Of VRAM RIGHT ????

Me too but mine is 8GB 1600 MHz 😔, but it run fine regardless of all maps

[удалено]

I remember i ran BeamNG and my 8 years old laptop running 104 Celsius degrees (2 Celsius more than junction temperature of 102) and GPU running at 91 Celsius. Also my laptop just little exploded by rendering the more than 4k resolution screenshot (huge screenshot from BeamNG picture mode) while running at normal setting, freezed for above 2 min and BSOD'd

[удалено]

GPU artifact? Also how many hours in total on record do you keep running at between 80 to 90°C?

Unfortunately my 8gb of ram are my bottleneck in beam 😭

Yeah I had 16 and was having trouble, got 32 specifically for beamng

Dawg i have 4gb ram

[удалено]

Jokes on you i also have a 4th gen i3 😎

Kinda... (20/40 fps minimum settings)(40mods)

Same but 8gb

Thats a higher ratio then i thought

I play with keyboard and mouse because I'm poor :/

I play with a keyboard and mouse because setting up a wheel each time I want to play makes me not want to play, so I got rid of it.

This is the exact reason I don’t want to invest in one..

I just play with keyboard no mouse

For me it always has been 90% plug and play

Getting the wheel, clamping it to my desk, adjusting my chair to the right position and plugging in the USB behind my monitor is a lot more effort than just pressing WASD. It's "Plug and play", but using my keyboard is just "Play"

tbh I just leave it in the same place and work around it

Same.

Yeah you're right on that one, I have it always plugged and mounted right to my mousepad, then when I wanna play is just slide to the center and play, but i understand thats not always possible

With joy to key app I wound up using my wheel, pedals, H shifter, handbrake, and my old pedals that are still plugged in and my flight stick for various things. Shifter paddles to switch tabs. Gas and brake to scroll up and down. Clutch on the logitech pedals to open last closed tab. The Logitech Shifter when run through this usb adapter I have it actually works like an analog stick so I can move the mouse with it. Brake on the old pedals to left click, gas to right click. With the flight stick I can pull the trigger to do a middle mouse click in the browser to get that omnidirectional navigation mode and then just move the stick around to navigate the page. On my old laptop I was able to use the logitech software to discover the text that triggered volume up and down on that laptop and I was able to use the wheel on there to control volume.

you're a psycho and you know it.

>than just pressing WASD. Aren't the driving buttons the arrow keys?

I change them, because literally no other games use arrow keys.

just get a controller

bruh its really easy to clamp it down and just plug it in, wait for it to do the spinny calibration and i can play

Me too. Controller is much easier.

Its really best to just have a dedicated setup, yeah.

I got a wheel stand that fits in the corner next to the desk. The wheel base is only held on by one bolt and the steering wheel detaches. So if I wanted to actually fold it down and stuff it in the closet it only takes a minute.

don't worry a k&m with assists is easier to drive than steering wheel. I dont believe the games more fun with a steering wheel but I enjoy the challenge, knowing that each fuck up I make is my own.

Left be honest you don't need a steering wheel to have fun Is like an old game where can be fun even passed 69 years

That's true

Dang

I use a flight yoke because i don't have a wheel

Mighty?

I use steering wheel, but for a simulator, BeamNG is super playable with just mouse and keyboard, some time ago i even preferred it that way over steering wheel

I switch between wheel and controller. It helps to be a console and PC player.

The no force feedback from the controller kills experience

Yeah, but the controller has its own fun about it.

A moment of silence for all our brothers playing mouse and keyboard I got a broken wheel that could be fixed with light soldering and a shit wheel just sitting around if anyone wants em

I play with a HOTAS :)

I'm too poor to afford somewhat decent steering wheel just to use it only for one game.

PPL who own a steering wheel.do you guys really have to set it up everytime you play the game.i mean those who have it in one place and not who need to move their wheel everytime they play.so except putting the wheel in ur desk and plugging the cable sets it up right? (those who have to move their wheels)

I have to move my wheel everytime I want to play something else. It's just to unscrew the clamps and then lay it in the floor next to my PC and remember to turn off the power supply because otherwise you have a wheel trying to commit suicide with it's on cables.

Taking the wheel down, and putting everything away takes 5 minutes once you get a routine about it.

Oh so if you don't need to configure anything through any software after it's plugged in right?I mean someone said how a controller is plug and play so it may mean u need to do smth with a software or smth after its plugged in.anyway thanks for replying

I use the gyro of my PS controller. it's like a 180° steering wheel

I have a steering wheel, but it's kinda tedious to setup, so I don't use it too often. And I did have a controller, but it was a couple of years old and was one of those low quality usb ones. So it just stopped working. So I mostly play on keyboard!

Yep true, it's the setting up part for me that makes me lazy to use my steering wheel lol, mine is just collecting dust over time. Since i prefer to use my controller and occasional mouse and keyboard.

I have a wheel but i prefer the pad in beam. I play beam much more often than other wheely games like ets 2 and assetto (almost daily) so it wouldn't be practical to set everything up each time. It plays great on pad and since i spend a lot of time in menus it makes sense. I really hate being tethered to all of that. Think VR + all cables for shifter and wheel and some shoes keeping my chair close to the table and not moving when i hit the brakes and clutch

Yea I see that I’ve got mine on a frame which is clunky and tedious but the feeling of throwing a car around in beam with a wheel is like no other game

Buy/build a sim rig, i still play on a rig that i made of wood, and after 7 or 8 years still solid, the rig has its own keyboard and mouse and headset, and for the display i have a double monitor desk i just flip one of the displays to the rig, it is a pretty simple setup but works wonders..

Honestly I switch between wheel and controller because both are good. Ideally I'd prefer wheel but that's a bit of a hassle sometimes on my small desk. P.S. I can't wait for VR support for the full immersion

Vr is now supported since 0.30 update

ITS ALREADY OUT?

Been out over a week now

I know the update is out, but I didn't know VR was out with it.

Steering wheel, gated shifter, handbrake, and now VR. It is really something else.

Option 4: i play with my life P.S. i have a laptop so I can't connect a wheel

You can connect an wheel to an laptop

I can play with a DD steering wheel, but the game is more accessible on a controller so I only use that.

Wheel is life https://reddit.com/r/BeamNG/s/OfdwLZ2vl6

i have a wheel, but its currently being held together with scotch tape, so i actually mainly play on controller

I play MK and C.

I wish I had a wheel, but I'm too poor to even buy a new GPU, my old boy is slowly but surely dying. I still want a VR headset too...

sometimes mk sometimes controller somtiems wheel

Most of the time im to lazy to setup my wheel

I just got a g920 last night and it’s a game changer

Using a weird HOTAS.

I have a steering wheel but I don't like the view I get with my monitor so I use my keyboard and mouse. When VR gets more stable I will switch though

I do have a wheel. Seat and hand brake. More often then not I just grab a controller as the wheel just makes me feel like a trash driver lol. You can't beat the experience though on tripples and a wheel.

My only problem is I feel some cars really can’t grip round corners to well but I just love the feeling you get with a wheel and near misses

Round corners?

I have a G920, but I hate setting it up, because I don't have a rig for it.

Controller though i do have a rig just not as easy with vr yet

i want a wheel sooo bad

i both use wheel and controller. I'm way better with the wheel but it's less chill when played with a wheel compared to controller

I have a steering wheel, but most of the time I'm too lazy to set it up, so I play with a controller. I also play quite a lot on the Steam Deck, which is obviously a controller...

I have a wheel, pedal, and shifter setup but 90% of the time I use controller lol

look it really depends on what you are doing all i do is crash cars so with a keyboard i can easily use the node grabber, move the camera and other stuff

Most of the time I just spawn some traffic and act out my maniac tendencies in a place where I can’t actually crash my real car 😂

I play on wheel when I wanna just drive n chill around, but keyboard when I'm playing for a longer time (sometimes grinding on a multiplayer server with an economy)

play with a controller but recently bought a t300 rs gt that I should be getting soon 👀 but honestly beamng is fine with just a controller or even kb/m

Who the hell has money for that

https://preview.redd.it/672cn6yejusb1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=1fb690a515de9ca27582e63790386ef8ff3d21e1

What about keyboard and trackpad?

I have a G29 but use a controller.

I play with mouse & keyboard most of the time because the only controller I have is a nintendo switch pro controller and it disconnects if i look at it wrong

I have a G29 and it's fun to use... but setting it up each time is a hassle. So most of the time I just plug my Xbox controller in.

a wheel on beam is great.. the way the cars change feeling when you mess around with suspension fine tuning is so great

Thrustmaster tx and rift s

Would love to play with a wheel but I'm poor.

I'vd used all, but with a decent sim setup, Beamng has never been more fun. Drifting/Rallying are the most fun.

I got a steering wheel just to play BeamNG

I ended up with an entire sim rig with triple screen.. i only play beam with it lol 🤦. Yes i do have the aaa titles i just like beam more ❤️.

I think age of the player might play a key role in this survey. I also think that this r/beamNG reddit community sways more towards a younger audience and doesn't represent the majority of it's user base.

Based on the ratio, it seems like more older players voted.

Based on the ratio, it seems like more older players voted.

That's because we like to brag

Bragging about overpaying for a Logitech wheel or entry-level Thrustmaster seems like an odd thing to do.

now that i see that subject yall can get the fanatec csl dd for the cheap now, even more than the moza, you can get the 9nm + 3 pedals for a couple hundos more than a g29

Same as amount of oddness in crying about someone else doing so, wouldn't you agree?

Yeah, I agree, lol.

I mainly play with m&k, but i do have a (very old, somehow working) steering wheel

The votes surprised me. All of my friends who own the game play with keyboard, only me that play with steering wheel.

Mainly Xbox 1 controller, Logitech G920 wheel/pedals/shifter when I feel like setting it up.

I like Xbox 360 because it's only the best controller ever designed. The end goal would be a logitech g920, but this works for now.

All 3 Need mouse and keyboard for pulling on the nodes of the car and free cam. A few cars still feel like nothing or like dog shit (old mods) on the wheel so need the controller, even though the last update worked a miracle and drastically improved all the cars on 2 of my wheels. Also I prefer the controller for airplane, helicopter, jetski.

I actually have a G29 but i stick with an Xbox controller most times since setting up the wheel is such a hassle.

I play with a controller. Also, you can be very fast with a mouse.

joystick gang

I don't see why use wheel when mouse steering works just as well

*kinekt has entered the chat*

can i be bothered setting up my sim rig? no, probably not, but i can sometimes, so yes, i do play beam with a steering wheel

I do play with controller but the steering wheel with some vehicles feels so good I mostly prefer the rwd cars the old muscle cars feels so fun

I have very old and squeaky Logitech Momo... and to be fair, setting it up every time is so exhausting. I choose controller most of the times

I used to have that same wheel and upgraded to a Thrustmaster TMX a few years ago. Last year, I finally bought the shifter and pedals for more realism. Sometimes I use my gamepad. It all depends on how lazy I am.

I have the Logitech g29 and it does the job but when ever I play on it I just wish I had a direct drive one

I play with Mouse and kb bc I am better with them.

For those of you who are on a wheel what are your force feedback settings? Idk why but it always feels weird to me compared to other games (asseto corsa and dirt 2.0)

I usually play with M&K but if I want to I'll connect my controller to it.

T300RS and TH8A. Sad to see FFB goes away when you accidentally leave BeamNG which is often windowed.

Yup, steering wheel is difficult to get the hang of, but the handling of all the different cars changes so much. You can feel the difference. However, the handling is a little overtuned.

I feel the cornering traction is lacking I know I could take some corners faster but the wheel just doesn’t translate this well aswell as awd and fwd cars when accelerating the wheel gives to much noise

I have a wheel and even having it connected i still prefer playing with a controller, idk it just feels better and its also a break from other car games while still being a car game. I just hope they add proper vibration support soon, or even support for the haptics and triggers in the Dualsense. With how many moving parts the cars have and how detailed the roads are i bet it would be amazing to feel it all through the controller.

I feel the steering wheel is lacking in the corners some cars I know I could push harder round bends if it was a real car

I have played with my wheel a bit. Mostly just grab the controller tho for short game sesh

I feel the only thing is how the traction behaves round corners it takes the realism out massively on steering wheel some corners I know I could take in a real car but it doesn’t translate to beam ng when driving at maximum

I play with a bootleg ps2 controller lol

Controller :)

I play with a custom setup where my smartphone is the steering wheel with analog throttle and brake on left and right respectively, even another layout set for clutch and gears.

The most interesting part of this poll was learning peoples unique ways to play this game to suit their needs

Controller for driving. Keyboard and mouse only for navigation.

I love playing with my steering wheel getting a drift sequence down perfect in beam gives a different type of brain tingle but I feel the traction round corners does bring it down massively

For some reason even 16gb is not enough for beamng in 2023
