Every update is cool in their own right, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be 0.15. It was an awesome update, because we got the Autobello and Italy in that update, the first map-vehicle combo we had since the Miramar and Utah.
I always remember being fond of the first steam update, or when they first moved to steam (.4x). Aroundish that time they added gravity function, new UI, and a drivable version of the bolide/new configs. Possibly have some of that wrong but 2015 in general was good. Back then it felt like a whole new game.
They are all good in their own ways, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I have been enjoying the level and vehicle remasters recently.
I'm going to say that if the bolide remaster comes in 0.20, you'll probably have that one as favorite lol. I think my pick would be 0.18 just for the truck remaster and the lighting updates
0.17 for me, Im sure most of you will get why. I tell you what, the 291 and two speed auto isn't such a bad combination when hooked up to 3.00 diff ratio, its really grown on me recently
Probably one of the very first versions (0.3-0.5?) because that's when I tried BeamNG for the first time
The first public release Just because of how amazing it was, it felt like a step into the future from ROR.
0.17 was my favorite. Traffic and the Bluebuck made the game so much more fun and added a lot in terms of gameplay.
My favorite updates are(I have quite a few) : 0.11 (started playing in that version) 0.16 (sounds were way better) 0.18 (new graphics are amazing) 0.19 (Cherrier FCV is amazing)
Honestly, my choice isn't a single answer. I'll go with 0.19, 0.18, 0.17, and 0.16. All four of them are wonderful updates/major releases. The Bluebuck, (aka the Gaga Bubu), Piccolina, and the Vivace are all great cars in my opinion.
