Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

Hey Krallopian...

I think this man https://www.beamng.com/members/theo-wilkinson.372943/ Deserves to be on the vehicle team. He made the new Hirochi CCF Mod that is on the Repo.

 

Or at least a staff pick

 

actually if you own a vehicle with a high cargo capacity and go to any '' major '' pick up point , like the shipment company near the racetrack or the industrial warehouse near the dockyard area or even like youve said on spearleaf logitics they can gove you deliveries that rewards even more that that ! ive just did one from Spearleaf to the quarry for 4800$ .. i use a H Series van that ive converted to the '' upfit cargo box '' who can transport 6 XL cargo boxes !

 

Tell me please, is the current parts setup menu a forced measure, or is this close to a final solution? IMHO, but the parts branch from free mode is much more convenient than what is presented in career mode

 

i run a 92 d-series long bed extended cab with the modded long roof rack

 

So.... How's the final car repair gonna work? Is it gonna be a free "repair button"? Is it gonna be Street Legal Racing style, where you can damage your car a ton but its easy and cheap to repair to mint? Or are you going full summer car killju style and have every single part you bend or break of the car be expensive and hard to fix, and probably require time without you get to drive the car?

 

I didnt find but, does career have a day/night cycle? If yes, how do i enable it?

 

Hello, Career mod is really good.
I just want to report problems i found in the map visualisation.
I got LUA error, so the map do not show anymore the quick travel or the activities point. So I started a new progression and now it is the delivery list that didn't show every times.
This append only in career mode, in freeroam all is working very well.

instead of that, this game mode is really fun

 

You can use "Change time of day" keybind to choose between day, sunset and night

 

It is probably going to be my summer car type cause if you dont use insurance to pay for the damages then you have to pay for each part you break. Sometimes it costs more than the car itself also.

How did you get that tho... I have a H series (non cargo box uplift) and the most I have ever gotten is like 1600, but usually I get around 400-600

 

I have done some calculations on cargo transport capacity for delivery gameplay. Those are pictures, you can get the spreadsheet file on request. Enjoy.


Cargo Load Boxes Overwiew:




The number of different Cargo Boxes and Total Slots all ingame vehicles can carry:



The amount of weight added to your vehicle with all possible cargo boxes equipped but empty:



The total weight carrying capacity of all equipped cargo boxes on your vehicle:




The maximum total weight increase of your vehicle with all possible cargo boxes equipped and all of those boxes being fully loaded with maximum weight.

 

Those are really great and practical suggestions! I would like to add one more. I hope players can adjust the simulation speed of driving distance, fuel consumption, and component wear, such as 5 times or 10 times faster than real life. So that we can fuel up more often, and component wear are more perceptible. Currently, I have never needed to refuel any of my vehicle even once. I feel like one tank of gas lasts forever, even I play career mode few hours a day.

 

Do not touch the norm of gasoline consumption!). I advise you to pump the car to 1000+ horsepower and then the fuel consumption will not seem slow to you, I personally in the mod of "carp" is tired to refuel

 

Wait, so the debug meshes are canon? Not the snowman?
Actually kinda makes sense since the snowman would melt from all the hot cars like the Piccolina or Wydra

Man actually did the research.
Outstanding.

 

The drift basics mission seems impossible, only 20 seconds and somehow you can get 10500 points? On top of that, the Vivaces suspension is way to soft for drifting. I don't know if I'm just this bad, as drifting or what, but it's ridiculously hard.

 

Loving the cargo delivery so far! It seems to be addressing the three biggest gripes I had with career mode:

1. Never being able to do anything productive with your own vehicle(s),
2. Never having any real reason to upgrade your vehicle(s) or have multiple vehicles, and
   
3. All worthwhile activities being carefully scripted missions, which you can eventually run out of.

That said, I'm not too keen on the insurance gambit. Paying by the mile for driving in a driving game is, to put it gently, counterintuitive. I do agree that there should be incentive not to wreck your ride, and there being multiple ways to handle repairs is nice (though I don't love the more cost effective ones being so time-consuming). But when your bill comes every ~30 minutes, it can be a little taxing to keep your finances out of the red on just deliveries alone, especially when repairs are often mandatory for otherwise drivable vehicles.

Yeah, gotta agree with that. I don't mind accelerated part wear, but fuel consumption is a common enough concern in career freeroam that it doesn't need alteration. And I know I've seen drag cars lose a good 10% of their fuel going down the straight, so accelerating fuel consumption could just straight-up ruin certain motorsports events.

 

So, the idea of having barn finds and finding them has been already posted/suggested. im would like to expand this idea a bit if the devs are planning to add such thing. here are a few suggestions
1- Damaged barn finds/rusty cars:
Of course, most of the time, when barn finds are founded, they are old classic cars with missing parts, cracked windshield and glasses, and overall damaged parts everywhere on the body. 90% of the time when a barn find is founded, it has atleast several damaged parts either in the engine/mechanical stuff, and or body parts, or both.
thus i suggest making the barn finds be pre-damaged. not only it's more realistic and is more close to IRL barn finds, but it isn't something hard to develop and get working in the game, since i have tested and heard about some mods that have implemented this pre-damaged vehicle condition into some of the mod's configurations.
Example:
Damaged barn find:

Undamaged barn find:

although in some cases a barn find could be in a fairly undamaged condition, i find this to happen very rarely and has a very low chance, the environment around it damages the car in most cases.
also, about being rusty and having a rusty and old skin while being loaded and having such thing before the player finds it, would add a lot,lot more realism to barn finds in the career mode, also, it is kinda necessary to add the pre-rusty skin while the barn find is being loaded, since no barn find is in pristine condition and has some rust and scratches here and there.
also, dirty/damaged wheels like one's on the covet, or this ibishu mod (KLJP) in the picture could add a lot of realism to barn finds aswell.
-If this gets added, we can also have different types of barn finds and rusty/abandoned cars.
2- Tuner/racer barn finds (JDM,USDM,EUDM,ect)
These type of barn finds can load with custom tuner/racer parts, while being rusty and damaged with the stuff/features that i said up there. also they can already have a tuned and powerful engine, while being a bit damaged, or, have a blown out bad engine that needs to be replaced. this can help the one's that are just starting their career progress, witch most of dont have a lot of money. tuner/racer barn finds already do have some custom/race parts (like spoilers, lips, wheels, kits,ect) attached to them, they can keep such parts and put them back on the car later when the restoration is complete, or just sell them for some money to spend. these parts can also contain the engine, powerful and in good condition, or bad and rusty, witch need to be replaced/sold.
Example:


in this case, this one has a powerful engine in a pretty good shape.

also, custom license plates would be good thing to have in such barn finds too.

3- crashed barn finds:
Mostly being old/classic cars, these one's have been crashed and then abandoned, since being involved in a crash, they'll have more damage on the than other usual barn finds.
Example:


also, malfunctioning old parts that have stopped while working would be cool too (the wipers on the windshield of the burnside for example.)
4-Undamaged,vanilla abandoned barn finds:
The most simple form of the general barn finds, usual driving cars that have been abandoned, damaged, gotten rusty over time. also probably the most common found ones.
Example:


Also, kinda the most restore-able one's too i guess
5-Imported/Shipped Barn finds
Since (as of now atleast) the career mode is located/implemented on WCUSA, imported barn finds would kinda cool too. like some sort of 80s-90s EUDM or JDM, or cars from somewhere else, that have been abandoned while being imported to USA. mostly found in dock areas and places close to that. if somehow it had a system that would spawn them in some shipping containers, that would mind blowing (although i doubt that's gonna happen.) still pretty cool if we had them on their own.
Example: (This is the industrial site map, witch is in the US,Texas, and the car is the Autron JSP/Xenira mod,witch is french)




And at the end, the deliveries of these rusty barn find to your garage/workspace witch im sure will be a pretty simple thing to add alongside the rusty cars/barn find, if the devs want to do so. it would be cool if we were able to drive the delivery truck to the garage by yourself though.


Now, do keep in mind that these are only some suggestions about how the barn find system could possibly work, if it gets added, and then start being improved, this is just my theory about how it could be so realistic just like the delivery system that was just added with this update, witch is so good and realistic. at the end im saying that overall this is just a suggestion and if the devs find it, they can work on some of these thing that i have said, if are working on implementing the barn find system to the career mode. so this not a request to the devs, of course. and it is just a suggestion/theory of mine about this system and how it could work.
Hope the devs see this after Jan 4th!

 

Yes PLEASE!

 

The damage on those seems a bit… excessive. There are a lot of old cars sitting around near my “living quarters”, and they aren’t nearly that damaged, even though they are rusty.
