Version 0.4.3.0 released – BeamNG.drive

Vehicle parts are loaded recursively from vehicle folder, this allow to have vehicle parts folders with own/separate materials.cs

Tons of new wheels, mod parts, and variants for many cars:

Brand new high resolution lettering for Covet, D15, Roamer, and Grand Marshal

New modern lightbar and new police variants for the Sunburst and 200BX

Covet: Redone higher quality light textures, added optional factory graphics, added lots of new custom parts and wheels, fixed off-center steering wheel

Roamer: New sheriff skin

Grand Marshal: New police skin, fixed missing push bar, added several new wheels, reduced weight to be more realistic, corrected engine weight

D15: Reduced weight to be more realistic, added optional body colored bumpers and grille, improved off-road swaybar design

200BX: Added several new wheels, reduced weight to be more realistic, fixed pedals clipping through the floor

H-Series: New delivery skin, fixed van being too rear-heavy, improved off-road swaybar design, fixed exploding hydros

Bolide: Added optional factory graphics, lots of suspension tuning and improvements, some new wheels

T-Series: Fixed rear wheel hub stretching, reduced stiffness of front suspension, added ram plow for plowing through cars

Moonhawk: Corrected engine weights, improved roof/pillar deformation, fixed off-center steering wheels, added optional 4-barrel carburetors for slightly more power, new color for drag

SBR4: Fixed TT S2 shock absorbers breaking, improved ESC and general handling

Sunburst: Several new wheels

Pessima: Fixed missing 1.8L and 2.0L engine meshes, fixed engine mounts sometimes breaking, added custom variant, stronger clutch for V6

Pigeon: Added a viscous limited-slip differential to the Pigeon 600, added rear dampers, front suspension tweaks, added variant with stabilizers

New prop: Concrete Retaining Wall

New prop” Cinder Block Wall

Improved visuals for tire smoke particles

Tilt Board: Updated model, textures and jbeam

New vehicle thumbnails

Some improvements to cars’ roof and A-pillar deformation

Heavily reworked support beams on most cars’ bumpers to improve clipping and deformation

Added more collision triangles to bumpers and fenders to guard against hooking

Reworked exhaust deformation on all cars

Added subtle cubemap to all cars’ interiors

New racing slick tire textures

Standardized reflection map values for Sunburst, 200BX and Pessima

Increased all cars’ aerodynamic drag now that rolling resistance is lower

Improved tire stability

Improved tire cornering stiffness at high speeds

Visual improvement to tire deflation

Suspension damping tweaks (Typically lower compression damping, higher rebound)

Tuned some engines’ burnEfficiency for more realistic fuel consumption

Properly aligned all mirrors and assigned reflective material

Slight interior camera position tweaks

Added “value” attribute to all car parts (preparation for gameplay features)

Added optional license plates (US size) to all cars (WIP!)

Node and beam scaling “baked in” – no more fudging with different values in different jbeams and not using real numbers

Tuned steering on cars to better suit high frequency FFB

Improved ESC/TCS warning lights: Now permanently illuminated after ESC/TCS shutdown, Blink rate is constant now, Added working lights to the sunburst, TCS now has its own warning light

Added electronic LSD simulating functionality to the TCS: Works best in Sport mode of ESC/TCS

General reliability/performance work on ESC/TCS

ESC/TCS tweaks

Fixed tire sidewalls being too delicate at high speed

Torque reaction improvements to reduce suspension squat and dive
