    Yes, stop using Automation. If you search for realistic cars, that's not here where you'll find some.

    It's not a complaint about it being realistic. It's a complaint about physically not being able to drive it, because the game is being dumb.

    idk though, it really depends on the skill of the designer. i've seen quite a few automation vehicles that are genuinely almost to par with scratch-made mods (without the crashing ofc)

    Try re-exporting it from automation. Sometimes that fixes issues.

    Without ability to make rear-engined cars I don't think so.
    And except mechanics, you can't really customize the car to make it just like the real one. Aerodynamics, weight and others can't be realistic.

    right?, automation is for sure not as good as handmade mods but if pretty fun to create your own car and shitty engine and then drive your shithole. but unfortunatly my automation is broken or sum because when exporting to beamng none of the car controls works it can only idle :(
