I don’t currently have a big amount of pictures. Heres one. All the wheels will be sizeable and each rim has atm up to 4 wheels to choose from and more to come @feral elk

[barren magnet]

might wanna revise the tire textures, otherwise they wont be able to go on the repo

[crimson river]

is it possible to have the repo mods elsewhere other than the appdata local folder?

it bloats my small boot drive

[sterile lynx]

The texture are better now. Just don’t have a pic of all the tires in game again yet

It’ll look more like this. But i won’t not put it on the repo sadly

[barren magnet]

you can move your user folder, the repo mods will move with it

[patent mist]

supercharger shit

[idle leaf]

think these would be cool to see in beam

[hollow citrus]

Anyone have any idea how to replace the turn signal sound on a mod?

[merry hemlock]

Hey, does anyone know if there's a cargo ramp mod for pickup beds ?

[rough iris]

Is there even any vehicle that fits in the bed?

[merry hemlock]

p/wigeon, the new kei trucks

i think they fit in the long bed configs

[rough iris]

Oh true

[opaque falcon]

Interesting

Feel there's a possibility to do this

[wanton plaza]

ive been useing modhost for downloading mods, i havent had an issue but the site is limited.. ive had a go on modland but every mod i choose seems to be blobked by my computer..anyone have any ideas of what im doing rong??

[elder python]

Gives off these vibes.

[barren magnet]

only get mods from the official forums or repo. third party sites and managers are rife with low effort, stolen, and potentially malicious mods

zero moderation, and there is nothing stopping someone from uploading an “installer” that puts a virus on your computer

[wanton plaza]

@barren magnet arhhhh right i see,very much appriciated been scratching my head for days, i have a few mods to play with for now.. where will i find the forums for the mods

#mods-discussion message

[gaunt trout]

Just wondering, is there a rotary swap mod for the 200BX?

[tacit quiver]

is there a work around for the mirror issue for the d series?

yes i have mods installed but the new update for beam ruined most of them and my camera is messed up, all of my mods are either made by friends or paid mods and they have worked before the update

i dont get my mods from modhub or any other virus activity areas

[fleet pelican]

Has anyone thought of making a tiller truck for in game at all or at least the trailer part

[hearty obsidian]

take the windshield out that might help or wait for an update

[outer solstice]

or change the path for the main vehicle controller in the mod files

[tacit quiver]

Wait wait wait ima try both those

[tacit quiver]

Where’s that at, ima try the windshield first

[tacit quiver]

What’s changing the windshield gonna do

[hearty obsidian]

idk but its a fix for dfa and other mods

[tacit quiver]

Yeah that’s why I was asking

It might work if it does ima scream

[flat raptor]

anyone know what this mod is? I saw it in a video

[celest sundial]

the vehicle is in the base game

assuming you mean the one in focus

[stoic moon]

so my beam updated

and mot my car mods are gone :/

any1 know how to get them back???

[latent flame]

lads, anyone know a good body kit mod for the 200bx

[flat raptor]

Oh shit fr?

I must be stupid

[celest sundial]

yeah it's the wagon version of the bruckell legran

the paint is either old paint or one of the derby ones

[stone gyro]

barebones front bodywork, i gotta figure out some shading issues (and reshape the lights) but its a proof of concept, gotta learn jbeam now

[barren magnet]

do i hear an echo in here

[scenic jay]

does anyone by chance know of a mod that changes the 2-step from gas & brake to just a button?

[ocean mauve]

when i paint the terrain with dirt, its just the texture not really the color changing, any way to help?

[lone meadow]

Does anyone know how to convert cars to BeamNG

[drowsy leaf]

What are those injectors ?????

Why are there coil packs on top of them

[split vale]

I based them off of my irl COP ignition boots, They look like that on my irl 4.6L

[drowsy leaf]

It's not as simple as converting. There's a LOT to it
you cant even call it converting

[split vale]

Looks pretty realistic no need to change them lichi I promise lol 🫶

[drowsy leaf]

But why are they there?

Isn't that where the injectors would go

Nvm I saw the injectors
They small af

[split vale]

I shall fix those 🙂

I am glad you are interested in what I do though, Wouldn't be doing all this without your help and knowledge lichi 🫶

[drowsy leaf]

No worries

[stoic moon]

[jade hemlock]

Ive got question, so something broke my water texture since it keeps on glitching out etc is there anyway i could figure out what it was or do i need to reinstall everything again

and by any chance did i use wrong channel

[covert totem]

anyone got a clue why my dirt isnt dirt colored?

also, why is the end of my path like this?

[abstract root]

you need to edit basecolorbasetex

[covert totem]

and where would that be sorry

[abstract root]

eastcoast>art>terrains>t_terrain_base_b

[covert totem]

oh in the files?

okay

i have to edit a png file? wtf

i didnt have to do this for the asphalt though...

[spark iron]

anyone know how to gain access to show the mods i make off?

[covert totem]

@abstract root this?

[abstract root]

yup

Or make a file of size 2048x2048 and paint it all in the gray color you want the asphalt in, and replace it in the terrain material liblary

[crimson sierra]

Do you guys know of a mod that extends the cab and bed of the d series?

[covert totem]

no i mean i didnt have to do this stupid step for painting asphalt

but for dirt i do?

[abstract root]

you probably have to do

[covert totem]

kind of frustrating ngl. seems like it takes away the whole point of a terrain PAINTER if the painting doesnt work

[abstract root]

if you do this, then everything will work without a problem

[covert totem]

hm okay ill try

just create a image and paint it brown? for dirt? im new to this

[abstract root]

yes

[covert totem]

okay

[crimson sierra]

Do you know of a mod that extends the cab and bed of the d series?

[abstract root]

no

[past oasis]

chat where can i go to find someone to make me a mod and how much would it cost?

[latent ivy]

WIP xD

[celest sundial]

I've never seen no texture squares like that

[celest sundial]

Is that by chance a kenworth w900L?

[latent ivy]

whooo is MAT

[stark grove]

his name is matthew and he's decided to say hi through the medium of your declasse sabre turbo

[latent ivy]

are you happy now?

[stark grove]

poor matthew

you killed him

[covert totem]

any specific shade of brown?

[covert totem]

@abstract root

[latent ivy]

yeess yeeess im getting somewhere

[covert totem]

[fair vine]

[fair vine]

Oh yeah boys we goin back to LegoLand with this one! (jk lol gotta love a brick as a utility bed)

[languid timber]

Well, if I'ma keep it a buck, 6/10

[cold pewter]

made my irl car in beam woohoo

[covert totem]

is this automation?

[cold pewter]

nope

[covert totem]

oh jeez thats really nice

[abstract root]

no

[solemn ice]

HMMMMM

textures are definetly there..

fixd.

[crimson sierra]

Do you know of a mod that extends the cab and bed of the d series?

[hard kraken]

yeah add me when you get time ill fly it over

[solid current]

anyone know of any rear mount radiators for d-series? pref not locked to a single rad support but I can work around that

something like this, or even farther back in the bed if it's all I can find

[proven shore]

Why

I tried to make one myself

[latent ivy]

Are you gonna make it so we can download it?

[solid current]

may be a mod interfering with other textures

[proven shore]

My colleague doesn't work either

[solid current]

try to deactivate anything you've recently added and give it a restart/cache clear til you narrow down what's causing it

[proven shore]

I made skin myself

[solid current]

ooo uhhh

looks like it's failing to load the actual image file of the skin

make sure it's a suitable filetype and saved correctly

[proven shore]

Kumbel also made his own and it doesn't have a texture

[proven shore]

Jo why

[proven shore]

Yes

[solid current]

you could read the code off of a preexisting mod that you know works and use that as a guide to make sure you're doing things correctly

[proven shore]

all rubbish

[solid current]

I've never made my own skin though tbh so I may not have a complete understanding of what may go wrong

[proven shore]

Okay

[solid current]

I'd try to replace the texture image of a mod that works with the one you want to use

so you know the framework around it is verified working, so you can isolate if the problem is with your texture or the code for it

save a backup of the original of course, so you can unbreak anything that may go wrong

[high thistle]

Alright, spacers, anyone know of a mod for wheel spacers that still functions. Cause the built in track offset is never enough for nice wide body fitment

[solid current]

I'm running the IYB spacers on a d-series build rn

[high thistle]

Do they work for all cars or just the D series

Cause I came across a d series specific mod

I want em on a BX

[solid current]

I'm pretty sure solely d-series

[high thistle]

🥲

[solid current]

spaced out is broken and that was what I always used

[high thistle]

Ya same

[solid current]

lemme see what I've got that might help

[high thistle]

Appreciated 🙏

[solid current]

are you just using vanilla parts or modded suspension?

I don't see anything after a quick check, but I do know how to edit jbeam and allow the slider to go as far as I want

[high thistle]

Mostly vanilla suspension parts

Sometimes I'll use molded drift suspension. But for the most part vanilla

I wanna learn to edit jbeam, I can code in like, 5 different languages, still seems hard tho😂😂

[solid current]

I'm about to message you then

it's honestly as straightforward as can be

[high thistle]

👍

[cold pewter]

Sadly no

[latent ivy]

I mean, there was a Land Cruiser of that generation in the works, but nothing came out of it.
But it's your mod, and I respect it.

[latent ivy]

alright.

[cold pewter]

A j90 prado?

[latent ivy]

Yeah, IIRC.

[cold pewter]

Ah

This mod might get a proper remake, fully scratch made interior, frame, etc but im not sure

[fair vine]

Hi! can someone make a Rigs of Rods car pack. i think people would love it and is well over do to remaster the old Gavril Bandit mod! By the why thank u modders for your hard work. pls reply if Your up to the challenge!

👍

[barren magnet]

the reason there hasnt been one is because gabe doesnt want his works made for beam. only the bandit was given permission to be updated for beam

so in short, no

[past oasis]

where can i make mod requests?

[barren magnet]

anywhere but people really dont take requests in the beam modding community

nor do people do commission work

[fair vine]

ok well that macks seans. man i wish i cauld drive the gavil omega🥺

[past oasis]

so basically no chance i can get someone to make a simple mod for money..

[barren magnet]

what is it

“simple” in beam terms can mean a lot of different things to different people

[solid current]

highly dependant on what you mean by "simple" and "money"

things can get real complex real quick, so it may not be as simple as it seems. but if you throw enough cash at the right person they'll totally do commissions

[tired coyote]

A few people do commissions, just depends on what you want

You'll never get a full, properly done car for 50€

It can get expensive very quick

[solid current]

def not, a car can have 20-30hrs involved easy

[cold pewter]

fully scratch made cars can even bring you up in the thousands lol

[tired coyote]

30hrs? Wayyy longer

Most cars take multiple months

[solid current]

fair enough, I kinda lowballed the hell out of that

[cold pewter]

also zeit, do you do commissions? lua wise and stuff

[solid current]

I guess I had a model rip in my mind instead of a true ground up modeling

[tired coyote]

Yeah

Usually whenever someone asks it's for car screens

[past oasis]

i want a wheel mod that lets me use a specific wheel for most cars
i think wheels are simple atleast i hope and the mod should be simple too

[tired coyote]

Wheels are pretty simple yeah

If you're skilled modelling takes at most 2 hours for the average wheel

[solid current]

it could be easy if there's already a model to import, and the compatability across cars wouldnt be too hard

[past oasis]

how much would it cost

[cold pewter]

ah i was wondering lol just to see if it would be possible to make these two little screens work :D

makin some van and idk, seems like it would add more functionality in it lol

but if you're up for it let me know

[tired coyote]

You could contact a few of the reputable vehicle modders

[past oasis]

yeah see thats the thing its an obscure wheel that quite literally no one cares about, and there is some 3d models
you can pay for but they are for 3d printing for hotwheels and idk if u could import it XD

[barren magnet]

wheels are one of the few things that are pretty easy to make and get in game

[tired coyote]

Yeah sure

[barren magnet]

what wheel is it

[tired coyote]

DM me

[solid current]

I'd start by asking around in a couple creators channels

[barren magnet]

dont do that

[solid current]

I can link you to a couple if you need

[past oasis]

mecredes alphard

[solid current]

whaa, why not?

[barren magnet]

or are you meaning their discord servers

[solid current]

yeah discord

[barren magnet]

okay i thought you were meaning threads

unsolicited requests in threads gets you dismissed instantly

[solid current]

ohhh nah discord would be much quicker and to the point

[barren magnet]

they would be a little complex to make look natural but not impossible

[past oasis]

yeah, i thought so

no one has wanted to do it, havent even gotten a price from someone

[tired coyote]

Who'd you ask?

[past oasis]

some random modders and went into a few servers asking around

i did also make a post on forums but someone said forums are dead and no one will make it
essentially*

[solid current]

I sent you two links to servers I think would be a good place to ask

[proven shore]

Where can I find the skin template for the container?

[zinc garden]

any good silverado mods?

[analog oracle]

anybody know a few mods for destrucable props and buildings?

[woven crown]

i know good charger mods, not silverado ones sorry

[zinc garden]

I'm rlly looking for any in general, where are they at??

[woven crown]

search bullitt in the mod forums for beamng

one im using is the bullitt charger, its gorgeously modelled and very detailed

picture of it in the garage

Hello. Opee is new here. Would like suggestions on where to mount large caliber machine on top of car.
I am not needing assistance
Want suggestions on where on car to put it

It is not for anything dangerous that would make opee get banned.

Just for clarifying

It is for spreading happiness in the form of large density explosions

[latent ivy]

possibly the mirrors of the vehicle

[woven crown]

passenger side of the car, kind of mad max style?

[hot tundra]

Oh I am liking this reply

[lethal swift]

Depends on what kind of vehicle it is

[frigid palm]

Anyone else know of a mod that makes it so your cameras always have a phantom movement input?

Trying to figure out what’s causing it without wasting 4 hours deactivating and reactivating mods

[frigid palm]

Fixed it. Anyone know of any good skyline r34 mods?

[stone gyro]

that is a crazy sentence to read out of context

[cyan drum]

it says skyline

[cyan drum]

nope

[radiant olive]

None really, I've had over 930 repo mods including a skyline. It's basically a meshslap. The modland mods are rubbish and gave me a virus and had to reinstall

[mental steppe]

whats ur guys fav beamng map mod?

[radiant olive]

Italy for scenery westcoast for chases 👍

[keen frost]

What kind of virus? How is a mod even capable of infecting you with a virus?

[mental steppe]

this any good?

[radiant olive]

Cutting my FPS by 30 and randomly crashing my game. I remove all mods but that one still did it. So I reinstalled the game but kept the mods folder. Still did it. So I reinstalled again but deleted the Tesla mod and vehicle file and it worked.

[keen frost]

So it's more like the mod made the game unstable, not exactly a "virus" I guess 😁

[radiant olive]

I guess lol

[radiant olive]

Check dms? I can't msg or friend req

[cold pewter]

pradoooo

[radiant olive]

How's the skyline going?

[covert totem]

why do you keep asking bruh, just crash it and see smh

[cold pewter]

Haven’t been working on literally anything rn 😭🙏

[humble kindle]

Looks good meowbah

[green glacier]

If it wasnt spawned in it was probably a real virus and was crypto mining on their pc, hence the framerate loss

[polar cedar]

small side project since the dynamo is basically done and will be out very soon

[drowsy leaf]

huh im interested on how that works
can you send the file

[drowsy leaf]

hirochi rushn't

it reminds me a lot of ford utes

[bronze shard]

reminds me more of the commodore utes. fixed headlight bx ute looks a vaguely like an xh falcon though, might have to make some xr styled headlights for the bx now myself

[latent ivy]

Looks cool.

[spark carbon]

Is it completed?

[drowsy leaf]

its "basically done" as he said

[rigid hare]

If that car existed irl, I'd buy it

[rough iris]

OMG, this is amazing! Pop up headlights on a ute is something I never saw comming! Also with the camper shell it gives off fastback vibes. The roof rails on the bed are also cool!

[peak cipher]

Hi,
I have a small question. I want to edit a sound from a mod I got and if I change the sound file with the exact same file format the mod does not appear after changing in game. Can someone help me?

I'm transferring models to another game, I want to do it as accurately as possible and not build the wheels myself

[drowsy leaf]

oh yeah

it will probably will just be part of the next kljp update

[grave lake]

Wish me luck guys, I have never made a car in blender let alone did any modding

[barren magnet]

if youve never done anything in beam i highly highly recommend not doing a full car

start small with parts

[grave lake]

I realised going for something big was a bad idea hahaha

[celest sundial]

wtf is that bed in the base mod?

[idle leaf]

its a separate file, on the mod page

[sturdy plover]

hey, im having trouble loading mods, i installed ECA rally and each time i load the scenario, i spawn with no car and an error

i alr tried installing via beamng and via the website->folder, each time same error

im also on the latest version 0.32

[idle leaf]

i think that mod is from like 2016

[sturdy plover]

ah shit, do u know any good rally mods that work with the new version?

[idle leaf]

Id recommend a couple maps PJS drift&rally, gravel rally are fun and i think both have trials

[vestal heart]

Are there any modded maps that have like spots to practice parallel parking (for my sister plus i have a vr headset)

[ocean mauve]

The vanilla west coast has a bunch of spots in the city with parallel parking spots, just spawn in a few extra cars to park inbetween and youre good

[vestal heart]

is there an easy way put them at a regular distance apart and have them be straight (you can load scenarios as well right so i dont have to repeat it?)

[celest sundial]

you can use the map editor

[vestal heart]

Are there tutorials for it or is it simple?

[celest sundial]

using it just to move cars is easy, press f11 then just select the vehicle and it'll give you a gizmo thing to move it

[vestal heart]

ty

[pallid lynx]

will this be on your patreon before it releases?

[polar cedar]

maybe

i dont know if it will be worth it because i kinda want to smash it out really quickly and not worry about early access

[rough iris]

just a head's up, my mod will recieve an update within the next days, mainly featuring 6x6 parts for the D-series!

(it's this mod, if you don't know what I am talking about or who I even am) https://www.beamng.com/resources/gamer-s-ultimate-pickup-parts.29272/

[nimble zealot]

can I use a mod from 0.31 on 0.32, theres few 0.32 mods

[celest sundial]

as long as it isn't like for/dependant on the 200BX or D series you should be able to

[nimble zealot]

thanks, do you guys tryst external downloads from modland? Im only using direct right now

[celest sundial]

I've never had an issue with them but I've only ever downloaded like 3 mods from there, and it's not recommended

[nimble zealot]

which company do you recomened for mods outside of beamNG repo

[celest sundial]

I think the repo/forum is really the only like officially recommended source

[cyan drum]

no, don't use modland or similar 3rd party sites

[nimble zealot]

so only use the repo? or links off the formum

[cyan drum]

yeah

[nimble zealot]

is it like viruses or screwing up your game

[cyan drum]

and reputable paid mods, though idk if you'll use paid mods so whatever

[cyan drum]

shit, leaked and stolen mods go there

it's not even worth going to modland, as I said, most mods are mediocre at best anyways

[nimble zealot]

only mod I have now is the crown vic from the discord server

the rest are from the repo but IM looking for other mods because the repo is getting boring

[cyan drum]

look on forums then

[nimble zealot]

for what?

probally, there are plenty in the server

[cyan drum]

I'm modding rn

[rigid canyon]

I'm new to PC and beamng and I want to install some cool mods like trucks and drag cars how do I do it like I need a well through

[radiant olive]

Repo

It's ingame menu

[celest sundial]

there's not many normal pickup truck mods, unfortunately just addons for the base game D-series and some kei trucks

the classic engine expansion pack is really good for making drag cars

[vague laurel]

is modland safe

[latent ivy]

i wouldnt say safe but its not too bad, not too good, some of the mods there have viruses and some dont. but i recommend searching for the best Beamng mods on Youtube and you’ll get the safe ones, could be from modland or another website but the ones in the vids are verified for the most part. @vague laurel

[grave lake]

What would you recommend the max Poly/Vert count be?

[radiant olive]

Italy map is 30 million iirc so probably over 30 million if we are talking maps

But iirc it took like 30 min to load for someone on blender

[fathom thorn]

It’s not perfectly safe
Most mods there are trash and not worth downloading anyways

[waxen lichen]

As a modland verified creator i can assure you that this is 100% factually true

[polar cedar]

modland has awful moderation so its not safe, people can pretty much upload what they want without any proper approval or checks done first

this leads to leaked mods, viruses, ip grabbers, stuff like that

and when you dm the admins to get stuff taken down it can take quite a while, even when its a DMCA complaint

the safest place to get mods is the official repo, second is the official forums

[rotund swallow]

Are any virus checks done on the forums?

[covert totem]

im pretty sure mods check them

[rotund swallow]

I figured.

[restive wraith]

They check every file

[drowsy leaf]

And if it slips thru, moderation is pretty fast so no problem

[grave lake]

Any advice for someone who want's to get into 3D Modeling and Modding?

[latent ivy]

Hello I would like to know who is the modder of euro trailer because I wonder if it will have an update to go with the new t-series and other truck mods.

[eager schooner]

idk where to ask this but does anyone know if theres a wheel ballast mod for the d-series?

[dense tangle]

dont start off makign a vehicle

[rain ravine]

Heya, is there a map that drives on the left so i can use like the hirochi aero

[dreamy arrow]

So ik im kinda late lol but modland is mixed when jt comes to beam mods

You can find mods with viruses or mods that were leaked or stolen, but you can also find some good ones. But just like Herprince said, do some research before downloading anything from there

I dare someone to do a vehicle with fully interractive interior (even the AC)

[junior pasture]

all the buttons imma press everything

[fathom thorn]

The ccf is the closest we have to that

[grave lake]

What would it take for a rework off this

[proven shore]

I need quick help on how can I make a skin mod so that I just drag it into the mod folder

[drowsy leaf]

but why

like why add interactable ac
if ac doesnt server any purpose

[split vale]

ball chiller rn

[drowsy leaf]

why clamp on hot exhaust

it gona melt

[split vale]

Oh shoot is that the intake clamp? It looked like a vband to me lol

[drowsy leaf]

its a clamp thats for very high pressure tubes

it would just die in hot

the vband is the thing right at the end of the turbo

this ring

[split vale]

Ah, that makes more sense, Ill do that instead

[drowsy leaf]

thats what ive seen used

[split vale]

kinda looks the same imo what do yo think?

how hard is it to get into modeling cars from scratch

[shell crater]

I wonder how I could give the race sequential transmissions I'm making for my gearbox pack (The Zelda Race Gearbox Pack, or ZRGP) RPM wobbles like the Scintilla GT3 mod has 🤔 The wobbles are quite noticeable on the Scintilla GT3, and I like that. It's quite realistic. It seems to use a pneumatic system coded in LUA on top of the regular transmission code though...

[knotty shell]

just do it 👍

[vivid pine]

anyone know any toyota coasters

[knotty shell]

no

[vivid pine]

can you make one

[knotty shell]

idk how to mod

[vivid pine]

my god bro

[knotty shell]

or how to use blender

[vivid pine]

im so desprate

[knotty shell]

no diddy?

[shell crater]

How?

[knotty shell]

idk

[shell crater]

I know the jbeam, just not the Lua for the air system that powers the sequential shifts

[split vale]

Modeling an entire car from scratch would be extremely difficult for someone with no experience in modeling, But I also dont want to discourage anyone from attempting to mod though 🤷‍♂️ start small 👍

[latent ivy]

true

how could I start off small?

[split vale]

I would suggest starting with modeling exhausts and intakes as its the easiest to do (In my opinion of course)

[latent ivy]

is it okay to use existing cars in the game

[split vale]

Of course you can make alot of stuff using in-game cars/parts

[mild hedge]

Links to best mods for real vehicles?

[ocean mauve]

• The in-game repository
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.
If you're looking for a specific map, I'd recommend googling site:beamng.com and then whatever map you're looking for.
For example, searching site:beamng.com racetrack will show all results for 'racetrack' from the official site.

[fathom thorn]

For real cars I’d look at the beamng forums

There are some “real” cars on the repo, but they have lore badging

Stuff like the fso Polonez, anything under the arima brand, hirochi mistral, and the Ibishu crossport

[proven rapids]

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask this, but is there a way to commission someone to mod something specific?

[river fjord]

I tried to download this 2002 Camry mod and the game says the file is invalid

how do I get this mod to work?

I think I had an older version that might be why

[river fjord]

Does any one have a link for a XV20 Camery mod that isnt borked?

[barren magnet]

doesnt exist

that one you posted is just a shitty meshslap over a pessima anyway

[river fjord]

So there is no updated version Im missing?

[barren magnet]

where did you find that mod?

because chances are it's outdated

[river fjord]

from the ZOMVL server

they had a link for it

[barren magnet]

then probably not

i would not recommend getting random mods from discord servers btw

[river fjord]

this one has its hubcaps borked

[river fjord]

I found it on Modland to

[barren magnet]

yeah that's also not a good place to get mods

[river fjord]

both versions were borked and gave me error messaged

and there unfortunately is no CX5 2013 mod

[river fjord]

ok then where do you get mods from?

[barren magnet]

the repo, forums, and reputable paid mod creators here

[river fjord]

So relying on free mods isnt good enough?

[barren magnet]

it is

but dont get them from places like modland, random discords, worldofmods

because 9/10 they're leaked/stolen, shitty meshslaps, or something that you can get safely on the repo and forums

[barren magnet]

.

[split vale]

Thoughts on this single turbo setup I made?

[errant fulcrum]

very cool

[cursive peak]

does anyone have a link to a 2001 ford f250 mod?

[rich lake]

anyone have a reccomendation for a good g37/g35/q50 mod, not tryna get a virus but figured id ask

[cyan drum]

none

[median flame]

why do you need it so badly?

[frank cove]

What would be a good name for a lore freindly Lancia? My first thought was to combine Autobello and Civetta for Autovetta or Cibello but I think that is too basic.

I would love to hear what y'all think on the matter and any suggestions you may have

[median flame]

the bolide💀

[frank cove]

What do you mean by that?

[median flame]

the bolide looks very close to the lancia

[frank cove]

The Bolide is largely a Ferrari and Maserati. Though the rally version especially does have a hint of Lancia 037

[barren magnet]

spada

[median flame]

yes

[barren magnet]

lancia is spear

spada is sword

[median flame]

ik one

ford f150

[barren magnet]

ascia is axe

coltello/knife

[frank cove]

I don't hate Spada

Makes me think of the Lamborghini Espada though lol

[barren magnet]

yeah

luccio? for pike

nvm wrong type of pike

thats the fish 💀

[median flame]

ik one! Dodge charger

honestly spada sounds good

[barren magnet]

balestra for crossbow

[frank cove]

Oooo I like that. Could also do Archetto for just a normal bow

But a crossbow is cooler

[barren magnet]

balestra also rolls off the tongue pretty well

a lot of italian words do tho tbf

[frank cove]

I like the name Balestra more as the name of a car not the company if you know what I mean?

I do really like it regardless

[barren magnet]

yeah

its been a while since ive had to think of an italian car manufacturer alternative

wonder if ive got any in automation

i think i had one

nvm i was a basic bitch and called it arturo

arthur the car

[frank cove]

I think I might go with Balestra as I test car names with it

It does sound very good

First car imma make is the Stratos with the name "Spazio" meaning space

And the full name of "Space Crossbow" is pretty fitting of that car

[median flame]

chat do i join his discord

chat i joined but idk what now

ill do it tommorow

[drowsy leaf]

Could just use autobello since there's not that much overlap in models between the 2 brands (Fiat and Lancia)

[cursive peak]

? i only said it once

[velvet cipher]

are there any mods for uel headers?

[main schooner]

Does anyone know any mods for modern American muscle cars? That isn't the Vertex

[dull ferry]

Is ko-fi safe place to get mods?

[dense jungle]

usually yes, although it depends on where the source of that kofi link is, like the forums is usually the safest source and in that case it's safe

[dull ferry]

i saw it on steam, it had a full long youtube video of it also
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2953030257

then on the steampage there was link to the youtube video and the youtube video had the link to kofi

[fathom thorn]

I wouldn’t pay for any irl car mods, but ko fi is safer than other 3rd party sites

[dense jungle]

i looked on the link and it is free

[dull ferry]

that specific car is free

[fathom thorn]

It would be safe to download

The worst that can happen is that it is low quality

[dull ferry]

okay

thanks anyway :)

[cyan drum]

(spoiler alert it is)

[fathom thorn]

Sounds about right

[dire echo]

Hello there

[latent ivy]

russian mod sites are a Russian Roulette

[frigid palm]

bouncing head off of wall
Why. Why do people feel the need to take their mods and instead of update them when the car gets remastered, they just release it as a standalone mod which ruins any sort of cross-mod builds

@strange night is the ibishu evo going to be updated for the new BX?
I love the body but wanna use all the new drift stuff on it.

[latent ivy]

Which ones?

[fathom thorn]

Maybe that one t series mod that overwrote tons of vanilla files

[frigid palm]

Well there were a few for the bolide. And now I’m afraid the bx evo is gonna get stuck with the same treatment

Literally one of the coolest addon mods I’ve seen, might be shoved into being a standalone forever.

[fathom thorn]

It depends how hard it is to adapt it to the old bx to the new one

[frigid palm]

Hey wasn’t there a thread for a civetta 787b?

[tawny lynx]

seriously, what's up with recent trends of JDM Commercial Vehicles flooding the beam modding scene

[fathom thorn]

People finally started making them after 9 years of not having any

Plus they’ve risen in popularity in general in the past few years

[limpid token]

Whats the difference between these download numbers?

[split vale]

Version download numbers are the current downloads for the version on the website, The total downloads are self explanatory, And the subscriptions is how many downloads were on the repository, At least thats my understanding 👍

[limpid token]

Thanks

[rain skiff]

Is there a 64 impala mod? @ me with the response

[wild grotto]

most likely no, if yes then a very shitty one

[humble kindle]

Let me check

[frank cove]

Was looking at downloads because it was mentioned above. Any idea why the in game and forum download number is 10x bigger/smaller?

And no its not version based as the most recent version has 474 dowloads on the forums

[keen jolt]

what will be a better jbeam for a tractor fender:

option 1 (3 nodes on side)

option 2 (2 nodes on side)

[celest sundial]

omg what a kind gesture

[abstract mango]

Lovely

[thick niche]

@frank cove yes the tony cart. Supersport moto is the only good one there is. It works pretty good but a bit wonky when pushing it to the limits. Its only really controllable on wheel.

[ocean mauve]

Option 1 would be better, I feel like the fender is too curved to have a flat jbeam

[limpid token]

Hey, if I were to make completely UNRELATED TO EACH OTHER mods for vanilla cars inspired by these irl ones, would it be better to release them separately or as one pack? (Idk yet if i'll do all these mods for vanilla cars, these are just options i consider)

[barren magnet]

id say separate

oh if theyre for vanilla vehicles maybe a pack

[latent ivy]

I would do separate as not everyone wants all of the mods most of the time then again it can be smaller compressed

[fathom thorn]

Separate would be better, also that sounds like a lot of work

[limpid token]

I'm not going to make all of them, just like 2-3

[muted vapor]

hey i have no modding experience (or coding experience for that matter) and am trying to make the head invisible (for vr purposes) on the stig model on the agent_y dummy addon, could anybody help me??

[frank cove]

Yeah you’re 100% good. I’ve uploaded many mods with YouTube video links and my Patreon linked

[frank cove]

Interesting. I’ll have to try it out as it looks really fun.

I would also LOVE to see an ATV or Dirtbike in this game eventually too and that superbike gives me hope

[thick niche]

Same guy has a motorcross dirtbike that works really well to

[frank cove]

Oh? Well damn I’ll definitely need to try that

[languid timber]

I have skin making experience, if the skin is just that, I can put this on the Grand Marshal for you within a week or 2 (I still have school)

[tender summit]

but regardless, whenever agenty gets around to it

[honest coral]

can you call it "police of calarii for gavril grand marshal"?

[green terrace]

I have no idea if this is the right place to ask but I was looking to download the DFA truck mod and the patreon says sold out. Apparently from what I heard it's because the mod is broken therefore it's down, so if that's true I was curiopus if anyone knew when it would be back up.

[olive spire]

Not sure I think it comes with the game might be wrong

[olive spire]

Yeah I have it it’s broken for me I think it’ll be a little he hasn’t said a time though

[spark carbon]

Anyone know any good wheel mods that aren’t machines wheel pack and whatever tf the other one is 😭

[hard badger]

so i have decided to go to modland to download real car mods and fix them for myself(because the forums is not enough) but how do i avoid downloading things i shouldnt download?

[drowsy leaf]

2 is more than plenty

[drowsy leaf]

gambling

you might get a crap mod that sucks ass or you might get a good mod which is just probably leaked

or you might get troll mods that mess up stuff

[wispy stream]

Idk if it’s a viable way, but you could look on like YouTube for some if they have the links

But that’s just a theory I’ve never used modland or that for obvious reasons

[barren magnet]

reviews, googling whether or not theyre from somebody’s patreon, virustotal to check the files, obviously dont use an exe installer

dont use leaked mods, if you find them, get in contact with the creator so they can have it taken down

[mighty kite]

any1 that could do a little job and swap engine sounds for me?

[fathom thorn]

Correct
Ones with higher download counts will also be safer to download
Check the comments of them too

Anyone know how i can upload a mod larger than the allowed file size in beamng repo? I'm trying to upload my map which has a file size of 2.6, but its not possible.

[thick niche]

You try the moto mods yet

[neat meadow]

You can go to the forums under the map section and make a thread there and post the mod.

[solemn ice]

in the "forums" its also saying that the max file size is only half a GB

[neat meadow]

Hmmm didn't know there was a limit. Try using a Google drive link and posting it on the forums. I don't think it will limit Google drive links

[fathom thorn]

It doesn’t

[drowsy leaf]

contact AgentMooshroom5 or Car_killer. they are the 2 ppl i know that take care of the repo

[barren magnet]

are you sure thats the forums? you can upload zips to the forums, its a different setup than the repo

you may need to have them on approved drive links on the forums for anything above 500mb

but do what lichi says

[barren magnet]

look at mr fancy with his content creator purple name

[drowsy leaf]

i applied 3 months or so ago

[barren magnet]

look ma, im a real modder now

lol congrats tho, about damn time

[cold pewter]

damn 3 months

[drowsy leaf]

maybe more like 2 and a chunk but like idk

[frank cove]

They’re paid and I couldn’t find any reviews on em so I decided to save my money until there is a comprehensive review done about them so I can get an assessment of their quality

[fathom thorn]

The only good one is beamng.com

Yo, I just got started on this skin, and I was wondering if you had a high-resolution version of the logo under the "POLICE" text (otherwise I'd have to interperet what I see and make a high-res version myself)

[random badger]

has anyone made a dirt bike mod yet or is that not possible IN in beam?

[frank cove]

They exist but atm the only one that does is paid (more than fair imo, can't imagine the effort it took to make)

The paid mod also comes with multiple sport bikes and a chopper I think

https://www.beamng.com/threads/motocross-motorcycle-paid.87500/

[latent ivy]

I got my contributor role! 😄

[frank cove]

How do you even get one?

[random badger]

thats sick

i wasnt sure if bikes would work in beam

[lyric cedar]

trackbroseff: 11 Reputation (#150)

[frank cove]

Ah gotcha that seems logical

[frank cove]

Yeah it seems they work but barely. Massive props to the modder still

Hopfully eventually someone can make a twin stick bike where the right stick is rider lean and left stick is steering/handlebar control

It should be possible

[random badger]

what if the devs make a bike

[frank cove]

I think it would go outside of a PG rating tbh. Because you need a rider for a bike and a soft body rider getting flung off at 150mph isn't very family friendly lmao. But I would still love to see an offical bike somehow

Or an offical plane. Both would be amazing

[drowsy leaf]

those carbs lookk
weird

[willow jolt]

Just throttle and intake, the DFV was mechanical injection.

[drowsy leaf]

but that flat plate just looks wrong

and the airhorns look too lowpoly

you can steal model/ textures from the pigeon race i4 engine
its got a decent itb model

[willow jolt]

They are low poly, the engine is already getting on for 20k tris, and I've a lot more detail to add. I'll add more when I've got more of the car in, if it's not too hungry

(I've added a fair bit more since that image lol)

[drowsy leaf]

how tf is that 20k

its the cables right

those look too smooth

[willow jolt]

There's a lot of detail around the gearbox (obviously not in that picture) and the exhaust

[drowsy leaf]

mind showing the polyflow

[willow jolt]

The cables actually have less than the exhausts, even though they're similarly made. but I figure people will pay more attention to the exhaust

Sure, I'll be working on it again later I'll send it then.

[drowsy leaf]

since like this entire high poly block im making is 26k (excluding the bevel node which makes it 140k)

and its a highpoly, im not really trying to make it optimized

[willow jolt]

Nice

Think it's worth spending a few more polies on the air trumpets then?

My plan is to swap out that block underneath them for something that looks a bit more like this one... but I want to get an idea for how much detail the bathtub is going to need

[drowsy leaf]

ill be able to properly advice once i see where those 20k polygons are used cuz thats baffling me

[lyric cedar]

okopokooko: 1 Reputation (#728)

[obsidian stump]

oh

[willow jolt]

I mean it's still less than 20k tris, haha, I'm just using a lot more than I was expecting. And that's without adding any detail to the block yet. I've used a lot of loop cuts, so can probably cut down the polies in the cylinder heads by merging vertices there (going to rely on normals for most of the detail there

I want to limit the engine and gearbox to 20k so I have plenty for the cockpit, bathtub and suspension

[drowsy leaf]

engine can get as many as you want really since it doesnt deform

also dont set a limit on polygons since thats just very limiting

just be cacious with how the polyflow is, specially since you can reduce polyflow

[willow jolt]

I'll redo the intake system to reflect the detail elsewhere.

[willow jolt]

I try to keep things below 100k for the whole car, but that's a habit I got into years ago so I might have to relearn to not do that. lol

[drowsy leaf]

thats
not good
100k is a very low limit lol

[willow jolt]

Thanks, I'll up my limits haha

[velvet cipher]

is there a lore callaway that already exists? like the brand

i've had some ideas

[ocean mauve]

In the mod, there should be a something.materials.json file, which contains all the data for the materials.

In there, find the lights materials, which should have a something_on and something_on_intense variant. These two are the actual lit up versions.

Just lower the emissiveFactor for those two materials, and the lights should become less bright 🙂

anybody know how to install the Nordschleife mod?

[fathom thorn]

Hell yeah

The non horrifically overpriced charger generation

[nova haven]

Hello ppl, i have a problem with the hirochi CC mod, basically when i spawn it i can't see the car gear, rpm gui, etc or even drive it, also i can't interact with it. Anyone can help me?

[barren magnet]

did you download it from the repo?

[nova haven]

Yep i did

[barren magnet]

if so, make sure its updated and then clear cache

[nova haven]

How i do that?

[barren magnet]

in the launcher, support tools, clear cache, and you can just do a basic cache clear

itll look like its gonna take forever but it speeds up early on

still takes a little bit so id find a youtube video to watch in the meantime

[nova haven]

standar cache clean?

[barren magnet]

yep

[nova haven]

Btw, do i need to uninstall?

the mod

[barren magnet]

no, its fine

just the most recent update changed a lot

[nova haven]

btw i installed the mod manually

[barren magnet]

oohh

did you also try to subscribe on the repo ingame?

[nova haven]

i think i am

i mean in the mod manager it says i am

[barren magnet]

yeah then remove rhe one you put in manually

and then make sure you are actually subscribed to the one in the ingame repo

just search for CCF

[nova haven]

alright

[barren magnet]

still do the cache clean since there will still be cached files from the one you manually installed

[cyan drum]

did you buy the game

[misty onyx]

offtopic but i keep thinking your name is TheTalkingBeth

[cyan drum]

[misty onyx]

😭

[main lotus]

[barren magnet]

that works too

[cyan drum]

I typed the link manually

[craggy pulsar]

i need help to make main materials for porsche.

[main lotus]

thanks! i found it

Really appreciate the help

[barren magnet]

alas neither gets the rep

[barren magnet]

enjoy

[cloud pelican]

Is that just for headlights or does it work with taillights too

[cold pewter]

@dense tangle should i make thread for ford van cuz idk

[cloud pelican]

So a bit of an update, i did it and now the textures on the lights and signals dont seem to be there when turned on
Idk if thats just bc they were never there to begin with or what

If you can help me out a bit more with this in dms thatd be great

[barren magnet]

dew it

[cold pewter]

is it good enough to get its own thread 😭🙏

[barren magnet]

i think so

may be a little early rn but eventually

[cold pewter]

I mean im just getting it in game

and I did share quite a lot on the modeling side :p

[barren magnet]

yeah

[ashen minnow]

[silver mural]

hello, I have a question in which text files should I look for the maximum endurance of given engine parts?

[tulip thunder]

anyone know of any cool bx bodykit mods, i dont really like the ingame ones (especially a pig nose style for the pop up light front)

[mossy pike]

I'm not someone to ask for something, but is someone able to make the cargo boxes to work for the cargobox upfit for the Gavril Durham, currently it has no option for them, and i would like to use it as my career truck for city delivery

[paper fable]

hey, can anyone help me? I downloaded a carmod and it worked fine, I tuned the car and drove around. As soon as I went to a different map this happened

[unkempt wagon]

Hi guys . How do u add custom .png for decals ?

[trim pollen]

helo, do you guys know some good rally mods

?

[knotty gazelle]

Hi I’ve been wanting to install some mod but it sometimes did something weird where the vehicule wouldn’t spawn and instead the base truck would spawn with white color and the steering column out of the vehicule and it would go at bazillion speed diagonaly to the back left I tried installing mods on the game and through the modding website but nothing changed I would appreciate if someone could help me

[dense jungle]

it sounds like you installed a mod for a mod which you don't have

[knotty gazelle]

I do not think I did that. I installed the jbx100 mod from the repository and it still did that and when I installed it from the files it did it again

[dense jungle]

in that case its for the 200bx which was remastered and breaking it in the process

[knotty gazelle]

So what should I do ?

[dense jungle]

theres nothing you can do unless you know how to fix it

[knotty gazelle]

Ok thanks I guess

Gave +1 Reputation to @dense jungle (current: #110 - 16)

made thread or smth idk

[dense tangle]

ping

[cold pewter]

erm

[nova haven]

Hey ppl, i have a problem with the Gunner patriot mod, basically i can't open or close the doors, i click and nothing happens

[whole horizon]

I can't install mods from modland site, bc of the anti virus, what can i do

[nova haven]

Disable it while downloading prob will fix it

Then turn it on again

[whole horizon]

well, I can't really disable it

[nova haven]

Why not?

[whole horizon]

I paid it, and I think the only way to disable it, is to cancel it.

[nova haven]

Oh dang

welp, then you're gone i think

[whole horizon]

ye, sad, they should add an channel with beamng mods, where the creators can put them there.

[nova haven]

fr

still you can download mods from repo, there are good ones too

[whole horizon]

repo?

[nova haven]

its the beamng official mod page

[whole horizon]

oh

[whole horizon]

yeah well those mods, they are kinda meh

I mean they are good

but it's hard to find mods you want, like tanks.

[clear kraken]

then where are the good mods?

[ocean mauve]

• The in-game repository
• https://www.beamng.com/resources/
• https://www.beamng.com/categories/mods.23/

Unfortunately, the search feature on the official site is pretty bad.
If you're looking for a specific map, I'd recommend googling site:beamng.com and then whatever map you're looking for.
For example, searching site:beamng.com racetrack will show all results for 'racetrack' from the official site.

[clear kraken]

but mods from the repo and beamng's website are "kinda meh" according to xlender

[ocean mauve]

Not according to me 🤷 these are the only official places to get mods, all other sites are 3rd party

[drowsy leaf]

theres just a lack of mods since only high quality non scammy shit is posted

3rd party sites will have more cars but they will just be very low quality or stolen

[clear kraken]

i just wanted to see whats the good website to get mods, according to xlender haha

[barren magnet]

#1102973298222051358 ???

also dont get mods from modland

[fathom thorn]

#1102973298222051358 it exists lmfao

[whole horizon]

I meant like you won't find usually irl car brands, tanks or idk, but the mods are good quality most of the time there.

[whole horizon]

Oh, thx.

[fathom thorn]

Irl mods can’t be on the repo for copyright reasons
There are some irl cars, but without real badging on it tho

[whole horizon]

Ye

[dry ocean]

Anyone know of any mods that make my cam for cars go brum brum brum? Instead of brrrrrrrrrrrr at idle?

[celest sundial]

there's also some real car mods on the forums

[dry ocean]

Like a blow big block

[willow jolt]

So, went in and reworked a lot of it, loop cuts were (and still are) causing poor poly-flow... I halved the polies by merging a huge number of vertices and tidying stuff up... Here's the current (and I'm still adding new stuff including a reworked intake). 23k tris currently....

[drowsy leaf]

ok i got a few things i see wrong

those cables are too high poly

[willow jolt]

HT leads or fuel lines? Or both?

[drowsy leaf]

using beizer curves with these settings you can get much lower polycounts

both ideally

then this manifold thing is way too detailed, you can remove 2/3 of the loops and it would still be fine

the headers are fine

[willow jolt]

Yeah, I'll play with the beizer curves they sound like cool shortcut

[drowsy leaf]

wait
you werent modeling all the wiring by hand right??????

[dense jungle]

dont use modland

[willow jolt]

I've also decided I'm not going to worry too much about polycount for the time being, after looking into it a bit more, my typical limits are about 15 years old lol.

[dense jungle]

that is literally the reason why you shouldnt be using modland

[dense jungle]

and dont follow this advice

[willow jolt]

No, mathematically

[drowsy leaf]

yeah lol
tho beamngs polycount limit is like 10 year old

tho thats more on the parts that deform

engines and such are a minimal performance inpact polycount wise so you can have them generally higher detail

[willow jolt]

Not just that, but I cut my teeth modding for GTA4 and such

[drowsy leaf]

gta4 body polycount i think is a tad lower poly than beam so that good

what gta4 stuff have you done out of curiosity

[willow jolt]

Yeah, generally you aim for around 20k tris for the whole body.

[willow jolt]

Nothing I published, but I put a Caterham, BMW Z3 and Rolls Royce into it.

[drowsy leaf]

yeah beamng is more like 40

well bare shell is more like 25k

with chassis details youd get to like 40k

interior is genrerally pretty detailed so add like 15-30k polygons

then add another 30k for all mechanical stuff

this is going off of 1980-90s shitbox car models since thats my particular niche

ofc old racecars would be lower poly just because theres less stuff

and modern cars are the opposite

[willow jolt]

Well, in the car I'm aiming to build the engine is a stressed chassis member, but at the same time it'll still be non-deformable, Interior won't be 30k as there's pretty much no interior. But I'd like to give a bit more over to suspension and engine as they'll be always visible

[meager plinth]

Could someone explain in short why making the Jbeams of a modded car is hated by mod makers? Before I decide to try it out myself

[celest sundial]

vro might be building whatever that porsche lm car is

[drowsy leaf]

its coding but with math

generally things that are not fun

[meager plinth]

I mean I am a programmer

[drowsy leaf]

also since its a proprietary thing to beamng theres not much documentation other than the official wiki and the help on a modding discord server

[willow jolt]

The Jbeam for the Autobello Pico doors, just the doors, nothing else, is 1000 lines long

[meager plinth]

aha

[frank cove]

It’s a tedious process making things that aren’t directly visible but still need to be done to a very high standard with minimal tutorials

[willow jolt]

It's coding, data coding, not programming

[meager plinth]

So, if you wanna make a Jbeam you bassecally kinda make a Json file with coordinates something like that?

[meager plinth]

I see

That explains it well

[willow jolt]

Yup, coordinates, material properties (strength, resistance, weight, etc)

[meager plinth]

Maybe a stupid question, but wouldnt it be way faster and more accurate if the meshes of the car parts just got the properties of the Jbeams?

Unless it doesnt/couldnt work like that

[drowsy leaf]

well i mean you wouldnt do that
you just repurpose other jbeams for the structure and allat

[drowsy leaf]

yeah thats how it works

using a flexbody it links the nodes to the tris in the mesh

[meager plinth]

Ohh I see

[willow jolt]

It's not that it's hard, per se, but it's very involved, and requires a lot of time. And say if you build the Jbeam and decide the rear suspension is too stiff, then you could spend weeks just tweaking the spring rates, etc.

[meager plinth]

What I kinda meant to say though, just as in Blender for example, when you get a plain square, and subdivide it add a rigidbody to it it can colide with each induviual subdivision, couldnt something like that work for BeamNG?

[meager plinth]

Ahh I see, yea that doesnt sound fun

[dense jungle]

visual representation of why jbeaming isnt fun

[drowsy leaf]

oh also for suspension you basically have to have a degree in engineering

no like seriously

[willow jolt]

It's true, but thankfully I do

[frank cove]

Yeah you legitimately do lol. That and many aspects of chassis design too

[meager plinth]

Pov: The game is to realistic

[drowsy leaf]

you have to know how suspensions work and translate all the values and thingimajigs into a pile of nodes and beams for it to just explode

[willow jolt]

Realistic is quite an elastic term, but yeah, kinda.

[dense jungle]

also i have no idea why the flexbody wont show up here either, all the names and such are correct

[meager plinth]

I mean, the collision physics seem pretty realistic (atleast up to like 100kmh but thats probably because there arent to many videos of cars crashing at anything above)
And for the suspension, it also looks like it behaves like the IRL versions of the cars would

[willow jolt]

Like you wouldn't be able to look up the figures on your favourite car and just transcribe them into a Jbeam, because even Jbeam isn't exactly accurate, but it's close enough that knowing the real world figures will make your Jbeam better

[meager plinth]

Ah

Alright well thanks for the explanation

[willow jolt]

Yes, it does, I'm not knocking the game, it's far better than most, if not all, that have gone before or even since in how in depth it simulates vehicles, but even an F1 designer and engineer would have a learning curve building in Jbeam. Thankfully there are some very clever lads and ladies who have described how you can do most things.

A good place to start (it's where I started) is to do the Formula Bee tutorial to get a feel for Jbeam

[meager plinth]

Formula Bee?

[willow jolt]

It's Beam's car making tutorial. They give you the engine, suspension and moving parts for free, then you essentially build a body and chassis around it

[meager plinth]

Ohh That sounds cool

I might take a look in it when I got some more freetime

[willow jolt]

I made a Porsche Speedster style car

It handles terribly, too, so I think it's pretty accurate 🤣

[meager plinth]

I would just love to make one of those very old cars, back when they were "better" when they didnt break in a collision (Usually killing the passengers)

I think that could be fun in BeamNG since the safety of the occupants isn't a concern (To me).

[willow jolt]

The Burnside Special is good for that 😄

[ocean rock]

i really wanna make a indestructible valvetrain so i could overrev as much as i want lmao

[willow jolt]

TBF I think you can do that with one line in the engine Jbeam
