.Rigs of Rods ( RoR) is a vehicle-simulation game which uses soft-body physics to simulate the motion destruction and deformation of vehicles. The game is built using a specific engine called, which simulates a network of interconnected nodes (forming the and the ) and gives the ability to simulate deformable objects. With this engine, vehicles and their loads flex and deform as stresses are applied. Crashing into walls or terrain can permanently deform a vehicle until it is reset; however, not all vehicles in the game have flexible bodies. TurboTwin in Rigs of RodsRigs of Rods was initially created as an off-road truck simulator, but has developed into a versatile physics game.Prior to version 0.28, the game was limited to typical land vehicles with wheels, but plane and boat engines have been added since.
All engines allow for a wide range of customization, leaving virtually no boundaries. Vehicles are built using connected by beams. Vertices (or 'nodes') are influenced by the stress on the beams that connect them. If a beam is too stressed, it will deform, thus altering the associated nodes position which ultimately alters the appearance and handling of a vehicle. Vehicle configurations are stored in plain text. Simple 2D skins can be made to wrap the vehicle, and can be supplemented with static. Recent development has allowed for static meshes to be deformed according to a skeleton of nodes, much like the system in the game.
This system is known as Flexbody, and has been included since version.36.The mapping system uses terrain data defined in a raw image file, such as that found in a which can be used to form a realistic surface. Terrains can be made using any other program that can generate a black and white. This also means that maps can be made from any image.As a sandbox, Rigs of Rods has no fundamental gameplay goal, but scripting support contributes to missions and game play interaction like the timing of checkpoints along a road or dragstrips.
Previously, was supported as the scripting engine, but it has now been replaced by since version 0.38. Support allows over 64 users to simultaneously interact on a playing field.Critical reception Physicist described Rigs of Rods as 'one of the best driving simulations I have ever seen.'
More About Rigs of Rods Rigs of Rods is one of the most liked and played Free-to-Play Vehicle Driving Simulation that offers Soft-body Physics. The Soft-body Physics lets you enjoy Simulations for vehicle Destruction and Deformation.
Rigs of Rods was featured in UK in the Christmas 2007 edition. French magazine previewed Rigs of Rods in their June 2008 issue. Rigs of Rods author, Pierre-Michel Ricordel, was invited to talk about the game at the French convention, on July 10, 2009. The game was downloaded between 2009 and May 2017 alone via 6.7 million times. See also.

My specs areGTX TITAIN Z 12gb (Dual GPU)intel i7 4790K @ 4.0GHZ32 GB RAM @ 1600 mhz DDR3Asus Z97 series MOBOWindows 8.1 64-bitI should note that i played BeamNG with a GTX 750 and got 60 FPS with 6 cars at max graphic settings with the rest of the system identical to this one but when i had 8 cars i got down to 48 FPS (still good) and at 10 cars it went down to 30 (still very consistant FPS and still playable) this game is GPU and CPU intensive so you need a quad core i5 and a GTX 660 or better to get the full experience.

Runs @ 120FPS on my machine:PBeamNG doesn't have an indepth simulation driving physics engine, that's his point. By in depth do you mean technical failure? Or do you count the photo realistic way it appears or the way it drives. I can say i give this game respect when it comes to the driving side. But BeamNG is just as realistic if not more so when it comes to the drive part (technical failures and all including the way the cars handle).
Infact its damage engine can allow all sorts of vehicals including Airplanes, ANY car you want (assuming you can use blender well enough) and a vast amount of maps that can be tewaked in the included editor. So tell me how is the driving More indepth than BeamNG (Graphics DONT count:P). Originally posted by:so tell me how is the driving More indepth than BeamNGUh, we can start with the tyre model and work from there. The amount of variables to the tyre are very, very limited, and concepts like tread depth and carcass temperature just don't exist. We can move on to the engines, and the torque curves used are very simplistic with 500rpm steps between each value, no engine braking (negative torque) curve, and so on.BeamNG isn't meant to be a driving simulation at all, it's a soft-body physics engine with a demo game (Drive) wrapped around it, like Rigs of Rods before it. Project CARS is a driving simulation, thus the focus is on simulating all of the tiny details related to driving such as heat transfer from the brakes to the tyres, and less about how a body panel will flap at speed if you manage to crash hard enough to do that but not actually break the car.
Aperently Pez and Tyler have not looked at the dev page recently for BeamNG (i like pez more for his mind of reason):P. There is a torque curve with the engines in BeamNG. Cant say much about the Tyres (tread and whatnot) but the overall material is WAY more realistic (in terms of physics interaction) than anything i have seen. I can say that the CARS game does have EXELENT driving mechanics. But the real downer for me (in ALL racing games excluding mario kart and games like it) is the Damage realism. I got EuroTruck SIM 2 hoping for a 'HARD TRUCK 2' experence of crashes and mayhem in a dilivery sim. But all i got was 'Pretty Vehicals' and 'Nice scenery' but NO visual damage WHAT SO EVER (makes the damage meter pointless if you ask me) BeamNG as a whole has gotten WAY better in the last 3 months than over the course of the last year.Im only a sucker for great graphics if the physics are just as good.
