Driving Physics Comparision Between Beamng

[Starman]

Sense i suck at dirt rally, i litterary can't drive 1 km in game without hitting all the trees.
I decided to compare the driving physics between dirt rally and beamng.

So heres the videos i've made for that.
Beamng is a full car simulator. And im able to drive/rally in that.
Dirt rally claims its realistic, so i shouldn't hit every tree?
Does anyone know a mod for dirt rally that makes it eaiser to drive?

It's a very odd comparison. Especially if we consider BeamNG's awful FFB and suspensions made of jello.

I really don't understand how someone can say BeamNG driving physics are realistic, and there are a lot of them. They're probably people who never drove a real car before or suffer from severe labyrinthitis.

The new Rally is by far the most realistic rally simulator out there. The reason you're hitting every tree is because you drive as you've learned in other games that usually have an accent on arcade, simpler and easier physics,secretly enabled assists and such. I'm playing tons of racing sims, I've even driven a bit of rally in real life and I can tell you the way cars handle in this game is as realistic as it gets with current technology. Get a decent gamepad/wheel and practice practice practice. And forget everything you learned in NeedForSpeed and previous Dirt titles, you just can't drive like that in this game. Also, you're not seriously comparing BNG with this? Come on. It a simulatior for collision physics, not car handling physics. If you want a good rally game that is a bit easier try latest WRC, it's decent, looks nice and it's not that punishing.

BeamNG.drive is a realistic, immersive driving game offering near-limitless possibilities. Our soft-body physics engine simulates every component of a vehicle in real time, resulting in realistic, dynamic behavior.
The driving feel is authentic and visceral, and crashes are realistic and violent; yet the physics are accessible enough to drive with a keyboard or gamepad while still being authentic with a full racing wheel with uncompromising realism.



Yeah. REALISTIC. A mod for dirt rally about more grip would be nice. Im tired of hitting every single tree in the game

"Go on, bacon is good for your health", said the pig. I don't believe the developer's opinion can be fully trusted.

Well ive been playing the game for a LONG time now. And im certain this is realistic

Well, it seems I'm punching bricks here.

Practice more. DR is a hard game, with a long learning curve. You'll eventually get better with time.

A computer game can´t be compared to driving a real car.
This game has a serious problem with gravity and collisions and has a constant feeling of driving a hovercraft.
I hope v.2 correct this.

He's talking about the driving physics, not the collision physics...

DR has plenty of grip if you put a proper setup in the car lmao, and can actually drive. If anything it's still a little too much, considering you can't select your tire compounds and don't have to deal with tire degradation.

*approaches the corner as if it was a Right 5 open, crashes on exit*

yea dude its /you/ not the game lmao

[Porkhammer]

Yeah Dirt Rally could do with a bit less grip, especially with the 2000's and 2010's. BeamNG is not a realistic driving experience.

[Primal Fear]

This comparision doesn't make any sense.
A; In a simulation you wouldn't want to play with a keyboard, especially if you want to judge about handling.
B; The car in BeamNG. drive has much less power than this modern, overpowered Rally car, so of course it is easier to handle if you don't get as fast.
C; The tracks in Dirt Rally have much more bumps and difficult turns, so it's much more demanding on your concentration and you have much possibility to screw it up.

And BeamNG.Drive is also easier because it doesn't make an difference about grip level on different surfaces yet. So you can give full throttle while leaving the road with on side and wouldn't turn.

Play BeamNG.drive again, FFB got updated months ago and can now pretty much compete with Dirt Rally.

how about you try the game with all the assists on first get a feel for the game then turn the assists off thats what i did and i feel like ive improved more with no assists then with assists
meaning my times have gotten better with no assists
Times with no assits > Times with assists
