On the boxer engines, It says single turbo (single life), instead biturbo.
itās now kind of important to be able to set toe-in for the tyres, to reduce car float at speed in beamng
if you donāt want a ux setting, the exporter should at least have some sane default
also, itād be useful to export all the trims into beamng vehicle variants to reduce clutter
another thing - seems brake force is too high in beamng? even weak brakes seems to lock up very easily

Noticed something in the engine designer. The game seems to think more production units is better in the info for these components: Crank, Pistons, VVT, Turbos, Fuel System + Configuration, and both mufflers.

It does actually change Toe settings on export based on various factors (this was set up by the BeamNG physics guys). But itās possible those defaults arenāt perfect.
I think I encountered a weird bug on the photo scene mode.

I have a car here that I was testing out that had some buggy problems. It shakes aggressively under heavy braking. With the ABS turned off, it still shakes, but not as dramatically. It has a safety rating of 37.4 (standard 80ās safety equipped) If safey rating doesnāt matter, it is a pretty light car. I downloaded a car from the repository that uses the same small C4 body and it also shakes under braking, but not as bad as this.
The normal sized C4 body also seem to vibrate more than other bodies under braking too although its not nearly as extreme. Hereās a .car file for one of those. Gen 10 - Chickenbiscuit - LMC Maladus M150 TR.car (43.9 KB)
Couldnāt upload the gif from discord, but hereās a screenshot mid-wiggle.
I canāt seem to launch the game at all despite it working fine post-updateā¦ Thereās no new window or icon on the taskbar, the game just runs without any way to get to it. I just uninstalled/reinstalled to try clearing it out a bit, so Iāll come back if it keeps refusing to actually launch.
Update: Nope, didnāt work. Is there a way to launch the game directly without having to go through Steam or the launcher?

Seems like Iām getting no dice with that either. Maybe itās a memory thing, I know I have that āsystem using 100% of my diskā BS going on right now.
Since my text editor is being dumb and refuses to let me open the logs, can someone try opening it on their machine and see whatās going on?

Sounds like the issues might be related to your computer and not the game.
Unrelated, but the Manual Locker tooltip has the Automatic Locker description:
After the update, previously locked fixtures canāt be unlocked & vice versa for unlocked fixtures.
Since todayās update, I canāt actually get in to Automation. It just sits at the LOADING screen and spins forever.
EDIT: Ok, it does eventually get into the game. But it took (not joking) 15 minutes to execute the game, whereas before it took 3 minutes, tops. This is after rebooting and validating files.
Turbocharged engines in exported care are now much more consistent with Automation in terms of power, however, I see that they now consistently produce three percent less power in Beam than they do in Automation.
Also, some of the bodies seem a lot more draggy in Beam than in Automation;
I have a few cars based on this body and this variant, and they all consistently have trouble reaching their top speeds as indicated in Automation, by a significant amount. For example, one variant has a drag-limited top speed of 188 km/h in Automation, but it cannot exceed 166 in Beam while testing on the infinite grid map. The other trims I have using this body seem to be fairly consistent with this shortfall.
Found a couple of major bugs in the patch:
-
The fixture lock button is always greyed out, so we canāt lock fixtures or unlock previously locked fixtures.
-
The game seems to have long load times with every subsequent launch. Not quite as long as when itās first loaded, but significantly longer than the pretty much instant loading of subsequent launches it used to have.
Secondary paint colors are not exporting properly and only appear as flat white.
Paint looks much nicer with the shininess update, but many paints actually look too shiny compared to Automation.
Also, could you make it so grille textures are exported as matte black instead of shiny metallic?
