The patch doesn't bring any groundbreaking updates to the career mode, however, the changes are welcomed. The quality of life adjustments with the UI is a great step forward.

World Editor​

  • Added Vehicle Detail Viewer (Window → Experimental → Vehicle detail viewer)

The vehicle detail viewer is a fantastic addition for us nerds who love to look into exactly how BeamNG's physics works in real-time. What's more, the new feature allows damaged components to show up, meaning if you are driving with a cockpit camera and need to distinguish which part of your car is broken, you don't have to change view!

Great to see BeamNG moving forward with patches / updates, awesome:thumbsup:.

The 'Vehicle Detail Viewer' looks interesting, may have to add it to my list of things to do and see in BeamNG:inlove:

Thanks for reporting Connor:thumbsup:

Liking the 0.32 Showroom for Photographing vehicles in as it creates some nice lighting to really show the vehicles off, just another way to enjoy BeamNG:inlove::)

Trying out some other favorites in the Showroom.

Having a quick look and trial run in the 'Vehicle Detail Viewer', looks cool and the vehicle responds in real time as you are driving.

First screenshot shows 'Javi's - Burnside V8 Special' sadly crashed into a concrete wall:p...and when crashing into the wall you could view this all happening in real time. You can also hit 'Record' and play back the replay at a slower speed and watch it happen in slow motion:geek:

Although you can activate 'Photo Mode' as above screenshot shows, you can not take a screenshot using the photo mode 'Take a Screenshot' button as all the overlays dissapear as they should....leaving you with a clean screenshot....as below

I just used the 'F12' key for a Steam Screenshot as this takes everything as the first screenshot showed. To clean it up a little, cropping is the answer, as below;)

Not a BeamNG user yet, but they are realing me in little by little. I love dedication and support from a developper.
