BeamNG Lost Media

This is a thread I've made to discuss BeamNG lost media, like deleted vehicles or maps and lost versions of the game.

The first thing I'd like to discuss is old BeamNG, and I will talk about it here:



Anyways, BeamNG was released on Steam as the 0.4.0 version in 2015, and v0.3 is the pre-Steam release version. However, the earliest version of BeamNG.drive you can play is v0.1, which you can get here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11g8Jchx_PCgxmchM9qnEvcCB047uHsmx/view

And here's a video of feamtorrest2 exploring that version:



Apparently it was just a testing version for the BeamNG devs but when the thread first went online the dev section was mistakenly public and had a few threads, along with a build of 0.1 for public download. One user managed to get it and later found on an old hard drive a few years ago, and they put it up for download. There are three maps and a few cars, and it's honestly kind of fun to just compare the two

What I'd like to discover is if v0.2 exists, or if it ever existed and has been lost, and does anybody know what happened to the CryEngine3 versions?

 

v0.2 is the original techdemo with the Gavril D-series.

 

No, v0.3 is the techdemo and v0.4 is the Steam release

 

v0.1 was made by someone to troll the BeamNG community, it isn't a real version.

 

What about the conceptualized vehicles?

 

Yes, there will be stuff about that too. There is a page on the BeamNG wiki that shows those vehicles (go to it here: https://beamng.fandom.com/wiki/Concepted_vehicles).

What about feamtortress2's video? That IS the 0.1 version! Anyway, enough about that. I want to know if BeamNG v0.2 existed!

 

uhhh, sorry to break it to you, its a pre-steam release with edited UI elements..

 

enough with this pointless debate about if BeamNG v0.1 is real or not (which I still believe is, you can literally see by the download link, and it's just my opinion). i'd just like to see if BeamNG v0.2 ever existed.

 

uhhh, i have the first techdemo, which, yes, is a v3.0 version, but i think its the closest to v0.2 youll get. [ofcourse, if v0.2 existed, which i doubt]

 

I have the techdemo too, but I wonder if anybody found/has a copy of BeamNG v0.2, as that is the main point of the current discussion going on in this thread.

 

Guys, there might was a map called smallgrid_aitest (I'm not sure about the name, I will fix it tomorrow). If anyone knows about it, tell me. The info I know is:
That was a debug map
The versions range from 0.3.9-0.4.?
So yeah let me know

 

It was introduced in v0.3.8, and yes, the name you wrote is correct. It was made to test the AI features that were new at the time, and now it is no longer in-game.

 

the concepted vehicles for BeamNG were cool as hell especially the 1969-1972 moonhawk

 

yes we will be discussing stuff like that as well. I kinda hope there were more classic American vehicles in BeamNG, as it would be great to make a classic car meet or sthg like that
