    On the beamng channel you can find videos of the game on Cryengine. why did the game stop using Cryengine? The performance was that bad? or why?

    Various reasons.
    I think the most relevant one is that CryEngine wasn't using the same licence as now.
    It was paid, and it was very expensive. Too expensive for a startup company with limited funds.

    Torque3D was the best solution back then.

    I know this is stupid, but I personally think that the game would be so much better if it was transfered back over to cryengine (i know that's an insane amount of work to change EVERYTHING) but I would wait the year or two for it. It's well known that that won't happen but, that would be so awesome!

    This should be valid for any other game engine.
    3 Years in development and a lot of effort later.
    Changing engine now is suicide.
