“La Vie a Toute Vitesse” – BeamNG.drive v0.19
From all of us at BeamNG to all of our awesome community, we wish you continued good health and that you all stay safe.
We are happy to announce the launch of version 0.19 of BeamNG.drive, which contains new vehicles, renovated maps and vehicles as well as continued optimization and improvement of our technology.
Leading the pack in this release is the launch of the Cherrier FCV platform with the Vivace and Tograc models. Cherrier is a new manufacturer in the BeamNG.drive universe. Originating from France, this manufacturer embodies the European spirit of 21st Century automobile design. Aggressive lines, quirky details and a wide range of powerplants are the hallmark of Cherrier’s product line and the FCV platform is the latest expression of their style and engineering philosophy. In keeping with the future of automotive technology, an electric version of the Vivace and Tograc are available, with the FCV platform having been conceived to support both traditional and electric drivetrains from the outset. From economical commuters aimed at the family market to aggressively tuned hot hatchbacks that turn heads and burn rubber in equal measure, Cherrier has a version of its vehicles to appeal to anyone. A strong contender on the competitive driving scene, Cherrier’s chassis are used by several teams in both rally and hillclimb competitions. Cherrier also enjoys a good relationship with France and Italy’s police forces, whose specially tuned versions pursue and contain road-based dirty deeds across the autoroutes and autostradas.
Turning to our maps, we have continued the renovation project and are ready to release Small Island. This map has received a major overhaul to bring its appearance better into line with the stated geographical location. With the rebuilt harbor, research station and helipad we are introducing more points of interest to aim for. The road layouts have been adjusted for better driveability and new offroad trails have been added. Small Island may not be the largest map in the game but it now offers good reasons to go check it out.
In other areas, we have improved the ambient sound systems throughout the game. The directionality of sounds is better, pitch wobbling at high speeds should be noticeably improved and we have reworked the way impacts sound. There has also been some work put into making our sound bank loading logic support future mod banks. Those of you who continue to drive cars into the water in the hope that they will someday function as submarines will be happy to know that we now have underwater sound ambiance. The vehicle team has been hard at work not just on the Cherrier FCV platform vehicles but also a remaster of some of our older vehicles. In this release, we are focusing on Gavril, with remastering taking place on the Roamer, D- and H-Series.
To better guide our development efforts in the future we have implemented an optional game session data collection system. This collects limited game session data on things like which maps players are using, the vehicles they are driving and the additional features they have enabled or disabled. This data is anonymized before any of our employees have access to it and the collection is entirely on an opt-in basis. Those of you who are ok with us collecting this game session data can give us permission to do so in the game settings menu. This permission can be withdrawn at any time. We have also updated our privacy policy to include what data we collect, how to opt in and out of the data collection and how to request the deletion of your data.

FWD and AWD powertrains are available, with gasoline, diesel, or electric power. And of course, there will be lots of parts to combine and play with!
Head on over to our dev blog for more detail on the work involved in getting this newest member of the BeamNG.drive vehicle family into the game.
Update v0.18.4 - Crawler Scenario Improvements
In this tiniest of tiny updates we kicked the track marshal out of the airconditioned trailer to paint some lines on the ground for the crawling scenarios. So now the courses aren't a county-wide free for all. You're still ok to drive outside the lines, but the competitive among you can make it a point to remain within them.
Gameplay
Added lines to demarcate the crawler course boundaries

Update v0.18.3 - The Ibishu Hopper Crawler Release
Where other vehicles say "No way. No how.", the Ibishu Hopper Crawler says "No roads? No problem!" Designed to find a path over and around obstacles and terrain that puts the fear of the scrapyard into other vehicles, the Ibishu Hopper Crawler features a lift kit, upgraded suspension, super-sized offroad wheels, four wheel drive, finely tuned gearing and body armor where appropriate. There's also a roll cage for those moments where you go from extreme pucker factor to sudden release, if you catch our drift. Whether inching its way over boulders or slamming through undulating countryside, the Ibishu Hopper Crawler is for those who see potential paths wherever they go. Try it out in the three new crawling scenarios designed to show off the capabilities of this mountain goat of vehicles.
