Hi BeamNG team, First of all, I want to say that the nature, graphics, and overall physics engine of BeamNG.drive are absolutely amazing. You've created one of the most realistic driving simulations ever. That said, I think the water physics feel a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the game. For example, when vehicles enter water, there’s only a splash sound and some basic visual effects. It doesn’t feel like the water is truly reacting to the vehicle. The water often looks like it doesn't belong to the same visual quality as the rest of the game — especially when graphics are set to high. It stands out in an unrealistic way. I believe it would greatly improve immersion if water had: - More realistic wave and ripple effects when vehicles interact with it - Better water displacement and dynamic response - Shallow puddles or road-side water that reacts when tires pass through A more advanced water system would match the high standards of the rest of the game and make wet terrain driving much more enjoyable and immersive. Thanks for considering this improvement. Keep up the great work! ☺️
The water also seems to not slow down the vehicle once in the water like it should. With moon gravity, I can jump into the ocean and bounce of the floor and back out in the air. That seems... unlikely.
They're working on tires right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if they start making a amphibious vehicle to experiment with the new tire stuff under pressure and see how the model holds up. The wydra feels WAY too light to be floating that high out of the water. It just doesnt feel right. Does anyone else agree? --- Post updated ---
