The flaws from Beamng.

I try to say my honest opinion about this game in a non-offensive way.
Beamng has, in my opinion, two big flaws:
1.The handling of the vehicles is bad, it feels like a boat but not like agile car.
2.If you crash two or more cars it could happen that these cars clust together and destroy the whole realism of this situation.

Maybe someone from Beamng could inform us about these things, if they already work to fix them.

 

Also, what is constantly said, but seemingly never listened to, is the fact that about 90% of handling complaints are from people who are doing about 80-100 mph and trying to take a 90 degree turn. The reason you believe the cars to handle unrealistically is that when you are going fast, you perceive that you are in fact not going that fast, since the game lacks motion blur and has a relatively poor FoV, which gives the illusion of lack of speed. Plus, you don't feel the G-forces when you turn, which isn't really a fault of the game itself.

My (expensive) advice is to get some type of Force-Feedback device to play with and maybe increase the FoV a bit.

The devs have said that they're working on fixing the illusion of speed, and the whole "sticky cars" problem.

 

Speaking of that thread, i know that not everything can be perfect, but there is always room for improvement. For
example the video that dummiesman posted in that thread showed that there was no major difference aside from the massive increase in stickiness of the vehicles over the 2 versions. A massive downside for a simple increase in fps of about 1-2%? unbelievable. I dont know everything thats going on behind the scenes in this game but if it had completely fine vehicle collision why break it with some little updates that are completely negligible? maybe it was to fix some bug with some user in some country with some setup on some install of some operating system, but for the other 99.9 percent of us its painful to use more than 2 vehicles at once knowing that they will just act like they just drove through a shower of epoxy.

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

in games like need for speed this = in real life this = This vvvvvvvv

 

In terms of handling beamNG honestly has some of the easiest and best handling cars I've used in any racing sim, if anything I'd say they handle too well. That said a lot of them ARE quite boaty as they should be with suspension designed for comfort rather than maximum corner grip, however the boatyness is what makes many of the cars handle as well as they do in terms of being controllable.

Increasing the FOV is the exact opposite of what should be done, sure it would make everything look faster(faster than it actually is) but it would ruin your ability to judge distance and im also not too fond of motion blur.

 

which is how most games show speed. Blur and varying the cameras position and field of view with speed

 

I'm aware of that but it in my experience at least I feel like having a static field of view helps a lot with judging corners, as long as the effect isnt too major it wont matter too much though.
