Frustrated, waste of money.

Crash physics are accurate. However, that's about it as far as physics is concerned. It's not consistent at all and without consistency it's worthless. I have drove many race cars and this program was a waste of money. I spent hours tuning several cars and then just randomly you slide off the road like on ice or the car just speeds up on it's own and you crash. This happens in stand alone mode as well as networked. Very unfortunate because it has the potential to be a killer sim.

 

I'm sorry you're having those issues, but I can't say myself that I've had any of them. I haven't known cars to speed up on their own at all, and sliding off the road heavily depends on what tires you have and what surface you're on

 

Yea, I'm sure you're a regular Michael Schumacher, brought down by these inept BeamNG devs. I want to apologize to you on their behalf. Godspeed, Ricky Bobby.

 

Well, when you can take the Bastion and do a 15mph skid and the car does a 180 on dry pavement it doesnt take a genius to figure out that the physics are wrong you keyboard warrior you.

It's idiot replies like this that represent why the game doesnt get fixed. Yeah, go back to mama's basement and play.

 

Whew, imagine being so bad at, quote, "driving real race cars" that you can't possibly translate those skills to a sim.

Don't worry, I have enough skill for the both of us.

 

It's really not that hard to spin a car 180 degrees at low speed, the Bastion has some very high power configs that break traction with almost no effort. Either you aren't used to the driving physics of Beam or something is seriously wrong with your game and/or PC.

Also it would be nice if yall didn't resort to straight insults but that's just my take

 

What are you talking about, Youtube is full of videos of idiots doing exactly that in their muscle car.

 

How did you know I like with my parents? Thats crazy OMG your sooo right!

 

New account with childish take - Engagement bait.

 

skill issue mate

 

it's driven, I have DRIVEN.

 

I have tested lateral grip of many cars in BeamNG on skid pad before. All cars tested had a lateral G capacity similar to that of their real world counterparts. The same can be said for braking G capacity and 0-60 times. Many default configs are perhaps touch understeery, but there is VAST room for oversteer/understeer balance adjustment using tuned parts. If you own practically any car you can get a BeamNG car to handle similarly with tuning.

 

not had isue think you playing with mods gtom a edgy site PC prob has a Virus

 

as someone who owns a car that is basically the same as the moonhawk and a truck that is very similar to the d-series the driving physics for those vehicles at least is almost dead on
the only gripe i have with driving physics of this game is that the engine power numbers are usually a bit unrealistically high

what were you using to drive these vehicles was it keyboard, wheel, or controller because the lack of feedback with keyboard and controller can cause someone to easily push the car beyond its limits

are you running the game with or without mods because some mods are extremely horrible and that could cause the experience you are having

also what config are you using of the bastion that caused the issue you described because some of those do have way more power than can easily be controlled I dont usually drive that car but i think its the redtail config is a bit easy to spin out due to its rear wheel drive and high power

 

Are they? Because the numbers listed on the info blurbs for cars-engine combos I can kinda guess what car they’re emulating look kinda low. Like the top end sport models of 60s big blocks V8s with 400+ cubic inches are generally reckoned to have usually been good for around 400hp even if they were advertised lower. But the vanilla 423 Barstow Roadsport is listed at 285hp. That seems a little low for that type of car, even if it’s referring to wheel horsepower and not crank horsepower.

 

That sounds reasonable, but IIRC the horsepower/torque app says at the crank. If that’s the case then the 423 RS really does have 285 at the crank. Does the powertrain add transmission losses in BeamNG, or do you have to compensate by lowering crank output HP?

I don’t even want to drive a *pretend* car that doesn’t have that emissions crap ripped out. That stain on my country’s national honor is too painful to relive ;-)

 

Some Cars Arnt easy to drive on keyboard if thats what your talking about.

 

The more you know…That’s an impressive level of detail I didn’t know was in the game. Beam devs just built different
