Algorithms have been written for the physics equations to be carried out. The implementation of soft-body physics allows vehicle damage to be realistically simulated.īeamNG.drive uses soft-body physics to simulate vehicle dynamics and collisions between objects and vehicles.

Completing missions awards the player in-game currency and two types of experience points: Branch EXP, which is experience points gained within specific branches, and Beam EXP, the overall amount of experience points.

Campaigns are collections of small scenarios on specific themes, including races, chases and stunts. īeamNG.drive features various gameplay modes and scenarios such as campaigns and a time trial mode, aside from free mode.

The game was initially released as a tech demo on 3 August 2013 along with paid access to an alpha, and was made available on Steam Early Access for Microsoft Windows on. The game features soft-body physics, which simulates realistic handling and damage to vehicles.
