The latest BeamNG Drive update adds a ton of new features to the car-smashing simulator.

Despite being in Steam Early Access and far from completion, BeamNG Drive has come a long way since its initial release way back in 2013. Its soft-body deformation physics is unsurpassed, setting the standard for realistic damage modelling in driving games. It’s effectively a sandbox that lets you cause the most spectacular crashes possible.

As development continues, BeamNG Drive has received a substantial new update. As revealed in the BeamNG Drive Update v0.26 patch notes, the latest patch adds an updated car, new missions, a preview of the realistic hydraulics system, and much more to the car-smashing simulator.

One of the main new additions is a remaster of the Ibishu Covet. The hot hatchback has been updated with a revamped 3D model, new textures, and an updated design. With almost 40 configurations, it’s also now available in USDM and JDM versions, with the JDM featuring right-hand-drive, and unique trim levels and styling.

Furthermore, the Covet is the first car in BeamNG Drive to feature racing interior parts, openable doors, bonnet, and boot, an animated manual shifter, and a working odometer.

In addition, the update also adds support for motion blur to enhance the sense of speed, enhanced foliage in select maps, a new Chase mission type, a preview of a new realistic hydraulics system, performance enhancements, and much more.

Mods still using TorqueScript code will be logging warnings. In addition, action’s default context has changed from TS to ELUA.

Future updates will drop support for TorqueScript-based input actions, so we advice modders to port them before this code cleanup arrives

This is still an experimental release! The editor is working on the jbeam source data and cannot save anything just yet.
