Development[edit]
On 28 May 2012, BeamNG released a YouTube video titled 'Revolutionary soft-body physics in CryEngine3'.[1] 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.[2]BeamNG.drive relies heavily on coding in Lua, and uses packets of local data using the Lua network system while the game is running.
BeamNG's website, beamng.com, was opened on 8 May 2012 to deliver news of their development of the simulator.[3]
The game was placed on an open vote on Steam Greenlight on 12 February 2014[4] and was greenlit eight days later.[5]
On 29 May 2015, the game was released to Steam Early Access.[6]
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.[7]
Gameplay[edit]
BeamNG.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.
The game implements its soft-body physics to both control vehicle dynamics as well as to control the collisions between objects and vehicles.[8][9][10]
As of July 13, 2018, players can import their Automation cars into the game.
Physics[edit]
BeamNG.drive uses a real-time, soft-body dynamics physics structure to simulate its vehicles. Algorithms have been written for the physics equations to be carried out.[11] Vehicles in the game consist of a soft-body, node-beam structure, similar to the vehicle structure in Rigs of Rods. The physics engine simulates a network of interconnected nodes and beams which combine to form an invisible skeleton of a vehicle with realistic weights and masses. In terms of soft-body physics, vehicles realistically flex and deform as stresses to the skeleton, such as impacts from collisions, are applied. The game's engine constantly calculates physics equations and problems in real-time during gameplay.[12]
Reception[edit]
Jack Stewart of BBC mentioned that BeamNG.drive 'has received interest from the film industry to model vehicle stunts, so that they can be prototyped and tested exhaustively – but cheaply – before a stunt driver smashes up a car on set.'[10]Polygon's Nick Robinson lauded the game's simulated physics and user-created content support, leading him to create an ongoing video series for Polygon, 'Car Boys', in which he and Griffin McElroy spotlighted new BeamNG.drive content each week.[13][14]

Among the wide range of car simulators available, we sometimes miss a more realistic one in which we don't have to escape, chase or compete against anyone. Just drive as we would do with an ordinary car, but with the safety and affordability of doing so from our computer. If you're looking for something similar, you should try out BeamNG.drive.
From a Lamborghini to a delivery van; drive whatever you want.
The game offers us a realistic driving experience to an even more realistic physical behavior of the vehicles. The vehicle behavior and the violence of the crashes intend to show us how it would be to drive some of these vehicles in real life.
Features
- 7 different types of vehicles.
- Wide range of missions to be completed: from delivering a parcel to driving around the mountain.
- 7 environments to be explored.
- Possibility to create your own maps and cars.
- Land editor.
- Possibility to download mods.
The requirements necessary to run the game aren't too demanding, at least if we only want to be able to launch the game, although the truth is that for a better performance we'll need a computer with high graphics power and a gamepad.
- This is a pay-to-play game that can be downloaded through Steam.
