BeamNG.drive 0.6 Update Released It's been a while but the guys behind BeamNG have released another BIG update to the game and as usual it features a whole host of new features, cars, props, bug fixes and general improvements relating to the user interface, game physics etc. Highlights New vehicle, ETK I Series Range of new modifications to current cars including an articulated truck trailer Vehicle coupler. I mean, who doesn't want to stick trailers to their cars to make crashes more spectacular? Replay system, still an experimental feature but now you can get multiple different views of your "incidents" A new thermal system applied to the brakes Further improved physics for a wide range of things If you're new to BeamNG, have a look at the short video below which showcases some of the things that you can do in the game.

Really takes me back to the 80's before I was born, the memories have come flooding back. Couplers - That shiny new articulated trailer that you have? Now you can couple it up to the T-series truck and wreak some havoc with the gung-ho AI drivers. Or just try to drift it around an obstacle course, whatever floats your boat. Last but not least is the new replay system. Bare in mind that this is still an experimental feature so you can't expect it to work properly all of the time. But it's still something that you can now play around with to get action shots of your favourite, or unfortunate mishaps! As usual, the list of updates is far far too big to post here so hop on over to the BeamNG website for all of the nitty gritty details.

BeamNG.drive 0.5.3 Engine Thermal Simulation. Yes, that's right, engine thermal simulation. It sounds incredibly dull and to most people perhaps it is. But I think it's quite an interesting concept to be put into a game, especially one such as BeamNG.drive. Check out the video below which also showcases new particle based physics for smoke. Here's an obligatory second paragraph about Camels lesson in thermodynamics because it's obligatory(I'll get told off if I don't :(). As the owner of a British made MG I am all too familiar with the little issue of a blown head gasket and now I can enjoy them in BeamNG too! Along with other engine damage including pretty catastrophic stuff. The most notable updates and fixes are as follows Engine Thermal Simulation. Oh, have I mentioned this one already? Improved ground modelling for better collisions Added an on-screen navigation map/satnav More bugfixes and tweaks than you can shake a beam at I could post the entire list of features, fixes and other awesome stuff here, but I don't think the resident Duck is long enough to accommodate them all. But do feel free to pop over to the BeamNG site here to have a browse at your leisure. [gallery columns=4" link="file" ids="4580,4583,4582,4581" orderby="rand]

BeamNG 0.5.2 Released: It's a Big One There is simply far too much new content to cover here but I will try my best to summarise the most notable content from the update. Another new vehicle, the ETK 800 Giant, attachable flail! Who doesn't want to attach a giant flail to the back of their car and cause some carnage? Node grabbing, you can now pick up and manipulate object by holding CTRL and clicking to move the item around New tyre physics to improve handling and tyre deflations A large amount of customisation options for cars including police skins and much more More bug fixes and features than you can shake a big stick at Check out the ETK 800 (yeah, right) in the video below.
