Airbag

Hello, I would like to know when the airbags will be available in beamng?

 

yeah but they’re pretty neat anyway

 

The official BeamNG team announced that airbags will NOT be coming to BeamNG officially due to some users having low-end computers that may lag if airbags are installed or even possibly crash the game.
Airbag modifications have not been made yet, although progress was made by JsZ, although he was banned by moderators for something he didn't do.
Someone by the name of alex_modz claims to have made progress on airbags, although much of the community thinks that JsZ helped him make the airbags, or he stole the airbags.
Overall, I think it's unlikely that airbags will be coming to BeamNG, although let's have some hope.

 

I may start making a mod for airbags after I finish my latest mod

 

Does the team forget that you can just make it so the feature can be turned off?

 

Not quite sure, I only took the "although he was banned by moderators for something he didn't do" from his community post, I will link it HERE.

LMAO, I was thinking the same thing.

 

Or maybe they don't want to waste a lot of time and effort into a useless feature?

 

it's not useless when it's highly requested by pretty much everyone on here.

 

Not useless, you mean EVERYONE WANTS IT. Literally.

 

everyone wants it, so it’s not useless.

 

in this case I think it would be a good idea to put it as an activatable option or in rooms like the mattress

 

I may use the part of the mattress as a base for the mod, just change it a little so the airbags aren't floral, stained messes.....

 

So high demand on a feature that would serve no actual purpose magically doesn't make it useless now? If that is the mindset of both of you i highly suggest you three to shut up in this case.

 

First of all, it makes the game more realistic. You never see a car in real life that crashes and has no airbags, right? And there's a BIHS crash hall, designed to imitate the IIHS' crash facility IRL. Such a high demand feature does serve a purpose, in this case making the game more realistic. If you're saying that the feature is of no use, and your calling us rude when all we're trying to do is correct the man, I highly suggest YOU shut up.

 

''Boohoo! I require more immersion and realism on my car game so i'll defend my statement of why the devs should add a useless feature with the same flawed argument everyone uses!''

Give me 10 reasons why the devs should bother adding a bag of air coming out of a steering wheel other than ''realism and immersion so feature now has purpose!''

 

airbags would be funny for like 5 minutes then you'd eventually forget about their existence. They have literally zero purpose other than "looking cool and realistic" -which is a debatable argument- , and they have little to no entertainment value. IMO they are a waste of development time

 

literally any production car pre 1987 upto late 90s optionally
