The game is called Beam.NG Drive not Beam.NG Fly. So probably no vanilla planes.

 

Vehicle config saving is broken in the old UI, and the new UI removes the top bar.
I made a 200bx custom config a couple of days ago that has now disappeared because of the remaster. It was for the flood escape map, which involves tuning for bumps and jumps. I did this by switching to the environment tab, switching the gravity between zero, earth and jupiter to quickly simulate certain movements and observe in slow motion.
Now I have to switch between UI versions too. Every. Time. I. Make. A. Change. To. Any. Custom. Build.....

Please let me be able to save my configs without forcing me to switch to the new UI, and then forcing me to switch back to the old UI to change tabs.

 

Are you playing in career mode? If not make sure you have the "custom configurations" box checked on.

 

Wdym no place to drive them ? Also the game is getting a game engine change so I wouldn't expect any graphics change soon

 

fix this issue when V8 is applied, its literally unplayable

 

No place to drive them like a real full-scale semi. Those go between towns and factories too. Often driving hundreds of miles at a time. Not just around town, or down a long road with no major destinations.

 

No, freeroam and multiplayer freeroam. The save button is disabled in the old UI (and hitting enter also doesnt work)

Also, what happened to the widebody bumpers for the 200bx? The widebody panels no longer line up with any of the bumpers

 

water splash sounds don't sound heavy enough
it sounds more as if something was skimming across the water rather than being dropped into it

 

Well, that seems like an oversight. Does the new one save your config at all?

 

For example, delivering a shipment from point A to point B. On the map WC USA, which in recent updates is emphasized, the developers can extend the highway on both sides, about 20 kilometers, to do something like a forest and it would be nice, at the end of these highways or even in the middle to make buildings like warehouses / ports, in general some organizations from which you need to deliver goods to the city and vice versa. These trips will already last about 30 minutes, which is quite good compared to what we have now.
The game already has such experience with the highway on the map Johnson Valley, but there the highway essentially leads to nowhere, and the basis of the map - the desert, so there is nowhere to deliver cargo, which is not so interesting

 

I found a literally unplayable bug on the street tuner BX (shifter is auto but transmission is manual)

 

The simplified traffic version seems to have gotten more attention to detail than the selectable configs. Tuner config from the vehicle selection menu on the left, simplified traffic tuner config on the right

 

The johnson valley map and Utah map (IE Desert maps), both are more focused on offroading and windy road cruising than long-distance highway driving that is suitable for semi trucks. Like I said a Mid-west or Great Plains, USA map would be great for these.

A midwest USA map could house both a long highway and towns and factories, but it is also a beautiful environment and has a bunch of windy mountain roads that would be great to drive on. It could be based in Wyoming since that state has both mountains, plains, and a good amount of small towns, that could also have factories for delivery missions. It would also represent part of the USA that is not represented. The only parts shown are the East, West, coast, and Utah. It may sound like I'm tooting my own horn, but the USA has many different landscapes that are unique and would fit the semi-truck bill nicely.

 

Yes

 

New update is my hard drive catching fire

 

Yeah, that would be cool

 

Like I also said about Wyoming being a good location, The towns out there all have a unique flavor and there are a good amount of towns out in Wyoming, not to mention a major state park, long highway-worthy plains, and windy mountain roads. Not to mention the natural aesthetic of the area and "Devil's Tower". It has all the right genes to make a top-notch trucking and cruising map.

 

Please let me disable this warning:
I can see that there already is a car with that name, although this was a lot more obvious in the old UI because it filtered the configs by name:



I prefer the old UI. It is functional, more pleasant to the eyes, easier to quickly scan/find what I am looking for, it used to be (more) functional like with the config name filtering, it fit more information on the screen and was aligned better. Oh, AND IT DIDNT CHANGE THE ORDER OF THE SLIDERS IN THE TUNING MENU EVERY TIME YOU MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT!


If you need someone to look over your updates to find stuff you clearly need to do before you push them to everyone, send me a message, I'm not that expensive.
Alternatively: let go of the imaginary deadlines and don't add new "features" to the game unless the person that made that feature is confident that it is ready to be included. Do the marketing once the product is done, instead of the other way around.

In summary: the only reason I am using the new UI is because I am forced to use it if I want to save a config. Not a single other reason to use it over the old UI. If it ever becomes the default instead of the current UI, for the love of the game, please let me opt out!

 

first of all I would like to say that beamng is my favourite simulator, and my favourite rally game
the only 2 things i would like to see upgraded are main menu and replay. in my opinion something like 'content manager' for asseto corsa wold be perfect. what i have in mind is a menu from which is easier to select track and car, like a list of all tracks, with some filters for tamac or gravel for example. same goes for cars. we, people with wooden pc's, are strugling with the menu.
and replay options... you have to basicly record replay, but i would really love to have it by default, at least after the finished track.
thank you for new update and keep up the good workd! greeting from serbia!
