In BeamNG.drive v0.33, key updates include the introduction of the Gavril MD-Series, a versatile medium-duty truck with extensive customization options, and the final update to the Gavril T-Series. Several vehicle parts have been enhanced, new missions and drag racing systems have been added, and the West Coast, USA map has received various improvements. Additionally, the update introduces the powerful Road Architect Tool for designing detailed road networks in the World Editor.
NEW VEHICLE: Gavril MD-Series
Introducing the Gavril MD-Series, a versatile medium-duty truck that fills the gap between the D-Series light trucks and the T-Series heavy-duty models in BeamNG.drive v0.33.
This robust vehicle is available in both early and late versions, featuring three cab options and extensive customization possibilities. You can choose from a variety of wheel and tire sizes and select from multiple loading configurations, including a pickup bed, fifth wheel, two flatbed sizes, and specialized attachments for logging, dumping, cargo transport, ambulances, and tankers.
For off-road enthusiasts, the Gavril MD-Series offers four dedicated 4WD configurations. Notably, two of these combine the transfer case rangebox with the gearbox splitter to achieve exceptionally low gearing. Additionally, some configurations now include JATO Rockets with updated materials, and when paired with the Ram Plow, they transform the truck into a powerful machine capable of clearing traffic effortlessly.
Gavril T-Series Remake Part 3
The T-Series remake is reaching its conclusion with this third and final update, which introduces several highly requested features.
Among those is a new, shorter variant of the fifth wheel frame, several interesting axle configurations – such as twin-steer, tri-drive and a passive steering lift axle with rather interesting handling characteristics (lift it before reversing) and, for the racing enthusiasts, we’ve also added an option for a V8 engine with up to 3000 HP for loaded-truck drag races! And if that’s not fast enough, how about adding JATO rockets?
Theis round also brings several new configs, including one with a tridem rear suspension, suitable for steel coil transport, and a twin steer dump truck with better maneuvering. Some existing configurations have also been updated with the addition of more powerful engines, lift axle or twin steer for better handling of heavy loads.
New Vehicle Parts
Ibishu Pessima and Hirochi SBR4 received a number of new configs, aftermarket parts, and fresh liveries. Smaller fixes and improvements were done for several other vehicles, including the Autobello Piccolina, Bruckell Legran, Civetta Scintilla, Hirochi Sunburst, and Soliad Lansdale, among many more, as well as some fixes to the container trailer and several props.
And for those among you who appreciate the finer details: the Porta Potty now spawns in a correct orientation, and the latch issue has been resolved! For a full breakdown, be sure to check the patch notes.
West Coast, USA Improvements
In the levels department, another round of improvements has been done to several areas in West Coast, USA, including the Belasco and Spearleaf Shuffleboard Logistics area, the road network in the Spearleaf Marine Logistics area, the diner, the dirt track, and the tunnel lanes to the island, among others.
“We’ve updated the island refinery entrances, revamped parking, improved island sidewalks with better paths, and replaced highway toll booths with new models. Smaller bug fixes address issues with unused materials, floating objects, and mesh errors. Plus, Chinatown shops now feature accurate Chinese signage. 加油!”
Missions
The missions system is getting a refresh with a range of new challenges!
All single-player Scenarios have been converted into missions and we’ve thoroughly polished the existing missions, including updates to player vehicles. Additionally, seven brand-new missions have been introduced – the Gavril MD-Series now features a Delivery mission in Italy, a Crawl mission in Johnson Valley, and an Evade mission in East Coast, USA. Italy is getting a Time Trial mission, while West Coast, USA receives two Gymkhana (drift) missions, with another added to the Industrial Site.
A brand-new drag racing system has been implemented, usable both in and outside of missions, with customizable drag race types. We’ve added four new drag missions — two in Gridmap V2 and West Coast. The Drag Practice Mode can be entered in freeroam without any loading screen, just approach the stage line and go! Additionally, drag nodes have been added to the Flowgraph system, enabling the creation of drag missions anywhere.
The Drift mission type has undergone extensive improvements. Scoring and combo systems have been fine-tuned, offering a more balanced and rewarding experience. Several new stunt zones have been added, and now it’s also possible to add an unlimited number of stunt zones to Drift challenges. Furthermore, the visibility of stunt zones has been drastically improved with an updated drawing method, resulting in far better drift detection accuracy, especially at low speeds.
NEW: Road Architect Tool
This is a powerful addition to the World Editor which will allow you to procedurally design and configure detailed road networks that integrate with other BeamNG features. With Road Architect Tool, you will be able to sculpt terrain using advanced terraforming tools, lay down a variety of roads and junctions, connect them, and then focus on detail work to customize the road network to your exact specifications. The tool already comes with a variety of ready-to-use objects and materials for your customization needs.
Along with the Road Architect Tool, we’ve made other fixes to the World Editor, including UI changes, improved tooltips, and a dedicated button for dummy materials cleanup.
