Its in graphics. I forget what its called, but it was added a few updates ago.

Its called mesh quality

 

That's not an LOD slider, though. With the mod, you could drastically increase the fidelity of objects at distance

 

Watch the stenyak video very closely. the popping is significant and much more worse than it is in the public build

 

Of course, modifying the underlying architecture of the engine to make it independent requires the efforts of developers. BeamNG has really changed a lot over the years.

 

depending on settings, ive experienced that level of pop-in myself

 

was there a new leak vid?

 

well, that with bouncy cars

 

i didnt see that where is it

 

I think the bouncy cars will be an addition for the fun stuff in the radial menu

 

haha I forget about that vid

 

my friend are you sure you are developing beamng and not an esports game

 

It

it is an LOD slider.

 

It's pretty much an extreme version of the mesh quality setting. It makes even my rx6600 cry at the max settings. I usually set it to normal since I noticed BeamNG can be a VRAM hog, and I only have 8GB.

 

Competitive BeamNG would go hard though ngl

 

Especially when your friends don’t have a wheel and barely play the game so you can show off your skills

 

I do wonder what sort of changes are being made to the lighting. If any of the devs wouldn't mind explaining I'm mostly concerned about the number of shadow casting light sources you can have which is the number one performance killer in current beamng. I'm amazed at how many lights Assetto Corsa with CSP can handle, wondering if we'll get to that level in Beam.

 

Mesh quality is a drop down list in vanilla, not a slider. Do you have any graphics mods installed that could be changing it?
