BeamNG has released its latest version 0.33 update today on PC, and it is themed around hauling big, heavy, stuff.
There is an all-new truck, a remade model, plus extra cosmetic items for existing cars, refined environments, fresh missions and an interesting road-creation tool.
New truck – Gavril MD-Series
It’s a big, brutish truck to do big brutish things with. Haul logs, carry fuel or go off-road. As every with a BeamNG vehicle, there is a myriad of variations. Pickup, tankler, cargo box, and even, an ambulance.
Remade truck – Gavril T-Series
But, the Gavril range does not stop there, with the existing T-Series ‘remade’ with updated driveshafts, a new V8 turbodiesel engine option, a twin-steer cabover setup and airbag rear suspension among the changes.
The frankly ridiculous ‘JATO’ rocket option is also available, for both the T-Series and the aforementioned MD-Series. That new V8 diesel engine, too, can be tuned up to 3000bhp…
Road Architect Tool
New vehicles are welcome, and all, but the soft-body simulator is really living up to its sandbox moniker with the Road Architect Tool.
Now available in the world editor, this should allow for straightforward creation of custom routes, with the option to configure road networks and merge intersections.
11 new missions
There are now four new drag race missions available on Gridmap V2 and West Coast, USA, plus a new drag practice mode.
Then, a further seven new missions, three of which are drift-themed and two using the aforementioned Gavril MD-Series. The final fresh addition is an asphalt hillclimb time trial in Italy.
There have also been further tweaks to the early preview of the upcoming career mode.
Those using the track builder have also been treated to a ‘challenging’ 25km track.
West Coast USA tweaks
Speaking of the West Coast (USA) area used for the new drag racing systems has received a facelift.
Entrances, parking areas, sidewalks and toll booths all have new models for an enhanced look.
There are a host of other changes too, such as more parts and configuration options for the Ibishu Pessima and Hirochi SBR4 cars, heightened AI traffic intelligence, improved Jarjo VR headset performance and a slew of bug fixes
So long is the list, we are not going to post them here, visit the BeamNG website instead
