[Exporting to Beamng]How To Add Moving Fixtures

Basic guide how to get the gauges/paddels/wheel/indicator working after exporting in Beam.ng

1. Go to the Statistic Tab

Go to the market tab (the tab before track testing) and press the Description button

2. Add what you want to add

~prop:[Fixture number],[Function],[Rotation X],[Rotation Y],[Rotation Z],[Translation X],[Translation Y],[Translation Z],[Min],[Max],[Offset],[Multiplier]~
~prop:0,steering,0,1,0,0,0,0,-900,900,0,1~
~prop:1,clutch,-20,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:2,brake,-20,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:3,throttle,-20,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:4,rpm,0,-0.03,0,0,0,0,0,10000,0,1~
~prop:5,wheelspeed,0,-3.1,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:6,oil,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,180,0,1~
~prop:7,temp,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,180,0,1~
~prop:8,fuel,0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,180,0,1~
~prop:9,parkingbrake,20,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:10,steering,0,0,1,0,0,0,-100,100,0,1~
~prop:11,steering,0,0,1,0,0,0,-100,100,0,1~
~prop:12,airspeed,0.08,0,0,0,0,0,0,90,0,1~
"theres also code for boost gauges: ~prop:45,turboBoost,0,-4,0,0,0,0,-40,80,0,1~" -volvoguy

Use this for funny lights (pop-up)
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

~prop:19,lights,24,0,0,0,0,0,0,65,0,1~
~prop:20,lights,20,0,0,0,0,0,0,65,0,1~

(Stole it from someone in the workshop)

3. Figure out what is the part number (Outdated)

Go to the Fixtures Tab and try to find the fixture number

Say you want to make the speedometer to work

You put 40 in the fixture number, export it, but it didn't work

~prop:40,wheelspeed,0,-2.2,0,0,0,0,0,122.222,0,1~

-----------Why?-----------

For some reason, a mirrored fixture counted as 2 fixture

(something like Headlights etc)

But in the UI it only counts as 1

Meaning if you're not prepared good luck counting from the start

Ended up on fixture number 58 here

(edit : you could delete and undo [Control+Z] to move the fixture to the bottom)

Just use the number

4. Rotation Calculation

"speedo needle is min 0 and max 50 m/s (~180 km/h) in this case. -5.6 in Y rotation is 280 deg / 50 m/s = 5.6 (negative because the needle was going the wrong way)

rpm needle is min 0 and max 7000 rpm in this case. 0.03 in Y rotation is 210 deg / 7000 rpm = 0.03"

I'd recommend getting AutoBeam. It walks you through how to make all sorts of moving props for Beamng.

it didnt work

[Volvo_guy]

theres also code for boost gauges: ~prop:45,turboBoost,0,-4,0,0,0,0,-40,80,0,1~

[pointsmakeprizes]

if using autobeam, guide says green axis arrow towards driver anti clockwise and arrow away is clockwise but i find this to be the opposite effect so bare that in mind

[pointsmakeprizes]

get the autobeam as said below. i now have working everything thanks to that buety.

[Skitty]

my steering wheel rotates on the wrong axis, what did i do wrong

is there one for boost?

another question, how do you accurately get the RPM thing?

If you play with the "-0.046" value as below this will adjust your needle sweep, at -0.36 it would go to about 4600 rpm instead of the 7000 i wanted, so it took a couple of tries but this is were it was happy and the hundredths do make a difference, as at -0.05 it over shot by around 400 rpm.

~prop:118,rpm,0, -0.046 ,0,0,0,0,0,10000,0,1~

i also did some realism adjustments here and now the pedals don't all just mash to the carpet and the handbrake doesn't hit the sunroof.
~prop:112,throttle,-14,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:113,brake,-10,0,0,0,0,0,0,180,0,1~
~prop:114,clutch,-16,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~
~prop:109,parkingbrake,-10,0,0,0,0,0,0,240,0,1~

Anyway to do gear stick/selector ?
