    Hello Everybody :)
    I hope my english is not so bad ;)

    I think the vehicles in BeamNG are way to flippy.
    When I drive a van with around 80 miles into a curve, my vehicle flips around 5-6x.
    In reallife, the van is more sliding on the side, instead of fliipping ;)

    (If you know what I mean)

    Is this improveable? That would be nice:)

    Edit:/ Please don't understand wrong, I love the physics, but the vehicles should slide more(Not on the tires, on the chassic), instead of being sticky :)
    (Suggestion)

    I think that the stickiness adds to the sense of realism. Plus, if you make a sharp turn at 80mph in a van, it's gonna flip. If you do it in a full size sedan, it wont; and it doesn't in BeamNG, either. If you're from Rigs of Rods, then you're used to vehicles that slide too much, but that was the farthest thing from realistic. The tire model in Rigs of Rods was really bad, and much improved in BeamNG.

    The van in the game is not the same kind of van as whatever you drive in real life. Its design is based on a van that is known to flip easily:



    Static grip, ground clearance, and weight distribution of the H15 match that of a similar real-world van. Yes, the van in the video is loaded with fake "passengers", but it also flips a lot more easily than the H15 does. It only rolled a couple times in this video because it landed on such soft ground and it wasn't going very fast.

    As far as I know the H15, H45, and D15 Off-Road are the only vehicles in BeamNG that can flip on flat pavement, which I believe to be in line with reality. In some special circumstances you can flip the Covet Rally, but this is realistic; I've seen lots of footage of tiny hatchbacks with rally suspension and grippy tires flipping on asphalt hairpin turns.

    Even very modern vehicles are not immune to going on two wheels and flipping while turning (skip to 0:36):

    Oh okay, I see.

    I watched some russian car accidents on youtube yesterday, and that's why this topic is here :)
    But yes, I think it's depended on the car you are driving, so it's all okay.

    Thanks for the replys :)
