Good points you raised! Not to mention I just tried career mode with the RLS overhaul add-on and I gotta tell ya, it's 100% a real game. Even seen some of the devs in the wild commenting on and complimenting the mod so it looks like they're enjoying it too, hopefully getting new ideas to flesh out the base game.

I think its a long way off being a proper game.

Fun and games for 15minutes. Looks cool, damage model is great, everything else sucks. But maybe I'm just old 😅

So many years and all the updates, etc., for free. Don't really get how they can still work on this game for free? Hope they get a new round with new users so they get some cash in.😊

Have a Moza R9 and am having a hell of a time figuring out my wheel settings. Can anyone advise?

BeamNG is becoming MotorTown, and this is very cool, eventually this may evolve into a city system with dearlerships, npcs, jobs like thrash collecting, delivering other things such as construction materials and other kinds of vehicles like motorcycles with the side cabins, other machinery, planes..
Shoutout to MotorTown: Behind the Wheel, another insanely good game

Yah bless you all

i really wanna give career a proper go (in vr) but at the moment my pc cant handle it because it loads a LOT of traffic and you cant change the traffic settings like you can in freeroam. i really wish they just use highly simplified cars for traffic.

У меня есть PS5, я очень ждал возможности поиграть. И вот, спустя несколько лет – мечта сбылась.
Спасибо Всем за то, что поддерживали эту игру! Хорошего настроения! 🙂

It still looks weird when you see nobody ath the wheel.Specialy for me who only plays racing games in VR and cockpit view.

Does it support DD FFB wheels ?
Does it support VR ?
If the answer to both is yes, then it will be in my library before the day ends. Thanks

BeamNG is by far the most fun driving game! I only started playing last year when 0.34 came out, but I’ve already accumulated 2,000 hours!

I just updated BeamNG game last night, so it will be interesting to jump back into the game and see what it has to offer now.
Thanks for your great video highlights of the new version. Take care.

If all games would give us more brand free cars we would finally have damage models in other games too.
But people only care about real brands

I've been playing this game since 2015-2016 and I fell in love with it from that moment on; it became my favorite game. I was a teenager, I didn't have a job or anything, and I had to play it by downloading it for free from the internet. Obviously, as soon as I could afford to buy things for myself, I bought it. Now, 10 years later, I see everything they do, not just the video game itself, but the entire studio behind it, since these people want to simulate, not do programming calculations to get realistic results. I'm really hoping this company goes public someday; I'd invest all my money in it.

Love this game, my personal favorite after iracing. Boggles my mind that such an amazing game can also be so cheap. A gaming wheel also opens beam up a lot, makes handling the cars way more fun. To anybody who considers themselves a fan of this game while playing it on a pad or a keyboard, I really hope Santa gives you a gaming wheel for Christmas because it just makes this game so much better.

It still looks terrible. I can't see playing that on a serious gaming PC or a PS5.

Just love devs for putting in last update options for setting time for sun eclipse. Just a few days before total sun eclipse in Spain! There is no way it was released this time by accident 🙂

I can't wait for the tyre physics simulation they hinted at a few months back! A proper tyre-wear model a'la Assetto Corsa would be the cherry on an already amazing game

BeamNG has always been a real game, there's plenty of "sandbox" to play with and i bet most people have barely grazed the surface of what it has to offer just because they go freeroam, get on a prebuilt setup and roam around with traffic or play missions. Car setup is EXTREMELY in depth with many parts for each car (some more than others) and loads of props to play with, i genuinely believe people don't have enough imagination to let the game truly shine, it just requires some time and effort

Its more than a game, its more than a sandbox… its a creative platform with a first principles approach to simulations. Where the visual and the physics engine are one of the same. Some of the new AI tools will really start to evolve this creative platform… as development becomes easier.

Beam needs to be for cars what Roblox does for kids.

I so badly want to believe you, however every time I load the game it feels like alpha software. Including after the latest .39 update.

We are having SO MUCH FUN in multiplayer. Every night we drive hotlaps on the track of the day. For like 5-7 hours. Multiplayer is KING in this game.
The slipstream, the crashes, the excitement that these 2 things put together, being scared of taking any curb a BIT too hard, because sth in the suspension could actually break like irl… AMAZING!
All it needs now is better tire physics (which is coming) and better Anti-Aliasing (coming with DLSS), and then it's finished. Dont see any other problem and dont have any other wish actually!
So guys, go BeamMP and try it with your friends. Just drive HOURS on any track, I can't remember the last time I had so much fun in any game.

BTCC or GT3 most fun so far, but havent tried all cars yet and am on controller (my friends are all on wheel tho). BeamApex servers have these mods if you dont wanna search manually… Join us there and lets fill the lobbies! 😁👍

I can't stand it when people refer to BeamNG as just a crash simulator. BeamNG is literally every car game you want to play

Overall an amazing update with lots of improvements.
BUT – you should have mentioned that v0.39 broke a lot of maps and other mods.
So expect some missing textures or models when you try community maps or cars.

please let them update the tire model. with such a damage model, they become really unbeatable.

My "conspiracy theory" is that the developers initially set out to create just a Soft body physics simulation engine to maybe license and sell to other developers down the line BUT seeing how the community reacted to the game (I especially remember a number of youtubers saying how much potential this game had for rally) shifted their focus and development towards what the game is today.
