Vehicles in the game consist of a soft-body, node-beam structure, similar to the vehicle structure in Rigs of Rods. Algorithms have been written for the physics equations to be carried out. The game implements its soft-body physics to both control vehicle dynamics as well as to control the collisions between objects and vehicles.īeamNG.drive uses a real-time, soft-body dynamics physics structure to simulate its vehicles.

An update included the Automation Test Track environment, set in New Zealand (where Camshaft is based).īeamNG.drive features six modes: Scenarios, which are missions that vary in complexity, difficulty, and goals Campaign Mode, which is a collection of small scenarios pertaining to a specific theme Free Roam Mode, where the player can drive (or crash) several different vehicles in an environment of choice Time Trials, where the player selects the vehicle, the map, the course, and aims for the best time Bus Routes, which puts the player behind the wheel of a bus, shuttling passengers along a specific route and Light Runner mode, which is essentially a time trial, but in a setting reminiscent of Tron. On 15 June 2018, BeamNG announced a partnership with Camshaft Software, developer of the vehicle tycoon game Automation, where they offered a promotional sale on 13 July 2018 for both games. On, the game was released to Steam Early Access. The game was placed on an open vote on Steam Greenlight on 12 February 201 and was greenlit eight days later. BeamNG.drive relies heavily on coding in Lua, and uses packets of local data using the Lua network system while the game is running.īeamNG's website,, was opened on, to begin rolling out news of their development of the simulator. Originally, BeamNG.drive was to be based on CryEngine 3, but its use in a driving game uncovered numerous bugs, leading development to be rolled over to Torque. On, BeamNG released a YouTube video titled 'Revolutionary soft-body physics in CryEngine3'. The game features soft-body physics, and was released into Steam Early Access for Microsoft Windows on. BeamNG.drive is a vehicle simulation video game developed and published by Bremen-based video game developer BeamNG.
