    something i've been wondering for the last few weeks.

    does beamng drive benefit from fast storage besides large map loading?

    i usually keep my beamng drive on my sata ssd instead of my storage drives but now that i got a nvme drive i'm wondering.

    wil beamng benefit from fast storage if you were to use AI traffic with 6 or more cars?

    i have ran beamng drive on a 40 gb ram disk before (mods and game were housed within) and did notice it had more game stability (for example. less crashes. or more importantly. not the 1 to 2 second full hang the game sometimes has when traveling beyond 250 kmu)

    thank you alot for any of your infos and personal experiences ^^

    Fast storage will mainly help with loading things (ie. accessing, reading, writing files).

    It would not affect vehicle simulation in any noticeable way (aside loading vehicles' assets)

    hm.. you'd reckon a storage access bottleneck would cause performance problems for traffic?
    i noticed traffic likes to change the colors every respawn so that would cause a reload of the vehicle files right?

    No, it's just changing the color values, it's not reloading any assets.
