    I wanted to play BeamNG.drive with my siblings, but had no idea to use the recently introduced Multiseat mode of BeamNG.drive inthe 0.5 update. Please help!

    Plug in as many controllers as possible, open the scenarios marked as multiseat (little "4" in the title, also all are from bird's-eye-view), use each controller's steering input to move to select each of the four cars, play.

    i managed to fix the problem it the 2nd controller seems to only control 1 car so if i select a the other car then 2nd controller can use that car as long as i have not selected it to drive from first person...it works great losing the the other car is easy if your on on gridmap.... if there is a split screen mode that enables that be win win

    How do i do that though? There is nothing about multiseat in scenarios or freeroam, and nothing about in Options or Controls.

    Do you have the update? There are several new scenarios that feature multiseat mode.

    I had a problem with this too. It would do multi-seat but me and my brother could control both cars.

    Do you mean each of your could control both cars or that each of you could control the car you choose?
    Did you guys correctly selected what car to use here?


    I just checked myself and each device controls only the car it is binded to.
