Dashcam Overlay UI
BeamNG.drive v0.39 affected some of the visual elements in this mod's settings. While some may appear broken (for example, audio selectors), everything should still work as intended. I am unable to provide a fixed version at the moment.
Features:
- Different dashcam models:
- BeamCam
- Flyer, provided by Flyer Dashcam Alliance Inc., a fictional dashcam company created by @B727ClassicFlyer
- Professional (no logo)
- Custom: use your own logo, font and model name
- Realistic GPS delay
- 6 beeping sounds and 3 voice alerts to choose from (or use your own audio)
- Play audio via G-Force detection or manually via keybind

- Real-time coordinates calculation
- G-Force meter
- Current in-game time and configurable date
- Orange theme
How to use:
If you want to revert to the standard UI:
- Press the Esc key to access the menu.
- Navigate to the UI Apps section and click Add app.
- Select Dashcam Overlay from the list.
- You can now adjust the size of the overlay to your preference and rearrange or remove other apps as desired. Once finished, click the Back button twice to return.
- To access options, click the dashcam logo
in bottom left corner
- Note that you may need to adjust the font size in the overlay options based on your configuration.
- Go to UI Apps.
- Click the red button to reset back to the default layout.
Tips & Tricks:
- Use Relative camera (default key binding is '5 ') for a dashcam-like perspective. Use WASD keys to position the camera.
- Adjust the Field of View by binding keys for Zoom In and Zoom Out options.
- You can temporarily hide the overlay by binding a key to the Hide UI option (useful for showcasing car damage after the crash by using external cameras). However, note that this will also hide BeamNG's own Settings window - you will need to press that key again to show the UI back. Remember the key you bound, or you will need to restart the game.
Troubleshooting:
- If audio is too quiet, make sure to increase 'Other' volume category in BeamNG.drive Audio settings.
- If you encounter unusual problems, delete config.json file located in BeamNG.drive User Folder\settings\dashcam-overlay\
