From all of us at BeamNG to all of our awesome community, we wish you continued good health and that you all stay safe.

We are happy to announce the launch of version 0.19 of BeamNG.drive, which contains new vehicles, renovated maps and vehicles as well as continued optimization and improvement of our technology.

Leading the pack in this release is the launch of the Cherrier FCV platform with the Vivace and Tograc models. Cherrier is a new manufacturer in the BeamNG.drive universe. Originating from France, this manufacturer embodies the European spirit of 21st Century automobile design. Aggressive lines, quirky details and a wide range of powerplants are the hallmark of Cherrier’s product line and the FCV platform is the latest expression of their style and engineering philosophy. In keeping with the future of automotive technology, an electric version of the Vivace and Tograc are available, with the FCV platform having been conceived to support both traditional and electric drivetrains from the outset. From economical commuters aimed at the family market to aggressively tuned hot hatchbacks that turn heads and burn rubber in equal measure, Cherrier has a version of its vehicles to appeal to anyone. A strong contender on the competitive driving scene, Cherrier’s chassis are used by several teams in both rally and hillclimb competitions. Cherrier also enjoys a good relationship with France and Italy’s police forces, whose specially tuned versions pursue and contain road-based dirty deeds across the autoroutes and autostradas.

Turning to our maps, we have continued the renovation project and are ready to release Small Island. This map has received a major overhaul to bring its appearance better into line with the stated geographical location. With the rebuilt harbor, research station and helipad we are introducing more points of interest to aim for. The road layouts have been adjusted for better driveability and new offroad trails have been added. Small Island may not be the largest map in the game but it now offers good reasons to go check it out.

In other areas, we have improved the ambient sound systems throughout the game. The directionality of sounds is better, pitch wobbling at high speeds should be noticeably improved and we have reworked the way impacts sound. There has also been some work put into making our sound bank loading logic support future mod banks. Those of you who continue to drive cars into the water in the hope that they will someday function as submarines will be happy to know that we now have underwater sound ambiance. The vehicle team has been hard at work not just on the Cherrier FCV platform vehicles but also a remaster of some of our older vehicles. In this release, we are focusing on Gavril, with remastering taking place on the Roamer, D- and H-Series.

To better guide our development efforts in the future we have implemented an optional game session data collection system. This collects limited game session data on things like which maps players are using, the vehicles they are driving and the additional features they have enabled or disabled. This data is anonymized before any of our employees have access to it and the collection is entirely on an opt-in basis. Those of you who are ok with us collecting this game session data can give us permission to do so in the game settings menu. This permission can be withdrawn at any time. We have also updated our privacy policy to include what data we collect, how to opt in and out of the data collection and how to request the deletion of your data.

Highlights

• Cherrier FCV platform launched with Vivace and Tograc models
  
  
  
  
  
• Small Island renovation with a complete overhaul of the map’s appearance and improved road layout
  
  
  
  
• Gavril Roamer, D-Series, and H-Series remaster continues with additional parts, configurations and refinements
  
• Ambient sound system improvements for better directionality, sound bank loading logic, and underwater sound ambiance
  
• Part 1 of the new Driving Dynamics system

For the full changelog please visit our Dev Blog.

Today we proudly present our next vehicle, the Cherrier Vivace! This is a 2020 model year compact hatchback, built on a very flexible modern platform, offering vehicles with a wide range of options. FWD and AWD powertrains are available, with gasoline, diesel, or electric power. And of course, there will be lots of parts to combine and play with!

Head on over to our dev blog for more detail on the work involved in getting this newest member of the BeamNG.drive vehicle family into the game.

In this tiniest of tiny updates we kicked the track marshal out of the airconditioned trailer to paint some lines on the ground for the crawling scenarios. So now the courses aren't a county-wide free for all. You're still ok to drive outside the lines, but the competitive among you can make it a point to remain within them.

• Added lines to demarcate the crawler course boundaries

Where other vehicles say "No way. No how.", the Ibishu Hopper Crawler says "No roads? No problem!" Designed to find a path over and around obstacles and terrain that puts the fear of the scrapyard into other vehicles, the Ibishu Hopper Crawler features a lift kit, upgraded suspension, super-sized offroad wheels, four wheel drive, finely tuned gearing and body armor where appropriate. There's also a roll cage for those moments where you go from extreme pucker factor to sudden release, if you catch our drift. Whether inching its way over boulders or slamming through undulating countryside, the Ibishu Hopper Crawler is for those who see potential paths wherever they go. Try it out in the three new crawling scenarios designed to show off the capabilities of this mountain goat of vehicles.



Best wishes for the holidays from all of us here at BeamNG. You're an awesome community and we couldn't do the things we do without your continuing support and encouragement.

• New variant of the Ibishu Hopper: The Crawler

• Three crawling challenge scenarios for you to beat using the Ibishu Hopper Crawler

Instructions on how to update the game here.

With the long nights of winter bearing down on us we’re escaping to the warm, sunny open spaces of Utah in this update. The map has been completely renovated, featuring improvements to foliage and road textures, new and improved buildings as well as abandoned mine tunnels for you to race through. On the vehicle side we’ve turned our attention to some of the older vehicles and given them some love. The venerable pickup, the first vehicle to be included in BeamNG.drive, has received a much-needed jbeam and visuals pass along with its colleagues the Van and the Roamer. The AI system has gotten several improvements and adjustments to improve the behaviour and handling of AI controlled vehicles. Our audio team has added new groundmodel effects for mud, metal and wood along with transmission whine for most vehicle models.

Delving even deeper under the hood you will notice we have made extensive changes to our rendering system. The overall appearance of the game has changed for the better as a result of these lighting changes. This is still very much a Work In Progress effort and expect many parts of the game to look different to what you may be used to. Overall we are very happy with the way BeamNG.drive looks as a result of these improvements to our tech and we hope you will be too.

There have also been a lot of improvements to loading times thanks to optimisations in various areas of the game. In addition, our physics engine has received several bug fixes, tweaks and improvements that have resulted in better performance. This is just a high-level summary of what is being released in build 0.18. We hope you enjoy the new and improved features as much as we enjoyed making them.

• Utah map updates
  
  
  
• New lighting (see our blogpost "Color space lighting and HDR rendering")
  
  
  
• Level loading optimizations
  
  
• D-Series overhaul, phase one
  

The full changelog can be found on our blog site.

With today’s hotfix we are deploying fixes to the traffic system. The police should now behave properly and the Traffic AI in general should exhibit better awareness of what is happening and react accordingly.

We are also making some changes to the game launcher. All the support tools will now be grouped together in a dedicated ‘Support Tools’ section. In the ‘Manage User Folder’ section you will find tools to move your user folder, open it in Windows Explorer and restore it to the default location. These tools should help those affected by issues caused by folder path conflicts or who just can’t remember where in the labyrinth of folders their user folder has hidden itself.

Please visit the devblog for the full changelog, here: https://blog.beamng.com/fourth-hotfix-for-0-17/

We are still working on resolving the crash with the Intel HD 620/630 Series on vehicle reset. Help us gather more information here please.

(Solution #1) - Use CTRL+R to reset a vehicle, instead of just R.
(Solution #2) - A temporary workaround solution is available here.

Some users have suggested that this issue is caused by some specific Intel drivers versions. You could try to update / rollback drivers and see if that helps.
