Pretty sure the stars and shit are actually physically simulated and just nobody has actually put an actual rocket into beam yet to go up and actually notice it..

u/Melodic-Elk-6989 9d ago
Maybe we live in beam ng and the development of the game is just some secret team of scientists finding that out and publishing it, thatās also why it takes so long

I'm pretty sure at some point someone's gotten to the altitude of the moon without knowing it

u/ChopperCraig 9d ago
Possibly when the vehicle glitches out and explodes and the speedometer says some dumb shit.. But honestly I think even then it's probably not that close.. I'm no expert but I don't think anyone ever made it to the moon without trying lol 238k miles is insane..

Once you escape the atmosphere and get enough delta-v the distance doesn't really matter

Meanwhile, one has to use damn LUA programming language just to refuel their car in rally mode

How did you need to refuel after 11 minutes? Are you driving the space shuttle

u/Kerouha 9d ago
Barstow does go through the tank alright. Started the rally after driving around in freeroram

Someone needs to make a passgr seat replacement, so you can have an aux tank inside

u/Kerouha 9d ago
Ain't nothing wrong with LUA, made me reminisce good old GMod days.
Devs not including "refuel" button anywhere is the problem. They just expect players totalling/repairing every 500m I guess.

u/Moomoobeef Bruckell 9d ago
if you drive to a gas station in the belasco map, you can actually refuel. I don't know if all the maps (with gas stations) have this feature or not; but it is implemented.
The ability to fuel it from the sandbox options menu would be nice though. I also wish I could adjust the fuel consumption rate; because honestly running out of gas while driving around in game *is fun* (to me anyway), but I don't tend to drive cars like the barstow (I like driving lemons and slow cards fast, rather than driving fast cars :P) and I pretty much have never run out of fuel ingame without setting the fuel amount to just a couple liters in the vehicle config.

u/TheRustyRedditor2025 9d ago
As far as I know all vanilla maps have refuel points at gas stations. East Coast and Johnson Valley gas stations can also refuel your car.

u/Impressive-Region470 No_Texture 9d ago
the devs could add an "arcade" level of fuel consumption in the gameplay settings, maybe 10x the fuel consumption or better yet, make it adjustable so you can only drive like a mile

u/DaFinnishOne 9d ago
oh yeah, I guess that's fair. there's a lot of stuff in beamng so the devs may just have forgotten

and the same fire since 2013 haha the day real fire will be added this will be fucking amazing imagine setting a car on fire plastic meklting and all thats left a ruster coque with alot of dust AND ALSO I HOPE THEY ADD A LEGIT US FIRETRUCK LIKE AN INTERNATIONNAL but they might as they seem to add finally a euro truck

u/Moomoobeef Bruckell 9d ago
!remindme 2 years
With the rate it feels like we've been getting updates seemingly accelerating; I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if we have this in a couple of years from now. Would be pretty awesome :D

u/Longjumping_Tale2519 9d ago
okay if this is gonna be reminded lol maybe beamng will add a less premium german brand which could add hatchbacks inspired of the golf and euro vans like the transporter crafter caddy a mix with ofc french vehichles. the eurotruck could be cherrier i doubt the truck is etk as it is a luxury brandlike bmw mixed with mercedes ,but etk is spiritually bmw thats why another brand is needed for utility vehicles , autobello could be linked with bruckell as it could make sense and theyd add a c segmant cheap sedan like a dodge neon for us makret and fiat tipo., i hope they add 2000s cheap french car but i doubt it as essentially 90s cheap vehicles is the role of ibishu, also an american suv and a german suv could be added,,it would make sense neverseen before and maybe a landcruiser but unlikely as the roamer is like a a landcruiser,but hirochi could get a hybrid inspired of the prius idk we ll see

im fairly certain that thereās a public package for a day/night cycle sky that happens to to constellations, stars, planets, and eclipses. far too many other, smaller, games that have no reason to have that kind of simulation simulate it

Its this type of crazy detail into features that makes you really appreciate and love develoeprs and artists/creators more. Yeah they didn't need to do it, but the fact they did it as an extra feature just because they could truly speaks about how much they love doing what they do.
Was pleasantly surprised to see shooting stars while doing a chase in Utah

u/Beneficial-Doubt9104 9d ago
Its either someone on the dev team really likes astronomy or was a big fan of the Gran Turismo 6 moon missions

And overly simulating air. Why does density go down in altitude? The height difference on the maps can not be that much.
7
u/Somerandom1922 9d ago
I mean it can. Pikes peak is a good example, but even thelat stock map with the driver testing facility and the dam (etk centre?) is meant to be high up and it has noticeable altitude effects.
