    Since there is so much hype about having realistic engine simulation in the game, maybe it would be possible to add "torque twist" to the game, especially for semi trucks. That is the twisting motion you see when a vehicle accelerates (mostly visible in a semi truck when the engine tries to turn the drive-shaft to turn the rear wheels while accelerating.) You can also see this with most car's engine blocks when revving. I know it was possible in ROR to animate things to simulate the torque twist (KME Predator firetruck) but maybe it could be more realistic in beamng.

    An example I found:

    Yes, this is planned, and quite easy to implement :)

    I figured it would be if you decided to do it, and that's great that you're actually doing it!

    My dad had a wooden boat that had massive torque twist. The more you throttled it the more sideways you went, then when you had it wide open you could reach out and drink the lake water, which I never did, or anyone else. Just an exaggeration, don't judge me.
