Bottom Drives (AutoBeam Challenge)

Community Challenges & Competitions
25

Yeah, I may end up submitting my entries at the last minute…

But yeah I do wish to race. Was gonna say so when I submitted my cars, but I’ll mention it now to help you plan. :D

Edit: When measuring 0-60, does it matter weather we start the run at idle revs vs. max revs?

Another edit: Since we’re doing all this in BeamNG, does it matter if the car was originally made in Automation 4.1?

26

Just launch it from whatever rpm gives you the quickest time

And you can send in 4.1 cars, just send them in a beam zip so i dont have to go back to 4.1 just to export them myself

I have a file ready to send over but I did take the liberty of sound modding it. Hopefully that is ok…

I mean, I modded the brakes in a car’s jbeam and it got accepted, so as long as you’re transparent about the sound modding it’s probably fine.

TRADE TOKENS
I have decided to introduce a feature to this challenge called trade tokens. Each player will have 5 of them and they can be used for either exchanging a car for one of the same rarity, or fusing 2 cars of the same rarity for one of the next rarity. The RQ tiers for the trade-up hierarchy are as followed:
≤24 (Common)
25-34 (Uncommon)
35-44 (Rare)
45-54 (Super Rare)
55-69 (Ultra Rare)
70-79 (Epic)
80≤ (Legendary)
Make sure to use them wisely, because once you use them, they are gone forever and I won't give you what you had before because I am a massive dickhead :)

HOLY SHIT

Damn... can't believe the car list is at 130 and still counting. I have to track the stats for every single one which obviously takes alot of time, so the races will be delayed until everything is done, but I promise I can get it started by Saturday at the latest. However, car submissions will still remain open until I track the stats of every car. I really didn't expect the list to be above 60, but still, thanks everyone for your submissions so far!

You know, I should have time to help make a few cards if you want.

I think the burnout from an overload of car submissions is part of what killed the last challenge like this, so I don’t wanna see that happen again.

36

Same, i have a decent amount of experience making them too

37

I almost have all the stats tracked for the cars, so I’ll give you both the stat sheet and the gimp .xcf when im done

ALL CARDS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED

But since I realize it is a bad idea to close submissions so abruptly, I will accept them until the end of this Thursday. I’m currently working on setting up a poll for the tracks the competitors will race on. It will consist of the following: Technical road course, long road course, rallycross, rally raid, and a secret selection :eyes:

CARDS WILL DELIVERED SHORTLY
In the mean time, here is the track list you guys voted for and the RQ limit:
    • Fujigoko - Tertiary Roads 2 Link
    • Spa Francorchamps (rolling start) Link
    • Long Industrial Course (Vanilla)
    • Pikes Peak Gravel - Devil’s Playground Link

Since the average RQ of every car is 50, the limit will be slightly over that at 270. I will send your cars in the form of a google sheet that looks like this example:

chrome_h1MzJoj5UB1747×600 121 KB

Once everyone recieves one of these (I will send them to everyone tagged in the trade tokens post) the deadline for lap submissions will be July 1. Send the laps to me in any format possible, for example YT or Google Drive. Anyone who hasn’t signed up yet is free to do so until the deadline.

PAINFUL TEMPORARY WORKAROUND IF CARS DON'T WORK AT ALL
The two funny early access car games have broken yet again, and now cars with carbon ceramic brakes don't work at all. Luckily, if you like pain, I found out a temporary workaround to this before the game gets fixed. (hopefully)

First of all, make sure you turn competitive scenarios off. You can find the option by going into the gameplay section of settings, where it will be at the top of the list.

Now with the settings turned off, you are free to open the vehicle config in time trials, so once you load into one with your glitched shitbox, go into the vehicle config and click the reset button at the bottom of the menu.

After that, the car should work fine until you eventually crash it since you have to do this after EVERY FUCKING RESET. You’re welcome :slight_smile:

Keep in mind the car’s brakes wont stay on before you start the time trial anymore, so try to launch the car when the countdown ends or I will penalize your lap. Hopefully this should be fixed soon so no one has to worry about it though
