BeamNG_DRIVE the body physics?

Will the cars in the game be like this????

i have BeamNG-DRIVE and i love the game so much but i think that the soft body physics are a little to ....floppy and i also like how the cars in that game fall apart like peices of the car come off of the car thats nice.

Keep in mind I bought a BeamNG-DRIVE account and i love to play it it is amazing and has a lot of potential and i cant wait to see what the dev's are ganna come up with.
i cant wait to see the game in the mere future.

 

Real cars ARE floppy so the way NCG simulates them is quite inaccurate and probably uses precalculated damage such as GTA IV, V, etc.

 

The physics engines could not be more different between the two games, but I've been wondering about this myself though. Will more detachable parts be added to cars? like in a head-on crash, if miscellaneous engine bits would fly everywhere, would be kinda cool. I'm not talking about the particle systems, I mean actual simulated objects, like you would see at the scene of a real life accident.

I could've posted this in suggestions, but it's more of a question than a suggestion really.

 

That's all I wanted to know.

 

Why is the game named BeamNG-DRIVE anyways??? just wonderin :3

 

Let's split the word on two pieces: Beam|NG

Beamning means calculating and NG is new generation

Something like that.

 

Because it's about driving? BeamNG is the name of the physics engine, and "BeamNG drive" it makes me think that the engine could be used for other purposes besides car physics.

 

Beam
All the soft body objects in the game are made out of Nodes and Beams

NG
I am assuming that this stands for Next Generation because it is the second beam physics engine of its kind, the first being RoR (used in game play) that I am aware of anyways.

Drive
I can't imagine that this is any more then just because you 'Drive' around

 

Hi everyone,

I used the search function in the Forum for about 20 minutes until I found this Topic which seems to be the newest one considering my suggestions.

First of all, I have to say that this physics engine is awesome and it's a lot of fun testing all kinds of crash situations there are. Thanks for the great effort.

But, like bryce said, I also get the feeling that there not enough parts to fall of. I'm not talking about engine parts, that would be too much. But some small parts either don't even exist or take extremly hard crashing to rip them off the car. With not existing parts I mean lights, door handles and so on (by now it's just a texture). The other parts are the wipers or the inside rear view mirror for example.

I know, it sounds like I'm looking for even the smallest piece that doesn't look realistic to justify my criticism. But when you crash a car and something is still there where it shouldn't be it looks strange somehow. I guess you heard of the "uncanny valley" phenomenon.

This also applies to the windshield. To me, it looks like that the engine calculates the damage of the windshield similar to body parts like the hood for example and is fixed to the main body of the car which is obviously not realistic at all.

The last thing I would like to add is the current calculation of the pillars. At the moment you can't rip off the roof of the car when driving under a low obstacle like the hovering platforms in the test grid level. Maybe there is a chance to make the pillars detachable from the rest of the body or change the roof into a separate part?

I don't know if you guys are already working on that. I would just like to know, if something of this could be even possible or not to make beamNG.drive even better than it is by now.

Keep up the good work. Can't wait for the next update.

Oh, and if you're wondering about some weird mistakes, I'm from Germany and try my best.

 

While this thread is bumped, I think that BeamNG could be BeamNodeGame, possibly. BeamNG rolls off the tongue much easier IMO.

 

It's Beam Next Generation. At least that's what the community has come to accept.

 

it is Beam Next Generation, as has been stated many many times

 

Oh okay, I am unsure if I was around when that was thought about.

 

BeamNodesGame was my idea...Just sayin'.

 

Beam Node Generation is what i tought it was
