Hi guys new face here.

Hey it's tatsu,

Love the game, am having a blast, seconds after I'm in I think "just think of all the mods this will have!" come to the forum and find that a plethora of mods have already been made! in the vehicle section, in the terrain section, and in the mods section!


Is there already some form of racing multiplayer mod ?


And is there a mod megapack or a modlist of some sort so that check out all the good stuff?


is there a speed indicator mod yet ?

Any particular mod that stands out with great popularity with the community?

 

There is a speedometer mod somewhere in the forums. I haven't tried it myself but I've seen no complaints on it.

 

Hi, welcome to the forums!
For the speedometer there is a mod about that, just use the search bar on the top right. There really isn't a particular mod that we like, hence it is just a matter of opinion. (The Caddillac is awesome if you wanna check that out). And no, there isn't multiplayer YET, but there is A.I.

 

Check out Drowsysam. He's made some pretty awesome mods.

 

thx guys!

yea the Cadillac, I already have. I've been browsing furiously as you might have guessed

and I did find this speedometer. though I've seen a better one in some screenshots, I'll keep looking, hoping to find some nice maps too. downloaded three planes! I had no idea there would already be planes! Is the flight hacked in or is the lift really calculated through the engine's physics?

 

Physics, it's what this game is all about. (crashing too, if you want)

 

so Aerodynamics really help a car? (BTW this is nuts?) Any Lotuses or Lamborghinis or concepts around here?
I've configured the speedometer to what i want and i see that i can train AI partners or that they can chase me down but how do I span them in?

 

I don't know about the Lotuses or Lambos around here but for the A.I. here's a SBS (Step By Step) on how to enable it.
1. Press F11 to go to the world editor.
2. Go to View.
3. Click BeamNG Vehicle.
4. Select the vehicle you want. e.g. ''pickup''
5. Tick the box that says IsAIControlled on the bottom.
6. Press Control+T.
7. Select the mode you want. e.g. ''chase player''
8. ???
9. Profit.
10. Just needed to make a 10th step and you are reading this.

 

Jesus H christ this has been an endeavor, I spawned in cars but never got to the stage of interacting with them. they just kept shooting into the air or falling from really high up when I spawned them. Most of the time they'd just leave them map instantly or trash my own vehicle.

No alot of fun was had here. And now when I load BeamNG up my car won't move and shows inaccurate speed. Did I fuck something up? ://

 

Most probably.. Just run the updater, and force an update, it should fix your problems. You will have to reinstall some stuff though (custom speedo)

 

Just spawn them, and once they land, no matter how torn up or in how many pieces,, press ctrl-r. This will repair you car and set the spawn to where the car was when you pressed ctrl-r. You can move your car around and do this as many times as you want if you wish to change the cars spawn. Once you get your car all situated, press ctrl-t and I don't remember exactly the ai ui, but it's pretty se;f explanatory, and you may have to switch between the cars a few times for it to work.

 

ok thanks for the tips guys. I fixed it and I had some fun with chase mode but the ai cars died too quickly. I was trying to get a race result with chase.

does one of you have the link to the waypoint mod I saw? (I didn't download it an now regret not getting it, I can no longer find it)

There ya go.

 

thank you. I'm finding I've delved all I could in the vehicle section are there any vehicles that aren't posted in the vehicle section?

some vehicles I saw in videos (like the Porsche 911 GT) are not present on the forums.

 

Because some are Russian Mods that people make illegally out of video game meshes (copyright reasons) and some like the Porsche are deleted by the creators. (dont ask me why)

 

OK. I've been having problems with realism since the beginning, for some reason the Ibishu Covet is the car I have that handles the most realistically and sadly the civetta bolide, I never wanna use because it can't get any grip to the road whatsoever and it can't drive straight under any circumstance, If you press forward on the empty grid map it'll proceed to do burns, whereas normally to obtain this result you'd have to pull the parking break turn the wheels to maximum and THEN press the gaz pedal to maximum.

My fear is that they give cars no weight or grip and that actual fast cars be useless to obtain speed.

I know that normally you'd wouldn't get this weird "instant max RPM" on the wheels and that the traction from the contact to the ground would normally keep the wheels from gaining RPM for free and that probably this is down the road of updates somewhere.


but my general feel is that traction isn't there. Even when you're skidding sideways you should be slowing down much faster than is the case currently, and the cars shouldn't weightlessly toss into the air. I know it's more fun :> ....but it takes away from realism and immersion.

What are your favorite vehicles in terms of how they respond to the terrain?

 

In bold.

 

Hmm ok. cheapest online I found for an xbox 360 controller was 19€ with shipping. I've never been a console gamer so I rather not, I rather use a wheel and pedals. I think I'll invest in one. I'm bidding on a thrustmaster.

There could also be a way to bind the different levels of gas to the keyboard, no? I have the offroader D-15 but I guess that's not the one?

also, is it possible to download the stock cars? because i want to try the civetta bolide unmodded, maybe the mods gave it an overpowered engine.

 

For unmodded cars just run the updater.

 

Ok. Hold on. You seem like a pretty decent guy so I 'm gonna go easy on you here. My first point. You can't expect to give a supercar full throttle, stopped, and expect it to just bite. Yes it does spin out a little much, but they have improved the tires massively on all the cars for the next update. And Gabe started to get irritated at how all the people kept complaining about it. So I'd just keep my mouth shut. Even after the update, don't expect to be able to just floor it and not get some wheel spin. Oh, and you don't have to use the handbrake to get a drift going in real life, especially in powerful rear wheel drive car. And the cars bounce realistically. So. Yeah.
