User Interface – BeamNG.drive

BeamNG.drive offers a highly customizable and extremely flexible User Interface that can adapt to anybody’s preference.

The UI Layout is composed of various Apps, each with its own scope (ie. Tachometer, Messages, etc.). The game comes with a number of UI Apps.

The layout can be edited while using the Freeroam game mode: Apps can be moved, resized, removed and added from the Apps library.

UI Layouts

Pre-defined layouts will be loaded depending on your activities. For example, for bus routes, you’ll see additional apps for stops.

In this mode, Apps can be moved, resized and also removed from your layout.

The Hide in cockpit checkbox will prevent the apps from being visible when using the Driver camera mode.

Adding new Apps

Click the Add App button that shows in the center of the screen, while in UI Edit mode. This will open the Apps menu, where all available apps are listed

Click on any app to add it to your layout.
