Features
Customizable settings
– A full settings menu integrated directly into the BeamNG UI.
– Changes are applied instantly.
– Settings are automatically saved between game sessions.
– There is a button to reset all settings to default values.
Realistic smoke while drifting
– Smoke visible during gentle drifting and controlled skidding.
– Smoke density gradually increases during longer and more aggressive drifts.
– Smoke intensity reacts to engine power, tire grip, slippage and wheel speed.
– Layers of core and outer cloud particles create a denser image.
– Smoke first forms around the tire and then spreads outwards and upwards.
– Longer drifts create larger, denser and more lasting clouds of smoke.
Wheel Slip and Brake Smoke
– Drive wheel slip creates realistic tire smoke.
– Freewheel slip and low speed skidding are fully supported.
– Smoke intensity increases with wheel speed, available grip, and engine power.
– Brake smoke only appears when a wheel actually locks up.
– Vehicles equipped with ABS do not produce unrealistic brake smoke.
– Vehicles without ABS may produce wheel lock smoke during hard braking.
Smoke and Airflow Interaction
– Soft depth interaction prevents smoke from passing through the body of the vehicle.
– Pre-generated smoke clouds react as the vehicle passes through them.
– Vehicle speed creates a subtle trail of air through the smoke.
– Airflow directs smoke to the sides, roof, and rear of the vehicle.
– The strength of this interaction is automatically scaled according to the speed of the car.
Mud and Rough Road Effects
– Completely redesigned mud effects for different surfaces.
– Denser dust when driving fast on rough roads, wheel slip and skidding.
– The strength of the effect reacts to wheel speed, surface contact and skidding.
– Unique effects for mud, mud, gravel, sand, gravel roads, grass and swamps.
– Aggressive drifting on rough roads creates larger and more energetic clouds of mud.
– Mud clouds interact with the air flow as the car passes through them.
Exhaust Effects
– Improved layered exhaust smoke with smoother and denser shapes.
– Cold exhaust fumes naturally expand after exiting the exhaust pipe.
– Exhaust smoke gradually disperses and does not dissipate quickly.
– Use smoke to illuminate the scene and better integrate with the surroundings.
Fire and exhaust backfire effects
– Redesigned in-car fire effects with smoother flame motion.
– Different flame sizes for small, medium, large and fast-spreading fires.
– Improved colors for flame, exhaust gases and exhaust backfire.
– Separate flame elements with blue, orange, red and glowing colors.
– Large fires produce dense, expanding black smoke.
– Smoke from fires can create an air trail when the car passes through it.
Radiator and Coolant Effects
– Improved steam from damaged radiators and cooling systems.
– Separate layers of condensed steam and light coolant mist.
– Effect strength reacts to coolant leak rate and temperature.
