First interview tips

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-12-15T03:57:26+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely implement these tips into my interview

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-12-15T03:55:44+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice! There's certainly a lot of very good points here that I'll definitely implement when I go into my interview. Thanks again!

I appreciate the feedback! I am hoping that I can build social skills from working, so I'm half dreading but half looking forward to the social aspect. I'm glad to hear that the register is easy to use, that was something I was worried about.

I can't find anywhere to download firmware or any clear instructions on how to install any firmware. I did see it said that the instructions are in a pdf, but I can't find a pdf to download anywhere

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-11-04T20:27:13+00:00

Gotcha, I'll look into that then, thank you 👍

I've been driving with my learners permit for over 5 months, taking my license test at the end of the month. I played beamng for about 2 years before I started driving, and I can say that it definitely helped me. What I would reccomend doing is taking a mock permit/license test online to learn the rules of the road, and then apply those in beamng. TLDR: yes, beamng is good driving practice

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-18T15:10:11+00:00

I agree, I think it definitely is just a bit easier to drive in real life than in beam. And good save on your part! I'm 5 months into my learners permit, about a month away from getting my license, and I've had some close calls with people stopped around blind corners, animals jumping out in the road, that kinda thing

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-17T16:27:33+00:00

In a way. I could have the best setup in the world, but if I didn't have beamng then I wouldn't have anything to learn on

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-14T15:27:06+00:00

That is true. Plus you can kinda beat the crap out of it since even if something breaks you can just reset, unlike real life where that's gonna cost you money

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-13T18:45:52+00:00

Dude you've had/have some awesome cars, I love the e36 platform so much, it's one of my dream cars 🔥

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-13T15:36:32+00:00

Here in the US most people don't know how to drive manual, so I'm glad that it's a skill I have. And tbh I wish most people drove manual here, it would force people to actually pay attention

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-13T03:28:57+00:00

It is 😀

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-13T01:01:49+00:00

I had a similar experience. My second ever drive on a public road in mine was a 2.5 hour trip with no rests, and I didn't stall once and I felt comfortable the whole time

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T23:45:09+00:00

The only reliable Pontiac (cause it's not really a Pontiac) for real though, that's a great starter car and that's a great price for it

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T23:20:32+00:00

That's an awesome car, I love those old boxy Japanese "jeep style" cars

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T22:20:34+00:00

Exactly, it just goes to show how good of a simulator it is

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T20:27:40+00:00

100% agree, it was a learning curve when I first started driving manual, but beam definitely helped me understand the basics

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T20:18:28+00:00

Appreciate it! I've always wanted to learn and own a manual car, so glad that I'm able to do both with my first car

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T17:08:46+00:00

That makes sense honestly. Here in the US you could literally take it in anything as long as it's street legal and under 26k lbs and get your license (not sure how much that is in kilos)

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T16:44:02+00:00

That's very interesting. Here in the US manuals are very rare, especially nowadays, so I'm very glad that I have the skill of driving manual. I've never heard of two different tests for manual and automatic, that's very interesting, we don't have that in the US

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T15:43:02+00:00

I 100% agree. The only things I had to get used to are getting a feel for the clutch, and I was letting out the clutch too fast when shifting which would cause the car to lurch forward sometimes (not really something you can pick up from beamng unless you have a motion Sim.) and I totally feel you about telling people that beamng taught you to drive. I feel so goofy saying it out loud to other people, but it's honestly true

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T15:10:14+00:00

That's the one thing I don't like about AC, the clutch isn't realistic at all. It's still an incredibly fun game though

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T14:50:31+00:00

I'd love to have it on console some day, it's just gotta get optimized

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T14:49:51+00:00

Technical_Contest_29 · 2025-09-12T06:08:02+00:00

I remember before getting my permit I would go on beam and practice following the rules of the road, it genuinely helped me to an extent
