Current Map-Version: 2404 (Thread updated: 01.04.2024) MysteryManGER proudly presents: Car Jump Arena 2024 Hey everybody, I am working on this map since october 2022. It's a sequel to the first „Car Jump Arena“ map released back in 2016. This map is completely made from scratch and exclusive for BeamNG.Drive. No conversion from another game and no remaster of the old map. Map informations: Location: It belongs to the fictional "Beamhausen" district in germany and it is located directly by the sea. Surrounded by beach, farms and forests. The map itself is an open world. You can reach all attractions and places by public roads or walking paths. The possibilities are endless. Go where you want, do what you want! Almost every building can be entered in walk mode. The garages, the hotel, the television tower, every grandstand, the stadium, camera towers, windmills...etc. Technical features: map size: 2048 x 2048 38 spawn points (more to come) 550+ custom static objects, buildings, props... with LOD and collision meshes animated objects, such as animated doors, windmills, funfair rides, helicopters, LED lights, etc. PBR textures (most) Map features: Car games and attractions related to cars: "Car Jump Ramp": Like a ski jump – but designed for cars. "High Striker": A 220m high tower awaits you and your car. Accelerate and try to get as high as possible. "Rail Master": Try to keep your balance on the rail as much as possible. Maybe you can make it to the other side! You can play this car game in two ways: first by total distance in meters (distance is displayed at the top left) - or by points. There are 9 fields under the rail. For every field you pass, the points double. When you fall off the rail, you get the points of the field you landed in (the points are shown in the top left). "Climb Master": Try to go as far up the incline as possible without first gaining speed. The numbers show the gradient in percent. It's not about speed, but about traction, engine power and gear ratio. Can you make it to the top? "Stage Climber": Here you have to try to climb as many stairs as possible. The first step is 5cm high. After each step it increases by one cm up to a height of 170cm. This game is divided into four stages. Can you make it to the top? "Stone Skipping": Speed up and try to drive as far as possible on the surface of the water before your car sinks. "Long Jump": Should be self explanatory. "Roof Slider": Try to slide as far as possible on your cars roof "SkyDome Adventure World": Your car and a big glass sphere. Sounds like fun. Woohoo! "Roll Over Contest": Drive down a short slope, choose one of the two ramps and try to roll over your car as many times as possible. That's what the audience wants to see there! Don't get dizzy! "Bobsleighing": Throw your car into the ice channel and try to get down safely! "Carkour": Once a year, the "Carkour Masters" takes place in the large Beamhausen Stadium . There are four stages - from easy to very difficult. It consists of various jumps, loops, balancing acts and descending walls. Can you reach the top of the stadium and call yourself a true "Carkour Master"? It's not about speed, it's about reaching the end. "Sea Gull Flying Days": How far can your car fly? Can you reach the end of 1500m? "Tower Diving": Jump from the 50 meter tower and try to collect as many points as possible. "Particle accelerator": With a diameter of approx. 6 kilometers and a circumference of almost 18 kilometers, the particle accelerator is ideal for testing the top speed or maximum range of your car. An ambient temperature of -30°C ensures that the motor does not overheat. There is currently no entrance from the outside, but you can spawn directly into the tunnel via the spawn point. The details on the tunnel walls have no collision. This isn't a mistake, it's intentional so that you can drive along the walls if you want. Points of Interest: "The Pier": Enjoy a day by the sea and explore the pier. Here you can have a delicious meal, enjoy the atmosphere and take beautiful pictures. "The Television Tower": Visit the television tower and enjoy the world from above. From the upper platforms you have a wonderful view over the arena and Beamhausen. If you want more action, you can try driving your car up the tower via the maintenance shaft. "The Park": Behind the television tower is the Olympic Park. Here you can unwind and watch the pedal boats on the lake. Or you can grab your dog and take him for a walk around the lake. "The Visitor and Informations Center": Here you can get a lot of useful information about this map. You can also see who designed the garages. "Parking Lots": There are a total of three larger parking spaces. Two are near the beach and one is around the stadium. Park your car there if you want to explore the attractions on foot. Or grab a racing car and try to drift between the grass verges and lamps. "Rock-Wars-Festival": DJ Axcess and the mashup community present the “Rock Wars Festival”. You can party here! There is also appropriate lighting at night! Note: The music is not directly integrated into the map for copyright reasons. But you can download it directly from the official Rock Wars website. A download link (QR code) and instructions on how to get the music into the game are available on the map right at the entrance to the festival. "Beam Southern Hotel": You have to be able to sleep somewhere after a tiring day at the arena. Lie by the pool, grab a cocktail and something delicious to eat and end the day relaxing. By the way... there are watches in the hotel lobby that allow you to change the time of day. "The German Highway (Autobahn)": The highway runs in a ring around the entire map. This is the quickest way to reach all attractions and POIs by car, easily and stress-free. And much, much more! Explore snack bars, merchandising stands, a funfair, wind turbines, garages, camera towers, funny sponsors, podium including trophies and confetti, watch the night sky and wait for shooting stars... and go in search of numerous Easter Eggs! Known issues & bugs: - You need at least the game version 0.31 to run this map properly. It may also run on lower versions, but I make no guarantees about that! Try at your own risk! - If you have the problem that the sun reflection flashes on glass surfaces - or you have poor performance with active night lights, then set the "Shader Quality" to "Low".

So glad you are working on the worthy sequel! For a suggestion, it could be cool to experiment with adding a car stunt arena like you had in the first one (except not underground)
I used to spawn props at the end of the ramp so cars can crash into them before jumping off, but they would usually fall over due to the surface being uneven. Could you somehow make it so they can stay straight if possible?
The original jump arena is probably one of the most recognized map mods that is instantly associated with BeamNG. I am excited to see this update, and surprised how well the old version has held up over the years. Neilogical must be HYPED for this considering how much of a staple this map has become on his BeamNG content.
I thought about that too...it will definitely be shortlisted. Like a real ski jump ramp, the take-off incline is about 10 degrees. If it were straight then the cars wouldn't have a proper trajectory and the landing would be very hard.
Hello, amazing progress and hard work! Just a few ideas and sketches that might help you in your work. - Ramp barrel for coups - Several ramps with different jump angles (for example 20°, 30°, 45° and so on) - Make the water flow strong and add a tape measure to measure which car can travel the maximum distance against the current of the river. - Ramp dead loop - Backflip ramp (half loop, which car will jump the farthest back) - Ramp for driving on two side wheels - Ramps with different surfaces (sand, ice, stones, etc., although there is such a ramp in the standard map) - Ramp, the angle that would gradually change when the car drives its wheels down to such a ramp when the car will go upside down. This is just what I could remember and maybe based on this you will come up with something new. (If something is not clear, I can explain any ramp to you or show you a similar ramp)
