Idea Bundles by me are just a whole bunch of ideas thrown at your face from a screen. My thoughts can very from all over the place. I do apologize if I become unrealistic with my ideas or off topic. This forum post is for people who make mods, and the developers themselves. Vehicles: I feel like more modern trucks could be a cool thing to be added into the game. We already have 2005 modeled cars, but I feel like newer trucks should be included as well. Most of us BeamNG.Drive players were caught off guard when they added the ETK, as its a modern car. So, adding truck modeled around a 2016 RAM 1500 or a 2017 F-150 would be sweet. Also, a thought of what the developers or mod developers could add is another T-Series Semi-Truck design. As it wouldn't be used as much, it would still be nice to have of variation to your usual T-Series Semi-Truck. Trees: Yes- trees. Sometimes trees are a pain, but if the trees were to have more realism, it'd be a nice factor to have. If you're going off the road and there is a tiny tree, you may hit it, and it'll stop you directly in place, and I don't like this. I wish smaller trees were to snap, but damage your vehicle if you hit them. Of course, if you were to plow through multiple smaller trees in a row you'd lose momentum, but just having that would add some sugar and spice to the game. Particles: Just imagine if there were water particles. Falling into the water with water particles shooting into the air if you fell from a high distance, or driving through a big puddle and water particles flying off your tires. There already is a "water particle" for when you drive through water puddles, but it just doesn't look decent. It's just a ball of lightly colored water that goes up and disappears. Having those water particles just slide off your tires would be nice to see: That Annoying Pole: You always have that moment when you're doing a nice lap on the track, and then you burn out and hit a tree or a pole. As it may be annoying, there is a "bug" so to speak. Sometimes, if you walloped it enough, your car will go into the pole. Then you'd be stuck there with a pole coming out of yo ur hood. If there were any way to keep you from going into trees and poles, that would be a marvelous thing. What are your thoughts on this post? Any suggestions to my posts? Let me know, please!
Water physics are hard to accurately simulate due to the nature of water molecules but there could be a basic water spraying effect that generically has water shooting up from the sides of the vehicle when it drives through a puddle. For trees, that would be a little difficult to simulate. Using a jbeam, it would be very laggy, and then jbeams don't even support breaking apart from itself.
Agreed. It would honestly be a nice mod for people who have buff computers and wanna have some more realism.
I want after/back fire on the exhaust on high powered vehicles or turbocharged engines myself. Feel that its a small detail that could mean a lot.
