0.24 Discussion thread

Really miss the old drag racing UI.

Having it as a separate mission to launch into is so much more tedious than just having it as part of freeroam. Way too many clicks to start racing, and no way to close the menu at the end and just drive back to the start with the AI to do another race. Also what was the need to hide my widgets while racing? So much worse after this update.

 

One more thing I noticed is that the engines at the 0.23 Update received a new feature: after constant stationary overrevving (or after consecutive momentary overrevving during downshifting/moneyshifting) and damaging the valvetrain, the engines (especially those without a rev limiter - talking mainly about the classic American cars, like the Burnside, the Bluebuck, the Barstow and the Moonhawk) revved more softly just at the start of the redline until they started overheating the coolant, burning oil, damaging the head gaskets and the rod bearings and, eventually, either breaking/locking up or turning off and trying to restart but, ultimately, failing and locking up. Before the 0.23 update, they just revved as high as they could manage until the valvetrain gave up and, just after that, they straight up broke/locked up with the characteristic "bang" sound.
After the 0.24 Update, the engines returned back to the pre-0.23 status and they rev just like I described.
I believe the 0.23 revving update is much more realistic than just a few seconds of overrevving, valvetrain damaging and then going ka-boom like it is now, in the 0.24, and was prior to 0.23.
So I believe this revving issue needs to be corrected and brought up to the 0.23 status.

 

yes, I remembered now it is not possible to organize drag racing in free mode now the flag on the west coast of the USA has disappeared and there is simply nothing to appear on the grid map

 

Agreed on the drag racing, really, really tedious on the new UI. No point having a faster UI if everything takes more clicks. The fading animations don't help either, and I can't do repeated runs in the same car without respawning. Please don't make it a separate mission, it just makes the whole process slower!

 

I also found a bug when I change the number of traffic that I want to create after that, the radial menu does not work, I reloaded the interface via f5 and it started working, but I can't switch between traffic, but it seems to be because of the interface reboot

I've checked right now I can't switch between traffic at all, I can't switch between machines and which I assign
--- Post updated ---
I have now found there is a function to disable switching between cars

 

I wonder how many Humble Bundle users are still in the dark thinking the download hasn't updated still, since I just checked and found the version name still being 0.23... (again HB users, read this if you haven't updated yet)

Anyway, I've had the update to toy around with a little for a few days now and I can only say one thing about it : GREAT UPDATE !
I love it The new UI is just looking super sweet and functions pretty good imo. PBR updates, vehicle remasters, sound updates : great, great great ! I understand we get used to our own ways after a while and updates bring changes to that, but I had little trouble getting used to this update. I can only speak for the hotfix though, so they're might have been more difficulties with the initial release. And I can also imagine many users not being used to tweaking and clever workarounds for buggy or laggy features to overcome, but then again that should be nothing new in the history of the game, which still is an alpha release after all. I'm sure the devs are finding solutions for those inconvenient bugs like the pie menu and such pretty soon. The pie menu bug doesn't really bother me that much though, just a tap on F5 and press E, but most of the time it just works over here and I don't need to. I must say that my personal habits might be far removed from those of the average user. I only play freeroam and mod stuff. I never play missions, only sometimes spawn traffic, never tough light runner, map editor(rarely), track builder, etc... So when using all those features the UI might maybe get disturbed a bit more by bugs of some sort, I just don't know. I already got pretty used to this new BeamNG experience and I wouldn't want to revert that for whatever reason

 

The AI will become unresponsive after 1 round of driving.

 

I used to use M to turn on my police sirens, but not since M is to open the big map, I don't know the keybind anymore. Either can I find it. Can I please get help?

After delivering cars in Garage to Garage Delivery, the performance drops significantly (for me it goes from 45fps to 25 and slowly to 18) and after a lot (around 6-12 in my experience) the game freezes up and exits with 0x00000001. I sent a crash report with the in-game reporter but tbf that mission never plays well with updates, it's had similar problems on almost every recent release except 0.23.5.

Shist + n

 

i swear, people, please look at your controls and keybindings, it is MUCH QUICKER than asking online.....

 

add the repeat button in the top menu it used to be in the old interface while it is only in the main menu but it is not convenient through it

 

I think the new Pessima's gearing might be too short, at 60 mph it runs at ~3000 rpm - same with the old one and especially annoying with the v6

 

There's another problem I found.
For the Gavril D-Series,when I installed Solid Axle Front Suspension with Off-Road Front Leaf Springs,this combination will cause vehicle turn left automatically.Gavril Roamer has the same problem too.

 

nice

 

I wonder what was the reason behind the major 10 second delay when opening the vehicle selector.

 

was optimised for the old UI I'm guessing
