Best news I have seen in ages! Came out of nowhere…
I’m interested in how this might impact on our challenges.
I don’t have Beam (yet), but if you are familiar with it I have some questions:
are there AI cars in it? So could we hypothetically load up all the submissions to a competition and the manager can film the race with AI drivers and upload to YouTube?
if not, maybe we could at least do the qualifying ourselves and save a screenshot or some other way of validating the time?
No.1: There is an AI mode in beam. But you have to be in freeroam.
No.2: In time trial mode, at the end of racing, it will show your lap times and total time (if you choose 2 laps or more)
I literally dreamt of this.
I literally made joke comments about it happening.
Now it’s actually there.
Hey Camshaft Software, I don’t even care about Inline 5s not being available in the first public release of the UE4 light campaign, this is everything I wished for.
If hype was usable as a fuel source, and all the hype from the Automation and BeamNG communities was added up, it would be able to power the entire earth for a thousand years.
This is absolutely incredible! I finally will be able to find out how legendarily malaise my mid to late '70s cars are
That being said, this seems more like something for #off-topic or #general-chat ? Especially given how sidetracked (no pun intended) the conversation already is.
Is there any sort of online play with Beam? I looked on steam and it didn’t seem like there was but it would be really cool to do racing series using our own cars that we drive.
Damn, now I’m gonna have to get BeamNG Drive so I can drive some Storm and Sinistra cars and see how legendarily bad the L-FWD platform would be with some of the cars I’ve made.
