Traffic Sunburst Sport Bumper doesn't have foglight glass or foglight support, just the foglight.

 

d-series suspension problem. whenever i put lifted, offroad, or heavy duty suspension on the d series it pulls to the left. cant fix in safe mode, cache cleaning, or anything.

 

I believe you have to trim the steering in the tuning menu

 

thank you sorry i forgot

 

Also, another thing I notice while watching Slaptrain play the West Coast USA map, this area punctures the tires,



The model in question is canal_batchingplant.dae, it's colmesh_1 has some open edges that are protruding through itself, causing them to puncture the tyres, just need to move them down slightly.



(Just showing with canal_batchingplant2.dae I quickly exported with colmesh_1 fixed)

Believe I found another bug here, the ductwork for the radiator of the MR Turbo Covet is half missing.

 

Double Swing Gate prop appears dark while the regular gate is normal
(Deep cleaned cache, disabled all mods, safe mode etc.)

 

Still awaiting a response as to whether this is intentional or not. We have nearly 1,000 miles of roads in current and upcoming projects that will need reworked if this behavior is intentional. No mention of this in the .32 changelog. No mention of this in the "Known Issues" page. We would REALLY appreciate this issue being acknowledged in some form by BeamNG staff. Thank You.

 

Noticable on italy.

 

Offset groundcover is also an issue on many of the base-game maps, I don't think it was an intended change (Hirochi Raceway, Automation Test Centre, and East Coast for example).
However, West Coast USA (their one true baby when it comes to maps) does not have this issue so far as I can tell.

In my experience, getting something onto the "Known Issues" list is next to impossible.
All of the issues I have reported in regards to the BX and the Covet (as small as they are) haven't been either added to the list, silently fixed, or at the very least acknowledged.

 

Maybe they're ignoring them because of their smallnes.

 

Maybe they're ignoring them because I don't put "#literallyunplayable" and make a meme out of it like all of the very small typos that keep getting reported.
I get it, typos are easier to fix, but just a small amount of "we are aware of the blatant quality issues now because you reported them" would be great.

 

I made a thread in the bug forum. Perhaps someone can bump it.

 

I could have made a joke, but I won't.

 

I think you're asking for too much.

 

Maybe.

 

I don't think I am, I would just like some form of acknowledgement from at least one BeamNG staff member and maybe a little clarification as to why there are so many issues with the meshes of these (possibly outsourced) models. I'm making perfectly reasonable observations and pointing them out in the vain hope that they'll be seen and eventually fixed because in my opinion they singlehandedly drag the quality of the game down by a fair amount.

Please tell me where the line of "asking too much" is so that I may scale back my bug reports and ask for "just enough". I'm sure a game that is fixed "just enough" will be very enjoyable

 

The line is precisely at the beginning of your bug report, lol.

If it's something about the engine, maps, or less frequently vehicle functions, they may take a look at it when it's severe enough. If it's something regarding vehicle models or textures, it's marked as non-issue/won't fix the moment anyone acknowledges it (provided they actually read those). It's been like that ever since they started (allegedly) outsourcing models.

I don't even care to really notice those issues anymore – even in the stuff I work on, like the bumpers on my BX – because I know that devs can't care less about those tiny little mistakes there, so why should I? And I'd love to be proven otherwise.

 

Once I notice an issue I either forget immediately, or it haunts me till it's gone.

 

I will admit, I also use the same thought process and it makes me feel better about my own work when is isn't perfect - it's just "on par with what the developers did" which is fantastic because it means I can be horribly lazy in some areas and it still fits with the base game assets.

But, I also have this overwhelming urge to just jump in and fix all of the little mesh and UV issues myself, because I know I totally can and I'll do a solid job despite how amateur I consider myself. I literally want BeamNG to hire me - completely free even, I will volunteer if that's what it takes - just so I can do exactly that.
