Isn't there a command to change it in real time? For example you can change fuel level using "drivetrain.fuel = (your value here)"

Like "drivetrain.odometer" or something like that

[wild raft]

I don’t think so

Though I also don’t really know what commands can even be entered into console

[craggy cedar]

The devs really need to post an entire list of all commands in BeamNG

Or when typing commands, it gives a list like in Minecraft

This would really be helpful

[dusky cipher]

I think the command is there because you can change the tank level in the vehicle configuration under tuning

[craggy cedar]

Yes

[wild raft]

That’s something else

[craggy cedar]

Where can I find an entire list of commands?

[ocean mauve]

Nowhere

This thread has a few, keep in mind some of the posts are almost 10 years old so they might not all work anymore
https://www.beamng.com/threads/beamng-console-commands.7222/

[craggy cedar]

Ok

The command for changing fuel would be:

energyStorage.getStorage('mainTank'):setRemainingVolume(<Your Value in Liters)

Example;

energyStorage.getStorage('mainTank'):setRemainingVolume(30)

This sets the cars fuel level to 30 liters

I will look after a command for odometer

[mellow kelp]

is there any mods something like stambecco? u know some offroad trucks or something like that

[craggy cedar]

I'm very near to the solution guys

[nimble valley]

report back with solution thanks

@craggy cedar

[dusky cipher]

do you maybe know the best, most realistic free car mod?

[fierce dust]

Is there a mod that adds a bmw? or a sedan mod?

[dusky cipher]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/gavril-vertex-na2.13061/

is the best sedan mod

[azure lava]

It makes me sad that some popular beamng modders have made some of their mods paid

Or just modders in general, Ive now seen multiple mods that are being labeled as paid which is kinda sad

[ocean mauve]

wow its almost like they put an immense amount of time and effort into their mods

[azure lava]

I understand why people do it, but it just doesnt sit right with me, donations and early access payments? Yeah sure, but making the mod paid is just not it for me

[azure lava]

It stops being a mod to me the moment it has a price tag, not only that its usually not even allowed to use someone elses property to directly profit your own

[ocean mauve]

someone elses property? all the good paid mods are 100% scratch made

[azure lava]

Its not their game

[ocean mauve]

so? its their mod, they put a lot of time and effort into it, they might not even have made it if they didnt get money for it

[azure lava]

Its not their game, using someone elses game for your own profit is 99% of the time illegal

It doesnt matter if they spent 10 years on it, it wont change the fact that its usually not even allowed

[ocean mauve]

It is allowed

[unreal chasm]

but actually beamng dev are fine with that

[azure lava]

Somehow

To be honest id rather have a donate option than make the mod paid, make the consumer judge if youre worthy of the money or not

[ocean mauve]

too bad its not up to you.

[azure lava]

Im surprised people are okay with this now, but when Bethesda did it it wasnt right

[unreal chasm]

it's simple, if the mod is paid and you want it, paid it, if you don't want to paid it, just don't use the mod :/ The modder is free to make it paid and the price he want because it's his mod

[azure lava]

Theres way too many people making their mods paid and then it being utter garbage

[ocean mauve]

that is definitely the case with irl car mods

but when it comes to lore friendly ones, all the paid ones have been excellent quality so far

[fierce dust]

Agreed

[azure lava]

Not only that this imo goes against what BeamNG devs have been doing, you pay for the game once and you get everything in that 1 purchase

[fierce dust]

I only watched the trailers

[azure lava]

I fear it is a gateway to a horrible business model later on

[ocean mauve]

except mods are not included in the game? thats the whole point of mods

[unreal chasm]

so for you, devs can't make paid DLC ?

[azure lava]

Are you satisfied with paying 100+ euros for the complete game, when bac then you could get the whole game for much less

and you didnt have to get 20 dlc, cause there was none

cause everything they gave to you was in 1 package

[ocean mauve]

in the case of beamng, yes. as long as any potential dlcs would add new content and arent just soulless money grabs

[azure lava]

I mean it is a pretty big part of BeamNG

[ocean mauve]

but it isnt official content in any way

[unreal chasm]

I'm fine with paid DLC, if I want play with the content in a DLC I can just paid it, and if I don't want to play with the content of this DLC, I don't buy it

[azure lava]

That would be terrible tbh

[ocean mauve]

then dont buy them. regardless, there arent plans for paid dlcs anyway do idk what youre on about

[fast kernel]

I mean, most of lore friendly paid mods have a demo version.

So you can test and decide if you want to pay for it or not.

[ocean mauve]

very true

[azure lava]

This is the only argument you have? Just dont buy

[unreal chasm]

I still don't understand why people are mad with paid mod, it's just normal

[azure lava]

Obviously I am not buying it

[ocean mauve]

iirc the upcoming scout will also have a demo

[azure lava]

It isnt normal, when you hear the term mods, none is gonna talk about paying for anything, the most you gotta pay for is patreon as a donation for early access

[unreal chasm]

(I still don't understand what "iirc" mean :/)

[ocean mauve]

yes? it really just depends on your view on the whole thing. i would, you wouldnt, thats it. simple no?

[azure lava]

And it shouldnt become the norm

[fast kernel]

(same)

[fierce dust]

same

[ocean mauve]

'if i recall correctly'

[fast kernel]

Thanks

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve

[unreal chasm]

The only thing I don't like about paid mod, it's some of them use monthly subscription, and with that you can be mad, but not with mod you paid one time

[fast kernel]

Especially when the mod is dev quality.

[azure lava]

monthly subscription is the worst, its the worst of all, in terms of everything

[ocean mauve]

but anyway, paid mods simply work great (for lore friendly ones at least). the devs are okay with it, the community is okay-ish with it (judging by the amount of times the mods get sold), and it allows modders to spend more time and effort on their mods

[unreal chasm]

oh I see, thanks xD

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve

[fierce dust]

Ah thanks

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve

[ocean mauve]

why bother spending up to a year of your time, working on a dev quality car, when all you get in return is "oh nice job"

[nimble valley]

that is why donations is good imo

[azure lava]

Then dont spend that time?

Donations is the only correct way to go about this

[fast kernel]

You’re spending a lot of time on designing, modeling, jbeaming your mod, trying to combine it with game lore, testing. And why I can’t ask for small donation for my efforts?

[azure lava]

donations or paid early access but eventually released for free

[unreal chasm]

technically you can't if you want to make a good mod

[ocean mauve]

then the mod wouldnt even exist?

[azure lava]

Then so be it, honestly

[ocean mauve]

for you maybe

which brings me back to the whole 'if you dont like it, dont buy it'

[azure lava]

Id rather have 0 mods than have any paid mods

[ocean mauve]

i think they are 100% worth it, so i buy them

[nimble valley]

they usually dont go a good enough job

[ocean mauve]

okay? you can

[nimble valley]

thats why people dont want to pay

[azure lava]

If im paying for your mod, it has to be better than the devs

[nimble valley]

the mods sound bad and are unrealistic to drive but look good

[azure lava]

Thats the standard

[nimble valley]

im sry but facts are facts people dont just hand out money for anything

[azure lava]

This

[ocean mauve]

when it comes to irl cars yes

[azure lava]

I agree with him

[unreal chasm]

I think an intelligent way to modder to sell her mods it to put a minimum price and give the opportunity to other to paid more if they want so like that they can technically lower the price of her mod (I'm not talking about mesh slap mod who are at 15€ lol)

[azure lava]

If you truly deserve to be paid, ask to be hired by BeamNG team, if youre so good

[ocean mauve]

im talking about stuff like the picnic, signia, and scout

[nimble valley]

ok you guys are talking about the lore stuff which i dont want and never will

[ocean mauve]

once again, personal preference 🤷

[nimble valley]

mhm

[unreal chasm]

I don't know if you know, but some member of beamng team are first modder for this game

[azure lava]

Except one is right and one is wrong

[fast kernel]

You really think that applying for job is that easy?

[azure lava]

I do

[azure lava]

If you got what it takes, people would be dying to have you

[ocean mauve]

what? the point here is that one person likes lore friendly cars and the other doesnt, how can that be right or wrong? that is purely an opinion

[azure lava]

No, the fact that mods should be paid or not, I dont know if you see this but this is what game industry is becoming to and having mods be paid is just another step at this point

[ashen flame]

they are literally 4 euros for a good one

[nimble valley]

id say the most demand is for irl realistic cars. Just look at the requests on here from new people.

"where is best place to download irl cars?"

[azure lava]

Price doesnt matter here

[unreal chasm]

(3.99€ lol)

[ashen flame]

(i can buy a literal coffee for that)

[azure lava]

Damn, that coffee must be good if its 4 euros

[nimble valley]

just go by the demand then you will understand

how many demand lore cars of the newbies

[unreal chasm]

(I can buy 4 baguettes 😉 )

[nimble valley]

i mean just look what the majority asks for

you will have your answer about paid mods

[azure lava]

I like lore accuracy, but I dont care what mod it is, I aint payin for it, I will simply find another way

[ashen flame]

iirc paid mods aren't a new thing either

[nimble valley]

ofc they arent

[azure lava]

Yes, but they are becoming normalized, which is terrible

[ashen flame]

it is normalised in other gaming communities

[ocean mauve]

well like weve already said, some of these mods would not be here if the authors didnt get a small compensation for them. you are in no way forced to get those mods, and so far all of the lore friendly ones have had a free demo. i personally think they are worth it, so i buy them. that is my own choice, and im not the only one. some of these mods have been sold hundreds of times. (though again when it comes to paid mods of irl mods, those generally arent worth it).

[azure lava]

Yall were hating on bethesda for doing this

[ashen flame]

paid modding?

[azure lava]

Yes

[nimble valley]

real life car mods are the only worth it for me

[ashen flame]

since when did i ever talk about Bethesda?

[nimble valley]

like the more realistic the more worth it it is for me.

[azure lava]

The topic is paid mods

[ashen flame]

about the subject of paid modding

[nimble valley]

the lore stuff i will never ever ever ever buy

[ashen flame]

i dont get why 4 euro is such a struggle

[azure lava]

Bethesda was i think atleast one of the first big ones to make mods paid

[nimble valley]

you should do a poll "which mod will you buy? Real cars or lore cars"

[azure lava]

That is not the point of this 🤦‍♂️

[nimble valley]

see what you get then go by that its smarter

[azure lava]

It could be 1 cent and I wouldnt pay for it

[ocean mauve]

there is no point at all lol

[azure lava]

It isnt about the price

[ashen flame]

effort in the mods?

[nimble valley]

im not a cheapskate i just spend money on what is worth it for me

[azure lava]

Bro calling me a cheapskate even though I just value my time and money

[nimble valley]

i dont pay if i dont want it

[fierce dust]

1 cent?!? Thats little bit cheap

[azure lava]

It aint about the price, its about the concept

[ashen flame]

nah i was making a quick jab at the discussion lol

[fierce dust]

Hmm yeah

[nimble valley]

jab lol good one vibe

forever the comedian

[ashen flame]

there is times when complaining about paid mods is understandable

[azure lava]

paying for early access? yeah sure thats fine by me, and donations, but making your mod outright just paid, that is just not gonna sit right with me

[ashen flame]

(like the overpriced Patreon truck mods that aren't even actually all that good)

[nimble valley]

yea those trucks are unrealistic and that is annoying

[ashen flame]

i wouldnt pay 20 dollars for a truck mod, frankly enough i dont want to

[nimble valley]

they are supposed to be real trucks

[azure lava]

I wouldnt pay for a mod

[nimble valley]

or trying to be but fail i think

[fierce dust]

Yeah i agree alot with you

[ashen flame]

they just make em for the looks thats it

[nimble valley]

yea 100%

[azure lava]

I dont mind that you ask money for your work, I understand you, but the moment you make your mod have a price tag, thats when its out of question for me

[wild raft]

What if the modders also value their time and money..?

[nimble valley]

and if they make em for just looks how will that benefit the customer?

[azure lava]

I just answered that above you

[nimble valley]

not unless its a scam then it makes sense

[ashen flame]

i'd make my mods paid, if i had to

obv not all of em, but higher quality projects

[nimble valley]

nobody ever said modders dont deserve compensation for their time and efforts but in return they have to work on what the demand asks for

[azure lava]

We are becoming too much like the game devs we dont like

[nimble valley]

if they dont make what is demanded then complain people dont want to pay well what can you do

[azure lava]

Yeah, I never said that they dont deserve to be paid

[ashen flame]

are we talking beamng or an EA title?

[azure lava]

Beamng is the new EA title but with extra steps

[wild raft]

You're kinda contradicting yourself in that sentence

[ashen flame]

at least you're not paying for a overpriced DLC, or power-ups for your car

[ocean mauve]

then whats the problem? only a few high quality lore friendly car mods are paid

and when it comes to irl stuff i have no clue, i never touch those 🤷

[wild raft]

And now youre exaggerating

[nimble valley]

make a poll on which type of mods people want on the forums and see what answer you get

please for once listen to community

ask about lore vs irl and see the votes

[azure lava]

More paid mods, more low quality crap hidden behind that

[ashen flame]

why are you looking at the 20 dollar a month real branded cars

ofc they're not gonna be good

[azure lava]

I fail to see where, I said they deserve to be paid, donations and early access payment I understand, but anything else is a no go for me

[ashen flame]

the effort they put in the mod?

If i made a mod for 5 years, i'd 100% make it paid

[nimble valley]

yea they show no gameplay video lol what a joke

[ocean mauve]

"for me". exactly.

[ashen flame]

Software isn't free.

[azure lava]

Because theyre part of the modding community also, you cant simply exclude a part of it and just have the "perfection"

[nimble valley]

they dont give out too much info on its realism like weight and power and torque

[wild raft]

Well, just don't look at paid irl mods lmao
most of them are a copyright violation anyways with very little effort put into them. Might as well call them a scam

[ashen flame]

To get free software, you need to pay for a PC or some device

[azure lava]

yeah, and I dont understand why youre with it

or any of yall

[ocean mauve]

because i dont have to have the same opinion as you?

[nimble valley]

they are 100% scam and they think we are total idiots and cant see it lol

[ocean mauve]

imo the picnic, signia, scout, and others like it, are 100% worth the money

[azure lava]

When its literally the same as a game thats infested with DLC and has barely any content outside of that

[ashen flame]

so you'd consider scams a part of the community?

[azure lava]

Yes, it is

[ocean mauve]

...

[ashen flame]

then play a game without DLC

(which is beamng)

[azure lava]

You cant pick and choose that, every community has some foul

[nimble valley]

yea

[ocean mauve]

then stay away from the foul???

[nimble valley]

thats what i do lol

[ocean mauve]

pointless discussion lol

[ashen flame]

GTA community is infested with replace cars, ofc theres the addon ones too

[azure lava]

do you not understand what ims aying

[nimble valley]

well people dont want to accept the fact beamng.tech and beamng.drive is using same physics engine

[azure lava]

you cant simply just ignore it, that it isnt there

[nimble valley]

i already tired explaining it yet they still want to persist

[wild raft]

You fail to consider that the very vast majority of Beam mods are free?

[ashen flame]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-yachty-drake-oprahs-bank-account-meme-laptop-gif-20803826

[nimble valley]

this isnt your usual mainstream garbage

[ocean mauve]

except i can. i never even bother looking at the irl stuff.

[azure lava]

They are, but probably not for long

[nimble valley]

this is why people get bored quickly if they dont put in their own work

[wild raft]

You are wrong

[azure lava]

Am I tho?

[ocean mauve]

yes

[ashen flame]

people would make their mods forever free

[azure lava]

Give me a year

[fierce dust]

i dunno

[fierce dust]

Hmm alright

[azure lava]

Give me like a year

[ashen flame]

nobody is that greedy to pull their mods off the repo and make em paid

[wild raft]

For what?

[nimble valley]

define mods though please

[azure lava]

Ill count the current mods that I can find that are paid right now

[nimble valley]

is a mod fantasy or realistic simulation

[ocean mauve]

besides i dont see people buying mods that only add a few parts

[nimble valley]

its important

[azure lava]

The fact that this is acceptable will encourage trashy people to use the system, and even then mods should never be just paid

[ashen flame]

mhm yeah ill make my portfolio paid

[azure lava]

This is a fairly recent change right? Where beamng devs acknowledged this

[nimble valley]

i hope you will become better and eventually start making real life car mods since you are talented

[azure lava]

Just give me a year

[nimble valley]

you would need a team for the physics and sounds

[fierce dust]

i will

[nimble valley]

3d modders are mostly artists and cant do that

[ashen flame]

i don't want to make real life car mods, because some cars there's usually little reference data

[wild raft]

mods are like a freelance piece of work
Of course you can sell them
Would you sculpt a little wood figure and just give it away for free every time you make one?

[nimble valley]

they can but it wont be as good

[ocean mauve]

the threads i sent earlier are from 2016.

[ashen flame]

and i'd probably have to buy the car to get the most out of it

[nimble valley]

no i mean 3d

[ashen flame]

oh

[nimble valley]

you are an artist thats apparent

not engineer type i have seen that

so make it look 1:1 or almost thats your job

[wild raft]

btw, this will be free

[ashen flame]

3m muted

[wild raft]

skull issue

[nimble valley]

a 3d modder is like an artist

he is not good at making physics

everyone has their strength and weakness

[ashen flame]

tbh i prefer the modeling part over making the actual mod itself

[wild raft]

I got my fingers in everything kinda

[nimble valley]

then it will be diluted imo

[ashen flame]

but not to the point where i want to meshslap my mod

[nimble valley]

you know what is diluted?

[ashen flame]

yes

[wild raft]

Huh? Just because I can make a whole thing on my own?

[nimble valley]

it will become weaker in every area instead of strong in one

well i think so anyways

[ashen flame]

migght make 900 supported into my plate holder mod when it comes out

[wild raft]

Tho tbh, I'll likely get some help on the suspension, interior and engine block/turbos

[ashen flame]

personally i would make a mod paid if it came into a few factors

[nimble valley]

if you wont someone will download your mod and edit it

[azure lava]

Yes, unless the person thinks its worth paying for

[nimble valley]

like i am doing to many mods

correct the illogical things which most of the time arent many ofc

much is done correctly

[wild raft]

What?

[ashen flame]

hes probably referring to those who "revamp" ther mod

[nimble valley]

yea correct some minor things

yea either revamp or just fix minor things

to align with the real things

[wild raft]

correcting minor things isnt a revamp

[nimble valley]

focus na2 for example

either a revamp or minor edits

your mods definitely dont need a revamp lol

they are excellent

[wild raft]

Thank you

[azure lava]

I agree, I love every mod youve made

I think my personal fave is the twin mill hopper

[ashen flame]

i still need to find the time to remaster the c-series but i dont have motivation to do that

[nimble valley]

i would be curious on a poll "will you want real life cars or lore mods?"

[ashen flame]

best inn0cent mod is the ladder

[wild raft]

100% agreed

[nimble valley]

but it is impossible imo for one man to do everything well

[ashen flame]

best vibestation mod

:Trol:

[fast kernel]

My best mod is CC brakes for Centauri (and it’s the only mod I’ve released lol)

[nimble valley]

for example the drag limited top speed of a crown victoria 98-11 is about 154 mph

i am adjusting the drag coef to hit that speed

this is valuable modding to me but if the crown vic looked terrible and was 1 meter long and weighed 1200 kg then it would ruin the fun

so need both sides for it to work

[fast kernel]

I’m surprised that somebody actually downloaded that.

[nimble valley]

i mean if the 3d was stupid size

[ashen flame]

probably the best mod desc ive actually written

[nimble valley]

like the artist didnt make it 1:1 then it would also be a bad mod and i dont want to pay

[ashen flame]

all of my mod descriptions look like advertisements lmao

[nimble valley]

lol business man exposed

jk

[wild raft]

My old automation mod descs be like

[nimble valley]

well we are all trying to work together and we need to advertise ourselves to get what we want

it all makes sense vibe

[fast kernel]

Actually I lost my mind and decided to use Porsche transaxle for Pessima lol.

Just because traditional layout won’t fit.

[wild raft]

I also find it funny how I just axe one of my old ones one by one when I release a new mod to retain my 69 mods

[ashen flame]

the way this has been for every single mod of mine for the most part

[sturdy bramble]

peak human performance

[wild raft]

??

[fast kernel]

Problem solved.

[nimble valley]

you are trying to sell your nice looking 3d to people who like realism basically

does it make sense?

[unreal chasm]

poor guy who just want showing his truck xD

?

[fast kernel]

When you decided to be an engineer but failed horribly.

[ashen flame]

what if its a unrealistic mod

[nimble valley]

then they have no interest

and wont buy

for those who can spend money on mods

just ask what they want on the forums

to get an idea and if they want realistic physics and sounds too then you must get a team

and if you do what they dont want then lmfao i dont know what to say

but the thing is im already getting what i want for free basicall

i made a few edits to the crown vic mod and its driving like real

so in order for paid mods to be worth it well siht i dont know what they would have to be like lol

[azure lava]

as good if not better what the devs can do

[nimble valley]

yea but even dev mods feel like lore cars

vanilla beamng cars feel unrealistic

well they are good but well i dunno still dont feel right

and its understandable because they are just made up

fictional

hard to get aero testing and have it pass real world tests for road use etc

[twin hornet]

so im working on a map and i just layed down decal roads for the road markings and set them to also overlay objects because theres a bridge on the map, but if i do so the decal just goes way below the map at random points and after those points its entirely invisible

anyone know the cause?

[fast kernel]

Really stupid question time:
How do you draw those lines in Blender?

[wild raft]

take a vertex and extrude it along a reference image in orthographic view

[nimble valley]

might as well buy a realistic 3d model and just stare at it 🤣

3d is just 50% of the product

lol product gtfo with that bs

you guys seriously thought you were going to be able to sell good looking 3d models to realistic simulation fans

im speechless

no wonder this paid lore mod bs backfired

[wild raft]

...???

[proud bobcat]

I'm wondering. Is there any 94-99' toyota Starlet/glanza mod out there

[nimble valley]

it did backfire since people keep complaining and stuff

[nimble valley]

lmfao look

94 to 99 starlet

toyota real life car hahahahaha

[proud bobcat]

Nothing out there it seems

[nimble valley]

🤣

[proud bobcat]

Unfortunately

Is that so funny? Lol

[wild raft]

it's causing drama because people don't want to pay for it

[wild raft]

I don't really get what you mean

[nimble valley]

yea because they arent making what they want

arent getting what beamng is about

refuse to accept it maybe i dunno

you are now with the saleen s7 though

[wild raft]

Who exactly do you mean?

[nimble valley]

the guys making the paid stuff

[wild raft]

Which paid stuff

[nimble valley]

lucasbe, lj, vibe and talkingbath and more

the signia and claria and scout and whatnot

lj is making the real life nissan now

and its great

[wild raft]

How are they not getting what beam is about?

[nimble valley]

look what the demand is for

real life cars what more do i have to say?

[wild raft]

Modders can do what they want tho

[fast kernel]

@feral pawn is doing some illegal stuff.

[wild raft]

I'm also not making the Saleen because others demand for it but rather because I want to create it

[dusky cipher]

does anyone know maybe the best most realistic free car mod?

[nimble valley]

lmfao

[wild raft]

https://www.beamng.com/resources/?order=rating_weighted

[ashen flame]

I don’t make paid content (yet)

[nimble valley]

yea i know you and talkingbath were thinking about it is all so obvious

you troll the customers here thinking they are idiots then want them to buy

[wild raft]

What??

[dusky cipher]

thx :D

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @wild raft

[nimble valley]

ok we need peaceful agreement then

[wild raft]

smod, what the hell are you talking about?

[nimble valley]

because they clearly wont fall for it

[ashen flame]

if I want to make a perfection mod I go buy the vehicle and research so much into it

[ashen flame]

what kinda stuff you smoking?

[nimble valley]

thats not the point simulators exist because they are capable of it

[wild raft]

Dude, they're making an original car

[nimble valley]

you want money so i can criticise you for it

[whole ruin]

sir you're clearly off the plot rn

[nimble valley]

you wont win this argument since beamng is ultra realistic sim

the truth will win

[wild raft]

How do you want to determine the realism of an original car?

[ashen flame]

stop smoking the drugs when you’re in a discussion mate

[nimble valley]

look the trolling again and this idiot wants money

[ashen flame]

Trolling, money?

[whole ruin]

he's in the pot withdrawal rn.

[wild raft]

And they're making a good mod for it?

[nimble valley]

nobody here agrees except the people who are in on the bs

[unreal chasm]

what is your best mod (in term of download only) because I'm not able to know what mod you have make (only the etk900)

[nimble valley]

the community agrees with me i think

[ashen flame]

smod can you stop smoking weed and getting high off it and making up things

[fast kernel]

Innocent is beating BeamNG modding again.

[ashen flame]

@unreal chasm

[unreal chasm]

nice thanks !

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @ashen flame

[wild raft]

What bs are you talking about??

[nimble valley]

lets just see what the community will do

majority decides in the end

i dont need to do or say anything

[fast kernel]

insert random Saleen picture

Which is actually a tube frame chassis with LS3 sadly.

[wild raft]

yep

[whole ruin]

they flip up like that 👀

[ashen flame]

why are you trying to portray me as a scammer

[nimble valley]

you are trying to do the real cars now so you are doing what the people want

[fast kernel]

Just like on McLaren.

[whole ruin]

yeah also doug demuro couldn't fit in the car

[nimble valley]

not basically a scammer but maybe delusional is better word

[nocturne pier]

can someone reccomend some good mods?

[wild raft]

Other modders are also referencing real cars though?

[ashen flame]

smod I’m sorry but you probably got schizophrenia

[nimble valley]

thats the thing they arent

[wild raft]

They are though??

[unreal chasm]

I currently making a real car, it's not because people want, it's because I want

[nimble valley]

except LJ is now doing nissan silvia which he is also doing like you making real cars

do you guys understand supply and demand?

[ashen flame]

Yes, but we aren’t businesses

[fast kernel]

That’s because the seats are configured to fit the original owner.

[nimble valley]

so why the paid mods then?

[wild raft]

Game modding isn't a supply and demand model 💀

[whole ruin]

yeah that's the case

[nimble valley]

anything about money transaction is supply and demand and involves that

[ashen flame]

Have you ever seen commissions on art?

[nimble valley]

you are on a slippery slope once you start asking for money

[wild raft]

because the creators would like compensation for their time?

[unreal chasm]

it's only about the price of the mod technically

[whole ruin]

so no donations either 👍

[nimble valley]

not unless its your parents helping you out of pur kindness thats different

or helping your kids or whatnot

[fast kernel]

There is a pinned message with mod list in this channel.

[nimble valley]

that is what donations are for actually

[fast kernel]

Please take a look here.

[ashen flame]

also could help with real world financial issues

[wild raft]

yeah

[nocturne pier]

thank you

[lyric cedar]

Gave +1 Reputation to @fast kernel

[nimble valley]

ask for donations or help from your family

[fast kernel]

You’re welcome.

[nimble valley]

or if you are healthy find job

[ashen flame]

but because I can’t drive, I can’t make a accurate real car “supply and demand”

[nimble valley]

not unless you are godlike in beamng modding do i ever see a profit from it

[fast kernel]

You can’t drive?

I thought you had a driving license.

[nimble valley]

if you arent healthy ask for help around you there is some

[wild raft]

You don't get much from donos though

[nimble valley]

yea well there is always help to be found

[ashen flame]

I live in the UK

[fast kernel]

Sorry for stupid question, but what it does with driving license? I really don’t know.

[ashen flame]

Minimum age to get a full car license

[nimble valley]

sry to anyone i insulted i did not mean it

do not take it personally

[ashen flame]

you can get a provisional/learners permit at 16 but the full car one is 17 iirc

[nimble valley]

for me i use beam to simulate what i couldnt do atm in real life and i already achieved this

[fast kernel]

Hmm, you can get your driving license only at the minimal age 18 in Russia.

[ashen flame]

I can get the provisional but not the full car license

[nimble valley]

so this is why i wonder what can paid modders add on top of that that i am not already able to do?

[wild raft]

So what would be your stance on paid real car mods then?

[fast kernel]

So you UK guys are starting to drive earlier than we.

[nimble valley]

thats a tough one innocent

[ashen flame]

i think so

[nimble valley]

i personally never see it working

not unless we are talking hyper realism

sounds are almost 1:1 and physics almost 1:1 and even the visuals

[wild raft]

glad we agree on that

[ashen flame]

at that point just play something else lol

[feral pawn]

i got my first car when i was 14, but thats because my dad was a mechanic and he wanted to teach me

[nimble valley]

if the sounds and physics are almost 1:1 you got something on your hands

worth talking about.

[feral pawn]

didnt start driving legally until 17 though

[fast kernel]

Damn, your dad must be a really cool dude.

[nimble valley]

and you deserve beam dev role actually

but by that time you have a salary

because you got a job

lol

[ashen flame]

physics and sound id have to buy an irl equivalent or test drive to get accurate samples

[nimble valley]

well this is what i meant

its so damn hard to do

but not impossible

but be realistic about it because if you arent capable then you are wasting your time.

really take a good hard think on it

[ashen flame]

no one would insure me on an s class anyesy

[nimble valley]

i will say this you guys are seriously talented though

i cant jbeam for crap lol but still have yet to see your talents do some work that make sense

hence peoples complaints

well innocent and LJ are now doing it

nissan and saleen s7

finally something real world stuff

[feral pawn]

most people that make beamng mods impress me, my mods are just bad lmao

[ashen flame]

i think the Saleen was meant to be lore @wild raft can you confirm

[wild raft]

yes

I want it to be on the repo

and I ain't paying for a license cuz then I'm poor

[ashen flame]

same fr

[fast kernel]

I need to ask this.

Is EV/hybrid version planned for more customization?

[ashen flame]

That license would cost as much as the real deal

[wild raft]

But basically it will be a saleen rebadge

[whole ruin]

tbh, no modders want to do what people says. No one. We make stuff whatever we feel like

[nimble valley]

crown vic hits 154 mph with stock power and with 20psi boost its hitting 233 mph lmfao

[fast kernel]

Not just a rebadge, but scratch made dev quality rebadge.

That changes a lot.

[nimble valley]

drag limit is 154 mph but governor is 129 mph

ffb is so spot on

its pulling like a real wheel beamng is legit

it vibrates when correcting too

[ashen flame]

now for that i definitely have to try the real car irl

[unreal chasm]

like his vertex xD

[nimble valley]

yes you need real world experience to know that its spot on like a real car

thats the thing

[ashen flame]

i am not going to America just to legally drive the damn thing for that either

[nimble valley]

but using common sense you would ask real drivers about it if you havent.....

use your head

[ashen flame]

True

[nimble valley]

common sense

[fast kernel]

His?

[nimble valley]

thats what simulation is all about logic

[ashen flame]

french moment

[fast kernel]

You know that Innocent is she, right?

[fallow robin]

saleen s7 uses a 7L gavril v8

[unreal chasm]

technically he is free to make the FFB like he want, because a similar car from 2 differents brands doesn't have the same feeling

[unreal chasm]

euh, no xD

[nimble valley]

but within this world we live in

[unreal chasm]

oh yes xD it's "it" because it's an object :/

[nimble valley]

not alternate universe

this reality is a closed system and will only perform in one way

[fast kernel]

I mean…

God my internet is smoking something today.

[nimble valley]

when will this gender talk stop? are you trying to create a storm on purpose? this is modding discussion

[ashen flame]

iirc when a french person speaks English, don’t they use he and such when referring to objects

[fast kernel]

It’s so slow.

[ashen flame]

it’s not that, it’s misunderstanding

[unreal chasm]

yes but I don't read that :/ but in this case the "his" is for the car so I'm just bad xD

[unreal chasm]

it's so confusing, so some time I want use "it" for a person xD

[nimble valley]

there are certain power steering and newton meter forces and i am within that currently

makes me laugh when driving it lol

because im sitting on the pc

power of realistic simulator

[ashen flame]

What’s the ffb value calculated in?

[fallow robin]

id love a good p1

[ashen flame]

Ffbcoef or sth

[nimble valley]

its just a number currently

but the force is ofcourse the SI unit newton meters

but the number in the files is just a multiplier

turn it up or down until you match what you know

by then you have realism and can enjoy burnouts and abusing realistic cars lol

so long as there is a demand for cars anyways

then when people realize how realistic it is maybe a spinoff of simracing will emerge i dunno

but i have no idea if it will happen

maybe it will forever be a sandbox

those tire nodes keep hardcore sim fans ways i think

[ashen flame]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043223312786010113/1077718296876552272/image.png

[nimble valley]

and hardcore sim fans accept nothing but full on simulation

[ashen flame]

What does this value do exactly?

[nimble valley]

its sound isolation

[ashen flame]

I tried adjusting it but it won’t make the interior go quieter

[nimble valley]

for interior. at 0 there is no isolation

at 1 there is 100% (defined by tdk)

[fallow robin]

do yall think interior and exterior sounds should be completely different?

[ashen flame]

@gilded cosmos does having it at 1 make it dead silent like an Audi A8?

[nimble valley]

keep them away i meant to say

yea the sound isolation will be 100%

but 100% is defined by tdk

exchy taught me about this cabinfilter code recently

[ashen flame]

The patch notes and documentation is very unclear on what it does

[nimble valley]

oh i know

its all very raw atm

i had to crawl through dirt to learn all of this

lol it was like war 2020

[ashen flame]

Other than the fact 1 is on, 0 is off

[fallow robin]

im sure documentation will get better once the game becomes less and less subject to change and more stuff becomes concrete

[nimble valley]

0.5 is half

its endless between

its not on off

the fact that they made beams and nodes makes this like building a real life car

the level of effort is similar

without the physical labor

rfactor was the same

engineering tool

[pine bobcat]

Are twixer’s mods any good?

[nimble valley]

so for disabled and old people simulators are perfect

they too can then enjoy working on cars

[ashen flame]

fully Jbeamed wheelchair

[nimble valley]

but like one chevrolet camaro ss owner said "it saves us alot on tickets and gas"

[ocean mauve]

no

[pine bobcat]

Ok 👍

[nimble valley]

because of the tire friction and smoke simulation and good sound mods

and realistic everything

trix made the bugatti chiron but it only looked good but didnt make sense

it was trash besides the 3d

innocent turned it around

[sinful geode]

Is there a way to have letters or numbers displaying on a designated surface? Or does that have to be done on the textures?

[jade briar]

but at the same time if you just want the car and dont care about how it drives or crashes (me) then Twixer mods are pretty decent

[nimble valley]

because its obvious what you are trying to do

[ashen flame]

dont worry its just his schizophrenic activities

[nimble valley]

yea ofc if it makes you feel better with your failed business venture

[ashen flame]

business? i am an individual

[nimble valley]

lol deluded individual more like

[nimble valley]

wasting your time basically thetalkingbath

[ashen flame]

accusing people of things like theyre some evil marxist thing

[nimble valley]

i know what you are here for toxic reasons

[sinful geode]

I mean have a customizable surface that displays numbers and letters input by the player in the parts menu, like on a license plate.

[ashen flame]

theres a reason to why Coke(Caine) is illegal

[nimble valley]

make money and if you cant do that you harass people online like they are some toys

[ocean mauve]

that would be even more work, not sure how that even works in vanilla

[nimble valley]

you wont win in this

[ashen flame]

are you genuinely schizophrenic or something

[nimble valley]

the community has voted for realism

they want real cars not buggies

[ashen flame]

(there is none)

[pine bobcat]

Schizo rambling

[sinful geode]

Then just have the letters and numbers on the texture 👍

[nimble valley]

no im fine

[ashen flame]

you were blaming me for paid mods, then you praise me apparently

[fast kernel]

Please stop causing the drama here. First and last warning.

[nimble valley]

i was trying to be reasonable and praise you but you pay me back with more toxic crap that is why you are officialy a turd in my book calling me a schizo on top of it.

[ashen flame]

because you are. I'm sorry to say it, but you got that schizo energy

No it's gud

[ocean mauve]

it isnt really recommended to download from other sites

[echo kite]

ik

[fast kernel]

That's how I came with idea of Porsche transaxle for Pessima

[echo kite]

Because of the other mod I am not gonna download it prob

[feral pawn]

yeah thats why i plan on getting mine into the mod repository soon, downloading it from google drive is questionable

[vast atlas]

To my knowledge beammonsters is safe.

[echo kite]

Thats were I found it

[ocean mauve]

still, only download from the official site if you can

[echo kite]

yes

Is modland safe?

ok

Before I factory reset I did download stuff from there

I have found some automation bikes

[jade briar]

Modland is relatively safe but the quality is terrible or if its good, its probably stolen, like TTB said

[echo kite]

Ye I have seen a ton of stolen mods on there

[fallow robin]

gonna fix a6 physics

why are there constantly arguements in beam cord

why dont we all get along😪

[ashen flame]

no one gets along

we should all get along

for the better of the community

looking forward to it

how accurate is it tho id like to know?

[fallen raptor]

Still very wip

[fallow robin]

that looks good hope this mod turns out great but i would loved to see the jbeam with the model anyways good work👍🏽

[fallow robin]

ahh okay

[fallen raptor]

It had its first release of the version before it already on a certain site

[fallow robin]

i know its a bit complicated but i beg you not to use scintilla gauges😭

i dont mind if that makes release time extend but pleaseee🙏

[unreal chasm]

it's a scratch made ? and what the model look like ?

[fallen raptor]

Scintilla gauges will be temporary in till I have the real ones. Currently the car only has a nav

[polar jackal]

I found it! The Procyon Centauri got its name from this star (I believe)

[midnight cove]

How hard do you guys think it would be to update the old lada pack up to be PBR and other fixes? I haven’t tried the pack out yet since it first launched so idk how messed up it is, but do you guys think it would be possible to atleast get one of the cars to work again?

[drowsy frost]

Procyon is basically associated with stars and different names of them in general lol.

@gusty remnant is there any proper guide for SP?

Also have it, but got no idea how to use it with Beam parts.

[gusty remnant]

i learned 1 and a half years ago, and definitely there wasn't any at that time, i learnt pressing every button and a bit of common sense

but now there is alot

[fast kernel]

Hmm, can I ask you for help sometimes?

[lusty nova]

What do you guys use to make mods for beamng?

[fast kernel]

Blender, Notepad++, Photoshop…

A lot of programs.

[lusty nova]

Ok Ty

[gilded cosmos]

0 - cabin filter off, 1 is cabin filter on. Anything in between will give a mix between the two. We're currently going through all the vehicles adding this to parts with "cabinFilterCoet" : 0.12 (as an example) on the body jbeam, and adding "$+cabinFilterCoef": 0.0x to add filtering to different parts, like the windscreen, doors etc.

This will be our first pass at doing this, and we'll see what the feedback is. If cabinfilter = 1 needs to be even more filtering, then we can do that and then rebalance every other part in game which sets this up, but I'm not keen on doing it too many times as it is extremely laborious.

[ocean mauve]

So getting rid of parts or adding parts can change the filtering? (eg. removing the windshield will result in more outside noise?). And if so, does this only happen when selecting or deselecting parts in the parts menu, or also when losing parts from damage (eg. nodegrabbing the windshield and pulling it out will result in more outside noise?)

[gilded cosmos]

Yes - but unfortuantely it's not directional (this is basically a cheap way to solve a problem of open top vehicles being filtered), and then seeing how else we can make improvements. Nor is it in real time (so losing windows whilst playing will not affect the filtering. Changing/removed parts with the configurator will affect the filter.

Ray casting is our long term goal to achieve all of this in a directional and real time way.

It's very basic and unrealistic atm, but at least an improvement.

[fast kernel]

How do you even change when sound filters or not? Might be useful for me when modding.

[ocean mauve]

Good to know, at least it is better than before. And ray casting sounds awesome 😁 Hope I get to hear that one day

[ocean mauve]

something something

adding "$+cabinFilterCoef": 0.0x to add filtering to different parts

so the +... will add to the overall filtering

so if "cabinFilterCoef" : 0.12 like in TDK's example, adding "$+cabinFilterCoef": 0.02 to a part will make the overall filtering 0.14 (if i understand it correctly 😅)

[gilded cosmos]

You must set the "cabinFIlterCoef" (without that $ or $+) on the body jbeam, then you may want to set "$+cabinFIlterCoef" on each door, door panel, window, sunroof etc. etc.

If you don't set "cabinFIlterCoef" on a body jbeam then filtering will always be "1" no matter what "$+cabinFIlterCoef" you set on other jbeams.

[ocean mauve]

Nice, thanks for the explanation

I'm guessing "$-cabinFilterCoef" would also work? For example if a car doesn't have "cabinFilterCoef" so the filtering is 1, and you want to make a convertible version of said car, you could give the convertible roof part "$-cabinFilterCoef": 0.6 to make the total 0.4? Or does the lack of "cabinFilterCoef" mean its just always 1, no matter what you add or subtract in other parts

[gilded cosmos]

Negative numbers will work but I think you still need to use the positive maths function... so you would add -0.1 rather than minus +0.1, and indeed I've used that on a few lightweight interiors - although I probably shouldn't as it's not accurate.

In your example, the value would stay at 1 because the original coef is not set up in the body. If it's not setup then all other values are not read by the system.

[ocean mauve]

Ah, ok

Thanks for enduring all my questions 😂

[gilded cosmos]

no trouble at all 👍

[gilded cosmos]

To be honest, it's definitely not Q8 quality deadening. I'll have a bit of a play and see if I can improve it without breaking other vehicles.

[wild raft]

Well… unless you make some custom lua for that 👀

[fast kernel]

I still can’t understand how you managed to add working door light and sound isolation…

[gilded cosmos]

we're not going to do that because this is just an "interim fix".

[wild raft]

True

[wild raft]

I check the length of a beam that is placed between the latch and lock of each door. If it‘s larger than like 0.01m, it‘s safe to assume that the door should be opened, so I set the filter to 0 and turn the light on until all open doors are closed again

I know that checking the state of the lock is probably much easier but I don’t know how so…

[ashen flame]

Does the value on other parts deafen it more?

[gilded cosmos]

Max value is 1.. so you need to share the values between all the parts. So for example, body (if there isn't a separate roof or sunroof jbeam), 0.28, door 0.03-0.06, door panel 0.03-0.06, door glass 0.04-0.08, windscreen 0.12, tailglass 0.12 etc. etc.

[hollow citrus]

I thought Centauri was a star

i didnt know both were

[ashen flame]

that's a shame

i expected it to go up more (thought that would make it quieter)

[wild grotto]

both procyon and centauri are star systems iirc

[ocean mauve]

ok

[zenith cloud]

does this mean i can get rid of the muffled audio on that gsxr mod when in first person?

[gilded cosmos]

I'm assuming that's a motorcycle mod? Yes, add this to the body.jbeam

"sounds": {
    "cabinFilterCoef": 0.00
},

that's if you want to break the law not wearing a crash helmet of course 😉

[zenith cloud]

tysm

(i can always just set it to like 0.2 or something for a simulated helmet)

i assume its the frame.jbeam, right?

[gilded cosmos]

If that's the file which sets up the other jbeam files to use, like what engine jbeam to use, cameras etc. then yes.

[zenith cloud]

then i think its sp.jbeam because its the only one that has any results for camera

[zenith cloud]

do i just add the line to the end of it or somewhere specific?

[gilded cosmos]

I'm not a modder so all I can say is what I'm doing with the release title. I've put it above the "soundscape" settings in our body.jbeam, and in the other jbeam files I've put the other modifier values above "nodes".

[ashen flame]

vanilla?

oh nvm its the bike

[zenith cloud]

yeah

[zenith cloud]

where would you put it in the .jbeam if you were doing it?

[hollow citrus]

I can see that

[ashen flame]

the body if its a bike, the interior jbeam if its a car

[zenith cloud]

like so?

[ashen flame]

nono that's a skin jbeam

might as well just put it where a camera happens to be present

[zenith cloud]

thats this one

sp.jbeam

[ashen flame]

i think you put it with it's body jbeam

[zenith cloud]

it doesnt have one specifically labelled body

closest is frame, but there are no results for camera there

[ashen flame]

Driver?

[ashen flame]

Yeah frame should work

[ashen flame]

could work

[zenith cloud]

i think i broke it

dose anybody know whare to get this??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq6bGbinqZE

[unreal chasm]

it is not released

[latent ivy]

dam all of the best mods are Privite

[pastel matrix]

So, I am attempting to create a bus skin and I noticed there's a grey middle part that looks like it's for the articulated version

am i supposed to remove it? or just put some images and stuff on the grey part?

[unreal chasm]

probably just not finished for the moment

[unreal chasm]

the bus doesn't have articulated version

[ashen flame]

probably so other people could extend the bus, im not exactly sure

[pastel matrix]

ah okay

[latent ivy]

me waiting for etk 900 (never)

[ashen flame]

one day

Any ideas on how to fix this?

[fallow robin]

quick sr20det sound i did

real car sample for comparison

[balmy owl]

What program is that?

[rocky mason]

I'm looking for someone who can make a skin for my YouTube channel. DM me if you are interested in helping!

[fast kernel]

@fallow robin are you taking sound mods requests?

[fallow robin]

yeah i take requests wassup

[fast kernel]

Can you make a 4AGE or stock RB26?

[fallow robin]

seems simple enough

[fast kernel]

I even found samples for 4A from Initial D files.

[fallow robin]

ahh let me hear em

[fallow robin]

holdon one sec

unfortunately its cut short

but which would you prefer i do?

rb26 or 4age?

[fast kernel]

4A.

[fallow robin]

okay im gonna give you a selection of samples to pick from

[abstract zinc]

Reskni, can you make a 6 wheeled covet if possible

https://tenor.com/view/car-dance-beamng-drive-gif-25678589

[fallow robin]

i dont model

[abstract zinc]

Ill try to then and make a terrible model

And I don’t know how to

[fallow robin]

@fast kernel

[fast kernel]

Second.

[fallow robin]

yup thats what im using

[fallow robin]

next is exhaust

[fallow robin]

@fast kernel

[fast kernel]

Sounds good.

I should probably include that speed chime in Pessima.

[fast kernel]

But I think it needs a little bit more aggression.

[pastel matrix]

paint.net (usually used to make skins for vehicles in BeamNG)

its actually my first time making a skin and it took like 2 hours and the results are.... eh

[solemn vector]

you are meant to ignore it

since that part is not used by ingame bus rn

im convinced articulated version was/is planned

[languid timber]

It likely was

Funny thing is, the Wentward Expansion Pack mod by DaddelZeit actually adds an articulated version

[solemn vector]

I'm aware, it's a great mod

[proud bobcat]

Anyone know if there is a 94-99 Toyota starlet mod (or like a like) out there?

This game seems to have every car, but that one lol

[vague meteor]

I've seen a few people recommend the ModLand Porsche 911 992 (by TwiXeR) as like one of the better mods on the side but it's still ModLand I'm naturaly very hasitant to download it. Is it safe and is it any good?

[ocean mauve]

people recommended that stuff? yikes

its alright, but its still just a meshslap, nothing special

[zenith cloud]

ues

[vague meteor]

Oof, sad.

[zenith cloud]

its fine to download

[ocean mauve]

just dont expect amazing quality

but yes safe to download and somewhat okay for a meshslap

[shadow knoll]

That place should be called malware land. But I don't know I've never downloaded anything I just know it's not a good place

[vague meteor]

absolutely not a good place

[ocean mauve]

That place should be called malware land.

But I don't know I've never downloaded anything

[shadow knoll]

i dont tust it loll

[ocean mauve]

yes modland has low quality mods, but i dont think they have that many viruses or anything

[shadow knoll]

I've heard so many stories though and seeing so many stolen content ect

[drowsy frost]

Modland as a site is relatively safe and the chances of people getting viruses is incredibly low.

However:

• Stolen mods
• Low quality slaps
• ""joke"" mods, some going as far as having CP and NSFW.
• 3rd party, unsafe.

Just stick to the official site.

[wild raft]

It won't drive like a Porsche in any way
It's just understeer mania for every config

[vague meteor]

yeah, won't try the porsche. Well not until the low chance of someone remastering it as a true mod happens (like you with the Chiron, great car btw, especially for it being a meshlap at one point in time)

[wild raft]

The GT3 RS also is somehow slower than the Turbo S

[vague meteor]

incredible design, impeccable quality

[proud bobcat]

not sure but, you do realize GT3RS has a giant wing on the back

Doesnt really help with top end 😂

[wild raft]

I mean like, when in cornering it's slower because it adds EVEN MORE understeer

Like you dont understand how understeery that thing is

Lemme record something

[zenith cloud]

its not a meshslap, its just not too great

its like a semislap

too much effort for a meshslap but not enough for a repo mod

[fallow robin]

probably innacurate as hell it just looks good

sounds terrible tho

[fallow robin]

isnt the gt3rs like the slowest track porsche before the gt4?

[wild raft]

compared to the Turbo S

[candid ice]

I couldn´t resist to try the twixer 911 but quickly uninstalled again after seeing the see-through steering wheel, the inaccurate dashboard and that the ESC wasn´t doing anything. Good sound though.

[wild raft]

The sound isn't what I'd call good

[fallow robin]

i mean on a track it should demolish the turbo s

not in the quarter mile tho

[candid ice]

I think most of those real-car mods are just for the looks, not for driving

[wild raft]

Well, thing is, in this mod, the Turbo S is faster

The GT3 has even more understeer than it and thus turns even worse

[fallow robin]

aero and handling must be terribly done then😭

[wild raft]

It is indeed

Like said, I'll record it in a bit

[fallow robin]

yeah mod def needs a physics and handling revamp

i hate inaccurate mods

[wild raft]

I think the car makes like at least 90% of it's downforce on the back

I gotta take a look in the vehicle editor

Currently just finishing up an excel sheet to automatically update value ranges when I add something to it..

[fallow robin]

unfortunately i cant read but i wish there was a way to correctly calculate aero balance that way it would be easier to tune

[fallow robin]

that should be the case

mod doesnt even have working drs

and even old f1 mods from way back had that

[wild raft]

@fallow robin @proud bobcat

It's even worse with TCS

Like actually even worse

[fallow robin]

jesus christ its so imbalanced and it sounds horrible good lord

[wild raft]

The Turbo S legit simply handles better as it has less downforce

WAY more turn in

[fallow robin]

judging from this i can guess how bad the bugatti was

[wild raft]

That was actually oversteery as hell

Twixer's version supposedly still had a V10 sound and not really accurate stats

[wild raft]

The edited edited version I received that is

[wild raft]

As in "you WILL spin out when turning in at 200km/h no matter what"

[fallow robin]

jesus christ

average meshlap

now i kinda wanna revamp the porsche cuz it's annoying me how terrible it is

would it be possible to use the drs system from an old f1 mod and put into this one if lets say i wanted to revamp it?

[wild raft]

Turbo S at 320

[hollow citrus]

audi tt

[wild raft]

HOLY CRAP

GT3 RS at 310

mfw 29kg of LIFT on the front while 331kg downforce on the rear

[wild raft]

so 409kg total

This one makes uh
302kg with lift on the front

Wanna see me attempt to steer WITH TCS?

Like said, it's even worse somehow

[fallow robin]

yeah id like to see😭

wish people took physics and handling more into account

[zenith cloud]

911 remaster?
