I woke up this morning sweating. This game gives me nightmares. So did Rigs of Rods, but I haven't played that in months and the dreams stopped happening. Now they are back again. It's always the same. I try to parallel park but I keep smashing into everything because I can't feather the clutch properly. The brakes don't work. I jam the handbrake on with all my strength, but the car is still moving. Even when the wheels have stopped rolling I am slowly sliding and wobbling down the smallest of inclines, drifting towards a cliff or a woman with a pram who is completely oblivious to me. I can't find flat ground to stop safely. I am trapped in my car while it is destroying everything around me.
You guys heard of [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDpOcx0qC-s"]Spin Tires[/URL]? Similar game in regards to being a sandbox/simulator, but less about crashing and more about terrain interaction.

Stiffer suspension for the Gavril Grand Marsmallow.
Select "Performance independant front suspension" from the Ctrl+W list and it makes any front shocks stiffer. Also comes with 5 speed manual gearbox, supercharged V8 engine, race front coilovers, race rear springs and race rear shocks. Add sports wheels and front swaybar, and rear swaybar and it makes a pretty okay tarmac rally car.

18FPS with 6 cars? I'd say it's a pretty average PC with a quadcore.
How did you add cars? I wanna see what kind of FPS I get.

Press J to freeze the physics (cars tend to spawn in each other, this gives you a chance to move them out), then press F11 to open the world editor. Go to the Library tab of the window on the right, then the Level tab, then open BeamNG and choose BeamNG Vehicle, you'll be able to spawn what you want from a dropdown window.
I played the free demo today and it was loads of fun. Seeing other videos make me want to get the paid alpha thing.

If you're considering it get it now, the current phase is the cheapest it'll be and you get all future updates/the full game for free.

Ah I'll go get it now then.
Ok I'm a bit confused, it says £9.50 for access but it wants to charge me £21.50.

Did you not accidentally click one of the "give a bit extra" options?

Yeah I'm a tard. In the end it wouldn't let me just pay the base price so I gave them an extra pound.
How do you get a spawned car to drive? I want to do a cool takedown.
[QUOTE=pip12345;41797536]How do you get a spawned car to drive? I want to do a cool takedown.[/QUOTE]
Set it accelerating, hold down accelerator and switch to another car.

There's no AI yet. There is a workaround here though [url]http://www.beamng.com/threads/2088-Enable-AI[/url]
I can't access the thread because I'm a new user though so I have no idea what the workaround is.
Edit: also does it keep crashing for anyone else, especially when they use the level editor?

Upgrade your account, you'll have gotten a link in the purchase email.
Haven't experienced any crashes specific to the level editor, it just crashes randomly for me since it's an alpha.

You can't access any of the drive specific sub forums till you register your forum account.
There's a special link that is included in the email you get as a receipt for purchasing the game. It took me a while to find it, since I didn't read the email the first time. I just wanted to get to the bit where I could creatively smash some cars into things :D
As far as switching cars is concerned, you can do that by pressing Tab after you've created new vehicles. Stopping the simulation with J first is really useful as well. I've found that you can move the cars around, but if you rotate them the visual mesh disconnects from the simulation, and you'll have cars driving around sideways and such.
My preferred technique is to position the cars, set the handbrakes, and go into time delay. I can then rev the engine up, tab to the next car and do the same. Once the engines are good, I tab to each and pop the parking brakes. It will remember the last throttle position and your cars will keep driving. The only odd thing is that it will sometimes stick at full throttle and you'll need to use the vehicle menu to spawn the car again to clear it. Oddly enough ctrl+r or r doesn't seem to fix it.
Edit : I should type my responses faster heh.
It's difficult to get a consistently entertaining derby. It usually just drags out towards the end with the final cars having no steering left and being unable to actually kill each other, just sliding around and rubbing up against each other.

If you just touch the accelerator again it'll stop.
Thanks guys. I did get that work around to make the cars move on their own but it's pretty basic at the moment.
My crappy skin :(

Edit the [carname]_c.dds
for instance for the hatch it would be hatch_c.dds in the hatch folder
