BeamNG + Automation for motorsports training

Thats awesome. I always had a thing for that particular Mantis, that V6 is remarkable in those older mazdas. Certainly one that I wish I could find in america and swap into my own car. great driving!

 

I just wrote something about autocross and getting to have fun day and here you have done exactly that, you devs are amazing, before I have a thought you know what I'm going to think

That certainly has been a fun day!

Thanks from the track and car, this will be fun to test out

That new version of the car is much better than old one, it even sounds better???

I did fail that 90 degree turn on 2nd lap, but got still 1:04 with this kind of hotlapping setup, but I don't need to be sorry for the car and can abuse it freely :
Well, I kinda tapped a little that last cone, so it would be DQ I believe.

 

While that is super cool, I'm not sure how much useful information it gives about the simulation. Since the somewhat similar times show only that the acceleration, deceleration, and max cornering speed are roughly correct. While that may sound like a lot, it omits a lot of the things that make a simulation correct.

To be clear, I'm not poo-pooing on the simulation, its cool, I have over a 1000 hours in it, I'm just not sure that this side by side video shows very much.

If you had the means to record the throttle and steering inputs on the real car, and then feed that into BeamNG, I would be super impressed if the results came out even close to the same. I think that is where a mark of accuracy can be found.


Regardless, it is still a neat video, I enjoyed it

 

wow, that's awesome! i wonder what this can be used for in the future...

 

Holy shit that Mazda sounds so good!

 

This is why we want better car sounds Mitch. That V6 sounds so good. I hope you guys can make V6 sounds as good as Mazda's for the game.

 

Does the car sound as good as RCR claims it does in the high rev range?

 

I have a question about this V6 sound of a new version of the car.

Is it possible to use that same way as ingame sounds is possible to use for mods?

 

I have a suspicion that they have also recorded sounds for V6 as they were racing. That's just a speculation though.

 

I won’t be surprised if they did. It’s the perfect moment to do so.

 

Something like putting a race exhaust on pessima V6 hearing sound like this would make me wet.

 

someone made a Mazda lantis replica a while ago lol https://www.beamng.com/resources/automation-lambtis.3796/ i didnt even knew it was supposed to be a Mazda 323/Lantis lmao.

 

You did read first post well, didn't you?

Hint: Exact same link was there

 

Ah didnt notice it XD now i know what is the purpose of that Lore-friendly mazda.

 

You did perhaps missed something else there, see what people were talking about here earlier, you might like what you find

 

Well, I can confirm as the owner of the car that it felt pretty damn similar in BeamNG to the actual Autocross, and that most of the throttle/steering inputs were as similar as they could reasonably be expected to be (given the fact that it was an Automation replica of the Lantis, and so didn't have exactly identical suspension geometry/steering rack ratio/wheel alignment etc.)

It definitely seemed to be enough of an accurate simulation to have Mitch doing some pretty quick runs right out of the gate, with only minor driving style adjustments to the differences of the real car, and general gaining of confidence as the day went on.

Oh, I abuse it freely in real life too
