- I've said it forever, but this game genuinely has the potential to be the greatest offroad simulator ever created. I really hope the devs find that last 5%.

BeamNG dev here, I am the one that did the 3D art for the trophy truck. Amazing driving! Also yes, driving the ingame TT is so scary at high speeds xD
also I really appreciate the nice words about it too :D
also just finished the video! I will forward the rally ideas onwards too ;D
@@ferrettankror1 yes thankyou for your work on this game, it truly is amazing fun to play, i persoanlly think it could become one of the best road racing games to, the driving just feels so perfect
@@ferrettankror1 please please please turn this game into a dominant off roader !! Real Baja 1000, King of Hammers ! It HAS to be done. Best thing would be to make a complete standalone which is dedicated just to off road so that BeamNG stays the sandbox that it is !
@@ferrettankror1 You're a legend. I really dig some of the new rally time trials on the remastered Automation test track, just need more like that!
Beam as a base for a Dakar game would be insane.
I would preffer the Baja 1000 cuz that is actually playable as you can attempt Ironman. Dakar is beast and all but how can you play over all those days without work getting in the way.
@Louis Nel lol youre right I'll just have to use a week of my vacation time
@@louisnel894 it could have mid event saves like F1 does.
Just had the same idea, I was reminded of Dakar instantly when I watched this
@@louisnel894 long weekend maybe 😂 or could do each stage in segments one day at a time like every Saturday or something
Trophy Truck racing is an insane motorsport. Too bad its difficult to televise because they are screaming through the desert and even helicopters have to really try to keep up when they are flat out
that and a few incidents in the 90's that made big sponsors pull their funding, and then tv stations stopped filming because their wasn't money in it
Yeah Mint 400 is epic to watch.
@@geehammer1511 It's even more epic to race in! Competed in the motos last month.
I want a Score International Baja 1000/500/400/San Felipe 250 official game
Not as insane as that one 2440hp big rig
Too bad someone crashed and then they said no more of that
Technically, it's what's called a "manualised automatic," which as the name suggests, is an automatic gearbox that has been made so that it doesn't shift gears automatically. That might sound weird, but it means that you get the higher torque handling you get with an automatic, as well as not having to use the clutch between gear shifts. It's really cool that they actually model this in game.
More importantly, the torque convertor cushions the constant abrupt mismatches between wheel speed and ground speed caused by all the bumps and jumps, which would destroy a clutch a short order.
@@5thearth thus all gt and formula cars are stepropic or automatic manual
@@5thearth a clutch at the very least
@@yugimotobutjacked3231 No, most have sequentials. Nothing remotely close to a manual valve body torque converter auto.
@@MarchuxProductions I mean sequential not stepropic
Beamng's suspension physics modelling is absolutely INSANE. By far the best on the market. There was a dev blog where they went into detail about how everything is simulated physically according to the intrinsic nature of components, not using predefined lookup tables like every other sim does. Its so cool :D
That's the beauty with BeamNG. Also, their throttle controller model doesn't use look-up tables compared to other Simulators. The suspensions being all physically simulated and soft-body makes it possible for BeamNG to place potholes, tarmac patches, bumps/speed bumps or any uneven surfaces just to stress test it's simulation. BeamNG could take a full laser scanned map of any real world location and wouldn't need to cut through hoops to fit it's physics model, that's how good the suspensions are.
When they finally implement AngeTheGreat's physics based sound engine It's gonna be ever more insane!
I like how beamng slowly through the years evolved from the "lol crashing sim xD" into the best overall road vehicle sim. Second best simulator of road cars, closely behind Assetto Corsa.
Once they get tire temps and tweak the tire model just a little bit more (it's already 300% better compared to how it was two years ago) it can very well become the best driving sim for any kind of car, including racing cars, fully stop.
@@dylan538 That's how it started from ordinary crashing simulator to overall best for everything Off-roading/Crawling. Best physics for Ultra-4's, Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks, Pick-up Trucks, Buggies, and so on. Best physics to drive a Bus/Capsule. Best simulated automatic transmission in any driving/racing game. Only Simulator with great modelled DCT and CVT transmissions.
It's being used for Monster Jam, Demolition derby, Drag Racing, Rock crawling and Desert Racing events because thanks to softbody physics DemoDerby cars, Monster Trucks, Off-roaders and Drag vehicles are much more realistic than anything on the market. If these guys had AAA budget and team size I think they'd do wonders. Their engine is too versatile.
@@dylan538 gran turismo 2 and 3 are wonderful drivers training aids, the physics aren't there but the concepts and fundamentals are all there to teach you how to drive/race.
Personally, I think those games really separated young drivers. Those that played them usually were more competent behind the wheel than those that didn't. That was certainly the case in my friend group growing up, I was one of the only guys that could still reliably drive safely even when we were all fucked up, the only one who could drive a stick smoothly... I put one of my old buddies in my Sim rig and he couldn't even stay on the track in dirt rally 2.0, so I put him on tarmac in gran turismo 7 and he still couldn't keep it on the track, just zero concept of how to handle a corner at speed. In his defense the only type of racing (game or otherwise) he's done has been like, Mario kart or crash team racing, when we were kids.
OGs remember the orange bolide murder machine. And the "Cougar" engine sound.
Beamng is honestly gonna become the best game of all time at this pace
+1
this makes me laugh because i have had the game since 2013. it will be the best game of all time, but not at any pace.
That’s a stretch imo, at least narrow it down to racing games 😂
assetto who? xD
maybe my settings are just trash, but it feels like they still have a long way to go on tarmac. it's already my favorite sim for rock crawling though, and it's definitely in my top 3 for rally. ( but that rock crawling though bruh. the fully realized suspension physics + animations with the damage model always looming over your shoulder reminding you that speed is your enemy make it the most immersive sim experience i've had rock crawling)
If the devs ever add tire temperature/varying traction depending on tire temperature then it’ll be a game changer for off road simulation
yeah, pretty sure they said they're working on it
@@KristisG they've "been working" on it since the game started development. The problem is that doing it in a way that doesn't destroy fps and require a complete rework of their tire simulation has been extremely difficult
@@LethalSpine many people thought that 0.28 was supposed to update then tire physics along with the automation test track but I guess they’re going to do that in the next update or two
Even tarmack racing
@@KristisG I highly doubt that. The update speculation threads are so detached from reality that it's hilarious. I've been part of the BeamNG community for almost a decade now and 99% of the people who speculate about updates have no clue what they're talking about
I just have to send gigantic kudos to Jimmy's editor, this seamless signature transitions and the ammount of memes turn an already good Jimmy's gameplay into LMAO perfection
the racing world has been missing a proper Baja simulator
20 year pc gamer here, has been missing since the beginning, this is the first baja pc sim
Definitely gets better with every update!
I've been really happy to see Beam get more recognized for its racing quality than just its (admittedly very enjoyable) crash simulation. I think I first got it around 2015, and it's been amazing to see BeamNG and its community build so much wonderful stuff.
Indeed! BeamNG got everything.. Cruising, Tuning, (Street-) Racing, Drifting, Rock Climbing, Offroad etc. . Im soo excited where all this is going.
Also, I cant remember the date where I saw BeamNG the very first time. I only know that I started to get into Rigs of Rods back in the day and then saw a trailer from the BeamNG developers. I couldnt have trusted myself if I havent seen it :)
BeamNG appeals to a wide audience. It has elements of many popular sim/driving games rolled into one.
This is not just a good rally game, but actually good on asphalt too. I have spent a lot of time racing people online in BeamMP :)
The tire physics with asphalt are holding it back a bit compared to iRacing or ACC but it's really coming into shape, I think it will get there. And once you've done racing where looking after your car matters, it's hard to go back to something like ACC where you can absolutely trash your car and keep racing like nothing happened.
If they could combine these physics with Dakar Desert Rally's roadbooks and massive maps, I would be in heaven
The whole this about being able to just do what you like in simracing is one of the big things I hope becomes the focus in future games. It would make competitive racing so much more fun if taking stupid lines over kerbs etc. would just kill your steering.
The sound of a can crushing while your car runs over its own exhaust. Brilliant editor chan!
The new refreshed Automation testtrack has a new great mixed rallying stage, you should really try it out.
Beamng Multiplayer does work quite well for racing and time attacking with friends.
If you are trying to time attack there is a widget you can add to your hud that allows you to setup checkpoints and log your times.
Great to see BeamNG getting more exposure! I have only recently discovered this myself and the physics engine is truly mind blowing. Can't wait to get stuck into this new update. Hopefully this title will continue to grow and grow 💪🏻
You've gotten way better with driving that truck from the first couple scenarios you did with it. Looks like you really got the hang of floating over the whoops at high speed.
15:40 1nsane music under BeamNG video just hit in all the right places for me. A nice nod to those squishy cars from 2000.
You know it's going to be a good one when you have the Korone sound clip over a rolling, self-disassembling truck. There's really nothing else that comes close to this game.
i still stand by the fact that if beam added rally scenarios with pacenotes there would be literally no competition
Finally building my first game rig this week in well over a decade, this game is probably the first one I'm going to play a lot on it as I will finally have a machine capable of more than 10 fps. Great video and I can't wait to get frustrated on my driving skill trying these scenarios.
there should be a button to raise the seat somewhere in the options. there is also a rally mode mod with a bunch of time trials on a few maps..
There is! If you enable seat adjustments in Options > Camera > Driver Camera, you can then use WASD to move and tilt the seat however you like on each car :)
@@stenyak Essential
@@stenyak yes thank you for pointing that out more precisely! i knew it was there somewhere but you can more easily get lost in beams menus than on the maps 😅
BeamNG has been one of the best mod scenes I’ve ever been involved in. The off road and monster truck scene is incredible.
This game needs a leaderboard system for scenarios, would be so cool to compete against other people
Would be sick with trackmania style lap ghosts
it has but its external, theres speedrunners
Beam is my favourite driving game of all time. The way the driving physics have come on mixed with the massive accidents you can have plus the awesome beammp mod has made it the best for me. Few mates, nordschlife mod and some hot lapping make for an evening well spent
One of those new viewers, and absolutely love you dude, really wish I had found you years ago. So impressed with what I've learned about your journey and you're pretty entertaining
Love to see this kind of action from you as a sim racer! Just as you do, i miss the old Dirt rally games where we raced trucks, buggys and lorrys.
But then with this thing as a base for the an off road racing game, WAOW that would be great ! :D
I think that with a base like BeanNG or Mud/SnowRunner we could get loads of nice Baja, Rally Raid, Dakar Rally, Mint, Ultra4 race action! Action you couldn't finde any other place.
Thanks for the action Jimmy! keep up the flying speed in your trucks! :D
Yaaaas more BeamNG content! I have been OBSESSED with this game for the last few months and have put over a hundred hours in. The suspension physics are so awesome to tune and the tire deformation is wild. Keep playing this game, sir!
Also there is multiplayer, there's a mod called BeamMP. It works fine and is fucking great when you can get a few randos to do some risky racing
I love watching the suspension over the bumps with this car/map combo
The new update has actually improved the tire model, which has really improved how cars drive on pavement!
Fake info, there was no such thing on the update changelog.
@NicOz Beam tends to not mention everything in changelogs, if you compare pre and post update you can tell pretty quickly
@@lordjuvenile9068 I felt no change and I have 2500 hours on BeamNG with a steering wheel. I'm sure they would mention something this big at least briefly.
From crashing a pickup into a wall on the gridmap simulator to a competent racing game. It's amazing to see how far this game has gotten
so great to see jiommy so happy and hyped for something and imagining what could be possible :)
The sound of the soda can crushing as he runs over the exhaust after the first crash gave me a giggle.
I'm not even really into rally driving but I love watching you drive through these x)
Jimmy driving like Jake Benham on the first lap of a co-op career mode race with Jarno
Really looking forward to the full release story mode. And yes u are spot on with your rally suggestions. This game has it all
0:05 was that wild Korone?
Racing series for this is called bdr series and has a patreon for all sorts of off road buggies and trophy trucks.
Unexpected Korone noises
I remember driving trophy trucks around in one of the MX games, and I thought it was the coolest truck ever. Such amazing vehicles.
Aah that 1nsane menu music at the end of the video gave me super nostalgia, nice touch and omage to that legendary offroad game.
Like James May, "keep your thumbs outside of the wheel" is the only thing I know about off-roading, and it's brilliant advice for BeamNG.
RBR cars and Tracks + BeamNG = Gold
The world needs this
To be honest the RBR physics is way closer to the real thing, especially on tarmac. But the visual damage (soft body physics) is cool in BeamNG.
@@jendabekCZ It's because Beam devs are still working on the node-beam tyre models for a wide array of surfaces over the years. They're even working on surfaces more than any Simulator and these things will take years to get to irl accuracy with lots of research. If they used the same Empirical model that games like RBR are using they'd have been ahead on tarmac years ago.
Snowrunner deformation + BeamNG = Gold. Although I don't think Snowrunners deformation is that realistic.
@@kak8895 If developing physics better than in a 2004 game takes 10 years or so (BeamNG has been released in 2015), then I am not sure it is the right way to go. But it is their decision for sure - I don't know what their priorities are.
It'd be cool to have a comparative Baja/Rally Raid vehicles throughout the years video Jimmy, kindve like comparing the WRC cars and Group B cars. Seeing the strengths and weaknesses of these desert munchers
Loving the fact your so happy and in a great space! ❤
Re: Online leaderboards
Would be really nice to have. However, due to the moddable nature of BeamNG it would be trivial to cheat in an almost endless number of ways. Lots of the games code is scripts that are user accessible and can be modified. Vehicle files can be modified, maps can be modified, objects can be placed. etc etc. This is before we get to traditional cheating (like in F1 esports etc) and RAM hacks.
So its not going to be so easy for the devs to do. Steam Friend list leaderboards or discord group leaderboards should be doable on an honour system though. Would be super cool.
Can't wait to play this properly, haven't had a PC for over 10years, when I last played this it was called rigs of rods 👀😂
Wow I remember the drag races and mudding and truck pulls on there 😮
@@eyesturnedeverinward I'm into trucks so it made sense, but Gavril I think it's called which is on Beam, were insanely detailed and had such good physics models, it was great
I totally agree with you !! We need more stuff like this in Beamng !!!
Tarmack is really good too, I love it and I prefer it to Assetto to cruise on multiplayer
inspiring video! Ive seen it today morning and tried the stage this evening: 5:18! ...with a lot of tries. Very cool and impressive feeling with this car on high speed time trail
I actually bought BeamNG a year or two ago basically on the strength of one of Jimmy's earlier videos. And he's right, nothing else comes near for actual simulation of real driving.
Not gonna lie, I wouldn't mind seeing a heartrate monitor synced up with these off-road scenarios. They look like a hell of a workout with a DD wheel
That 1Nsane background music just gave me goosebumps of nostalgia though!
This game needs a whole rally update with Group B, Group A and WRC cars, and rally stages
Yes and a co pilot reading the pace notes
Love following with my own wheel and seeing it being almost completely lined up to your driving haha
This game needs VR support so i can yeet myself out of my car in real time
BeamNG is absolutely the king of offroad sims right now. Even rock crawling, which is usually done at very slow speeds is so satisfying and no other game comes close to giving this type of experience. The way every suspension, body, and mechanical components interact with each other while driving is truly unique.
Entertaining as always Jimmer!
5:20.666 in-car cam. I had the most trouble with the beginning. Lots of places very easy to roll that thing.
There's a mod scenario (Adds to the freeroam map) called the "Johnson Valley 50" that this scenario uses a lot of. That one's even harder to finish and much longer of a course. You should give it a try!
I think I remember the live stream where you tried this. I was playing alongside you and managed to just squeeze out that sub 5:30 time before you, but then you completely smashed my time once you got used to it.
I’m just waiting for the day when they host legit races, imagine doing the 24hrs of Lemans or Nurburghring In this game! 💀
Beam NG is so great for offroad driving! Both the fast stuff like this, but also the slow crawling. Beam NG could make a rally game, or even a great competitor for SnowRunner if they just decided to add the gameplay. Hopefully they will ;)
Beamng with its physics engine is an awesome simulator in every aspect. Track racing? There you go! Sequential transmission, slick tires, racetracks (the only thing missing here is more official racing scenarios and realistic racecar setups like Civetta Scintilla GT3) Drifting? Easy! Get an RWD car, a good steering wheel and off you go! Or just car modding? Tons of parts and settings for that
Scenario stream when? Carried me through having covid over christmas last year, would love to see some more of those, they're fantastic entertainment
Such a good time watching you play BeamNG!
Hope Jimmo comes out to the states and actually tries a trophy/pre-runner truck. It would be epic.
I hear 1nsane soundtrack in the background and this scenario for sure captures that Nostalgic feeling in that game!
I just started getting into Beam ng and it took 2 days just to set my wheel and tablet buttons (Sim Dashboard) up and I'm still not totally done. I'm gonna need to make a wallchart as a reminder of some of the controls. The depth is alarming but welcome. So much fun to drive though. Like last night I took a car into the city and repeatedly crashed into things at high speed just to see the carnage.
I honestly think the devs are only limited by time right now, as in how long it takes to actually make new content. I remember checking it out a few years ago and there wasn't much to it but now there's tons of varied stuff there.
I freakin' love BeamNG. I've been making my own mods for it, which I haven't done for any other game in a long time. It helps that they used the open source COLLADA model format and data files that can be edited with a regular text editor
I'm betting that scenario was pretty fun - how can it fail to be, when even the truck is grinning like a maniac?
Trophy Trucks are 3 speed Automatics (turbo400).
Usually they are Spec built LS3 engines 525hp
The suspension on those can cost upwards of $250k
Those ones arent the true trophy trucks... thats a smaller spec class, the real trophy trucks have easily over 800 horsepower.
a segs bot stole your comment lol
5:12 that parking spot is quite genius. 🤣🤣
Jimmer having fun=Use viewers having fun watching Jimmer.
Been watching Beamng content since probably around 2014/2015 and I still love it just as much
There is a pretty good community for offroad stuff on here. There beam wheeler (nix) and rough country crawling for well, rock crawling lol. There's BDR for desert racing stuff as well. Tons of stuff out there and tons of potential for this game 😊
We gotta get you to 1 million subs Jimmy
Love the 1nsane menu music at the end
This game needs to introduce a cost for replacing damaged parts. Setting records would actually mean something if you have something to loose.
Loving the Jimmy comeback.
This is by far the most realistic offroad racing I have ever seen.
Dakar and SCORE should be lining up to make games based off of this
The beam developers are ones of the people I respect the most. Paired with Wube who made Factorio. Best of the best. Definitely looking forward to more of this!
I live about 45 minutes outside of Johnson valley. The King of The Hammers event is legendary.
I really find it very hard to find rally mods on this game. I do found one dedicated rally map on this game which is pretty small but very good. It's called douglas rally 2019. Good thing some modders are also porting assetto corsa mods into this game so we might be getting more some time in the future
GREAT Jimmy !!! Your BeamNG videos are always so funny, entertaining, educational and honest at the same time, can't stop watching them 😆😆😆😃. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤ !!!
I wish you and your beloved ones all the best,
Sincerely, Alex from Germany.
PS: I can literally feel your pain watching you driving through the "hell of Beamng" and wincing in your seat 😉
One of my favourite motorsports is trophy truck racing because well it’s absolutely incredible and they have massive V8’s and who doesn’t like that but I’d love to see an even bigger map of that style stuff with more trucks more everything really as it’s pretty rare to get that sort of stuff in games
Beam NG is just the best... awesome video, Jimmer!
Playing the 1nsane music bed at the end of this video seems very apt for this game
I can’t wait to have them get a little bit better at circuit races and endurance racing scenarios.
Now i imagine how cool would be play AC or Dirt Rally with those crash physics
I would be crashing a lot? Yes, but it would be a happy crash
I wholeheartedly agree Jim, a seriously underestimated title, on a motion rig, nothing beats it. My promise to you I guarantee. May do some footage on it myself actually...
well, cant wait for the scuffed supra at brands hatch, thats gonna be fun. Also thanks Jimmer, keep doing what youre doing, because its awesome.
15:50 thank you for so plainly saying this. I do a lot of real life off road stuff and this simulator is fucking gold.
The music from Codemasters' Insane game is so fitting
I seriously need to try this game
Damn a 9pm upload, always love a bmng video jimmer. Keep up the jolly good work
This man deserves 1 million subs, let's all help him to achieve this milestone!
Also jimmy tip for ya if u use Cocpit view adjust the FOV when the FOV is larger (for me atleast mine is set at 72.3 ) gives a better understanding of what the vehicle is doin. Cheers mate all love
the aluminum can crinkle when he runs over the muffler is golden
your editor is a legend
