Trucking realism

Aww BeamNG keeps amazing me, man how realisticly everything is behaving while driving semi and put some 30 tons load on the back of the trailer, you have even these back-forth cabing movement from trailer pushing back on the fifth wheel, everyone who has driven trucks IRL know how tiresome is this while driving on bad roads Also the suspensions and frame twitching its just immersive and very detailed also the driving itself, maybe the best experience one can get from a game/simulator really. Sorry if its off-topic, just wanted to appreciate all the hard work that has been done to achieve that.

 

yep, that's what's so great about making the physics properly and not just bodging features in

 

Trucking is pretty amazing even though we are still missing the transmission retarder and the engine brake system, then, we wouldnt have overheating brakes much.. still a bit of ways to go.. but as it is, with the transmission mods and engine mods for trucks, well, possibilities are endless..

 

I was thinking that those brake types are hidden behind some keybind but you made it clear to me heh, i miss them too everytime thinking about this when going long downhills .It would be nice with different type retarders for example there is with oil, there is this Telma electromagnetic retarders (i think MAN's used them before) etc. PS: this is how telma looks like
