There is a mod that adds more engine options: https://www.beamng.com/resources/crash-hard-8x8-truck-more-engines-mod.8389/ Default engine is nice for jumping and running over things with great speed.
5-6fps maybe but everything helps --- Post updated --- But I have 15-20fps gain if I use 2x slow motion using the truck with the tarp. so this is pretty great
I don't know if this would be considered a bug or what, but, when I finally got this mod installed, which took five tries, the whole game doesn't open, do you know what's wrong? I put the file in the mod folder like where they usually go.
It's certainly an issue on your end, it's fine for me and everyone else. Try putting the mod in mods>repo, launch the game in safe mode and activate only the 8x8, see how that works for you
I decided to try it too, went from 14fps to 72fps with the tarptop and 2x slomo, god I love this game, the default truck is working great though, 25-30 fps, considering I'm using a mid range cpu.
im not sure exactly when or why, but somewhere along the line a huge amount of performance has been gained, i now get about 45fps with the truck on car jump arena with another car spawned and normal collisions, woooooo
For people that are asking. Yes i've added this mod in the list of vehicles i'm using to test/profile the physics core. It is a very nice stress test for the collision subsystem for example. I've even done some calibration of the collision subsystem to improve this mod's performance (while not affecting performance of other vehicles).
That is pretty cool to know But hoping you not sacrifice too much of the physics accuracy to make it run well And are there any plans to remedy that nodes can slip between collision triangles, it is a big problem on the tarp (that is why i use so many support beams on it)
Crash Hard 01 updated CrashHard 8x8 BigRig Truck with a new update entry: Fixed the popping tires (made them stronger) Read the rest of this update entry...
Just wanted to mention that the download from the in game mods selection fails. Tried a few times. Have downloaded other mods without trouble since. Not sure if something is corrupt, so just a heads up!
