Does anyone know how they do these realistic-style dashcam crashes? (in BeamNG)

    I'm not sure if a question like this has already been answered before, but sorry if it is, I checked google for a similar question in the forums and I can't find anything. Anyway, I would like to say, How do they do the dashcam-style crashes like the ones from real life? I mean, check this video from a youtuber named serginko. The title is called "Dashcam Crashes - BeamNG. Drive vs. Real Life [Comparison]".

    I mean how does he do this? I've tried but I don't know how to. I think he uses a custom mod that he controls one car from the viewpoint of another, but ultimately, i don't know. Does he use seperate controllers to control each individual car? Either way, the attention to detail is so amazing, I am amazed myself, and I want to learn how this is done.

    You have to use "multiseat mode" which is in the games settings, which allows you to control one car with a keyboard and another car with a plugged in xbox controller.

    You also have to watch dashcam crash videos in YouTube and find a good one for recreating.

    You have to get the crash from beamng and the dashcam crash audio to line up, which means you may need to do multiple takes in beamng to get it just right.

    Ok thanks. I get it now. I do have a controller at home, so multiseat is possible to me.

    You could also try two vehicles set on random AI and spawn them on opposite sides of an intersection.
