    Hello everyone, I'm Jack Attak, and I've taken great interest in BeamNG Drive. The community here is amazing and I think it's great that there are so many downloadable community-made terrains being posted on these forums. The only problem is that it can be a bit hard to find the released ones through the mass of work in progress, on hold, and cancelled ones. I also love making YouTube videos, so I decided to start reviewing any BeamNG terrain that I could find and download on these forums. There are currently at lot (I'm getting too lazy to update the post every time) of episodes uploaded and I'm planning to record, render, and upload about 1 or more each day, since they are so easy to make, but don't count on that. The main idea of me doing this is not so I can be popular or famous or anything like that, It's to give reviews on community made terrains that people may not have found before, or might be wondering if they want to download them or not. Here's the link to my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqVmnaetEgqoB6U8TAVBLng Here's an actual screenshot of the notes I look at as I record an episode:
    Screen Shot 2013-10-12 at 6.24.18 PM.jpg These notes are only effective as of episode 12+, so you won't see them in episodes I've recorded with them as of right now.

    Here's the link to the reviews playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY5WIecRX_kt2bdTaWfq7VMfJM1ee_2cm

    It would be great if everyone who's reading this could leave some feedback and tell me what I should do for future episodes. Again, the main idea of this post is to help people decide weather or not they want to download a terrain and why.

    Your video should be longer, discover more in map, make a video montage of the best moments and allocate an rating (embed in the video) like a TV show.

    this is my suggestion

    thank you for taking the time to make video.

    Thanks for checking out my reviews! I've downloaded both your maps but I was working frantically to get all of the reviews I'd recorded up and didn't have time to review your maps. By the way I've done a review on Insanegaz's Insane Tests map so we'll see who gets a higher score based on my rating system (not that it matters all that much). :)

    Thank you! I've downloaded your map but didn't have time to review it yesterday. I might be able to review it tonight and get the video out a little later, although that will have to be after I take care of other real life matters and render and upload the rest of my map reviews.

    Thanks, but I edited my post above, and said I was fixing a few errors, if you open it now all you'll get it "No Texture" on lots of objects. Tonight it will be fixed, everything and some more new things. Btw, love your videos, your doing great!

    Oh, sorry about that. I'm already uploading the review but I'll be sure to make changes to the video description and update the rating to what it would be if the map didn't have any no material signs since you are fixing them.

    Great videos! But as other people have said, you should explore the maps a bit more! On my Desert Road map, you missed the best part, the Demo Derby Arena! and you also missed the trees on Brutal Slope :) This gives me some ambition to make more maps!

    Hey, thanks. I've had your map installed for a while but sadly it doesn't work at all. There's a huge black void around all sorts of floating no material signs. I could review it, but it would probably get a negative rating. Tell me if you manage to fix it and I'll review it!

    Dude now that you made these reviews, I think you should start doing people's mods. Make a video of the mods members have for download and do that same thing, but with the mods. I think its a good ideal.;)
