    Thanks, we will take a look. Does it happen every time and do you have any mods installed?

    Also the traffic Ai is stupid. THey brake to around 20-30 MPH on a 60+ MPH highway. They also sometimes merge into you (I think this helped though). Both of these are fun when hauling a 2000kg trailer with a LWB h-series.

    Also, the escape mission with the muscle car and the movie studio ("lights, camera, action" I think) is REALLY annoying. It is misleading, I think you were supposed to find an alternate route to the safehouse, instead of the provided route. But it took me 8+ tries to finally try it. Also, the AI police popping in LITERALLY IN FRONT OF THE END, makes the game feel like it cheating and screwing you over on purpose, leading to me (and others I'm sure) rage quitting repeatedly. This mission needs fixing in some way. Maybe make the strategy more clear? Definitely removing or moving the pop-in cops at the end. Or just replace it all together. Also, this mission has stayed the same seemingly broken state for at least 3 game versions.

    can we possibly see the ability to use our personal cars in missions without losing all the money and stars that come with the missions

    also can we have the ability to turn on time passage in carrer mode like we can in free roam it would add so much more immersion

    and is there a possibility of police vehicles spawning in traffic and working like the speed cameras


    i dont know where else to put this but the t-series paint does not work atleast in the store in carrer mode

    I think it was just because of me copying the original 200BX's vehicle folder in whole to my mods folder. I disabled that "mod" and it worked

    I opened that bc that's where I could find the error after the error popup disappeared.

    Honestly, i'd say this is my biggest complaint with the career right now, 99% of my needed vehicle repairs are caused by the AI suddenly flooring it in reverse at a stop light on a hill while im sitting behind them, or slamming on the brakes on the highway, or their complete inability to PICK A GOD DAMN LANE

    I kind of hope random acts of uncertainty happen from time to time though. Had a lansdale place a turn signal on and begin to brake for an exit before deciding to stay on the highway (something I’ve seen often irl). I’m sure it was a mixup with path choosing but I got a scare and chuckle out of it.

    Something I’ve noticed is I haven’t had a single collision while running red lights or merging onto highways without looking. But I have collided with cars while running stop signs through the city.

    I agree when it happens every now and then, but those mistakes happen a lot (in my game)

    I enabled the tutorial on safe mode but the beginner Covet still doesn't show up on the trade-in menu. I did make sure I activated the tutorial and went through the parking lot and gas station segment leading up to it as well.

    At this point i believe that a better AI would directly affect the quality of career mode too. I feel so terrified around them when i know they can screw my day lol Imagine driving around downtown a few hours after new years eve, with all drunken people on the road. Like that.

    At the moment, there hasn't been any development time put aside for the police behaviour within Career Mode. The current behaviour is something I'm very excited to finally get moving on when the time comes! For now, we're stuck with the crazy cops when trying the older police chase gameplay challenges. :D

    I was thinking today... When the dev time does go to police behavior, will they care if we're driving something not street legal? That would be a way to balance at least some missions against just stripping everything off of your car for weight reduction, driving around town with a ram plow semi truck, doing delivery missions in a trophy truck, etc...

    This is planned yes! Currently, you can run around without a license plate to avoid speed traps. Once police gameplay starts being developed, they'll often engage in pursuit for driving without a plate, with missing exhaust, with otherwise illegal setups! :)

    Cool! Can we get more car slots in the garage? Maybe as a purchasable upgrade? I was thinking 10-15 cars, Probably 10. Would this be possible?

    It would be nice to have an ability to change how aggressive the throttle and gear changes are when in automatic shifting mode

    As an example, I would like an economy car to shift at a lower band and accelerate slower to avoid wheelspin, while in a sports car, I would like for the car to shift near the powerband peak.

    This is a small sample of BeamNG’s community. I placed this up as a YT poll and figured I’d drop it here. Honestly thought most people would be for A but I stand corrected :p

    Thanks for sharing that poll! Good to hear that we're on the right track: We'll allow players to use their own or use a "rented" or "provided" vehicle depending on the situation. We're not there yet, but it's on the horizon :)


    This is planned, that's what the individual garages outside of the main garage are there for. Then there are more over in the logistics area that'll be used for vehicle storage. Right now there is a limit because everything is prototypical and WIP, lots of things are constantly being refactored and tweaked. I purposely put this limit in there now so that people don't spend 100 hours on Career Mode, and lose their progress in the next big update and become jaded, "I had 152 customized cars, they're all gone!!" So for now, freeroam allows players to modify to their heart's content. :)
