  • We try our hand at doing some close to proper racing on BeamNG Drive, but of course with Beams incredible damage model things can go very wrong very quickly.

    Nice, I've wanted to see some content like this for a long time. Here's a few tips for next time, hopefully helpful ones:
    - You can spectate the others by pressing tab, or clicking them in the player list (I think). Then you can control the camera like you normally would, or you could go for action shots with the other camera modes (number keys)
    - In the new update which released today, they redid the driving assistants and there is now an understeer assistant. I haven't tried it but it's probably pretty good, it should be in the 'Gameplay' section of the settings

      It actually is one of the best handling cars, the default track tune is quite underpowered and doesn't turn in as hard as the car can, but once properly tuned the thing puts up one hell of a fight with a competent driver behind the wheel. People seriously under estimate it.

  • @taylorgregory610
    @taylorgregory610 Před rokem +50

    Setup makes a huge difference in Beam, for both the vehicle and the controller. From default the controller sensitivity curve is completely linear, which may explain why everyone seems to be a bit twitchy with the fine inputs. Also the suspension setups on the cars are far from optimized, and can be tuned to allow for much smoother driving on controller. If you don't want to get into that though I recommend at least lowering the tire pressures a little, I've found that it helps to dampen the bounciness that racing slicks seem to have in the game.

  • @Maximum_777
    @Maximum_777 Před rokem +1

    Edit: Suggestions to make your experience racing better, and the whole presentation of the video better -
    -Use the UI app that shows a top down view of the car's beams so that you can tell exactly where actual damage is and don't have to guess
    -Tab to the lead car for better spectating of the race if you crash, free cam is not smooth enough and you weren't changing free cam speed to fallow people properly which made the whole spectating experience terrible.
    -It makes it a lot more interesting for us as viewers to see pedal and wheel inputs, the UI apps for those also sync with whatever car you're spectating and that's likely one of the coolest features of the multiplayer as seeing other peoples either really bad jerky, or really good smooth inputs is always fun to look at.
    -Consider racing from the first person view as it gives you mirrors, better ability to hit braking markers, and often looks cooler seeing the interiors of these cars. You still have the ability to look over your shoulder in first person too.
    -You should utilize the upper right player list to see peoples ping and know when you can race close to them, and when you can't.
    -I also would suggest trying some of the other tunes in the game, as well as making your own, because base model races are fun, the track hopper is really fun, and some of the Sport models handle far more balanced then the ultra track versions, and since they're slower, it makes close racing more possible and in my opinion makes the races far more interesting, as nobody get's way out ahead.
    vvv Original comment about the "competitive"/serious racing scene. vvv
    So the BeamMP racing scene, on private servers, absolutely pops off and partaking in said racing is some of the most fun I've ever had in the game, but we have a lot of rules and things to keep issues with desync in check, and people race cautiously as to not ruin anyone's race by desync ramming them.
    Ultimately we struggle the most with everyone having a powerful enough computer to run the game at a high enough fps to keep everyone competitive, sometimes I can't race in a 10 player race, because I end up having less than 20fps, and go from a competent driver to someone who looks like they're moving in slow motion, obviously the lower the fps, the worse you drive, but BeamNG absolutely shines when it all comes together and people aren't struggling with fps, we have a discord community that's filled with very competent drivers, all with force feedback wheels, and all with a very good understanding of car handling and track layouts, and while it's not a perfect experience yet, far from what you get in like i Racing or ACC, the people out here are there to have fun and take BeamNG for the driving sim it is. Serious competitive BeamNG racing is out there, you just gotta be able to drive good.

    That first race is how all of my beammp raced turn out lol. Everyone is good for the majority of the first lap and then cars start dropping like flies. Hitting walls, braking late on turns and dirty racing. It’s hard to be the point car in a race in multiplayer because you’re usually racing hard to keep the lead and you either brake too late or have someone rear end you coming up to a turn.. I find that if I start mid pack to back I can usually squeak out the win, dodging car parts on the track as I go around lol.

    Alex, do you think that beam could some day be a decent sim, such as assetto, iracing or rfactor? And where would you place it on a scale as of right now? Anywhere near forza motorsports or gran turismo?

      It's an extremely intricate car sim as-is, the most detailed of any car game yet released. As a *racing* sim, it lacks any rules and enforcement, though you could always have a few players volunteer as marshals.

      Beam is up there with AC but still needs some work with aero and tire thermals plus better MP and optimization. This game has such great potential and the 0.26 update released today brings the game a step closer to other sims.

    Racing in beamng drive is awkward, because the cars slide all over the place because of poor traction.
    It's like driving on ice.

    3:42 - I know this is “A MOD” but “THE MODDER” should of “AT THE VERY LEAST” had the caution icon come out if there was a car
    “LITERALLY SITTING ON THE TRACK” “THAT HIT JUST KILLED TO PEOPLE”!!!!!!

    That game looks difficult to drive and race in. Imagine If the FIA was monitoring a race like this, I bet everyone would be getting penalties left right and center.

    The biggest problem with the handing in this game is probably the tires. proper wear, temps and tire deformation is needed, as well as reducing the grip of racing slicks because the way they handle is really all over the place

      Tyres already deformable in this game

    Hey Alex! Now 30.1? Did you do a pub crawl and get bloody pissed?
