    Hello everyone,

    I have just discovered this YouTube video that I wanted to share with you. I was positively amazed by this demonstration of realism.


    Definitely worth a look.

    This is a really good video, I expected clickbait because usually videos like this are clickbait, but this looks like it actually has a lot of effort put into it. Most of the speeds of the crash tests are really well estimated and the in-game speed matches the real videos well, unlike in most videos like this where they can be way off. The vehicles are properly chosen for each test, each one has the most similar vanilla equivalent whenever possible, and if the vanilla game lacks a certain vehicle archetype, proper high quality mods are used. In other videos like this, often completely wrong vehicles are shown that only visually resemble the video ones but key factors like size or amount of doors differ. Or sometimes they use mods for the exact car used in the ctash test video, but those mods are badly made which makes the crashes looks bad. Here the quality of the mod was considered more important than visual appearance, which is good. You can see that in most cases, except the ones where a proper vehicle archetype couldn't be found or the speed was estimated wrong, the crashes in BeamNG look extremely similar to the ones in real life, it looks amazing! I imagine the devs had seen the original crash test videos and used them as a reference when setting deformation values of vanilla cars, which is why these crashes look so similar and all the other possible crashes are realistic too.

    Yes, probably. Anyway, the developers can be proud of what they have done
