992 is amazing
997.2 😩
(make after s7 or the motion sensors that guard your house will mysteriously trigger while you are sleeping)
There are no motion sensors
Man, that's horrible
996 solos
I know I ask everyone this but will there be a motorsports version of the S7?
an accurate one
Of course. Every model of the S7 will be included
As accurate as the data that is online allows me to make it at least-
thank you, I love Vintage racing
...Vintage?
Well what else can you call it really
20 years old isn't vintage?
classic racing?
That's also not classic racing
yes
You also gotta consider that the S7R ran up until 2010... And won races
Not a bad idea tbh
Here is a 1,46min on board lap at Daytona during the race 1 of the 2015 Daytona 24h Classic. Was a great event and the Saleen the very fastest of the GT cars.

Follow us on Instagram #iconicracingteam / Youtube and Art & Revs' website : http://www.artandrevs.com/news-list.php
assume he is shifting right after peak power
and look at what mile per hour he shifts at
I can't find any footage where the right hand isn't covering the right side of the tach though
you sadly can't see the speedometer
You could also use onboard footage to figure out handling characteristics and try and replicate lap times
It's good ref for the race gauges though, only had images of it off or from The crew before
Saleen S7 convertible wen :trol:
would've killed to have that
oh good luck lol
1st seems to go to ~110km/h
single cars are cool but I'd love for more than one car of the same class so you could do proper class racing and not have it be just one car
would make beam for more like an actual racing game
though this game would probably need an option to set up actual AI races first
oh I forgot, you have videos about that, so you can find it I think
Race Room Experience Saleen S7 GT1 Portimao Onboard
Or I can just use other games
maybe you have a mod of it in assetto corsa when you can make your test
my rs7 literally pulls 1g like that 😭
Well, duh
it certainly looks faster
i lapped spa in 2:52
https://streamable.com/lpjj5p with it
im not the best driver tho
the car understeer a lot no ?
yes
Finally someone agrees
it says 2 ton in the stats for the car when looking at the config but it weighs a lot less than what it says
oh I thought he was talking about the 992
this is my tweaked version lol
my version is accurate
it's an Audi they've understeered since they've been doing AWD
nice
because of DR2's damage model do you think the cars from it would be entirely modeled
like underneath the panels and stuff
the car I'd like the most in this game as a mod would be the Audi Sport Quattro
as it is my dream car
yo one of my mods were working fine but now spawning without a couple parts what could be causing this ?
like the hood and trunk missing
Any 4 door etk mods lol
Well the 800 is about to get a sedan bodystyle
Besides that theres waboll's W series
Does anyone here know how the site "boosty.to" works? It's telling me to pay for post access but i got no idea if it'll give me the download or not
Are there any good mods for any bmws?
mfw
hot
at this point I don't know if it's a joke or not
im saying it looks good
it's not mine
and yeah it looks good for blender
not for beam
whyd u send it here then if its not for beamng 😟
oh
I'm saying that the model is way to high poly for beam (it's the porsche of twixer)
oh
bruh
so tempted to buy kenemation's urus for $14 lol
just don't
no
if i had a job i would
dont ur better off spending ur money else where
but i play beamng like everyday
and i like the urus, if you name me a urus mod better ill get that then
but why would you buy for an almost 1 day meshslap?
have you used it?
no, but all kenemation mods are basically the same
even if its most propably an innacurate meshlap
until i get proof from a owner that the mod sucks ill leave it up to me to find out
he didn't even applied auto smooth to a $7 mod
how old is it
where did he uploaded the urus?
did u buyu it
no
i was about to say
it's from a video
well they arent TERRIBLE
they are
I dowloand it just to see the model
and it's trash 
y's that
Don’t buy irl mods for 14$, they’re all a scam
…or patreon access for 20/25$/month
Is there any good paid real car mod? Haven’t seen any.
nothing
biggest and famous shit paid mods creators, finally i review it
also my english is not very good, so there maybe grammar errors
songs :
-Blue Archive Theme 135
-Blue Archive Theme 26
-Blue Archive Theme 130
if this video doesnt stop you from buying kenemation mods idk what will
or just a modern i series
Not even surprised actually.
I don’t know about Iamthelaw‘s mods, they certainly have high quality gauges and some effort put into model and Jbeam
Can’t wait for RS mods to be finished.
What?
Audi RS6/7.
although expensive he does make some of the lost high quality real life mods
Yeah
I see he has free Cadillac ct-s and Audi RS-5 B9 on his gumroad, are they any good?
https://streamable.com/mk0pms any opinions?
(soz for the soft limiter, audi things)
rs5 is good
had it before
Sounds cool.
But that soft limiter is such a stupid thing.
Soft limiter lol but nice
Car looks and sounds good. How does it drive?
anyone know how to add mod parts to a mod
I’m so excited for subie’s cheerier flasher mods patient
suffer
it's realistic
It is, I’ve seen the same thing on RWD R8, but I just don’t understand the meaning of it.
yeah fr
tried making it as accurate as i can, uses an 8-spd auto with a torque converter instead of a dct, was also going to add nodeweight to make it heavier as it weighs way less than it is irl but i gave up as idrk how to tune suspension in jbeam files
basically most of the changes ive done is to the engine and trans
emissions regulations i think
So that when the car is redlining for any reason instead of going bap bap bap bap every .2 seconds it just goes brrrr as a flat sound when it hits it
etk 900 rally car. thoughts?
just like rally parts. such as suspension or shocks and wheels. it does not have to be a whole config
like this
has been a config for a few weeks lmao
lets gooooooooo
nothing new, its about as old as the first proper configs
i have a rally config for every car in the game lol
what type of rally config? a asphalt, dirt, or both?
Rally config of a luxury car 
Amateur
doesnt make sense to make proper rally configs for the thing, if you want a good rally car that doesnt weigh 1700kg, drive the vivace
believe it or not, the whole bulk of the weight itself is drivetrain iirc and some other pieces
does it meet regulations for a amateur rally car or is it free of it?
iirc it doesnt match with real world regulations because of weight but idk, plus with the fact literally nobody rallies luxury cars. They weigh too much for any kind of proper motorsport
same reason why no one rallies modern day Rolls Royces or S-Classes
nice repost
what does spamming images of a 911 get you anywhere?
first version of the rs7 sound https://streamable.com/71hi8c
It seems to have some unclean gain somewhere in the range
do you intend on communicating with me via text?
that's for some Gumball 500 thing, not proper-ish rally
you don't see Phantoms or whatever in WRC
i never said wrc
are you the only person working on the etk 900?
read the first page of the forum thread
@wild raft
you do realise its a luxury car? its gonna be bound to have a v12
can i put de funny turbo charger
lad have you read one word int he description of the mod?
oh nvm the thread doesnt mention turbo, but its a 2010s car
it's not an 90s Japanese car with crappy engines
...or one with an exorbitantly high price tag for a relatively low-end brand
unpopular opinion the stututu sound is annoying
how old are you?
stututu worse than hearing the local M135i
spooling at 800rpm 🤡
or matter of fact, have you ever seen the engine of a modern day car?
actually
i prefer the boosh sound
like in a pagani
no dumb loud stututu
it does sound better yeah
or in any modern day twin turbo car
true
yeah i agree its a good thing
thats why i said true
i prefer that sound over the conventional jdm thing
100k Nissan
also the new nissan z is incredibly ugly
i actually hate the way it looks
ill take an mk5 over it always
or an m340
the z isnt that bad imo
this is better than nissan z design
yea better post here @fallow robin
nice
@fallow robin
The car itself weighs 2,998 pounds (1,360 kg).
could get touched up a bit
yup nascar engine too
did you increase volume in audacity and not go over red limit in decibels?
can i hear hood view and interior ?
not done yet
its alot to do lol
just open all and ctrl+a in audacity and amplify together and multiple export
in audacity
it takes a minute to increase volume
but you must find the loudest one and find out how high you can go with that one then increase all other ones the same
make loudest go to red limit
see what that is and do same to all the others in one click
forza says top speed is 255 mph or 410 kmh
i wonder if they are just making it up
select all and go to amplify
ctrl+a
effect-amplify
select a number that makes loudest sample go to red limit decibels
file-export-export multiple
then folder should be same folder they came from
then just go back in game lol
it should be louder
as loud as you can go without damaging hearing
always backup first dude
or lower amplify if you want
going back and forth should not corrupt the sound files
lol i cant wait to hear this now lmfao
Imagine playing on geforcenow so you can't use any other mods besides repo mods :/
you also need to mess with engine and flywheel inertia
to make sound smoother if need be
LOL
or maybe its already good but check
lol it would go against beamng philosophy of open everything
only some sound files are locked
and ofcourse the game engines source code obviously
youll survive
@hollow citrus I CANT GET THE CROWN VICTORIA YOU DONT KNOW MY PAIN
if you're going crazy over a crown vic you're a lost cause 💀
:/
I own one
doesnt mean anything i cant download it, cloud gaming doesnt allow it, and if it did it would still be useless to reinstall the mod every time
i been trying to match it to real life
AW
aw?
thats cool, sad i cant eperience it
cloud gaming?
my school blocked geforcenow so i cant get games anymore
Simple, buy a personal computer and break your school computer on purpose
what?
I use geforcenow that is a cloud gaming service
it basically simulates an rtx 3080 good pc on a crappy laptop
I DONT HAVE BEAMNG INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER
not worth it
why not?
The computer im on cant run beamng, trust me i tried an i7 and a GTX isnt enough
@fallow robin let me know if you have issues
work harder and save up for a better one beamng is worth it trust me
I use a browser cloud gaming service to play beamng that basically acts like a good pc
a gtx is definitely enough, which card
and it runs the game great
save up for a better pc please
GTX 1660
and also get a wheel and shifter and 3 pedals you will not regret it
I already have that LOL
work harder and save up for it
cpu be holding that mf back
I have a wheel and shifters for my series x
(xbox)
I wish beamng was on that, but even then idk if the xbox would run it. I hate that beamng isnt a game that supports xbox, because there are already controls mapped (mostly) for controller
its never coming to console
ultimately beamng would be horrible for console
Yep
this wont be seen on anything other than windows based systems
exactly my point
steamdeck noob
lol imagine beamng with only gamepad controls and no mods
imagine not playing at all lol thats why i enjoy what i can get
yeah
nossta why dont you get better pc
what are u talking about
beamng is worth it
when did i say anything about not having beamng or a pc lol
i remember my old laptop got 30 fps on google chrome
oh i thought you said you cant play
no bruh
oh you were giving example is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
u dont need anything above 30fps for chrome
all ur doing is clicking things
you are sure you never went above redline in decibels in audacity?
loudest sample went to top and all others were raised in same amount?
also its come to my attention that there is another browser in this server.
it was already pretty close to redline and yeah everything was raised same
i think its a beam limitation
ok good yea its a bit louder its better redkni
this is goood!
yea maybe it is
surely not audacity
audacity is goat lol
beam probably has a sound cap
audacity is amazing
edge is like firefox or chrome, edge can use google
ironic...
but i got 30 fps on CHROME
YOU SAW NOTHIGN'
if beam has a sound cap thats annoying
chrome sucks
@hollow citrus your dead to me
:_
yeah thats what im thinking because its probably sound capped by beam
no damn way
it was bad
this is your old one it sound good
sounds clearer and better
yea maybe beam has sound cap making sound terrible if you go above it
yeah i forgot to change eq setting holdon
oh lol ok
here
ai torror said its perfectly possible to simulate cars like this
all the way up to GT4/GT3 cars he said
in terms of rigidy
GT3 cars its a maybe
yes
i mean its louder
is it better to you?
how does it sound on a speaker system lmfao
i dont dare try it
im using my headphones
yea ok can you accelerate and drive fast?
on 30 volume
i mean how can it get better
physics edits ofc
hahaha its nuts
good work on finding those fire sounds
maybe you can increase the volume on those too?
make them sound even snappier
limiter is at redline in audacity
ok good hehe
i like how it blends in with beamng afterfire too
and since its in the engine blend it gets mixed too and doesnt sound out of place
nice
the real car
hoonicorn v2 revving by ken block
@fallow robin
here is the 1400 hp real thing spitting flames
ofcourse more bass damn
i think make the engine inertia heavier on yours might make it sound even better
6.7 liter v8 lol
maybe ill try it
can you pick up speed and record again
onload sound
i dont know how to improve it more except maybe eq
or different rev exporting with more or fewer samples
it already uses about 30 samples
for detail
but its using same on and offload sounds
any irl rally car mods?
does anyone have a map that has long roads that arent to wavy but not to straight and they are also in the woods?
Ive been searching for a destructible street light for so long i cant find one even tho theres videos on some
East Coast USA. Anything that's in the woods would be built around the trees
It comes with the game, dosent it?
I swear ive used one
Hey @wild raft , I don't know if anyone's messaged you about it yet, but the Heavy Downforce Aeroskirt on the Twin Mill Hopper just falls off whenever I try to use it on the car.
That’s odd, will have a look at it

Did you edit something since last time?
completely new sound
not the same as last time
decided to redo it
ohhh
not huracan
no same sound
It sounds like you increased engine inertia or flywheel
i just added decel sounds
never attempted diesel before
Please try V8 diesel like a Ford or similar.
although beamng v8 diesel sounds are good.
I think it needs higher engine brake torque value like +10
Needs more violent engine braking.
Inertia seems alright i guess.
anyone starting making a mod for the lamborghini revuelto
mod for a car that just came out? don't think so
Bruv 💀
Simulators are nice arent they haha
you can start it if you want
Where they at?
Jeez, can’t wait for its release.
that audi looks awesome
This is gonna be nice
make it like $5 and they would be millionaires
because ik i would buy it at that price asap
Lol
buy the auditt by insanemods
Bet the people who helped him on this car will be pretty annoyed if he sells it not to mention companies who made the 3d and the sounds.
And beamng will get a cut if he used their assets? No?
anybody have an good bmw mod from their website
Well if he were to officially sale it ig so, but I don't think paid cars give a cut to beamng or any creators of assets they've used
they should since they are using beamng assets to gain a profit for themselves
and thats the problem you see
that is illegal
not to mention immoral and goes against what the sim is about
No its not because they allow it
Beam sort of allows it
lucasbe is scratch making his work so i guess that is different since an actual work effort goes into it but still goes against what beam is about but then again he is using beamng sounds
But when actual devs talked about paid mods in the past, they did indeed talk about a 70/30 split (70% of the money goes to the creator, 30% to beam)
Lemme see if I can find that thread
If they were to ever directly allow paid mods, yes
so they didnt even directly allow paid mods
This basically ^ AFAIK they have never taken action against paid mods, and they allow you to post them on the forums with a link to patreon or whatever. But I'm not sure if it's officially allowed no
show me this 30% quote but still ofc they want a cut
lol taking their assets and then leaving them empty handed even if they made the game in which the mod is being sold
https://www.beamng.com/threads/modders-we-need-to-talk.21455/
Paid mods - We think you deserve a reward of your work. We would favor a 70%/30% model where the mod author would earn 70% of the income for the items. Whats your standpoint about this?
(with some more discussion in replies)
holy this is a new thread?
i think beam sounds are allowed to use iirc as long as you're using it for BeamNG
no, very old, 2016
plus theyre encrypted iirc (password-locked zip file)
as much as i didn't want to reply to you directly, the amount of beam assets (models) in that are probably so minuscule that it's likely not worth it
im trying to see if this is legal or not since im sick of this whole paid mods debate
immoral imo thats for sure
didnt know altitude was that expensive tho
but seeing that they want 30% i get it
car jump arena's probably more expensive now lol
if 30% goes to beam then i am for it but still what about ea and turn 10 and game companies assets?
On the one hand 70/30 seems fair and if it means paid mods could be hosted directly on the forums/repo that would be great
But on the other hand, seeing as paid mods already get a lot of hate, I'm not sure if it would be a very good choice for beam to officially do stuff with them and support them
EA/T10 make even more money off their games than the models themselves
and majority of paid mods aren't licensed
idk about ea, but turn 10's assets are very likely outsourced to a degree
it isnt about that its about what is legal or illegal
when you talk about making profits we will get down to the details of it
most paid mods are illegal lol
mhm
if we are talking about the technicality
forza models aren't even rightfully theirs anyway regardless
When it comes to real cars, yes. But that is already being checked for repo mods anyway so shouldn't be an issue if paid mods were to be included with that
they laser scanned many of their cars using a whole team of professionals
no i mean the people porting them for beamng assets
you have to pay for brand name if youre model is scratch made
then theres paid models that are real world cars, but i think thats a different category
if the model is ripped thats a whole other problem
yeah but alot of paid models are licensed
that^
theyre all unlicensed in beamng, probably because NOBODY wants to pay Audi in royalties just to have one car in the game legally
even if the model is scratch made
i have an idea😂
likely comes down to if its for a hobby or commercially idk
that license is not easy to get i think
imagine reporting trashy paid mods to car brands so that the modders end up getting sent cease and desists
you are losing them profits
Ferrari would love that.
imma start doing that to trashy modderrs like kenemation
I mean even if beam were to officially support paid mods and check licenses, people could still just host them outside of beam via patreon or gumroad or whatever 🤷
does anyone know if my pessima bodykit is working properly?
i just saw a yt vid were parts are missing
worked fine last time i used it
yea i see alot of threats of sending mail to car companies about the mods being sold
and rightfully so imo
sending mail to t10, ea etc
ok, thx
gets the trash off the street
Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve
letting them know someone is turning a profit off of their work without returning it to them
and companies entire purpose exist to turn a profit so how happy you think they will be.
imho i doubt turn10 or ea really care about if some indie modder's making money off a model of theirs
To be fair thanks to the internet its kinda hard to take legal action againt modders that use illegal models
And this too
other communities do it too, its nothing new.
yea but ok so we are to buy mods from such scumbag who care not for any rules or regulations?
buy a lucasbe mod or another scratch made mod
no its crap imo
But you didnt like lore friendly cars in general right
idk, those, unlike forza/t10 models being repurposed as beamng mods don't have legal borderlines in terms of "yeah, this digital car is using Audi badges, and is being sold for a profit" from the car companies themselves
lol so you are just admitting you would run your business like this
who would want to do business with you lol
i don't have a business. there's the difference
nice deflection
why doesnt lucasbe apply for a job at beamng ?
long story short he cant because of previous actions
maybe real brand cars as "for fun" things, but selling em would be a issue, because i don't want to pay Audi any money (I Can't afford their royalties)
what actions were that?
not my business so im not going to go into them
beamng lore
if someone is really hard on money and is starving i can see why you would want to help them out but if they are healthy why not get a real world job at that point?
if sick i could understand it
but then let people know
yea well i just want it to be moral and right
and legal
and adding useful things not causing havok
i think there's a bunch of digital art jobs that are self-employed and require less schedule than actual businesses
so why you are not doing that
Because it still take time and effort, and I personally think it is worth it (Ofc this isnt the same for everyone)
i dunno man too vague information
maybe because i can't?
alright
also i dont even sell anything rn lol
the personal issues of everyone on this discord isnt my or other peoples personal issues
but they want to try make it so when talking about these paid mods
because you asked me "so why are you not doing that"
if someone is talented at for example making beamng look and behave and sound more realistic then they should get a job at beamng
at which point they would be earning a salary
then i think personally donations was and always will be the solution
Thats fair
i am not here to judge anyone or how their situation is
I like how inno did it for the vertex
but donations always have worked why suddenly changed?
making paid mods/digital art is probably easier than working a real world job
lets say you make a dev quality car and have donations button then im sure someone will donate well
but when i say dev car i mean realistic
sounding driving and looking and the whole package
but if its that good the dev team will ask you to join them
Nowhere near as much
I mean if selling the car makes you more money than just keeping it free and accepting donations, why wouldn't you sell it 🤷
donations
it tells the modder if he is doing a good job or if he is worthy of dev role
a full time position at the company
or part time whatever
not all modders are in it for the job
Yes it means less people can enjoy the mod, but if you put that much time and effort into something, I can understand why people would want to make more money with it
exactly because to many its a hobby and done out of enjoyment to make realistic cars and share it with others who will then share back to you something else its all just a hobby. This is how it was forever until you paid mod people came along.
thats still a hobby, no?
you dont get it we understood that money would taint it
we had our real world lifes and we didnt let the hobby mix in with that
thats what made it great
Rss w
ok if a modder records his own sounds, does his own 3d modeling and does all and every engineering calculations then at that point he is his own company lol
Theres definitely people making some money on the side with their hobbies lol, thats nothing new, and definitely not just a gaming thing
yes its called donations and pocket money to buy a coffee
people might want to make his mod paid because well, what if the software (Adobe as an example) happen to be really expensive, the living crisis? or some other thing
nikola tesla was ripped off by paid modders
"paid modders" lol
he did all the modding as a hobby
No, I mean there are people who for example make art as a hobby, and sell it to make some money on the side. How would that be any different from this?
also i'd like to remind you, no one is forcing you to pay for a mod
but it seems like you are forcing this paid modding into the beamng community
me?
some are
no one forced paid mods, no one forced you to buy any either
im not lucas how am i meant to know
1: I'm not Lucas
2: Ask Lucas directly then
3: Maybe because his mods use very little beamng assets?
but why did we pay for beam then
i mean he cant exactly buy that specific real car and record the sounds or hire a sound studio
you got a point there it is open to be used
To play the game!?
unlike propreitary Forza sounds where you're stealing em
you pay for a sim you get the rights to play and use assets for modding
its that simple
will be interesting to see if the rs7 will be paid
all these tools are sounds are openly provided by beam because they encourage the modding community
we will see how it evolves i am really curious
they said its free im pretty sure
well ok
cant remember
see what work?
paid mods
paywall paid mods
should be a hobby with donations and if they are good enough as modders then join the dev team
i truthfully dont care about paid mods aslong as they aren't garbage
help make the sim even better
if its adding something useful and doesnt use other companies assets
useful is key word here
cherrier picnic? useful? tell me how
may sound rude but im just trying to see.
its supposed to be a similar to peugeot ?
it may seem useful to kids who buy it and dont know any better and just use it to crash it?
or what am i not getting here?
people also buy it to drive it too
yes and thats why i asked what is it supposed to be and the answer i got was "it isnt suppoosed to be anything"
i always get that answer
see paid mods are a really tough call because if its just a flat fee patreon where you pay like 5 dollars to get all the cars i understand
as in its not meant to be based off one specific car
thats basically just supporting the modder
and thats fine
but im not paying 15 bucks individually for each car thats madness
monthly
see that rise with time
yeah a flat monthly fee
soon it will be 20 if everyone pays 15
thats what i mean
im not againsst people not being paid for their work or wanting everything for free i get how this world works otherwise i would enjoy simulations
i like how the world works thats why im a sim fan
tire friction, aerodynamics
horsepower blah blah
lucas doesn't charge for each car individually if im not wrong
lucas is a talented 3d modder so why did he not get accepted to dev team
maybe no positions available
or actions he said what actions were that
theres alot of factors cant just hire people willy nilly
and if it was bad actions why should we buy the scout
would not enjoy i meant
the reason i want to charge a monthly flat fee for my sound mods is to be able to use that money to buy professional recorded sound
basically in return i can make infinitely better sounds
because it's expensive
then you need to learn sound synth or rent cars and or buy equipment to record them
expensive
but where would i get the money to do that?
yea true but first prove yourself with free or donations mods i guess
especially rending cars and buying sound equipment
dont jump straight to a paywall that just makes people get defensive
of course not
in fact never jump straight to a paywall get on a payroll at a company or start your own companyu
im probably gonna do commission's first
if someone is really talented he either starts own company or proves himself first then gets acceptance from community and then can start charging if community first agrees
thats what alot of assetto modders do
tbh i wouldn't make my freemium mods paid, but i'd make an exclusively paid one if i did
commissions
i want people to get paid for their work im not a maniac
i wouldnt be enjoying beamng if beamng was doing it all for free
the sim probably would be crap or wouldnt exist
they have the talent to engineer and 3d thats what i mean
and they got acceptance from community then started a company
not other way around or whatever
make a paywall and shock people into buying
isnt that just donations?
i dont get why they are so against donations
lucas said donations dont work
no commissions is you get paid for a personalized project
like if someone wants w custom rb26 sound
i see
they pay me to do it for them
this is the risk with trying to make it in modding you must prove yourself first
lucasbe did a very good job but not good enough
am i cruel for saying that?
maybe the scout will impress the beam team
and he will get a job
but he insists on putting paywall first
all on his own
i mean he does make dev quality mods
yea so why isnt he beam dev
maybe he doesn't want to be a beam dev and likes being an independent modder
everyone has different motives
i will tell you this
if cherrier picnic was free i would not download it
scout im not sure about i need see gameplay video but still its just a van
same with signia and claria
if they were free i would not dl
whats the point of all of this? 💀
bean ng
money ruins any hobby imo
money and profit seeking
not saying money and profit seeking are wrong but when mixed with your hobby will ruin it imo
is there a mod that can permit a performance gain
not it does not, its an incentive to keep doing high quality stuff
you dont want to do your job 100% if you dont get paid for it, right?
although, yes. there is a line where one should consider getting payed for something and when doing something for free
i only agree to charging money for mods if everything is scratch made and high quality 🤷♂️
exactly.
otherwise it doesn't deserve to be paid for
i wouldnt want to spend a year doing something im really passionate about and not seek any way of actually getting something back in return
well, it doesnt even have to be a company tbf
marriage?
but eitherway, why would it matter?
you can release something and get donations or whatever without having a company
in the real world for you to get paid you have produce something useful or its a scam
there is no sugar coating it sry
and entertainment is not useful?
i mean useful can mean alot of things to different people
👆
define scam? so is a passionate mod project a scam in that sense?
it is very subjective
i mean would you liken cherrier picnic to a cigarette or beer?
both are entertaining to some not me actually
there are people that only like lore cars in beam. so someone like lucas who creates dev quality lore vehicles, his mods would be useful to said people
and its not like he charges some obsurd amount
but still beam is an odd place to do this and you are causing people to get really annoyed with this surprise paywalling
his picnic is just 3 dollars
in the end the daily paid mod discussion circles back to the same thing: some ppl like em, some ppl dont. its your money, do whatever you want with it. like you said, wether something is entertaining or not is different between people
if i find amusement and think its worth to support the picnic, yes. i would choose the cherrier picnic.
paywall is still you deciding what they will pay
donations is what the buyer sees fits depending how useful it is
in the end it is still something one has created and expecting money for, it is not wrong really
if it was a meshslap i would have understood
especially if that money can be invested to make even better work
yes
yeah
its ironic since you are arguing with realistic simulation fans using logic about paid mods
realistic simulation nothing but logic and its their hobby
and people are not allowed to spend money on their hobby?
beamng is a really odd place to do it imo
i havent been arguing? all im saying is that what youre saying is very subjective
its not the same for everyone
"imo". exactly :P
doesnt fit and also that surprise paywall just proves the point further how weird and out of place it is
and makes people uncomfortable
why would it make people uncomfortable to you?
if someone made a 1:1 recreation of this for 20 dollars would you buy it?
accurate to the last detail
if they had the talent to do that they would already have their own company
or on the beamng dev team
case closed
but not everyone wants to do that
why has everything got to be about starting your own company with you
some people just enjoy making beamng mods as a hobby, but want a small compensation for it as it costs a lot of time and effort
because they want to make it weird and uncomfortable with surprise paywalls
and deciding on their own their work is worthy of it
surprise?
i mean if a 1:1 recreation of a car accurate to the last detail was paid i would understand 🤷♂️
why arent they modding ac or nfs then
because thats alot of work
selling surprise paid mods over there?
why here bothering the engineering minded folks
because they like playing beamng? lol
if this statement is true, yes
if it sounds drives and looks perfect i would buy it
or at least very good
that guy would be with his own company and making it big
he wouldnt be doing surprise paywalls at that point
again with the companies lol
firm, company, business
and wdym surprise paywalls, most of the time you will know a mod is paid from the start (like the gavril scout)
the cherrier was a surprise
All in all, its subjective. it isnt always set in stone about logic and whatever else when it comes to anything as everyone will see it differently tbf, how many times have you not bought something that you really dont need but bought anyway because its fun and seems like a good purchase?
i agree
ac is a cesspool at this point thanks to paid mods imo
that car is so hot 😩 why did they make the hood carbon though?!?! whyyy
yea gt2 rs i love it
*unpainted carbon
cesspool because they are bad mods or because there are so many of them?
i can agree but thats how alot of modding scenes are in games
bad paid mods
in 1:1 detail?
beam not designed as a game but made into one by some younger people online and youtubers wanting to make profits from kids.
are you grasping what you are asking?
beam is definitely designed as a game
100% gt2 rs in beamng
i mean as close as it can get i meant
within beamng limits ofc
its physics engine is not meant to be a game per say more like engineering tool
beamng.tech and beamng.drive share same physics
do you know how much money people take for 1:1 accurate 3d models? theres a whole business in this already.
the little money people take for beamng mods
is nothing
the problem is the fixed amount
considering all the work you have to do besides the 3d model
and deciding on their own it is worth it
regardless what the outer community has to say
so i have a question. i downloaded a miata from a third party website, and everything is going good, the game registers that its a mod and all that, but it aint showing up anywhere other than in the where it shows the mods you have downloaded. what do i need to do to get it to work?
yes, but the then the physics engine is used in a literal game, with maps, and races, and time trials whatnot
and yeah .tech is basically the exact same thing with a few extra debug type of tools to show extra data
yes
Instructions on how to install mods can be found here: ```
<https://documentation.beamng.com/tutorials/mods/installing-mods/>
so not designed as a game at all
@warped atlas 👆
wonderful, thank you!
used in a literal game, with maps, and races, and time trials whatnot

The game is branded a game on steam, so what is your point? again, its subjective
its not wrong
but your opinion isnt wrong either
right, but it is marketed as a game, and most people seem to play it as... well, a game
modders who charge more than the game cost itself. you are a scam.
yes, i can abide to that
taking fivem models and charging people 😭
unless theres like so much content that fundamentally changes the game, then yes, that is a scam
even a dev told me beamng is similar to rfactor
Aries - cough cough
his hellcat is 20 usd and his model is from fivem and he didnt make the sounds or the model lmao
lmao
lol
the market is plagued by these kind of people and i see where people come from with the thoughts of all donation or paid mods being bad for the community
but one has to be able to see through all that tbf
kenemation mods aswell. fair enough he makes his mods but charges a whole mortgage
his mods are majority stolen assets
wouldnt be surprised
lol he doesn't make anything
leakers do the community justice 🤷🏻♂️
in some ways, yeah, scams like that just suck
unpopular opinion real life cars mods should not be sold unless handling power and physics are accurate
because atp if not they are just a model on wheels
the meshes are terrible
hmmm it still aint working,most likely not a good mod?
not a real life brand
drive crash respawn
story
🤷🏻♂️
basically lore friendly cars are cars that abide to the ingame brands and cars in beamng
fictional cars basically
the cherrier picnic is a fictional car under the beamng car brand "cherrier"
thats what lore friendly is
like the civetta mondello
under the civetta brand
yea ok so fake cars ok
yes
for example if you modded into rfactor some sci fi crap
and called it a game would it be a game
there is no word for game in the description
yet rfactor and beam have same realism
rf1 and beam do a dev told me
same realism in what sense?
i personally prefer lore friendly modded cars actually, simply because they fit in with the game better (since vanilla beam has no real brands)
just overall realism of driving
how convincing it is and how mathematically accurate it is
basically how it makes sense compared to the real world
he told me beam is on the same level as rf1 lol
and rfactor has no word for game in its description
it is a man in the loop simulator
SummaryrFactor is a realistic easily extendable racing simulation from Image Space Incorporated. It offers the latest in vehicle and race customization, great graphics, outstanding multiplayer, and the height of racing realism. rFactor features mixed class road racing with ultra realistic dynamics, an immersive sound environment and stunning gr...
$24.99
515
there are lore cars though
the games fall under the simulator category and they are both games where you drive cars. one just happens to focus more on one thing than the other
well, is it wrong?
i dont know what your point is tbh
game or not a game, both games have a huge fanbase?
ok so at this point anything goes then and its just rules of the jungle?
make anything have any purpose
well, im not sure what youre against, i know its paid mods yes, but what else?
a game is what anyone considers a game
i mean, it doesnt have to specifically say that is is a game, for people to see it as a game
you know what i mean?
you have a point there
i can make a game in freaking notepad with no real point, not say its a game but people who download it will see it as a game
whats going on
so you can turn a sim in to a game?
i guess rfactor is proof
yea ok do whatever you like with beamng
it is a game, isnt it?
smod's 233rd mention of rfactor
i could not care less but the paywall mods is what was the original topic
yes, but you decided to go into defining what a game is and isnt, lol.
i dont really know why youre so hung up on that lol
anything is a game if you want it to be a game i guess i got carried away by that
ok its a game yes
with realism of a full sim
which you can use to simulate real life cars in
as the devs said
i think i would
i thought about it and i think i would
this is why i try to do this myself but im not always successful and its tiring to get it right
paying would solve this
wonder if it would get out of hand though they would end up raising price lmfao i would have to go back to doing it myself
bmw themselves made a simulation of their own car m3 e92 back in 2008 sold it for pc
i would have bought i was just too new to this all
this audi rs7 if it turns out to be real nice hmm but still its using others assets thats an issue
if someone did rs7 totally on their own in almost 1:1
im not really rs7 fan but still would be interesting
IIRC the rs6/7 will be free, so at least theyre not making money using stolen models
yea ofc free
they cant sell
making it was probably enjoying to him
thats why he decided to begin
plenty of people still do 
i wonder if doing it completely on your own and it feels like a real car
what would such a mod be worth?
and then give 30% to beam devs
feels like a real car as is possible i meant
and in beamng that is damn close as said by beam dev themselves
that rs6/7 might become one the best when it comes to being close to irl, especially when it comes to all the electronics
lets say he did it on his own
