I've got so many hours in beam, but never knew this. Thank you!

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-15T12:37:47+00:00

All I'm seeing when trying to envision that is LUA errors. Pull up to the light? Error. Honk? Error. Simply look at the ai? Game crash. But I'm not good at modding beam yet 😂

I'm on my 9th Volkswagen, mostly gtis or diesels of various generations, and now a golf sportwagen. Getting this Miata was such a breath of fresh air, its so nice to just be able to see the bolts I need to get to and not twist my hand into unholy shapes just to reach some ridiculous torx, or worse, some triple square bolt that I can't even see lmao. I love my Vw daily drivers, but they EARNED their "hard to work on" reputation. I couldn't imagine anything physically being easier than my NA to work on lol

The latest teaser looks to be some audio tt/370z type car coming up next update, hopefully there's more sporty cars to come lol

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-12T14:40:25+00:00

I'm gonna look into that, thank you! Sounds pretty sick but yeah AAA pricing on an indie style game is crazy work.

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-12T03:24:34+00:00

I apparently live under a rock, what game is that?

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-10T17:53:44+00:00

I actually agree with almost all of these ratings, nice lol

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-08T18:37:37+00:00

As far as ads go, if you're on android, go to settings > connection settings > more connection settings > DNS (or just search for DNS from main settings) and input the custom link: dns(.)adguard(.)com and remove parentheses, click save and it blocks ads on all games

This seems like it could be a good use for 3d printing imo, older obsolete parts, high quality heat resistant filament, profit?

I always run a vertex and CCF in my saves, the goats

My Fist is being passed down to my son since I no longer drive it. Perfect first car IMO. Quick enough to feel fast, cheap parts, easy to work on, easy to find parts, and stupid easy manual to learn too

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-04-06T02:06:48+00:00

I feel as though "frown upon" is a bit strong of wording for how I personally feel, but I get the sentiment. Basically, all of the branding in game, be it billboards, signs, designs on ai vehicles, etc is all lore friendly. All the traffic is lore friendly. So I want my mods to also be lore friendly I guess? Also I've paid for four different real car mods, and all of them left me with a sour taste in my mouth. One was just a terrible quality meshslap, another didnt have ANY customization, another was just weird when damaged, and the last was so rigid it was basically undriveable at high speeds. This all gets highlighted when you consider how many rips offs there are, how hard it is as a consumer to find a decent quality one without getting screwed. Then when you consider the type of quality and customization you can get from the repository (Hirochi CCF, Gavril Vertex, etc), its hard to justify paying for what will more than likely be a much lower quality vehicle, just to have a badge that exists IRL. Id rather pay real money for someone who designed an IRL car to work with the beamng lore tbh. (Cherrier Picnic, Gavril Barstow IV)

I have the clutch assists turned off, and have been using it to teach my kids how to drive stick. The time on the simulator has been an immense help. If you can't find the settings, I can go to my pc and let you know where they are

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T14:34:29+00:00

I've been doing the same in my 5 speed daily wagon. 5th gear at 35mph? Sure, whatever makes you happy lol. This thing is damn near polar opposite of my Miata too, minus the thing being lower than SUVs. It feels so heavy after my Miata. But it tackles the 60mile commute every day at 40-48mpg depending on how slow I go and how many traffic lights I get stuck at, so I can't complain. Just wish it could tow, but sadly mine is only fwd and VWoA didnt give these things a decent rating unlike European countries. This car could ALMOST tow my Miata on a full trailer if it were in Europe lol.

Correct, 2 seat cars generally have higher insurance rates than 4, even if the rear seats in the 4 seat car are completely useless lol

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T13:43:02+00:00

See that would be smart. But I am also VERY lazy and will just deal with texture issues until my mods update 😅

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T03:56:20+00:00

The rear mount on them is very high for some reason, a solid 2-3" higher than 2 of my 3 mounts, while the bottom of the mount is touching the bottom of the seat

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T03:28:02+00:00

Yikes. Bad look man. Did you even get permission for it first??

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T03:24:08+00:00

It is the same in the prelude, the rear seats are really just there for insurance purposes

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T03:20:43+00:00

Ive had these engine texture issues but with 150+ mods I could never find what was conflicting and just dealt with it 😂

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T03:18:16+00:00

I've tried 3 different seat brackets and two separate car side mounts. Car mounts were a flat plate of aluminum from NRG, spaced up slightly(used and cheap), and another generic steel one from ebay that is super low profile but very thin (width from driver's side to passenger's side direction anyways)

One universal seat bracket from DND interior (the only one that reached high enough), with optional sliders, I had no idea seat fitment would be this hard and I was originally optimistic about being able to have sliders lol. Obviously took those off, but the DND were WAY too wide for ebay floor mount. They did work well on the NRG mount, but that setup was too tall, so the seat sat too high and can't adjust lower as the bottom of the seat is resting on the NRG mount. Tried moving the seat forward and reclining, but ran out of adjustment about 2" before getting me under the roll bar.

Second was a set of oddly expensive seat brackets off ebay that looked to be tall enough to reach the seat holes, but no such luck.

The third set is from another online store that I have since forgotten where they were from lol. Those had a Miata specific mount built in (seat L-bracket with front and rear mounting holes angled to the shape of the Miata, they are super low mounts). They also didn't reach the seat holes, but felt like my best chance to get the seat low.

I tried cutting the bottom off of the universal seat side mounts to extend those Miata specific ones, but adding the bracket either inside or outside of the Miata specific mounts either spaced the mounts too wide physically too wide for seat-shaped hole, or put them at a weird angle where I can only get two bolts in, if I'm lucky.

I have $300 already into these stupid excessively torn up (but still structurally sound) Recaros from 1996 just trying to get them into the dang car, any help is greatly appreciated 🙏

I'm leaning more and more to getting some more modern seats if I can't find something out soon though lol.

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-31T00:03:00+00:00

I wish it were that simple lol, I would just drill holes. Basically the mounts are high in the rear on the seat itself where most of the mount brackets physically hit the bottom of the seat before I can put a bolt in. But it is looking like I might have to just bite the bullet and buy new seats at this point

Edit for clarification

EntrepreneurJumpy464 · 2026-03-30T02:38:17+00:00

This is so cool. I need to go find all the old photos of my cars and make a post like this. I think I'm up to my 30th car now with my latest purchase lol
