    Its a Raven R20, currently its in development, and not available to the public.

    There is a Raven R60 that you can download from the mod repository, but it is currently a little broken with the 0.16.0 update. So if the R60 interests you, I would give it a week for things to get sorted out*.

    *I have pushed an update which is awaiting moderation, that will probably go live soon when the devs are back at work again (Monday might be a holiday for them?). However, the update only fixes the majority of the issues, not all of them (enough for the car to work normally when used with a slight workaround). When I find out what is going on with the issue that I haven't fixed yet, providing I can fix it, I will be pushing out another update.

    Ever wondered if Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) would be a good place for someone to flip houses?

    You might find it a bit of a surprise, but there is some potential for house flipping in Pittsburgh.

    Ah, Pittsburgh. The armpit of the mid-west. It's even in the name.

    Recently, I've been working on some lore for the BeamNG universe, along with some mods to go with it. What I have here is something I wrote a few days ago:

    The following is a message from Farnesworth and Sons, Attorneys at Law*:

    If you purchased a new Gavril Grand Marshal between the years of 1990 and 2012, you may be entitled to financial compensation. A Michigan court of appeals recently upheld a lower court's finding that a design flaw in the Gavril Next-Generation V8, specifically 335- and 366-ci variants, was known during the engine's production, that Gavril Motor Corporation did not act sufficiently to resolve this flaw, and that damages resulting from the flaw were reasonably foreseeable.

    Wait, a design flaw?

    Yes. The Gavril Next-Generation V8, as produced from 1988 to 2012, uses a plastic intake manifold. The manifold features several coolant channels, intended to keep the manifold from overheating during operation. This manifold design was used across the entire lineup of NG V8's - the 276-, 335- and 366-ci variants all feature this exact same component. However, the excess heat generated by the two larger engines exceeds the recommended limit for the type of plastic used. This causes the manifolds to become brittle over time, leading to premature wear, cracking, coolant leaks, and in at least two cases, catastrophic implosion.

    How do I know if I was affected?

    First, figure out what engine you have. The 335- and 366-ci engines are internally referred to as the 1F5 and 1F6, respectively. Check your VIN plate - if the sixth through eighth characters are 1F5 or 1F6, you have one of the engines subject to the ruling. Then, check the service record to find if any of the following problems occurred with your engine during or after its powertrain warranty period:
    • Cracked intake manifold
    • Coolant leaking from intake manifold
    • Engine "hydro-locking" due to coolant in intake air
    • Cylinder wall scoring due to plastic pieces in intake air
    • Spark knock/"detonation"
    • Engine failure requiring rebuild or full replacement as a consequence of any of the above
    If so, you are entitled to damages as a result of this class-action lawsuit.

    For years, Farnesworth and Sons have helped people like you get their rightful compensation. It's your money. Claim it today! Call 1-800-328-7448 now!

    I've been inactive for a couple of years, after being back these past couple months I'm disgusted by how annoying I used to be...

    I can't believe people used to tolerate me haha.
    This is basically an apology for everyone that was around when I was a spammy child.

    Also, I've since built a new computer rig and I'm shocked that load times for maps in game still take about a minute. I have an M2 drive. any suggestions? I originally installed the game on an hdd, then I added the M2 drive to the board and dragged all of my hdd files (none were OS related) to the M2.
    Should I take the time to reinstall everything to the M2 or is it something else?

    It is what it is as far as I know :(
    I have an SSD that is currently dedicated to housing the BeamNG folder that is normally in "MyDocuments", and I'm not sure that I saw much if any improvement over a nearly full spinning rust drive. I haven't timed it, so couldn't say for sure, but I didn't notice a speed up.

    Welcome to BeamNG, where loading times measured by calendar days is the norm. Lots of work is being done to add features, which is what the majority should be doing, but it doesn't seem any time is being spent optimizing the code for loading times and memory management, which are just as important in my eyes. It's all well and good if there's lots of content, but when it takes 15 minutes to load a larger map (that's not an exaggeration), it doesn't really matter how much content there is.

    And they STILL haven't fixed the RWD SBR4 to SBR2. Come on guys! MY IMMERSION!! It can't be a shoot-brake rear engine 4WD when there's no 4WD, now can it?

    Devs, plz fix

    But wouldn’t that make it the 4SBR, since the ESBR works off of that nomenclature?
