One of my major complaints with BeamNG is that I could never get it to look how I wanted. I’d love a guide on how to achieve what is shown in this video. I have tried so many reshade or 3rd party presets to help with the look. I still feel the game is not very user friendly either. There is just too much going on at times in terms of the menu. I’d love a dumbed down ‘arcade’ settings preset.
The menu is a massive improvement. I’ve been messing with it a couple hours this morning and whilst yes, it looks better I am definitely seeing a large drop in FPS especially when traffic is added.
I saw an fps drop too. Normally I can play between High and Ultra with the latter only giving the mildest of stutters. If I tweak individual settings, even ultra runs well.
After the update, I can only run High and I have to tune the settings to make it work well.
Having said that, high looks pretty good right now, so I’m not sure it is really comparable with the old high setting!
My youngest has a thousand hours plus in this game, but every time I’ve seen him play it, he spends more time faffing about in the menus than driving it. I made a comment about it one day, and he said that’s what’s fun about it. (His Steam review just says “It’s not bad” LOL)
I kind of agree, though, although I prefer just driving in it. There’s a setting for everything. I wish more games were as configurable.
That said, I understand your frustration with that.
I can see it almost being a very useful “tool” for people who are so inclined. Race teams using it for sim training etc, i think you could even learn to drive with it, but for me it just doesnt cut it as a game. Not yet, well, its been around what 10 years?
Totally fair. My go to gag for that kind of comment is “well it’s only in early access” :)
It is very much a sandbox where you have to make your own fun. I personally like to just hop in and drive around because I reckon it has the best feeling force feedback and driving physics in any simulator available. And the fear of crashing is real, especially in VR.
I can recommend Jimmy Broadbent’s Beamng videos from over the years. There’s some wild and wonderful scenarios on there.
You can achieve a lot more with environment and time of day settings in the game itself than some random reshade preset. Especially now with these changes. Dramatic lighten is key

Well, this video is about an update so maybe now it has changed?
Also, the menus have also been adjusted in the same update, maybe you could check it out if you haven’t already?

I’ve downloaded it, but, and I know this sounds crazy its just too hot and sticky to be playing games in the UK right now.
It’s 25°C with >60% humidity at 12 am here, I can very much relate.
You meant pm, midnight?

00:00 vs. 12:00 is less confusing.

I think there are mods that essentially use BeamNG to make a game
