Missions on map (time trials) is broken. From main menu missions launch and works.
Mods does not affect to this.
p.s Map does not affect to this too, this problem on all maps, which has time trials.

 

Have you guys notice that they also added gradual gauges needles? pretty cool detail that i asked for some time lol

 

I love the bracket racing addition, but I would love to see it work like real bracket racing, where the cars go at separate times that reflect their dial in time. True bracket racing is being the first to the finish line while also NOT going faster than your dial in time.

 

Hold up, you're telling me you have to finish the race first, but not before your timer runs out?

...

... I'm having a headache trying to make sense of this.

 

Reading the Wikipedia page, the way it works is each racer "dials in" a target time, and the difference between the two times determines the slower car's headstart. The target time is not meant to be beaten; doing so generally results in disqualification.

 

i have been thinking this would be a good addition to the game for a bit now and i am going to share it in the hopes someone also thinks so and it could be added

a check box in the repo page for the game to not load the configs for that mod in the vehicle selector
there are a couple mods i like but they add so many configs that it clogs up the config selector with stuff i will never use

 

The racing industry is weird AF.

Ah, a fellow TV Tropes enjoyer.

 

Yes, it is a bit more complicated sounding, but in practice is pretty simple.

Car 1 Dial In: 15 seconds
Car 2 Dial in: 10 seconds

The countdown lights start 5 second earlier for car 1, which would allow both cars to reach the finish at the same time. You want to win the race, while getting the best reaction time and crossing the line as close to the dial in as possible. Breaking out (going faster than dial in) is an automatic loss because it prevents someone from putting a slower dial in for an advantage. This system allows two very different cars to fairly compete in a drag race.

I believe Beam.NG is not only a great platform for drag racing, but especially bracket racing. With all the different setup combinations and mods, thousands of different configurations of cars could race against each other.

Video that helps explain:

 

When using a solid front axle with 15x9s on 6-lug hubs or 17x9s on 8-lug hubs, the steering linkage breaks on its own. Both the Roamer and the D series have this problem. The other wheels seem to work fine. Tested in safe mode.

 

Yep, just noticed it!! So cool!!

Even with all the troubleshooting and trying in safe mode: the Utah mission "Delivery Destruction" (Cannon vs big rig) glitches and the truck never gets going, marking you as successful. Anyone else?

 

Anybody else experiencing being unable to exit the World Editor no matter what you do? I've had this issue since 0.33 and the only way to fix this is by restarting LUA with Ctrl+L

 

Hey guys
Found a weird col mesh at the new dirt track next to WCUSA's race track. The issue is at the metal barriers allowing us to go onto the dirt track from the race track:

Cheers

 

Is it just me or does the AI seem less capable now than it ever has? I am not sure what exactly the issue is (the pathing and AI in general for this game has always been bad but it seems to get worse with every update) but I keep having to deal with AI cars regularly crashing into each other even when I only have 4-5 AI vehicles spawned at a time. It seems especially bad whenever the AI "flees". It will regularly choose to drive into on coming traffic and crash immediately after fleeing even if the correct lane is entirely free of cars and this usually happens within 30 seconds or less of the AI fleeing. Or it will just ram into the back of traffic in the correct lane. Almost as if the fleeing AI has the goal of crashing into other cars sometimes as it will usually accelerate into these crashes rather than making any effort to avoid them. The fleeing AI also seems to never flee at speeds more than 10 mph over the speed limit after the last update which makes chases very boring for the 20 seconds that they usually last. Also I am not personally a fan of the new auto siren system that seems to happen whenever an AI vehicle flees the player in a police vehicle and there does not seem to be a way to turn this feature off. And I sometimes will run into a bug where if the AI is "stopped" then "started" the game will double the number of AI vehicles that are spawned which then requires the AI to be deleted and respawned to get back to the proper number of AI vehicles that should be spawned according to the settings. Idk... There is a lot that this game does well but dealing with the AI is starting to get frustrating personally and is making the game less fun for me especially because it almost seems to get worse with every update. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed soon.

 

nvm

 

будут ли исправления, которые помогут игре, которой 9 лет, работать на 16 гигабайтах ОЗУ? Я получаю свои 75 кадров в секунду с полным абсолютным модом на картофель и томат

 

Working fine for me

 

A part of the exhaust for the T-series cabover sleeper cab is missing. The aero sleeper is correct, I included photos for reference.

 

Here's a temporary fix, open up the file lua/ge/extensions/editor/api/object.lua scroll down to line 1138 and replace this block of code:

Code:

  if obj and name then
    obj:setName(Sim.getUniqueName(name))
  end

with this:

Code:

  if obj and objname then
        local name,id = string.match(objname, "([^%d]+)([%d]+)")
        name = string.gsub(objname, id, "")
        id = tonumber(id)
        obj:setName(name .. (id + 1))
  end

It's not perfect as it'll break in some edge cases like if you have the same number that's at the end of the name somewhere else, it'll remove them. Also you need to keep copy the newly created object to get increasing numbers, if you just keep pasting the first object it doesn't work. Still works fine for me so I thought I might as well share the code.

Unfortunately Sim.getUniqueName is probably a function that's hidden in a DLL as I can't find it in a lua file otherwise I would have just grabbed code from 0.33 which was working perfectly afaik, not sure why this was changed. So use this at your own risk because it doesn't do any check to see if the name is truly unique, it just finds numbers at the end of a name and does +1 to that number for the new object name.
