BeamNG.Drive Remote Control App - Feedback and Bug Report thread

ok.

 

Small update for everyone, we have made good progress in repairing the issues with the app. The ui not updating bug has been resolved (at least for our test cases, we will really find out once a greater audience has the chance to try it ) as well as several other bugs with the display itself have been fixed (speedo was displaying kmh when it said mph, lowbeam dash light was not displaying correctly, rpms were reading incorrectly) and we are working to add some more features as well. Thank you all for the feedback, we hope to get an update out soon alongside the next BeamNG update

 

Hi I need this app for iOS. It's been almost 9 months after the release of Android version and no sign of iOS version yet. Really? I do not have an Android phone and I need this app!!

 

The app(both ios and android) has not been worked on in many many months, and although the android version was technically released it was more of a beta test than anything and had lots of problems.

But i have some good news and an update for everyone. We have added some new features to the app, you can now switch between displaying kmh and mph and there is a sensitivity slider. Your settings are saved so you dont have to change them each time you open the app.

More importantly however, there is now a working IOS version! Just needs a bit more work to have the new features that were added to the android version and it will be good to go! Hopefully it will be available along with the next big BeamNG update

 

When is that update planned?

 

Ok, so I'm wondering what the firewall has to do with anything, because it says something about the firewall above the scantron in the menu. Also, the app on my Samsung phone loads fine, but whenever I try to scan the scantron, it loads for about 15 seconds and then says that the connection has timed out. Can someone help me?

 

Along with what Nadeox said the app was found to have lots of problems recently and didn't work for a lot of people. We have fixed those issues and will be updating it soon. However it required many changes to BeamNG code as well so the app can not be updated until BeamNG is updated also. Once the next BeamNG update is released we will be releasing the update for the Android app as well as releasing an IOS version

 

Thank You!

 

When it's ready

 

You forgot the ™

 

I'm on mobile and can't be bothered.

OT: Can't wait for the update. I find myself using the app somewhat frequently while I'm waiting for class to start and new features and improved functions would make my day.

 

On my Tablet(fully stock) everything works, but the gauges are not animating.

 

My Request:
This will probably a server based thing, but making the phone show the car's view on the phone screen. It is hard to play multiplayer by looking at the PC player's view and trying to move myself. I am not saying the phone must run BeamNG because that is not possible, but to make it clear I want to see my car's player view on my phone and the PC screen shows the other player's view.


Android version: 4.4 KitKat (No Custom ROM)
Phone Model: This doesn't matter for my request
Yes

 

Youre asking for an entire commercial desktop streaming app from a free little addon to BeamNG

There are already several desktop streaming apps available that could stream the screens view to your phone and give you control with on screen buttons (Splashtop works pretty well for this, i have tried it in the past, it even has a "gaming" mode that will only show arrow keys or wasd on the screen) however this will not let you show one view on the phone and one on the pc. The pc would have to be rendering two entire view ports at that point which is not likely possible unless you have an insane gpu set up

 

.7 is great! I'm just wondering, any news on the app? I'm pretty excited about it.

 

Android and IOS app are both complete, fixed, and ready to go. Just need to get them uploaded and released on their respective platforms Android update should be out soon, IOS will take a bit longer because of Apples long review process (can take up to a couple weeks for them to approve an app)

 

Hello again everyone, just wanted to let you all know that both the IOS and Android apps have been submitted! Apple is giving us a bit of trouble with the review process because they arent able to directly test the app, were trying to reason with them and hopefully they will allow it...

On the Android side, as many of you know the reason it was left broken for so long was because of internal issues with the old programmer. We also dont have the keystore file he used and because of that are unable to update the current app. So instead we will be releasing a new app entirely, however this is okay because the old version of the app will not work with new versions of beamng and vice versa. So now there will be the old version of the app for BeamNG 0.5+ and a "V2" version of the app that is only for BeamNG versions 0.7+

This new V2 version is not broken anymore (i think, please test and let me know! Ive tested all the way back to a galaxy s3 with no issues, with thousands of different android out there i cant be 100% sure though for everyone) and its also has some new features (mph or kmh setting, and sensitivity setting). This version will also be continuously supported and updated by me, so bugs will not be left broken any more, new features can be added, ect. Thank you all for understanding

The QR scanner and button in BeamNG from here on out will link to the new version of the app, alternatively you can get it here (it may take a bit for the link to work, if it doesnt just give it a bit and try again): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beamng.remotecontrol

As a small note, if the camera does not work for the qr scanner you will have to give the app permission to use it in the settings on your phone. It *should* automatically have a pop up that asks for permission but just in case it doesnt
go to settings>applications>application manager>BeamNG.drive Remote Control V2>permissions and check the camera permission to on

IOS version now available! Get it here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/beamng.drive-remote-control/id1163096150?mt=8
