    hi, i have a suggestion for future updates.

    i like playing beamng with my friend because we both love it. we could play beammp but he needs to buy new pc for it so i found hat multiseat exist.
    we had lots of fun but only one thing bothered us. why its not splitscreen? when we wanted to go to differend places the camera would be really far. my suggestion is to make a splitscreen option

    this is one of those things that was requested quite a lot back when they first added multiseat.

    while it would be cool to have, the problem is that splitscreen requires rendering the whole game twice, which the underlying graphics engine doesn't support, and it'd take a massive amount of work in there to make it possible, and they don't see a massive amount of the audience using it.

    They did have this in the 0.25 changelog though. Splitscreen multiplayer could be one of the features this enables

    Also if you are a potato pc user (me) then you would need to have a really good pc like one of them YouTubers to have it run low to mid settings on split screen
