Things that don't make sense in BeamNG..

- Pigeon and T Series windows don't crack?!??!?!?
- Tires are really glitchy
- You can't open doors, windows, sunroof???
- Steering wheel doesn't fall off, nor bend, or have a Jbeam??

if those things would work the game would take more processing power and these are things nobody demands or really needs it would be nice to have these features but they dont really matter too much, and this is kinda nitpicking

 

Being serious though. Most of these things will be simulated sooner or later. Seeing as that most cars already have breakable windows and some seats are deformable and have jbeams. The tyres you cant really do much about becuase when they explode they generally do it at super high speeds that the IRL counterparts are not capable of. The opening of doors and sunroof will proably happen in the future as they have already shown that a tailgate can be done and it works on the same principle of a hinge.

 

Nonglitchy tyres are something that dont matter?

 

You don't think that they are being worked on?

 

Metal in this game doesn't shear apart unless the jbeam is designed to do that. This makes fast crashes look odd, because the metal will stretch instead of snapping in half. This is perhaps one of my biggest nitpicks with BeamNG's crash/softbody physics system. Let us split a car in half after wrapping it around a pole!

Tires cannot fall off of rims, creating odd glitches with popped tires.

Engines and suspensions are sometimes made of unobtanium and take a very large crash to disable/break them.

The needles and displays on dashboards are not fixed / pinned to their position, so in crashes, they can move and it looks glitchy.

The steering wheel never moves from its position much, even in bad crashes. It also never breaks off of the vehicle.

Despite the physics running at 2000Hz, collisions with small or thin objects like smaller trees or lightpoles often don't work well, as the vehicle will travel partway through the object before a collision is detected. This is likely for performance reasons, but it would be nice if this didn't happen.

 

Engines, ehh, suspensions, certainly easy to break.

I've thought of an idea to fix this. When a beam breaks, have two nodes put in the middle of it, and split the beam. Now it would require rebuilding the colTris, which may make someone's head explode...

Neither move from their position in comparison to the world-position of the vehicle. That's just how props are set up right now.

 

Suspensions are weak when it comes to the wheels bending and twisting, but a hard landing or really bumpy road e.g. Small Island will not break stiffer suspension like I would expect it to

 

These problems are true but i see a possibility of fixing them, the thing i dislike the most is the fact that the game gives no feeling of speed, that's the real problem for me

 

I get a great feeling of speed. Having a higher Field of View will help with that.

 

I have to agree, it's missing motion blur

 

Higher FOV may help but i think there are various problems that could be fixed with new sounds, to really know when a car is in its truly limits

But then at low speeds it looks too fast, and you have to set the fov back, another important thing is that you can't use the chase cam with the FOV, and in some circumstances the chase cam is pretty useful

 

Exactly, a system like Forza would be great

 

I'm just gonna put this here since we're on the topic of FOV and motion blur so hopefully people understand my point of view...
