Hey guys I'm new! Anything I should know?

Hey guys! Just bought beamng from steam during the sale! I am really glad I finally bought it as I have been watching YBR play the game for many years now!

Is there any information you think I should know about?

Any mods I should get?

And controls that I need to know?

 

Welcome. Have some cookies and milk I stole from Walmart. I recommend checking the rules around here. I don't want you to end up like some CERTAIN people

remeber, if you see something that you don't fancy (likely other people won't either) just report the post and move on, there was once a troll on here and he made us post 11 pages in that thread (20 posts per thread, you can do the math) but anyways, enjoy your time here

 

made a quick edit for you

 

Welcome ! Enjoy your stay.

 

Woah what was that about haha

 

hey,
I am new here as well. I just got the game during the steam Summer Sale.
I am 15 years old, and usually busy with exams and school work etc. and don't have much free time, although I love cars, anything mechanical, and obviously video games.
I was thinking about making a mod of this vintage car(s) that I love (1960's Plymouth Valiant R & S Series), and I understand it will be heaps of work.... although I don't know exactly how much work.
I was hoping someone could let me know exactly what goes into a mod, the average time it takes, and the programs I would need (and how much they cost), so I know whether I should try and give it a shot, or not waste my time and set myself up for failure.
(sorry if this is posted in the wrong place, being new its confusing where to post and the rules around here)

Thanks if anyone can help

 

Welcome to the forums.

Very wrong place for modding questions though. Generally for modding, you only need a modeler and a text editor. Recommended here are Blender (Modelling) and Notepad++ (Text editor.)

Here is the content creation part of the wiki for helping with modding: https://wiki.beamng.com/Content_Creation

Time: Depends on what you are doing. For a vehicle from scratch, could take 10+ hours to a few days. Varies greatly. Add-ons: Small: A few minutes; Big: Probably a couple of hours.

 

thanks for the reply I think once I get more used to everything I might give it a shot

 

I'd say it takes way longer than that. With no previous experience and limited time a vehicle from scratch could take months.

 

I recommend equip yourself in analogue game controller like gamepad or steering wheel. Playing on keyboard is not comfortable nor precise

 

Yeah I'm using an Xbox controller but it doesn't have the tumbler.

Am I missing out on a.cool feature?

 

Hi @MattL600 , I'm mms. moo.

 

What does mms mean?

 

well, technically it means "multi media message". but really I just typed 3 random letters into the keyboard.

 

Welp, that's pretty dark.

Anyways, got any mods to reccomend?
