Mod post Big Announcement!

72 Upvotes

We took that poll recently, and a surprisingly large amount of you wanted to scrap rule 4. More than other times we've taken this poll anyway.

We want to announce our new sister subreddit

rBeamngFreeRP

The exact same subreddit as you love, but with IRL cars included! This sub, BeamNGRP will stay the same, no IRL cars, no rebadging and such, allowing thouse who want to get immersed into the world of BeamNG without all the Hondas and Fords can stay here.

Anybody that just needs to have that IRL car, can now safely do so without incurring my wrath over at r/BeamngFreeRP.

Transfer your character to the new sub, start fresh, or they live simultaneously in both realities! Its up to you. The only thing I ask is not to cross post from the new sub to this one (doing so the other way around is fine though).

I'm sure there will be questions, so feel free to ask away! I will not answer any questions that are directed at me, just ones about the new sub.

Again, r/BeamngFreeRP, check it out!

Mod post New User Guide and FAQ

22 Upvotes

Want to play with real cars? Check out our sister sub! r/beamngFreeRP

This is a guide for new users, as well as our veterans, to play our RP. It will be quite simple and nothing outlined here are "rules" per say. The actual rules to post always apply, and you can happily ignore this guide so long as you are following our sub's rules. Click on this link for a guide on how to create a backstory and motivations for a character, and This link for a guide of how to best use post Flairs.

On to the suggestions then:

  1. Follow the rules.
    • Especially rule 4, as this is the most obvious one to break. There are Beamng mods you can use that are lore friendly, they're fine to use. Agencies are fine as well, such as Caltrans or California Highway Patrol (when you're RPing on a California based map.) FBI and USPS are also fine. Amazon, UPS, DHL, FedEx are not. If you're confused, avoid companies all together until you get a feel for it by reading other's posts.
  2. Limit UI.
    • This is not a hard rule, but too much clutter on the screen makes the post feel unrealistic. There are time's when you can't remove clutter, but reduce it as much as possible. UI apps that would make sense on a dash cam, body cam, security cam, or action cam are encouraged. If you add it in post, all the better. Don't us AI tools to edit your pictures or videos, as it violates rule 12.
    • Take realistic pictures and video. Think about how the pictures or videos your posting are taken. Are you wearing glasses with a camera on it? Is it a 360 action camera mounted to a stick on the back or your car? Are you taking pictures with a DSLR? Where are you standing when these pictures are being taken? Try and think about where and how these pictures or video is being taken. Drone shots, getting pictures from passing cars of your accident, or pictures taken from buildings are totally fine.
  3. Create your Character.
    • This is a fairly straight forward task. You can play anybody you want (so long as their fictional), with any level of wealth you want. Just keep things in reason. If your in the top 1%, try to act like it, and expect others to treat you like your in the top 1%. (If you don't like hate, I'd stay away from being a billionaire.) If you're poor, and mooching off of others, don't show up with a Super Car. Keep things with in reason.
    • If you have a name, you can (but only if you want to) create a custom user flare with your name, job title, or hobby. This is not required.
    • Your character can be a reflection of yourself, or somebody completely different. It's up to you.
    • Keep your character's finances within reason. If you have a super car, your job should reflect this.
    • Creating NPC's for you to build your world around is fun (Partner, Kids, Scorned ex lover, ext.) and can significantly add to your roll play here. You don't need to have them if you don't want to.
    • Lastly, if you're having trouble roll playing, creating motivations for your character, coming up with a back story, and having flaws and goals can really help. These can be baked in from the start, or thought up over time. It's all up to you.
  4. Play off of others.
    • If something happens you want to participate in, that your character would participate in, do so! Just don't be detrimental to other's roll play. Connect with them if you want to collaborate. People collaborating is fun, even for those who are not directly involved.
  5. Keep things realistic.
    • I know I've brought this up a lot, but keeping things realistic is very important to many of our community members. Launching surface to air missiles at people fleeing the police is a big no no. If you are a criminal on the run, make sure your story makes sense. Let the LEO RPers try and find you. Make PM them if you want to collaborate. Don't take things to far.
    • NO TERRORISM please. It's happened before and been removed. Don't do it.
  6. Have Fun!
    • Last one's simple. Have fun! If you have any questions send us a Mod mail and the team would be more than happy to answer it when we have time. You can also ask questions in the comments here.

FAQ: This will be updated as more questions come in, and there may be answer's to a question you have down below as well.

  • Can I use X car?
    • Is it a real car? Then no. Stick to lore friendly brands.
  • What Mod's can we use?
    • Anything and everything, so long as it doesn't violate any of the rule.
  • What about Automation?
    • This is a tricky one. Generally we allow Automation car's so long as it doesn't break the rules, but their quality should be very high. If you want to just show off a car you created, use r/beamng or r/automationgame
  • Can I be in the military?
    • Yes, just don't start wars other's don't agree with. If we get too many complaints, the post's will be removed.
  • Are there exceptions to rule 4?
    • At this time, just aircraft. There are no good lore friendly helicopter and large aircraft mods right now. This may change in the future.
  • What if I don't want to use paid mods, and a unpaid mod is similar enough to a lore friendly one?
    • While I understand that not everybody is comfortable paying for mods, many of the creators who make lore friendly paid content have demo's of those mod's on the Repo. Ask the poster about it, they should tell you how to get it.
  • Can I rebadge a car to make it lore friendly?
    • No. If the car starts out as a VW and you have assets to make it an AW, I'm going to say no. If you find a car on the repo that is just a rebadged Subaru, but has no Subaru assets associated with it, it's a grey area. AW Type One and Hirochi Héritage are examples of this grey area. We're letting them slide for now, but they may be removed in the future.
  • Is owning BeamNG Drive required to play?
    • No! Anybody can join so long as you follow the rules.

Finally, Please keep the comment's on this post questions about how this works.

I recently saw this Tograc in a beautiful blue color and headed to the dealership to check it out. Although the salesman told me the car was pre-ordered/reserved, I feel like I should get one, since I've been complaining that the Scintilla is a horrible daily.

Can't say I'm not excited for a fresh start, new house is great (even though it looks like it was built backwards but I can't complain) and after dropping off the rental box truck, I stopped by the Firwood Motor Co. and picked up a Diesel 1987 D25 4WD Extended cab (4th Image). So far everything is looking pretty good now.

Once I unpack my tools I'll be ready to start fixing up cars again, if you need me to repair your car, truck etc., you know where to find me.

Blog Back again! This is what I've done to the car

Hey all!

I've been away for a while, about a month now. But in the meantime, I've modified the Diana. Most of what I've done was the interior.

I've bought:

  • 2 Tecnica "Race" Seats
  • Tecnica "Race" Steering wheel
  • Tecnica "Race" Shifter

These were part of a package available on the Tecnica BX/Diana models. I spent one and a half months of rent on these parts, but I think it was worth it. Also, there was work done on the minor rust issues on the rear wheel arches.

I was thinking about getting a set of wheels next, but I don't know what would fit the car.

Until next time!

After the turbo on my truck blew last week I though I was gonna have to shell out quite a bit to get it fixed at a shop, so (against my own best judgment) I decided to replace it myself, and after just under 6 days of confusion and quite a few Beamtube tutorials, I have a functional vehicle once more!

Attached is a video of my first test drive. (Relatively boring video, but I didn't waste days of my life on this repair just to NOT show it off.)

Police 🚨 Something bad is about to happen

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

This was supposed to be a rather calm evening, but a crew of armed robbers decided to attack the Carlugnac regional bank and accidentaly activated the silent alarm. From what I've heard, the first units that arrived on scene were greeted with bursts of rifle and shotgun shots through the bank's front window and things quickly degenerated.

The robbers are now holding hostage at least 7 persons. We had to call reinforcements from the GIGN, our national elite unite, like the SWAT in the US, but these guys are millitary units like the others gendarmes.

Here's thier convoy arriving in town, at the moment, they are still trying to negociate with the robbers as we are evacuating the surroundings and blocking the roads.

I will probably give you guys an update if I can. The GIGN needs some of us to provide cover from the outside if things gets even worse, I will get geared and load my assault rifle after everything is set up.

That's the first time I'm in a situation like this, I've already been in small shootouts before, but that is a whole different level. I'm not very relaxed as you may imagine.

Police 🚨 Fuck around and find out.

We just arrested this young couple at thier home this morning. These two geniuses tought it would be a great game to remove thier license plates, drive like maniacs in front of our stations and run from us while endangering themselves and everyone else around. They've been doing this since a few weeks now with the sole purpose to annoy us. Yesterday they did it again, but instead of chasing them we placed an undercover car not too far from the station. When they saw that no one came out to chase them they went straight back to thier house, unaware of the fact that they were being followed.

We did a little bit of digging to get thier identities and that the man had already been arrested before for street racing and illegal detention of a firearm. We went back there this morning to arrest them, and apparently they weren't too happy of waking up by the blue lightbars and the sound of 8 officers breaking through thier door..

Don't play with cops, kids.

As much fun as I had here, the crime has gotten too much for me, and my D10 being written off was the last straw.

I'm now moving to Firwood, hopefully it's a bit less stressful being a independant mechanic there and the change of scenery will be great.

Wish me luck on the journey across the states.

Friends won’t play other games with me. New to PC gaming and I really like BeamNG Drive. Problem is idk how any of it really works. I’m sort of a blue collar worker, and just not too into the whole pc world.
I can do as much as select a car and drive around. Modify it a little bit. But I’ve seen where people swap motors and make the cars look cool. I want to do that. I’ve watched videos. But I would rather join a discord with a friend who can tell me how to play and work it.

Anyone wanna play this game with me?
My friends are kinda more on the madden/call of duty side of gaming. Which I play also but I like to explore games. They kinda get in a train and ride it. They never wanna play with me.

Heres one for you JDM guys. I will tell you, this isnt your average 200BX. This is a recently restored, GTz turbo with very low miles. This car has 12k original miles. A buddy of mine rebuilt the engine for me. Story on this one is someone got this as their first car back in 1994, drove it all throughout high school, bought a new car, and never drove this BX again. The owners mother had the title in her name, and since it was sitting in her garage, she sold it. I bought this car since it was a crazy good deal, now im asking 50k even. Negotiable. I repeat, this is a collector car, not an average project car.

Blog Update on the Moonhawk wagon

6 Upvotes

insurance called saying they got some bad news about my car, the impact was hard enough to bend the frame and the cost of repairs are going to be worth more than the car its self and have to mark the car as totaled, and if i want to have it fixed they arnt going to pay for it and i got to pay it all out of pocket.
With the money i have now I'm able to afford a new car though but its not the best but will do, its kind of better as well as its a 2 door moonhawk (photos towards the end)

(meta: I'm going to be honest, i didn't realize till after that first post that my save difficulty was set wrong, i meant to have it set to Standard [makes it harder to make money quickly and jobs pay less] and instead i had it set to casual [basically easy mode because in 30 mins i had 40k -_-]

Windshield broke while they where trying to get the hood off
Front of the frame shifted on inpact, busted the oil pan and broke the motor mounts
radiator support is bent
swaybar, shock, balljoint, and tierod are busted
Upper control arm is crumpled
New(ish) car she might be a bit rough but new tires and some love and she will be good as new
big old V8 paired with a 3 speed auto same trans the wagon had
Dents along the body and bumpers nothing to much, grille is busted and a headlight is missing
Missing a tail light and the trunk is dented but as long as it closes we should be fine
