet]

1:1?

No difference whatsoever?

[blissful anvil]

looks like they refreshed these on sunburst remaster

[left quiver]

honestly the quarry just made me want dirt n stuff more

cus well...its a buncha dirt...n stuff

and they just added super big machines thatd get covered in dirt n stuff

[sturdy moss]

I could eat these

[gray quiver]

For those who remember, the 200BX Demon is a nod to Devil Z from Wangan Midnight comics.

I tried it in older Beam and that car is so cursed it understeers and crash in that West Coast highway.

[empty wadi]

Such a funny vehicle. I wish it stayed

[gray quiver]

The description should have been rewritten though.

A hellish turbocharged beast with oversized slicks. Unalived several drivers in the process.

Yeah, the car so cursed I replicated it into Devil Z designs lol.

[blissful anvil]

unalived

[gray quiver]

Because German censors.

[blissful anvil]

killed

[gray quiver]

If weren't for German censors, it would be "Taken away several lives of drivers in the process it made the 200BX a cursed car.

[outer carbon]

could someone help with mods

[modest panther]

ngl I think I should try rebuilding it

except with a 5.5l v8 and twin turbos bc why not

[knotty tusk]

\

[indigo kite]

Forget 0.40 lets go back to 0.3

[floral hamlet]

You could sort of balance out the v8 if you use the 4.5

4.5 is a much much better swap for the bx

[modest panther]

tru

[floral hamlet]

But ig if the point of the build is to kill itself and the driver you'd be better off with a 5.5

[late quarry]

gng i may have built the peak car in career mode

gavril vertex that does a 0.94 quarter mile, 720 hp, race tires, funded entirely by escaping the cops and selling dashcam footage

[quaint smelt]

0.94 1/4 Mile?

[open valve]

hmmm i dont think thats supposed to be there

[quaint smelt]

Derby Windshield?

[quaint smelt]

Thoughts on the new engine for the wild boar?

[open valve]

not enough

[quaint smelt]

Swapped the 4.0L Barra for a 5.8 Super Thrust V8

[open valve]

not enough

[quaint smelt]

Fym not enough? It’s by far my most powerful build with nearly triple the Horsepower of Big Red

[open valve]

twincharge it

[quaint smelt]

NO

[open valve]

yes

[quaint smelt]

Its good enough as it is… i wanted it to be a winch challenge truck, not a drag car

[open valve]

twincharge

[quaint smelt]

No

[open valve]

yuh

[quaint smelt]

Ill back it off to 600 horsepower..

[open valve]

1200 min

[quaint smelt]

No

[open valve]

but the beadlocked rt51's look mint

[quaint smelt]

My range for touring trucks is about 200-500hp

[open valve]

mate thats no touring truck

thats closer to a trophie truck

[quaint smelt]

Then why tf are you asking for 1200hp…

And 90% of my trucks are below 400 horsepower

[open valve]

min 1200

[quaint smelt]

Big Red, Smokey B, The Dirty 30 and The Mighty GU are all under 350hp

[open valve]

weak

[quaint smelt]

Still capable

[late quarry]

9.94 mb typo

[late quarry]

its not maxed yet

[quaint smelt]

I was like holy… thats faster than the Methmobile HyperDrive

[late quarry]

i stillhavent done any weight reduction

other than taking parts off

[quaint smelt]

How much HP?

[open valve]

u dont wanna know

[quaint smelt]

Sigh… 2000?

[open valve]

..

[quaint smelt]

2500?

[open valve]

nah jk

[late quarry]

weight reduction makes repairs expensive asf

[open valve]

350 sing turbo d

[quaint smelt]

See!? Reasonable!

[late quarry]

i need repairs often cuz i only make money off running from the cops

[open valve]

yeah and its slow asf

il build it up later im working on suspension

[quaint smelt]

So? Not like you’re going 100kph on the Tele Track mate

Low range… 40kph at most

[open valve]

have you heard of hill climbing

[quaint smelt]

That doesnt look like a hill climb vehicle and neither is the Boar

[open valve]

not yet

[quaint smelt]

So no im not giving it 1200hp

I was hoping to give the Wild Boar 500-750hp…

I gave it 840…

You dont need a shit ton of Hp for it to be capable

[late quarry]

need low end torque

what engine is in it

[quaint smelt]

The Mighty GU has 303hp and it’s one of my best builds

[quaint smelt]

5.8L Super Thrust V8

[quaint smelt]

Mighty GU has a 4.2L Diesel I6

[open valve]

current (800hp)

[late quarry]

gotta give it a big block brodie

[quaint smelt]

All of these builds in this Garage are under 400hp

[late quarry]

what map is that

[open valve]

nvm maybe 5k hp is too much

[late quarry]

what map brodie i want in on this tuning

[open valve]

i havent moved my laptop in 3 weeks the dust circles under the vents bouta be crazy

[quaint smelt]

In map selection turn on “Show Auxiliary Content” 3 maps will show

Showroom
Glow City
Garage

Garage is the one im using

In other words the map is vanilla

[viral rose]

i sure do wish theres a mod that expands the hopper

[tropic cipher]

it's also in dire need of a remaster

[mortal oracle]

Is the old island map removed?

[quaint smelt]

I think so but people have made mods of Dry Rock Island

[quaint smelt]

There are some but it def needs a remaster

[viral rose]

not as good as the d series mods

[meager trellis]

Yo beamng fam. Needing some help locating a mod. It was a mod that enabled visible tiremarks on dirt surfaces. Can't seem to find it. Anyone know the one I'm referring to? Mod description says something like, "Ever wonder why your tires don't leave tracks in the dirt? Now they do."

Nevermind. Found it.

[quaint smelt]

Oh yeah..

I mean look at size of the bloody thing compared to Big Red

[night saddle]

career mode policing

served me well for a lot of chases i think i might let it go

[mossy karma]

grand marshal ahh paintjob

[night saddle]

yeah some mod added it

[empty flower]

Is career fun?

[mossy karma]

for most people probably yeah

[empty flower]

[wary sparrow]

I keep forgetting that the bx is that heavy

[barren karma]

yea the bx is huge

[quaint smelt]

No rear bumper is a bit questionable

how are the views up there

[empty flower]

oh dang

[prime cove]

[empty flower]

And how do i start delivery job

[prime cove]

huh?

[barren karma]

by adding the storage crates in your car

more crates = more room = more money

[empty flower]

So i need a truck for that

[blissful anvil]

i used to only run zt55s on the sunburst

but that was 2019, im a changed man

[empty flower]

Ohh i gottta install it to my car

[prime cove]

would lowering help top speed? or do you just find it ugly

[wary sparrow]

slug

[blissful anvil]

nah it's just ugly, ride height doesn't really affect downforce it at all

[wary sparrow]

wheels are too big yes

[blissful anvil]

they look like 18s

those strips at the top of the windshield never manage to look good

[barren karma]

god forbid someone not find something visually appealing when asked to rate it

gotta be really nice and say its a 10/10

[blissful anvil]

bonus point for not being on vskfs or whatever

[wary sparrow]

minus one point for mismatching body panels I think

[prime cove]

cant have SHIT in this server without someone hating 🥹✌️

[quaint smelt]

Are Folks still valid in 2026?

[barren karma]

they match

[blissful anvil]

zt55s look horrible, next question

[barren karma]

only if theyre made by john wheel

[blissful anvil]

et73s are... acceptable

[quaint smelt]

Could i get a answer from Someone who isnt God Tier at making rims

[barren karma]

with the retexture they arent bad

[wary sparrow]

they do?

[blissful anvil]

bx kits are just like that

[barren karma]

^

bx vanilla is fucking garbage

[blissful anvil]

incredibly unfortunate icl, wasted chance to make a good looking kit

[barren karma]

you need atleast 3-4 mods for it

[wary sparrow]

yeah all tuned BXs have misaligned panels

[prime cove]

still gonna do the thing

even if its different bumper

[barren karma]

and 90% of them are for the diana/alexia/jcat alexia

cant find a popup kit to save your life, better off running the bx 180sx front end swap

[wary sparrow]

long live stockalike cars

OEM+ or whatever

[quaint smelt]

I prefer ET73s over ZTs

[prime cove]

@blissful anvil the zt55 and et73 look similar enough, literally how is one bad and another good

you like that mf from whiplash

[barren karma]

lwk i think ur bx is just ugly

[wary sparrow]

same

[barren karma]

whole car

[urban spruce]

whats the most mileage you guys have put on one car in a beamng session?]

[prime cove]

#icanthearthehatersihit237imhappy

[covert echo]

Eh, OEM+ is awesome, but sometimes seeing a build that’s a little different is also nice to see

[quaint smelt]

Still… could be worse

[covert echo]

Methmobiles don’t count

[urban spruce]

for me its 43.5 miles in one session

[blissful anvil]

zt55 textures are awful, et73 textures while still bad are at least passable

[wary sparrow]

yeah, tuned cars that look like they haven't been molested by a grinder go hard sometimes

[barren karma]

305

[blissful anvil]

but vanilla game is chronically cooked when it comes to wheels anyways

[urban spruce]

damn. what car?

[barren karma]

scintilla gt3

[urban spruce]

racing im assuming?

[barren karma]

spa endurance race

[urban spruce]

is that the map?

[barren karma]

didnt even finish it either

[barren karma]

spa francorchamps

[wary sparrow]

I am awful at racing

[urban spruce]

ive been doing laps on the Nurburgring for a bit

[earnest nest]

guys will my specs run beamng

[prime cove]

he mad n for what

[urban spruce]

did you get a ss of the mileage?

[strange sierra]

theres probably something that tells me somewhere, but what difference does running the game on vulkan do compared to normal

[wary sparrow]

its hard to say so, especially considering that we can't just magically guess them if you don't tell us

[barren karma]

im on phone so you wont be able to get it for a while

[urban spruce]

oh alr, heres mine

this was an ai car i was racing against

[rocky pecan]

My sleeper/dragster on American Road highway

[urban spruce]

this was in my car

[covert echo]

Well, what are your specs?

[earnest nest]

I got an Intel Celeron, 2 gigs ddr3, and integrated graphics

[urban spruce]

"yes officer its stock, no mods, just used for work"

[covert echo]

Welp that’s definitely not running beam

[prime cove]

"sleeper" and he has rainbow tire smoke, a visible wheelie bar, a drag wing, and visible drag tires

[urban spruce]

i ran beamng on integrated graphics but not that bad

[blissful anvil]

this is a joke right

[wary sparrow]

I hope you have a lot of hope and some e-crack for that computer

[covert echo]

Eh depends what your other specs were

[rocky pecan]

Sup @wary sparrow

[urban spruce]

it was like 8gb of ddr4, intel core i5 with intel uhd 620 inegrated

[covert echo]

I see

[earnest nest]

my cpu can be changed on this laptop so I could add a very new Intel cpu

[wary sparrow]

oh my fucking god this dumbass is back

[rocky pecan]

Look at me now when I used to play on some crappy HP laptop with integrated graphics

[prime cove]

he so mad

[earnest nest]

what was the laptop

[urban spruce]

time to cook some food

[blissful anvil]

[wary sparrow]

look at me still not giving a shit

[wary sparrow]

You need a new laptop or pc

[prime cove]

[blissful anvil]

M socket cpus died like 10 years ago, you aren't putting a new intel cpu on that

[rocky pecan]

Ryzen 5 5500U, Radeon intergrated graohics

[wary sparrow]

[blissful anvil]

no modern intel cpu is compatible with ddr3 ram either

[prime cove]

[blissful anvil]

omfg it's that guy

[rocky pecan]

[prime cove]

I FUCKING KNEW THAT BANNER WAS FAMILIAR

[earnest nest]

can my hp stream not run beam

[barren karma]

no

[blissful anvil]

it doesn't even meet minimum windows requirements

[wary sparrow]

outran by my 2011 thinkpad

[earnest nest]

I need more ram, anyone got 8 gigs of laptop ddr3

[wary sparrow]

no shit!1!!1!!!1!1!1!1!1!1!!!1!1

[blissful anvil]

[blissful anvil]

[earnest nest]

[prime cove]

"can my pc run beam"

[blissful anvil]

I didn't stutter, please read

[rocky pecan]

What up?

[earnest nest]

I got win10 tho

[prime cove]

[covert echo]

That statement would actually be true for the fast turbo diesel truck builds in SE Asia lol

[rocky pecan]

Why?

[wary sparrow]

[blissful anvil]

not meeting minimum requirements doesn't mean you're physically locked away from it, it means your experience will be incredibly subpar

[earnest nest]

this came factory with win10

[blissful anvil]

so, don't feed your delusions any further and get an actual good pc

[wary sparrow]

With 2GB of ddr3 I think he is actually fully locked away from it

[blissful anvil]

not even 64gb of ram will save that thing

[rocky pecan]

It is good

[earnest nest]

[wary sparrow]

russian sleeo experiment but it's actually real and happening in my bedroom

[wary sparrow]

I won't get sleepy until at least 10am I think. And that is not a good time to sleep

I went to sleep at 8:30 so I could wake up half a day later feeling fresh but instead I woke up two or so hours later feeling tragically fresh

First thing that came to my head was "oh hey it must be 4 or 5 am already"

is my internet working? I just went from LTE to 3G, that's weird

hello??? is my internet dead

[blissful anvil]

yeah it's dead

[wary sparrow]

okay so it just swapped to 3G for god knows why

[rocky pecan]

3G doesn't exist here in the US anymore

When you open the driver's door, in the door well next to the back of the seat is the latch to the engine, the one where the hood latch usually is goes to the frunk instead

I'm running a 4070 with a ryzen 5 8600g and im still bumping to 30fps with a mix of normal-low settings and detailed mirrors off, why is it getting such bad frames?

[night saddle]

try vulkan

[vale turtle]

Yeah but shouldn't i be able to run the default option when launching the game with this kind of system though?

I feel like its my ram thats holding me back

[night saddle]

you should get higher but im not sure exactly what it is

how much ram

[vale turtle]

16 gigs of ddr5 on a single stick (i know 2x8 is better)

[night saddle]

although you should run still vulkan anyways

[vale turtle]

vulkan runs great yes

[night saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-gif-9073946004846392544

[vale turtle]

Specifically 4800mhz if that says anything

I changed from a system with an i5 11th gen with an 3060 and 32gigs of ram

[white bay]

beamng🌹

[white bay]

vulkan should be better on newer hardware

and a 8600G isnt great for gaming

[vale turtle]

well its a bit late now so im stuck with it

[white bay]

my fps keeps dipping to 30s this feels so horrible

atleast it looks good

[vale turtle]

and beamng refuses to let me bind my shifter, it correctly displays the inputs in the hardware tab but doesn't let me bind

[random edge]

f11

[vapid creek]

Not working

[random edge]

is it opening something but not world editor? it can sometimes open vehicle editor, and you have to exit it using the buttom on top left corner i think

[vapid creek]

No

it isn't doing anything

[random edge]

did you maybe lock your f keys, some keyboards can do that

[vapid creek]

No

[gritty anvil]

Is there any way to manually bind a button (as in, entering the bind and not activating the bind)

[vapid creek]

cause everything else bound to F keys work

[raven hawk]

I wanna make a good setup for d series for doing delivery’s on road

[raw iron]

i doubt there is a way to raise the roof

either dont use stacked boxes or take the roof off

oh come on bro how did the engine blow up

that works yeah,but damn that looks way worse

[floral hamlet]

[floral hamlet]

used ones are overpriced as well

[blissful anvil]

2007

[floral hamlet]

even worse

[ruby scroll]

ok something is definetly wrong

i played beamng in its safe mode and literally everything was fine

[floral hamlet]

lmao some goofball is asking 88k usd for a 2008 riced out gtr

[wary sparrow]

the only r35 i've seen for sale here is 600k

600k for a fucking nissan

[ruby scroll]

so its one of the mods
also for some reason i get better frames inside the safe mode (the only visual mods i have is enhanced camera, better windshield)

[floral hamlet]

95% of the time you're going to be buying someone else's overpriced project

and by the way, its still a 15+ year old nissan

gtr has to have outright the worst interior for the money

[wary sparrow]

it looks like shit and it sounds like shit

[floral hamlet]

2 truth nukes

[covert echo]

Eh it looks fine

[ruby scroll]

ok nvm i think its my game install

[floral hamlet]

88k usd, 2008

[covert echo]

Better than some other semi modern cars

now im stuck on this screen

only stuff like busses and trucks and other hd stuff gets diesel, mainly because there isn't a gas option

[floral hamlet]

v6's are a poor man's straight 6's

[covert echo]

Well if you have the time and money, then I guess you’ll own a sorta cool car

[blissful anvil]

thought you said parkinson's engine for a second

[wary sparrow]

truth

[knotty tusk]

in a way its similar to the us where the only vehicles you can get in diesel are trucks

[wary sparrow]

modern diesel cars just dont sell much apart from taxis and that

the coppers and taxis both use diesel

[night saddle]

in the us its a whole different story

[floral hamlet]

im glad that the nissan gtr hype is fully dead and buried

[knotty tusk]

diesel cars would be cool

[blissful anvil]

hell nah

[floral hamlet]

whats the point

[wary sparrow]

US coppers with their fat ass V8s, over here its either a diesel nissan frontier or the same diesel citroen the taxis use

[night saddle]

v8 ❤️

[covert echo]

Well there’s a reason people invented diesel

Or made diesel engines

[knotty tusk]

theyre more efficient than normal gas cars

[white bay]

this is nice

[covert echo]

Needs different wheels

[knotty tusk]

though its offset cause diesel is more expensive than gas so it makes sense

[night saddle]

i see a useful application of diesel to be in larger vehicles

[covert echo]

Exactly

[floral hamlet]

okay, but is there any reason to go out of your way to buy a diesel version of the same car you'd like to buy?

[floral hamlet]

im sure @gaunt turret can argue with that

[covert echo]

Well, what’s better, a diesel or petrol truck

[knotty tusk]

highly depends on what ur using it for ngl

[night saddle]

if i was rich id lhd swap one of these

[floral hamlet]

cars

[floral hamlet]

car

[night saddle]

i guess better fuel economy in some cases

[floral hamlet]

fuel is more expensive

at least its the case in russia

[sour torrent]

Per mile it's less, or should be.

[gaunt sedge]

diesel is good for most things but its built like a tank europe

[night saddle]

in some places diesel is cheaper than gas

although same here in the us diesel is more expensive

[prime cove]

This was like 6 months ago why did I get a notification now.

also that car is hideous I don't know what past me was thinking

[gaunt sedge]

must be a skill issue on your end

[woven comet]

hello

[gaunt sedge]

got a point there

[pure sparrow]

there's basically no normal diesel cars here anymore either

everything is also larger, less efficient engines here

[covert echo]

Well, it depends what’s cheaper
Like diesel or petrol

[pure sparrow]

example: you could buy a Golf mk7 in europe with a 1L 3 cyl engine, but the smallest size we had here was 1.8L, and then later a 1.4L for the mk7.5

[floral hamlet]

good

[gaunt turret]

consumer ones yes, depends which efficiency tho

[floral hamlet]

@knotty tusk more efficient in what way?

[swift crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/giovanni-giorgio-giorgio-opel-astra-astra-flying-car-gif-21119535

[pure sparrow]

higher compression ratio usually

[half flare]

diesel ETK and FCV:

[knotty tusk]

fuel efficiency

[knotty tusk]

i was talking about the us car market not beamng

[pure sparrow]

yeah we were talking about irl lol

[floral hamlet]

nobody would buy a diesel car there

[half flare]

ah, well due to price of diesel being more expensive it never really took off for cars

EU is another story entirely, diesel was the shit

[cosmic ember]

every truck is a car but not every car is a truck

One message removed from a suspended account.

[knotty tusk]

i know

[knotty tusk]

yeah

dieselgate probably didnt help it either

[half flare]

fr

[pure sparrow]

welll I wouldn't say "never" because people used to own Jetta TDI's and whatnot

[half flare]

damn youuu VW, we had a good thing going

[pure sparrow]

dieselgate made a lot of manufacturers stop selling diesels here

[half flare]

but it was a drop in the ocean compared the petrol car sales

[pure sparrow]

yeah but if it wasn't for dieselgate I think that the number would've grown

[half flare]

I doubt, with living crisis and the price of diesel being what it is over there, I still think petrol would have been king

[wintry plinth]

call me gsp gobbless

[coarse sigil]

diesel??

how about lpg

[wintry plinth]

holy moly

[coarse sigil]

one of the petrol stations has lpg for 99 pence per litre because theres no demand but petrol is around 130 with diesel being 135

[blissful anvil]

3rd world ahh solution

[pure sparrow]

I'm Canadian so I guess I'm talking more about over here. I'm also from Quebec, which has always had higher gas prices compared to the rest of north america. Diesels always sold better here

[coarse sigil]

this is in the uk

[blissful anvil]

so what

[half flare]

I've only heard of vans using LPG and even then it's rare

[coarse sigil]

i mean when i was looking for cars to buy, there was an imported ford f150 that was converted to lpg, wouldve been a fun project car ngl

[coarse sigil]

cant argue with that, scotland is a shithole in some places

[blissful anvil]

lpg never took off here because the climate was too hot for it or so I was told, not sure how true that is

[pure sparrow]

@half flare side note, Canada has been talking about accepting EU safety ratings (right now we use the american ones) which would allow EU imports. This would be huge for Quebec potentially

[coarse sigil]

US standards really are holding canada back, especially in trucks

[knotty tusk]

i hope they do that

[visual moss]

👋

[blissful anvil]

the us is holding itself back

[knotty tusk]

maybe we could see eu imports in the us just on canadian plates

[half flare]

loophole moment

[coarse sigil]

im trying to think about what cars canada is missing out on and only getting french cars but there are skodas and seats too, idk what the fuck else they are missing that they dont already have

the new renault evs i guess

[half flare]
