    I’m not sure if there was a thread on this before on this or not, but I was wondering what the name BeamNG stood for.

    I guessing that the “Beam” in BeamNG is for the beams that make up some of the car
    I also think the N is for the nodes that connect the beams to each other....

    But what does the G stand for? Maybe the G goes with the N to make NG, node-grabber?

    I don’t know, but if you have other guesses or answers, leave them down below.

    I believe the NG is supposed to stand for "Next Gen".

    "Beam" is derived from the fact that the vehicle's working structure is made of beams connected to nodes in a 3-dimensional space. "NG" stands for Next Generation, this game being the next generation of physics simulation based on the developer's physics coding( RoR was the first).

    Just googled it
