As accurate as the data that is online allows me to make it at least-

thank you, I love Vintage racing

wild raft
#

...Vintage?

wicked egret
#

Well what else can you call it really

wild raft
wicked egret
#

classic racing?

wild raft
#

That's also not classic racing

wicked egret
#

yeah cus 25 years

#

I guess old racing

wild raft
#

yes

wicked egret

for the gear setup you could use onboard footage

wild raft
#

You also gotta consider that the S7R ran up until 2010... And won races

wild raft
wicked egret
#

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

wild raft
#

you sadly can't see the speedometer

wicked egret
#

You could also use onboard footage to figure out handling characteristics and try and replicate lap times

wild raft
#

It's good ref for the race gauges though, only had images of it off or from The crew before

ashen flame

Not

also I guess i'll infer ratios via this

1st seems to go to ~110km/h

wicked egret
#

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

Or I can just use other games

my version is accurate

wicked egret
fallow robin

i redid everything to be accurate to real life

#

unlike the stock kenemation version

wicked egret
#

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 ?

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

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

ashen flame
#

has been a config for a few weeks lmao

latent ivy
#

lets gooooooooo

ashen flame
#

nothing new, its about as old as the first proper configs

latent ivy
#

i have a rally config for every car in the game lol

#

what type of rally config? a asphalt, dirt, or both?

mighty basin
#

Rally config of a luxury car ayo

latent ivy
ashen flame
#

believe it or not, the whole bulk of the weight itself is drivetrain iirc and some other pieces

latent ivy
#

does it meet regulations for a amateur rally car or is it free of it?

ashen flame
#

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?

fallow robin

children

#

i swear

ashen flame

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

fallow robin

unpopular opinion the stututu sound is annoying

ashen flame
fallow robin

i hate hearing it over long periods of time

thats why i hate forza turbos

did you increase volume in audacity and not go over red limit in decibels?

#

can i hear hood view and interior ?

fallow robin
#

not done yet

nimble valley
#

ok

#

also top speed

#

need to check the drag scale coef

fallow robin
#

its alot to do lol

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

how do i amplify together?

#

and multiple export

nimble valley
#

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

tawdry shoal
#

Imagine playing on geforcenow so you can't use any other mods besides repo mods :/

nimble valley
#

you also need to mess with engine and flywheel inertia

#

to make sound smoother if need be

tawdry shoal
#

LOL

nimble valley
#

or maybe its already good but check

nimble valley
#

only some sound files are locked

#

and ofcourse the game engines source code obviously

cloud gaming?

hollow citrus
#

my school blocked geforcenow so i cant get games anymore

tawdry shoal
#

Simple, buy a personal computer and break your school computer on purpose

tawdry shoal
#

I cant download it

#

it wont matter

nimble valley
#

what?

tawdry shoal
#

I use geforcenow that is a cloud gaming service

nimble valley
#

download this zip dont be silly now

#

and place it on your repo folder

tawdry shoal
#

it basically simulates an rtx 3080 good pc on a crappy laptop

#

I DONT HAVE BEAMNG INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER

nimble valley
#

why not?

tawdry shoal
#

The computer im on cant run beamng, trust me i tried an i7 and a GTX isnt enough

nimble valley
#

@fallow robin let me know if you have issues

#

work harder and save up for a better one beamng is worth it trust me

tawdry shoal
#

I use a browser cloud gaming service to play beamng that basically acts like a good pc

hollow citrus
tawdry shoal
#

and it runs the game great

nimble valley
#

save up for a better pc please

tawdry shoal
nimble valley
#

and also get a wheel and shifter and 3 pedals you will not regret it

tawdry shoal
#

I already have that LOL

nimble valley
#

work harder and save up for it

hollow citrus
tawdry shoal
#

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

nimble valley
#

its never coming to console

hollow citrus
#

ultimately beamng would be horrible for console

tawdry shoal
#

Yep

nimble valley
#

this wont be seen on anything other than windows based systems

tawdry shoal
#

exactly my point

nimble valley
#

lol imagine beamng with only gamepad controls and no mods

hollow citrus
#

imagine not playing at all lol thats why i enjoy what i can get

tawdry shoal
#

yeah

nimble valley
#

#

yea true ok sry

I remember the time i couldnt run csgo

nossta why dont you get better pc

all ur doing is clicking things

nimble valley
# fallow robin

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?

tawdry shoal

also its come to my attention that there is another browser in this server.

fallow robin

#

its war 😠

fallow robin

i think its a beam limitation

nimble valley
#

ok good yea its a bit louder its better redkni

#

this is goood!

#

yea maybe it is

#

surely not audacity

#

audacity is goat lol

fallow robin

beam probably has a sound cap

audacity is amazing

yea maybe beam has sound cap making sound terrible if you go above it

fallow robin

yeah i forgot to change eq setting holdon

nimble valley
#

oh lol ok

nimble valley
#

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

nimble valley
#

is this all after volume increase?

fallow robin
#

yes

nimble valley
#

i mean its louder

#

is it better to you?

#

how does it sound on a speaker system lmfao

#

i dont dare try it

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

yea ok can you accelerate and drive fast?

fallow robin
#

on 30 volume

nimble valley
#

with hood view on

#

and record

nimble valley
#

i mean how can it get better

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

limiter is at redline in audacity

nimble valley
#

ok good hehe

fallow robin
#

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

nimble valley

nice

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

nimble valley
#

onload sound

nimble valley
#

i dont know how to improve it more except maybe eq

#

or different rev exporting with more or fewer samples

fallow robin
#

it already uses about 30 samples

#

for detail

#

but its using same on and offload sounds

It sounds like you increased engine inertia or flywheel

i just added decel sounds

Diesel sounds?? Jk

fallow robin

never attempted diesel before

Basically diesel 2JZ.

nimble valley

Please try V8 diesel like a Ford or similar.

although beamng v8 diesel sounds are good.

nimble valley

I think it needs higher engine brake torque value like +10

Needs more violent engine braking.

Lol

hollow citrus
nimble valley
#

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?

olive kayak
#

anybody have an good bmw mod from their website

hollow citrus
nimble valley
#

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

zenith cloud
#

No its not because they allow it

nimble valley
#

ea allowed it?

#

turn 10 allowed it?

ocean mauve
#

Beam sort of allows it

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
# ocean mauve Beam sort of allows it

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

nimble valley
#

omg lol

#

30%? so they did say they want a cut

#

show me please

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

so they didnt even directly allow paid mods

ocean mauve
# ocean mauve Beam sort of allows it

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

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

holy this is a new thread?

ashen flame
#

i think beam sounds are allowed to use iirc as long as you're using it for BeamNG

ocean mauve
ashen flame
ashen flame
nimble valley
#

im trying to see if this is legal or not since im sick of this whole paid mods debate

#

immoral imo thats for sure

ashen flame
#

didnt know altitude was that expensive tho

nimble valley
#

but seeing that they want 30% i get it

ashen flame
#

car jump arena's probably more expensive now lol

nimble valley
#

if 30% goes to beam then i am for it but still what about ea and turn 10 and game companies assets?

fallow robin
#

i feel paid mods are only good when they are scratch made

#

with effort

ocean mauve
#

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

ashen flame
fallow robin
ashen flame
#

idk about ea, but turn 10's assets are very likely outsourced to a degree

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

mhm

fallow robin
#

if we are talking about the technicality

ashen flame
#

forza models aren't even rightfully theirs anyway regardless

ocean mauve
nimble valley
ashen flame
#

no i mean the people porting them for beamng assets

fallow robin
#

you have to pay for brand name if youre model is scratch made

ashen flame
#

then theres paid models that are real world cars, but i think thats a different category

fallow robin
#

if the model is ripped thats a whole other problem

fallow robin
ashen flame
#

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

nimble valley
#

yea but they have to

#

if they want to go forwards with it

fallow robin
#

i have an idea😂

ashen flame
#

likely comes down to if its for a hobby or commercially idk

nimble valley
#

still no because you want to earn money

#

companies exist to make money

ashen flame
fallow robin
#

imagine reporting trashy paid mods to car brands so that the modders end up getting sent cease and desists

nimble valley
#

you are losing them profits

fallow robin
#

imma start doing that to trashy modderrs like kenemation

ocean mauve
#

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 🤷

Gave +1 Reputation to @ocean mauve

nimble valley
#

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.

ashen flame
#

imho i doubt turn10 or ea really care about if some indie modder's making money off a model of theirs

ocean mauve
#

To be fair thanks to the internet its kinda hard to take legal action againt modders that use illegal models

ashen flame
#

other communities do it too, its nothing new.

nimble valley
#

yea but ok so we are to buy mods from such scumbag who care not for any rules or regulations?

ashen flame
#

buy a lucasbe mod or another scratch made mod

nimble valley
#

no its crap imo

ocean mauve
#

But you didnt like lore friendly cars in general right

ashen flame
nimble valley
#

lol so you are just admitting you would run your business like this

#

who would want to do business with you lol

ashen flame
#

i don't have a business. there's the difference

nimble valley
#

nice deflection

ashen flame
#

if i did, i wouldn't sell forza assets on my portfolio

#

because, they're not mine.

nimble valley
#

why doesnt lucasbe apply for a job at beamng ?

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)

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

ashen flame
#

digital art commissions:

#

those also make money too

nimble valley
#

yea well i just want it to be moral and right

#

and legal

#

and adding useful things not causing havok

ashen flame
#

i think there's a bunch of digital art jobs that are self-employed and require less schedule than actual businesses

nimble valley
#

so why you are not doing that

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

i dunno man too vague information

ashen flame
nimble valley
#

alright

ashen flame
#

also i dont even sell anything rn lol

nimble valley
#

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

ashen flame
#

because you asked me "so why are you not doing that"

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
#

Or they could make mods, and make money that way?

#

Its up to them really

nimble valley
#

then i think personally donations was and always will be the solution

ocean mauve
#

Thats fair

nimble valley
#

i am not here to judge anyone or how their situation is

ocean mauve
#

I like how inno did it for the vertex

nimble valley
#

but donations always have worked why suddenly changed?

ashen flame
#

making paid mods/digital art is probably easier than working a real world job

nimble valley
#

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

zenith cloud
#

Nowhere near as much

ocean mauve
#

I mean if selling the car makes you more money than just keeping it free and accepting donations, why wouldn't you sell it 🤷

nimble valley
#

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

ashen flame
#

not all modders are in it for the job

ocean mauve
nimble valley
# ashen flame not all modders are in it for the job

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.

ashen flame
#

thats still a hobby, no?

nimble valley
#

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

ashen flame
#

example, but different game and such

zenith cloud
#

Rss w

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

and buys all his own software also

#

but still he needs a simulation to use it on

nimble valley
ashen flame
#

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

nimble valley
#

nikola tesla was ripped off by paid modders

#

"paid modders" lol

#

he did all the modding as a hobby

ocean mauve
ashen flame
#

also i'd like to remind you, no one is forcing you to pay for a mod

nimble valley
#

but it seems like you are forcing this paid modding into the beamng community

ashen flame
#

me?

nimble valley
#

some are

ashen flame
#

no one forced paid mods, no one forced you to buy any either

nimble valley
#

has lucas shared 30% with beamng?

#

how much has he made now?

ashen flame
#

im not lucas how am i meant to know

nimble valley
#

why is this hidden

#

why arent we told that he did or did not share 30% with beamng

ashen flame
#

1: I'm not Lucas
2: Ask Lucas directly then
3: Maybe because his mods use very little beamng assets?

nimble valley
#

still using the sounds and is existing within the sim

#

using their platform

fallow robin
#

but its open to be used

#

thats the difference

nimble valley
#

but why did we pay for beam then

ashen flame
#

i mean he cant exactly buy that specific real car and record the sounds or hire a sound studio

nimble valley
#

you got a point there it is open to be used

zenith cloud
#

To play the game!?

ashen flame
#

unlike propreitary Forza sounds where you're stealing em

fallow robin
#

you pay for a sim you get the rights to play and use assets for modding

#

its that simple

nimble valley
#

will be interesting to see if the rs7 will be paid

fallow robin
#

all these tools are sounds are openly provided by beam because they encourage the modding community

nimble valley
#

we will see how it evolves i am really curious

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

well ok

fallow robin
#

cant remember

nimble valley
#

because i just dont see it work

#

in ac maybe yea but ac is different

fallow robin
#

see what work?

nimble valley
#

paid mods

#

paywall paid mods

#

should be a hobby with donations and if they are good enough as modders then join the dev team

fallow robin
#

i truthfully dont care about paid mods aslong as they aren't garbage

nimble valley
#

help make the sim even better

fallow robin
#

ive only ever paid for drowsysams patreon

#

his work is good this dyno is amazing

nimble valley
#

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 ?

ashen flame
#

it doesnt use Peugeot CAD assets

#

assuming we're still talking about assets

nimble valley
#

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?

ashen flame
nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

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

ashen flame
#

as in its not meant to be based off one specific car

fallow robin
#

thats basically just supporting the modder

#

and thats fine

#

but im not paying 15 bucks individually for each car thats madness

ashen flame
#

monthly

nimble valley
#

see that rise with time

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

soon it will be 20 if everyone pays 15

fallow robin
#

thats what i mean

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

lucas doesn't charge for each car individually if im not wrong

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

and if it was bad actions why should we buy the scout

fallow robin
#

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

nimble valley
#

then you need to learn sound synth or rent cars and or buy equipment to record them

ashen flame
#

expensive

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

yea true but first prove yourself with free or donations mods i guess

ashen flame
nimble valley
#

dont jump straight to a paywall that just makes people get defensive

fallow robin
#

of course not

nimble valley
#

in fact never jump straight to a paywall get on a payroll at a company or start your own companyu

fallow robin
#

im probably gonna do commission's first

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

thats what alot of assetto modders do

ashen flame
#

tbh i wouldn't make my freemium mods paid, but i'd make an exclusively paid one if i did

fallow robin
#

commissions

nimble valley
#

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

nimble valley
#

i dont get why they are so against donations

#

lucas said donations dont work

fallow robin
#

like if someone wants w custom rb26 sound

nimble valley
#

i see

fallow robin
#

they pay me to do it for them

nimble valley
#

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

fallow robin
#

i mean he does make dev quality mods

nimble valley
#

yea so why isnt he beam dev

fallow robin
#

maybe he doesn't want to be a beam dev and likes being an independent modder

#

everyone has different motives

nimble valley
#

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

vapid hollow
#

whats the point of all of this? 💀

nimble valley
#

wdym

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

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

finite rose
#

is there a mod that can permit a performance gain

candid glen
#

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

fallow robin
#

i only agree to charging money for mods if everything is scratch made and high quality 🤷‍♂️

candid glen
#

exactly.

fallow robin
#

otherwise it doesn't deserve to be paid for

candid glen
#

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

nimble valley
#

and you are doing it through your own company.

#

or on the payroll of a company

candid glen
#

well, it doesnt even have to be a company tbf

nimble valley
#

marriage?

candid glen
#

but eitherway, why would it matter?

nimble valley
#

define company

#

i mean define what you mean

candid glen
#

you can release something and get donations or whatever without having a company

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
#

and entertainment is not useful?

fallow robin
#

i mean useful can mean alot of things to different people

ocean mauve
#

👆

candid glen
#

it is very subjective

nimble valley
#

i mean would you liken cherrier picnic to a cigarette or beer?

#

both are entertaining to some not me actually

fallow robin
#

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

nimble valley
#

but still beam is an odd place to do this and you are causing people to get really annoyed with this surprise paywalling

fallow robin
#

his picnic is just 3 dollars

ocean mauve
candid glen
nimble valley
#

paywall is still you deciding what they will pay

#

donations is what the buyer sees fits depending how useful it is

candid glen
#

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

fallow robin
#

especially if that money can be invested to make even better work

candid glen
#

yes

fallow robin
nimble valley
#

its ironic since you are arguing with realistic simulation fans using logic about paid mods

#

realistic simulation nothing but logic and its their hobby

ocean mauve
#

and people are not allowed to spend money on their hobby?

nimble valley
#

beamng is a really odd place to do it imo

candid glen
#

its not the same for everyone

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

doesnt fit and also that surprise paywall just proves the point further how weird and out of place it is

#

and makes people uncomfortable

candid glen
fallow robin
#

if someone made a 1:1 recreation of this for 20 dollars would you buy it?

#

accurate to the last detail

nimble valley
#

if they had the talent to do that they would already have their own company

#

or on the beamng dev team

#

case closed

fallow robin
#

but not everyone wants to do that

ocean mauve
#

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

nimble valley
#

because they want to make it weird and uncomfortable with surprise paywalls

#

and deciding on their own their work is worthy of it

ocean mauve
#

surprise?

fallow robin
#

i mean if a 1:1 recreation of a car accurate to the last detail was paid i would understand 🤷‍♂️

nimble valley
fallow robin
#

because thats alot of work

nimble valley
#

selling surprise paid mods over there?

#

why here bothering the engineering minded folks

ocean mauve
zenith cloud
#

if it sounds drives and looks perfect i would buy it

zenith cloud
nimble valley
#

he wouldnt be doing surprise paywalls at that point

ocean mauve
#

again with the companies lol

nimble valley
#

firm, company, business

ocean mauve
#

and wdym surprise paywalls, most of the time you will know a mod is paid from the start (like the gavril scout)

nimble valley
#

the cherrier was a surprise

candid glen
#

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?

nimble valley
#

he changed it last minute

#

to paid

nimble valley
#

ac is a cesspool at this point thanks to paid mods imo

zenith cloud
nimble valley
#

yea gt2 rs i love it

candid glen
fallow robin
nimble valley
#

in 1:1 detail?

fallow robin
#

yes

#

if someone recreated it 1:1

#

for beam

nimble valley
candid glen
#

lol, the repo is full of great mods

#

that are free

nimble valley
ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

100% gt2 rs in beamng

#

i mean as close as it can get i meant

#

within beamng limits ofc

nimble valley
#

beamng.tech and beamng.drive share same physics

candid glen
#

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

nimble valley
#

the problem is the fixed amount

candid glen
#

considering all the work you have to do besides the 3d model

nimble valley
#

and deciding on their own it is worth it

#

regardless what the outer community has to say

warped atlas
#

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?

ocean mauve
olive hollyBOT

Instructions on how to install mods can be found here: ```
<https://documentation.beamng.com/tutorials/mods/installing-mods/>
nimble valley
#

so not designed as a game at all

warped atlas
#

wonderful, thank you!

ocean mauve
candid glen
#

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

ocean mauve
#

right, but it is marketed as a game, and most people seem to play it as... well, a game

prime veldt
#

modders who charge more than the game cost itself. you are a scam.

candid glen
#

yes, i can abide to that

prime veldt
#

taking fivem models and charging people 😭

candid glen
#

unless theres like so much content that fundamentally changes the game, then yes, that is a scam

nimble valley
prime veldt
#

Aries - cough cough

#

his hellcat is 20 usd and his model is from fivem and he didnt make the sounds or the model lmao

candid glen
#

lmao

nimble valley
#

lol

candid glen
#

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

prime veldt
#

kenemation mods aswell. fair enough he makes his mods but charges a whole mortgage

fallow robin
prime veldt
#

wouldnt be surprised

fallow robin
#

lol he doesn't make anything

prime veldt
#

leakers do the community justice 🤷🏻‍♂️

candid glen
#

in some ways, yeah, scams like that just suck

fallow robin
#

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

prime veldt
#

the meshes are terrible

nimble valley
#

what is the use in cherrier picnic?

#

just crashing?

#

i dont get this car

warped atlas
#

hmmm it still aint working,most likely not a good mod?

fallow robin
#

for people who enjoy lore friendly cars

#

thats the general purpose

nimble valley
#

what is lore friendly

#

what is lore

fallow robin
#

not a real life brand

prime veldt
#

drive crash respawn

fallow robin
prime veldt
#

🤷🏻‍♂️

nimble valley
#

story?

#

does beamng have a story mode?

fallow robin
#

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

nimble valley
#

yea ok so fake cars ok

fallow robin
#

yes

nimble valley
#

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

candid glen
#

same realism in what sense?

ocean mauve
#

i personally prefer lore friendly modded cars actually, simply because they fit in with the game better (since vanilla beam has no real brands)

nimble valley
#

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

there are lore cars though

candid glen
#

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

nimble valley
#

fake brands to get modders going and started

#

see how its done

candid glen
#

well, is it wrong?

#

i dont know what your point is tbh

#

game or not a game, both games have a huge fanbase?

nimble valley
#

ok so at this point anything goes then and its just rules of the jungle?

#

make anything have any purpose

candid glen
#

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?

nimble valley
#

you have a point there

candid glen
#

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

hollow citrus
#

whats going on

nimble valley
#

so you can turn a sim in to a game?

#

i guess rfactor is proof

#

yea ok do whatever you like with beamng

candid glen
#

it is a game, isnt it?

hollow citrus
#

smod's 233rd mention of rfactor

nimble valley
#

i could not care less but the paywall mods is what was the original topic

candid glen
#

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

nimble valley
#

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

nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
#

IIRC the rs6/7 will be free, so at least theyre not making money using stolen models

nimble valley
#

yea ofc free

#

they cant sell

#

making it was probably enjoying to him

#

thats why he decided to begin

ocean mauve
nimble valley
#

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

ocean mauve
#

that rs6/7 might become one the best when it comes to being close to irl, especially when it comes to all the electronics

nimble valley
#

lets say he did it on his own
