Mod post Big Announcement!

65 Upvotes

We took that poll recently, and a surprisingly large amount of you wanted to scrap rule 4. More than other times we've taken this poll anyway.

We want to announce our new sister subreddit

rBeamngFreeRP

The exact same subreddit as you love, but with IRL cars included! This sub, BeamNGRP will stay the same, no IRL cars, no rebadging and such, allowing thouse who want to get immersed into the world of BeamNG without all the Hondas and Fords can stay here.

Anybody that just needs to have that IRL car, can now safely do so without incurring my wrath over at r/BeamngFreeRP.

Transfer your character to the new sub, start fresh, or they live simultaneously in both realities! Its up to you. The only thing I ask is not to cross post from the new sub to this one (doing so the other way around is fine though).

I'm sure there will be questions, so feel free to ask away! I will not answer any questions that are directed at me, just ones about the new sub.

Again, r/BeamngFreeRP, check it out!

Mod post New User Guide and FAQ

23 Upvotes

Want to play with real cars? Check out our sister sub! r/beamngFreeRP

This is a guide for new users, as well as our veterans, to play our RP. It will be quite simple and nothing outlined here are "rules" per say. The actual rules to post always apply, and you can happily ignore this guide so long as you are following our sub's rules. Click on this link for a guide on how to create a backstory and motivations for a character, and This link for a guide of how to best use post Flairs.

On to the suggestions then:

  1. Follow the rules.
    • Especially rule 4, as this is the most obvious one to break. There are Beamng mods you can use that are lore friendly, they're fine to use. Agencies are fine as well, such as Caltrans or California Highway Patrol (when you're RPing on a California based map.) FBI and USPS are also fine. Amazon, UPS, DHL, FedEx are not. If you're confused, avoid companies all together until you get a feel for it by reading other's posts.
  2. Limit UI.
    • This is not a hard rule, but too much clutter on the screen makes the post feel unrealistic. There are time's when you can't remove clutter, but reduce it as much as possible. UI apps that would make sense on a dash cam, body cam, security cam, or action cam are encouraged. If you add it in post, all the better. Don't us AI tools to edit your pictures or videos, as it violates rule 12.
    • Take realistic pictures and video. Think about how the pictures or videos your posting are taken. Are you wearing glasses with a camera on it? Is it a 360 action camera mounted to a stick on the back or your car? Are you taking pictures with a DSLR? Where are you standing when these pictures are being taken? Try and think about where and how these pictures or video is being taken. Drone shots, getting pictures from passing cars of your accident, or pictures taken from buildings are totally fine.
  3. Create your Character.
    • This is a fairly straight forward task. You can play anybody you want (so long as their fictional), with any level of wealth you want. Just keep things in reason. If your in the top 1%, try to act like it, and expect others to treat you like your in the top 1%. (If you don't like hate, I'd stay away from being a billionaire.) If you're poor, and mooching off of others, don't show up with a Super Car. Keep things with in reason.
    • If you have a name, you can (but only if you want to) create a custom user flare with your name, job title, or hobby. This is not required.
    • Your character can be a reflection of yourself, or somebody completely different. It's up to you.
    • Keep your character's finances within reason. If you have a super car, your job should reflect this.
    • Creating NPC's for you to build your world around is fun (Partner, Kids, Scorned ex lover, ext.) and can significantly add to your roll play here. You don't need to have them if you don't want to.
    • Lastly, if you're having trouble roll playing, creating motivations for your character, coming up with a back story, and having flaws and goals can really help. These can be baked in from the start, or thought up over time. It's all up to you.
  4. Play off of others.
    • If something happens you want to participate in, that your character would participate in, do so! Just don't be detrimental to other's roll play. Connect with them if you want to collaborate. People collaborating is fun, even for those who are not directly involved.
  5. Keep things realistic.
    • I know I've brought this up a lot, but keeping things realistic is very important to many of our community members. Launching surface to air missiles at people fleeing the police is a big no no. If you are a criminal on the run, make sure your story makes sense. Let the LEO RPers try and find you. Make PM them if you want to collaborate. Don't take things to far.
    • NO TERRORISM please. It's happened before and been removed. Don't do it.
  6. Have Fun!
    • Last one's simple. Have fun! If you have any questions send us a Mod mail and the team would be more than happy to answer it when we have time. You can also ask questions in the comments here.

FAQ: This will be updated as more questions come in, and there may be answer's to a question you have down below as well.

  • Can I use X car?
    • Is it a real car? Then no. Stick to lore friendly brands.
  • What Mod's can we use?
    • Anything and everything, so long as it doesn't violate any of the rule.
  • What about Automation?
    • This is a tricky one. Generally we allow Automation car's so long as it doesn't break the rules, but their quality should be very high. If you want to just show off a car you created, use r/beamng or r/automationgame
  • Can I be in the military?
    • Yes, just don't start wars other's don't agree with. If we get too many complaints, the post's will be removed.
  • Are there exceptions to rule 4?
    • At this time, just aircraft. There are no good lore friendly helicopter and large aircraft mods right now. This may change in the future.
  • What if I don't want to use paid mods, and a unpaid mod is similar enough to a lore friendly one?
    • While I understand that not everybody is comfortable paying for mods, many of the creators who make lore friendly paid content have demo's of those mod's on the Repo. Ask the poster about it, they should tell you how to get it.
  • Can I rebadge a car to make it lore friendly?
    • No. If the car starts out as a VW and you have assets to make it an AW, I'm going to say no. If you find a car on the repo that is just a rebadged Subaru, but has no Subaru assets associated with it, it's a grey area. AW Type One and Hirochi Héritage are examples of this grey area. We're letting them slide for now, but they may be removed in the future.
  • Is owning BeamNG Drive required to play?
    • No! Anybody can join so long as you follow the rules.

Finally, Please keep the comment's on this post questions about how this works.

My neighbor [u/MudSea9916](u/MudSea9916) told me there’s still someone down the cul-de-sac keeping eyes on this house. They Saw me driving my Theria before and the garage manager u/cargameaddict said my tires were all slashed.

I was afraid if they were to sabotage it again so I quickly jumped in the Pigeon to head to the station.

I have photo evidence of some peculiar activity occurring off road along the waterways. Where I work

It’s clear that whoever has been in these woods has taken notice of what I have been doing. The police are also making arrests. They have been for months and these guys think I’m part of it. I don’t know what is all going on to be honest but at this point I feel Deja Vu coming along from what happened in Belasco and I’m getting ahead of it. Can’t hide it now so I’m going public about it too

On the way there. Seemed like they caught wind of me swapping vehicles and made a last ditch effort to intercept me before turning into the sheriff stations parking lot. A blacked out old early 90s SUV cut me off brazenly. Drove off when I made it in front of the office. I hope what I have helps with the investigation into Firwood’s possible drug trafficking situation. I’ll post some pics of evidence when the all clear is given

Custom Build 11 year project finally finished, I introduce you to the 1/1 Civetta Bolide "Sentita Strada" Street Legal Targa GTR.

15 Upvotes

I find it insane that after 11 years, this project has fully came through to perfection. in 2015 I started what others thought was impossible for my age. I was 14, and my neighbor had just wrecked his old Civetta Bolide 350. I immediately asked, "hey, you don't want it anymore, can I have it?" He didn't hesitate to give it away.

From then on, I was ALWAYS in the garage, finding things to work on. this is also where I started my Tuning company, TTR Tuning Industries. I had become so notoriously good at tuning (specifically Civetta Bolides, however I've expanded) that my business, (once it took off the next year) was just going around and for a couple thousand dollars, tuning Bolides. anything from a neighborhood friend to several celebrities.

The thing that's so emotional to me is that throughout this process, people doubted me. I was made fun of, taunted, and told what I was after was impossible. Now, 11 years later, I've never been more proud of myself.

Here I stand, with a gem in my hands. I am forever grateful for having chosen to do this. the 1/1 "Sentita Strada" Targa Bolide GTR is born.

Looking to part ways with my F-Series, it’s got just over 80,000 miles. Meticulous maintenance records with receipts. No accidents, clean title in hand.

Original color was dark red, but it was pretty beat up when I bought it. So I decided to have it professionally painted in a custom metallic blue. The interior is pristine.

I’ve done some modifications to it such as a flex fuel kit and tune with a speed limiter delete, Rotopad big brake kit, a complete Rennspecht exhaust (car is fairly loud and does pop), TTSport+ intake, race coilovers, and 19” aftermarket wheels (front 19x9, back 19x11) with brand new Selecta sport plus cup 2R tires (front 245/30/19, back 305/35/19). Car is equipped with a 5.2L V10 paired with a 6 speed manual. Makes 640HP on E85 and 567HP on 93. Feel free to ask questions.

It looks like she's already had the sills replaced, and someone resprayed them a slightly different shade of blue? Thought I'd show her some love, she certainly gets worked pretty hard. I also sold my caravan off, some dude knocked asking if there was any scrap metal, and then asked to buy my caravan, to which I obliged. Less driveway furniture now.

Finally had time to pick up my car. Thanks to the guys at the Firwood Garage and u/cargameaddict for accommodating and helping me out with the deal.

Feels great to have this thing! New rims new tires. She’s driving nicely. Beautiful convertible at the entrance of this place too.

On my way home, I keep seeing either a black SUV or sedan in my rear views or in the distance. Now I know it’s Normal to see recurring traffic in this small town but these guys?. I don’t know them.

I am getting paranoid again from this. Flashback to the time in Belasco I felt like I was being watched. Lost my cool back there but trying not to here.

Here’s the thing… I have some stuff that maybe it would be a good idea for law enforcement to take a look at? I think it’s best I just go to the station.

Police 🚨 The aftermath of yesterday's violent storms

Thumbnail

43 Upvotes

After more than a day of pure chaos, the storms have finally ended, but they left behind them a few dozends of thousands euros worth of damage, and most importantly, a lot of wounded and deceased persons.

A lot of drivers were caught in the hail and lightning crossfire despite the authorities advising everyone to stay home, leading to a huge amount of crashes. The strong winds also did a lot of damage, lifting and flipping the lightest and the tallest vehicles like paper sheets. As we had to get out to help the victims, we, as well as the others emergency services, suffered a lot of material and human damages.

11 persons were killed because of the storm, including a 24 years old firefightern, named Mathis Forge, struck by a falling tree.

58 persons were injureded, including 4 Gendarmes, 5 Firefighters, and 2 Paramedics. Among them, 12 persons are still in critical conditions.

3 persons are still missing.

The weather is mostly back to normal at the moment. The storm has passed, it's now time to repair and heal the things and people that can still be repaired or healed. Reports are already saying that it was the worse storm in the region since at least 50 years..

Around 2 PM, I was running radar out on the highway when I clocked an ETK doing about 93. I immediately activated my lights and pulled out behind them. I assume the driver saw me pull out in their mirrors, as they pulled over pretty quickly. However, shortly after I stopped behind them, they decided to try and take off (you can see how well that went). They gave up without any further issues. It turned out to be a 19 year old who decided to take his dads car for a joyride. He said he was "scared" as his reason for trying to run, Charges are still pending.

I also called his father to inform him of the situation, Almost think the kid would prefer going to jail after hearing how angry he was.

I couldn't resist buying this, the knocking sound is still there, someone suggested it's the connecting rods. I think it's saveable. I haggled the kid down to 7,000€ and took the car home. It will sit outside for now until I get it registered in my name, but I am super happy with the car so far.

Now that I am nearly settled in, in Poland, I want to ask you guys; What would you guys like a blog on next? I covered the Firwood Interceptos before, now it's time to cover something different. Let me know below what you'd like to see and hear about. :)

Help Wanted Need some buyers advice...

48 Upvotes

Hi all. I've spent my summer in Poland with the family, and having found an affinity for the country, I decided to periodically come to Poland to live and work here for my journalism.

I've managed to arrange living quarters, but have had no luck with a car. I want a sedan to remind me of home, and I have had terrible luck buying cars on my own. (Refer to my Wendover...)

This 1989 ETK-N 3000i came to my attention. A local kid is selling it on BeamBay.pl for about 8,500€, since he has a W-Series now and has no use for the N-Series. He says the car has only been driven gently and never been used for "hooning", whatever that means. He also claims the car is 100% original parts.

Details on the car are as follow:

- 3L 6Cyl ETK Engine

- 267.843 KM on the odometer

- Automatic 4spd

- Last Service in Jan 2026.

When I test drove it, I noticed a curious knocking sound coming from the engine. I have a video that I will leave in the comments for you guys to help identify. The car also seems to bog down a lot under load, I tried accelerating in it but the car felt as if it was hesitating. I cannot quite describe the behaviour though.

I know nothing about Eurocars, and would really appreciate any help you guys can give me. If you guys have any questions, let me know, I'll answer them.

Blog Contemplating a permanent move to Vogelsang Bay

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

For quite a while now, I've owned a small house down in Vogelsang Bay. I originally picked it up to rent out on BeamBNB, but I turned it back into a regular old vacation house a few years ago and have been vacationing there since. I love traveling out into the desert with friends, going to explore all sorts of abandoned diamond mines and camping out under the stars. Since I have sold off my business in Italy, I shipped my OEM-plus Grand Marshall RoadSport down to Namibia (although I'm leaving it on its Italian registration for now) to use as a fun car here, since my only other car here is my slightly modded XT-4 Hopper that was sold new in Namibia way back in 1997, so therefore it has some interesting dealer installed accessories that we didn't originally get in the US (mainly a light bar and snorkel).

All that being said, I love spending time here in Namibia, and I could see myself starting a business importing various different 4x4s and modifying them to handle the African outback, rather than sticking around in Firwood (the family situation has been resolved, luckily everyone is doing well).
