    Since i could not find a BeamNG thread and this sim has improved big time in driving physics, tire model in the last years it's time to fix this ^^

    The June 2021 updates brought Tire Physics changes, PBR Materials and Graphics Update, Vulkan API and more to the sim and it is on sale for 16,79€ atm.

    I used to play this when it was Rigs of Rods before the devs left. A mix of AC free roam mods and Spintires. Good for letting off steam and crashing but not the most realistic and not a racing game.

    Sim Physics Guru Niels Heusinkveld seems impressed :D

    NEW UPDATE 2021-07-22: Better performance, traffic, new materials, new lighting, collision fixes

    ww.mediafire.com/file/6ur4hyqgoav8rpq/ks_nord_v20210722.zip/file

    Remove any old versions of ks_nord in your mods or levels folder and clear your cache before installing. Place the .zip file in your mods folder to install. Please note that due to the large size of the map and very detailed road collision meshes, you will need a decently spec'd computer to run smoothly. Ultra lighting is recommended if you can run it.

    Changelog:
    2021-07-22
    - Significant performance optimizations recommended by Olrosse
    - More materials converted to multilayer PBR like grass
    - Fixed some collision issues at Brünnchen reported by Yu and Juan Ordóñez Galbán
    - Fixed collision materials of kerbs and Karussells
    - AI paths for the Nordschleife loop only - traffic can now be spawned
    - Added default German license plate
    2021-07-09
    - Fixed disappearing shadows in first person camera in certain FOVs and aspect ratios
    - Fixed "ghostly" 3D-looking car shadows
    2021-07-05
    - Added missing objects like trees and Touristenfahrten area
    - Added Grand Prix track
    - Shortened initial loading times by including cached DAE files
    - Updated important materials to PBR (trees, grass, and other less important objects have not been updated to PBR)
    - Added time trial layouts for the 24h combined, touristenfahrten, and grand prix layouts
    - New lighting to suit new PBR materials
    - Brand new lighting and shadow settings
