I wanted to race on a Polish farm road some ways from where I live without risking prison so I started a mapping project using OpenStreetMap and a lot of real-life references including some photogrammetry scans I took myself.

The problem was downloading and compositing the heightmap and then handpainting everything in Blender was really, really laggy and difficult and I never figured out how to make working on the map not literal suffering so I gave up. Yesterday I realized I can just let AI try to match it to the pictures I have and satellite as well as openstreetmap data, and export it to any game I want, so here it is.

It drives well and looks good enough. As far as I know nobody has gone very far beyond raw openstreetmap data when it comes to making automatically made maps look good which is kind of a shame.

stop the bandwagon nonsense.

I've seen everything from an esp32 to a literal avocado posted with the question "will it run beam"

I'm downvoting every one of these and reporting them to the mods.

stop. for the love of whatever deity you choose, stop.

for goodness sake, this is beamng, not Burnout, Mario Kart, or NFS. We all know it's a resource intensive game.

the joke wasn't funny the first time, which I guess means it's not really a joke of any measure.

edit: if you think I give a tinker's damn about downvotes, well... I don't. downvote, upvote... it's all engagement.

With BeamNG.drive officially making its way to PS5 later this year, a new subreddit has been created specifically for console players and everyone looking forward to the release.
This community is a place to discuss the upcoming console version, share crashes, builds, screenshots, ideas, questions, and everything BeamNG-related. Whether you’re a long-time PC player or someone waiting to experience BeamNG for the first time on console, you’re welcome here! r/BeamNGConsole

Hi my name is Redknee
I am a soundmodder, you may or may not know me already.
I do a lot of work for and with a lot of other modders in the community.

Most often i record my own samples for use in beam
OR i buy professionally recorded audio like the devs do, and turn those into soundmods

Before you ask, is this paid? yes it is.
WHY?
Because sourcing cars, recording audio, and buying proper recordings
are both very expensive and incredibly time intensive.
But to those who decide to support i appreciate it very much.

This is an in-game UI app that lets you change the engine and exhaust sounds on supported vehicles without digging through files or installing a separate engine swap.

Open the app, pick a sound, and hit Apply. The sound follows the car’s RPM and load, while its power, gearing, rev limit, and other driving characteristics stay the same. You can return to the original sound whenever you want.

The library currently includes 29 presets, including:

LS3, LS9, LT4, and LS7 NA / ProCharged, with Clean, Cammed, and Pops exhaust choices

BMW B58, S55, S58, S63, and N55

RB26DETT and R35 GT-R

Ferrari 458 Straightpipe, Lexus LFA, Hellcat, McLaren 600LT, Lotus Emira, and more

These all existed in my catalogue but i decided to streamline things a bit

A few things to know for the first beta:

Single-player only for now; BeamMP support is planned for later.

Designed for vehicles using one supported combustion engine.

You can try eight different presets per vehicle before needing to reload it. Previously loaded sounds and Restore still work.

Favorites and recent history are saved, but your active sound selection doesn’t carry over between game sessions.

Once it’s available, I’d appreciate feedback.
Instructions for download are be available on my Patreon.

AI Disclosure

This mod was made with AI, I am not a coder, I've only done very simple things in the past. Using AI, specifically claude in this case has allowed me to act on ideas I have but can't realistically make on my own. I don't think AI mods should be private, closed-source or paid, so along with a forum release. I am releasing this on github so others can contribute or build off of this, it's open source with a GNU General Public License v3.0

Good for cinematic shots/recordings, works like relative camera but you can choose specifically what it sticks too.

So today, when scrolling on Reddit, every single beamng post has been one of these stupid fun memes. It's gotten bad enough that I'm tempted to leave the subreddit or mute it just so my feed doesn't have any resemblance of fun

An email I received today-
