So, I am on the off road side of the scale, and there is no other game out there that gives you this much customisation and challenge, but I feel that one key thing the game is missing, is a winch. I have a winch on my truck in real life and, i feel that it is essential to the recovery of a stuck vehicle. So, a suggestion to the game would be a winch. An optional part in the parts menu(the off road bumper looks like it already has a spot for a winch), that can be put on or taken off. Use the same thing as the newly added trailer couples, and put couple points on various trees around the map, so that the winch cable has something to hook on to(as well as other vehicles). A good example for a winch is the game Spintires. Another good off roading game, but it focuses more on mud and less on terrain. I'm sure this has already been brought up, and may already be in the making, but i just wanted to share my thoughts.
Agree we need more machinery in Beamng like RigsofRods there was hydraulics and winches, would be perfect if that was added to Beam
I signed-up just to see if anyone had made this as a mod yet. That would be perfect...along with a ground anchor option for where there aren't any trees.
Maybe once the Hopper is released i will see if my winch from Rigs of Rods will work in BeamNG, it worked as a ground anchor and could winch off of trees and rocks, didn't even need to hook to a node. Hopefully since BeamNG is more stable it will work better than in RoR.
That would be excellent. - I enjoy seeing how far off-road I can get and what I can conquer with a basic 4x4 (e.g. Roamer with small wheels, basic street tyres and open diffs front and rear). - As you can imagine with that setup, a winch would be handy!
