Decided to do a sequel, not just because the last time I did a video like this it blew up, but so that I could clear up some questions I had on the first one. Get the game here: www.beamng.com/ #beamng
Small side note, this is my 100th upload, so I thought I should make it something good and not a shitepost. Thanks to anyone who has been watching me for every one of those hundred videos, there will be many hundreds more to come. 👍 Edit: Also apoligies for the slightly badly timed text at 10:51 at that point of the video I was pretty much editing on pure adrenaline due to my PC having issues and threatening to fuck over my work. Who cares xdddd
@@Polandball_taken doesnt really matter, all the changed except the shadows will not affect performance. the game will look nicer on higher graphics settings, but that would be true in any case so its up to you and your specs really
I already boosted the bass frequencies, if I did it any more then it would just sound boomy and it would be like 40% background noise. Sometimes you can't fix shit mics lmao
Highly recommend lowering the shadow distance too. On bigger open maps the popin isn't worth it, but if you rarely look too far ahead, lowering it to about 1000 can drastically increase the perceived resolution. Make sure the shadow fade distance is always lower though, otherwise all shadows will dissappear!
@@SourDisc it also fixes shadow bitdepth issues. Essentially, no matter what the resolution, there will always be a gap between an object and it's shadow that overdark can't fix but a lower shadow distance can

As a user of your old graphics settings and someone who knows jack shit of what 75% of the things do in the editor this update makes me very happy. Thank you!
One good mod for this is the 'CK graphics mod' menu, you can boost the shadow quality, LOD, Ambeint Oclusion quality, and it will save for you everytime you get into a game if you press the hotkey to toggle it on or off. The only unfortunate part of using it Is you lose some FPS.
I'm thinking CK could really take notes from this video aswell. If you could combine these settings with that menu then you would have a super popular mod
Hey SourDisc, you can also change the logweight from 0.980 to 0.970 (less quality more detailed shadow distance) to 0.999 (more quality less shadow detail distance) 0.990 is recommended!!
Someone should really make a mod that loads all of these graphics tweaks on startup Edit: I didn’t watch until the very end when I made this comment, sorry! I’m a dumb ass
@@SourDisc could be cool, although what would really be powerful is if someone could make a preset manager for it... now that I think about it you could probably do that through a basic UI mod and some INI files(?) i don’t know, I’m not an experienced moder
Clear information, followed by instructions and showed by example. This is the meaning and definition of an Excelent! Tutorial. Thanks, thanks, and thanks
I've already answered this, both in the video and in another comment, but If you want it to save on just that map, then just save the map. But you will have to do it on every map because the world editor is only effective on one map at a time.
@@SourDisc and you also have to save the changes,which may break if a map is reworked.which means you'll probably also have to delete the changes from your userdirectory and do it again.
First, thank you for your video. I have a question. Can i save this Options for the next start of the Game? Cause every time i start the Game i have to set These Option New...
If you're asking about simply saving the map, then once you save it, the settings will persist. If you mean when you enter a separate map, then yes you need to change that map aswell. You're changing the map itself, not anything common.
Is there any way to adjust the bloom level in game or is that just a limitation of the shaders? I'm trying to keep some of the sun bloom without it just taking over the entire sky
Is it safe to save this on a career mode? also, the video is pretty good, i appreciate this, but for this video, your mic is really harsh in the mid-high end.
Yeah it should work no matter what game mode you save it in, although I haven't tried career. And yeah you're not the first to mention the mic, I've got a new one since and it's miles better
Yeah i was just a bit afraid to ruin my save file, so i'm thinking i'll open up the map in freeroam, save it, and see if the career loads map that i modified, thanks!! @@SourDisc

@@Delta132 bro I do that with all my videos. I wouldn't be a TH-camr if I didn't want views 💀
@@SourDisc Uhm does it depend on which graphic settings you are on?
@@Polandball_taken if you are going for looks then yes
@@Polandball_taken doesnt really matter, all the changed except the shadows will not affect performance. the game will look nicer on higher graphics settings, but that would be true in any case so its up to you and your specs really
You could use a bit of eq on your mic. boost the bass frequencies and it'll help it sound less thin. Very helpful video, will try.
I already boosted the bass frequencies, if I did it any more then it would just sound boomy and it would be like 40% background noise. Sometimes you can't fix shit mics lmao
@@SourDisc have you tried the new adobe AI thingy? I've got no idea if it would help in your case but i guess it's worth it to try.
@@SourDisc might be your speakers, if they’re too bassy. When editing you want to use a balanced audio source.
Nah just take 1cm of sponge and stick the mic in
No keep it, it sounds like old bub games video
Sunsky/Scattersky:
rayleighScattering> 0.0001

My favorite tweaks are to always increase the sunscale and brightness and lower the ambient light so the shadows are darker, and reduce the shadow distance for crisper shadows.
These jokes/memes and references were hilarious. Thank you for such a in depth look at how to make the game look good ❤
Thanks, finally I can drive under a realistic looking sky! The devs should really make these settings the default ones.

Ok so beamNG still needs a new graphics engine. Thx for the vid :D
No, It really doesn't man. You gotta upgrade that pc
As a user of your old graphics settings and someone who knows jack shit of what 75% of the things do in the editor this update makes me very happy. Thank you!
Set the log weight for the sunsky shadows to .995 for extra sharp shadows.
Aaaaaand also change time of day after doing all those settings to make all those changes look even more awesome ;)
This is definitely going to affect the current economic situation of Cambodia.
Good point, should have sticked to reshade
I don't even play the game or watch your content, but I stayed the duration. Good job.

i do not even play this game, but i really enjoyed your commentary, editing and your sense of humor. loved the video!
i just watched the entire 11:55 of an TUTORIAL
love the editing

So apparently real life grass is green??? I’ve never seen it.
This won't affect your PC if you can run the game.
Me with computer that barely runs the game on 24fps.
One thing you can do to make shadows higher quality is setting the logWeight to 990 to 999
0:48 I see iv come too the right place.
The brightness is a V probably because it stands for value, which is the standard in 3d editors !
i was subscribed to your channel 💀
Don't worry i have a good PC and it goes really good, love you.
Great Quality! Loved the video
One setting that no one’s talking about is the gamma slider, put it on 0.75 and enjoy more contrasted and colourful graphics.
this is also true
Absolutely lovely video, nice one.
Now all jokes aside, this was pretty helpfull and still being funny af to watch so, thanks bud
after tweaking the settings u showed i legit gained fps wtf
i apply all changes i save the file but i changed the map and the config dissapear :(
damn, not sure if my version or your version looks better now, also absolutely gonna be using that shadow clipping fix
Brother I didn't know I needed this and I love look forward to more of your content.

@@SourDisc youre welcome.

Beam ng needs to hire this dude
does doing this only work on the map that you are in or does it also automatically change it for other maps?
it works only on the map you change it on. you will have to do it again on other maps because the world editor only changes one map at a time
@@SourDisc and you also have to save the changes,which may break if a map is reworked.which means you'll probably also have to delete the changes from your userdirectory and do it again.

Id say sun size should be lowered as the sun doesent look THAT big irl
