New RDP Discord!
Hey everyone! I've created a new RDP discord, which will serve as a central hub for finding people to play with. In it you can find servers, others hosting & looking for Fun Runs, teaser images, vehicle discussion, advertisements for shows, and more. I'm hoping that this will cut down on some of the spam that gets posted to the Addicts FB Page.How To Join - Go tohttps://www.patreon.com/settings/apps and connect your discord to Patreon. It should automatically add you to the server!

Smith Metal Works + Toast + Tire Update
New - Smith Metal Works SS and Point bumpers, available in stock and loaded configurations!- These bumpers have a more complex design than other bumpers, with 2 rows of collision faces on the front of the bumpers as opposed to 1. This allows a flat surface on top with a more forgiving angle at the bottom half of the bumper, and closer replicates SMW's real designs.New - Toast Inc. Braced Rears, in 4 colors. These rears are more durable than the old braced rears, now renamed "Home Braced...

Roundback Update
NEW - Added 1976 Oldsmobile 98 WagonReworked Olds front frame - The stock and limited weld frames have been heavily adjusted, however the tilted frame still needs to be remade.Adjusted shocker subs - This was sort of a half-update to the shocker, as they will need more work next update to bring their quality up to the other vehicles. In general, they should be a little softer and less springyRedid 76olds presets - To see all of these, you may need to clear old presets in documents/beamng,drive/v...

89 Lincoln + 03 Massive Update!
I got a big update for you guys today. This could've been spread out to 2 or more updates but with RDP's Blizzard Bash coming up (look out for the official announcement) I wanted to put in some extra time to get a lot of work done! This is a very large update and has some incomplete work that will be updated soon, check below for a list.NEW - 89 Lincoln Bodies - These cars are 3" longer than their vic counterparts, so make sure you select the frames specifically labeled "Lincoln ...
Variety Update
Hope everyone's excited about the announced 94 lumina being made. With that on the table, I still wanted to get a good update out for you guys. Here's what's new- Added/reworked adjustable coil springs. You now have options no front and back of the olds and vics for height, damping, stiffness. Note that in beam, increasing the stiffness of a beam also compresses the length of it, so turning up your ride height and stiffness all the way won't be very high.- Added 2 new wagon bodie...

What is your opinion on the RDP Parsec scene
I think there may be a barrier for some RDP players to getting into multiplayer, and I'd like to help break those barriers down. First, what is your experience with playing on ParsecI'm making this poll public to all patrons instead of just voters tier to get a bigger picture
The Weight Update
This is, in my opinion, the best and most impactful update RDP has seen.New - Stock Tilted Ford framesAdjusted - frames and bumpers to be more rigidReplaced shocker leaf packs with 3 adjustable height variationsWEIGHT - Most parts have had their weight increased by ~40%.I have always thought that while small hits do an appropriate amount of damage, big hits never resulted in enough bending. That is changed with this update. Your limited weld cars will weigh about 2,000 more lbs. Hits now have mu...

Engine Update
Apologies for the long wait for this update. I ended up biting off more than I could chew, and was working on so many things that should've been 3 separate updates. I have a lot of unfinished work that isn't in this update but wanted to get something new out to everyone.Note; A lot of parts in this update will likely need tuning and adjusting.NEW STUFFShocker model has been completely overhauled and improved, and now matches proper shocker dimensions better. Shocker can now be skinned. I...
The making of the Shocker
Typically when creating an original vehicle for beam, I start with an existing car from in the game and modify it heavily to be a new vehicle. The vics are based off of the grand marshal, as are the olds 98s. If you've been around long enough, you remember how long the dev process was on the Crown Vics. The original deformation testing phase was a 6 month long process, mostly catering to small details of how the cars bend and finding the appropriate overall strength. A lot of it was also mak...
