(April/2 2025)
Game Engine
We’ve released several hotfixes to address the reported issues with version 0.35. You can find all the details in the changelogs below:
v0.35.5
(April/10, 2025)
Game Engine
- Fixed a crash when closing the application
Input and Force Feedback
- Improved force feedback in several steering wheels by reducing the refresh rate In recent releases the Automatic update rate was allowed to use up to 2000Hz, instead of the safer 400Hz that was used in the past. An excessive update rate will be detrimental for some steering wheels, resulting in poor force feedback. This hotfix reverts Automatic back to using 400Hz or lower.
Note: If you want to experiment with higher rates, you can select them manually as usual, and test the results. We advice that you retest after any update to steering wheel drivers and firmware, or that you switch back to Automatic.

Greetings, drivers, and welcome to our first update of 2025!
Version 0.35 shifts into high gear and delivers a long-awaited vehicle remaster, several revamped user interface components, brand-new missions, expanded modding tools lineup, and countless other optimizations, fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.
REMASTERED VEHICLE: Hirochi Sunburst
First up on the vehicle side, we’ve fully remastered the Hirochi Sunburst!
The community has been requesting this one for a while, and we couldn’t be happier to unveil it at last. The makeover comes with a bunch of features, including a Flat-4 drivetrain, a wide variety of both factory and custom configurations, and, finally, that wagon body everyone's been craving for.
The vehicle model has now been revised with increased detail and all-new textures. And to top that off, the lineup also offers a good deal of new customization options, including body kits, interiors, as well as striking new liveries.
Beyond the Sunburst's remaster, we’ve also added new parts, configs, and liveries for a number of other vehicles!
The majority of our vehicles also got slight revisions on suspension, as well as fixes and upgrades to materials, textures, and handling.
3D Mesh Loading Optimizations
In this update, we’ve substantially improved vehicle loading speed by transitioning to a new, optimized .cdae file format. Leveraging cached data and compression to streamline the process, it drastically reduces vehicle loading times while also curbing performance hiccups when swapping parts. Please keep in mind that, as always, this is still ongoing work.
Level Upgrades
As part of the ongoing improvements for West Coast map, we're rolling out another set of updated areas. These include the drag strip and the dirt track area, and a brand new drift track. To complement these changes, a round of optimizations was done to collisions in the city area and the overall drivability around race tracks.
But improvements don't stop there, Hirochi Raceway has gotten a new drag strip area and foliage libraries were updated across several maps.
Gameplay
The Freeroam Drift Zones catalog was expanded with new additions that will put your drifting skills to the test – four in Italy, two in Utah, and one in Automation. We’ve also added a Freeroam Drag Mode to Hirochi Raceway.
Drift enthusiasts can now gain better insights into their performance from the newly implemented Drift Statistics, which can be found inside the Drift Challenge end screen. Additionally, two new Drift UI apps were added - one to show the total score, and another to show information about the current drift.
The scoring system has been revamped, and now features Tiers. The more points accumulated - the higher the Tier. A couple of multipliers received a balancing pass and we’ve improved the crash detection logic. Combos now have a soft cap at 10x and a hard cap at 25x.
Two new missions—Strut Brace Loop and Garage Gauntlet—round out the list of gameplay improvements.
User Interface
Meanwhile, the UI team has been hard at work to bring you a new Radial Menu! The new menu was built from the ground up, and will be replacing the legacy one. Tailored for seamless user experience, it comes equipped with full gamepad support and refined layouts.
Feel free to share your feedback in the dedicated forum thread, we'd love to hear your thoughts!
Vehicle Systems
As part of the development process for the new rally vehicle variants, we are introducing two long-awaited vehicle systems in v0.35.
Anti-lag system (ALS): in turbocharged applications, lifting the throttle pedal will lead to a loss of turbo pressure, and the engine will take longer to respond to later throttle inputs. To prevent this increase in response time under competitive conditions, turbocharged rally cars often feature an ALS. Our air bypass anti-lag system attempts to maintain a defined target turbocharger RPM utilizing delayed combustion events taking place in exhaust manifold combined with an intake bypass valve to further increase the efficiency and control of the system. Our current ALS simulates an automatic arm/disarm logic - it'll kick in when needed, and it will also disarm automatically when it detects that you're no longer pushing hard.
Active center differential: in all-wheel drive vehicles (such as those in our newly introduced top rally category NGRC1) a traditional, passive, center differential can leave a lot of time on the table. In comparison, an active center differential can raise the performance ceiling, while also improving drivability at the limit. This new system takes into account multiple sensors and parameters from the vehicle, and with the help of internal maps, will instantly and continuously tune the behavior of the differential. This allows the differential to adapt to the driver's requests and to the current car attitude. For example, the rear axle can now automatically disengage when pulling the handbrake, progressively lock the differential to extract grip when necessary, and so on.
Modding & Tools
And last, but certainly not least, we got several exciting changes for the modders among you!
Please welcome our new experimental Building Architect Tool. This procedural tool will be able to generate and modify buildings directly in the World Editor. Head over to this documentation article to learn more.
Further updates include several new features for the Biome Tool, a new Roof Crasher Tester prop, changes to the JBeam workflows, and much more.
To see the complete list of changes, check out the patch notes here!
Dear BeamNG.drive community,
We're committed to continuously improving BeamNG.drive and bringing you the best experience possible. As part of this commitment, we'll soon need to end support for some older operating systems. With BeamNG.drive version 0.35 arriving soon, support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 will be discontinued. This change affects less than 0.06% of our community.
Additionally, with the upcoming BeamNG.drive version 0.36 later this year, we will also discontinue support for Ubuntu 20.04.
What does this mean for you?
If you're already using Windows 10/11 or Ubuntu 22.04 or newer: there’s no action needed. Your experience will continue seamlessly.
If you're on an older operating system: BeamNG.drive may no longer function properly, and we strongly encourage you to upgrade your operating system as soon as possible.
Why is this necessary?
This change is driven by industry-wide decisions and software requirements beyond our control. Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 between 2020 and 2023. Steam similarly ended their support for these versions in January 2024.
Internally, our software relies on a library created by Google, which has also discontinued support for older Windows versions. Similarly, Canonical's end-of-life for Ubuntu 20.04 in May 2025 means we will follow suit shortly afterward.
We hope you understand that taking these steps is necessary for the future of our sim.
If upgrading to Windows 10 or newer isn't an option for you:
You could continue using an older version of BeamNG.drive. However, please note that you'll miss future updates and content, and Customer Support won't be available for outdated versions.
Select 0.34.2_win7_no_updates in the Betas section (alternatively, if eligible, consider requesting a refund from Steam).

Season's greetings, drivers, and welcome to the highlights blog for our 0.34 update! This release introduces a highly anticipated new vehicle, expands the selection of vehicle parts, delivers a set of fresh gameplay challenges, as well as numerous fixes and improvements. So follow along while we chaperon you through all the details.
NEW VEHICLE: Bruckell Nine
Headlining this season's lineup is the Bruckell Nine, a highly anticipated pre-war vehicle. Carefully crafted to reflect the era's iconic design and historical authenticity, it's a perfect fusion of vintage sophistication and practical functionality.
The Bruckell Nine is one of our most versatile and refined vehicles to date. With nine different body styles – two coupe options, a sedan, a roadster, two van variants, two pickup styles, and a driver seat on a bodyless frame, it offers extensive customization possibilities.
The vehicle debuts with a heap of customization options that cater to both period-appropriate and modern applications. These include a hot rod and restomod parts, glass tint, and mechanical components. While factory variants retain the unique characteristic quirks and "janky" handling of a 1930s vehicle, modernized configurations bring smoother handling with advanced suspension and wheel upgrades, ideal for racing enthusiasts or those looking to test speed limits.
With this release we're also expanding the lighting system to simulate the gradual illumination of vintage halogen bulbs. This improvement introduces smooth transitions when turning headlights on and off, rather than toggling them instantly. For now, this feature is exclusive to the Nine, complete with a slight dimming effect during engine startup.
New Parts, Tweaks, and Fixes
But the holiday fun doesn't stop there! The Gavril Grand Marshall is getting a new widebody kit called the Slider, paired with a distinctive livery not likely to be seen on a big American sedan, it's tuned to take corners in style. The Drag configuration also benefits from several new aftermarket parts, sound tuning, and fixes for known issues.
For our law enforcement enthusiasts, we've upgraded police configurations across the board! We've expanded options to include police, undercover, emergency beacon lights, light bars, and flashers on vehicles that lacked them. Older police models now include antennas and halogen flashers, and some have gained new interior controls for beacon lights and light bars. The modern light bar now features selectable flash patterns, glass colors and accessories, as well as better optimization.
We didn't stop there - fixes, tweaks, and updates were applied to a variety of vehicles, including Burnside Special, Civetta Scintilla, ETK 800-Series, ETK-I Series, Gavril MD-Series, Roamer, and T-Series, the Ibishu BX-Series, and the Soliad Wendover, among others. Dive into the release notes for the full details!
West Coast, USA Improvements
On the environment side, several areas on West Coast, USA received another round of polish.
The Belasco Motorsports Park has been updated with a revamped parking lot and surroundings, along with a brand-new gravel off-road course adjacent to the track. Additional off-road sections have been introduced near the start of the mainland bridge, along with further optimizations on off-road areas throughout the map.
Bus shelters have been redesigned to better align with the aesthetics of the maps on Italy, West Coast, East Coast, Utah, and Jungle Rock Island. These shelters also feature updated bus route map textures.
Other improvements include memory optimizations and various updates to roads, forest, terrain, decalroads, AI decalroads and collision meshes, and more.
Gameplay
Drift enthusiasts, there's a new way to challenge your skills! No need to commit to a full Drift Challenge - we've added seven Freeroam Drift Zones in West Coast, USA!
As you explore the map, keep an eye out for blue road signs signifying drift zones. Start drifting near a sign to activate the system, which tracks your high scores and sets goals for you to beat. Then, drift all the way to the next sign and rack up points to complete the challenge!
We've also revamped the drift scoring system - instead of being time-based, it's now distance-based, so slower drifts will no longer provide better rewards than faster drifts over the same distance.
For drag racing, we've introduced a new precision-based challenge: Dial Racing. Set your target time before the race starts and aim to get closer to it than your opponent without overshooting. On top of that, we've improved automatic opponent selection and added a history feature which allows you to review past results.
Three new challenges join the missions lineup: Bootleg Runner on Utah, Hotrod Club on East Coast, USA, and Vintage Hauler on Small Island.
Alongside these additions, we've implemented a number of fixes and quality-of-life improvements across the gameplay systems. Most major challenges now have an updated UI with new start, end, and detail screens. The "Move to Start" feature replaces countdowns across many missions, and time-of-day settings can now be customized for select missions.
New in World Editor: Biome Tool
For the map makers among you, we're excited to unveil the new Biome Tool, designed to streamline your workflow. By utilizing mask controls and adjustable parameters, it allows you to populate the map with diverse foliage elements effortlessly. Using the Biome Tool, you can do in minutes what used to take days!
We've also improved the Resource Checker's UI, and added the ability to see how materials are used within the map. And last, but certainly not least, we've added a work in progress edit mode for the Traffic Manager, which will allow you to easily place and control traffic vehicles, props, and signals, complete with save-and-load functionality for your traffic layouts.
Naturally, there's so much more packed into this release than we've covered so far. Other changes include improvements for AI and traffic, reworked electrics handling, new and tweaked sounds, progress on our experimental Linux support, updates for the JBeam debugging and visualization tools, and fixes for a wide range of bugs and crashes.

The "Move to Start" feature replaces countdowns across many missions, and time-of-day settings can now be customized for select missions.
New in World Editor: Biome Tool
For the map makers among you, we're excited to unveil the new Biome Tool, designed to streamline your workflow. By utilizing mask controls and adjustable parameters, it allows you to populate the map with diverse foliage elements effortlessly. Using the Biome Tool, you can do in minutes what used to take days!
We've also improved the Resource Checker's UI, and added the ability to see how materials are used within the map. And last, but certainly not least, we've added a work in progress edit mode for the Traffic Manager, which will allow you to easily place and control traffic vehicles, props, and signals, complete with save-and-load functionality for your traffic layouts.
Naturally, there's so much more packed into this release than we've covered so far. Other changes include improvements for AI and traffic, reworked electrics handling, new and tweaked sounds, progress on our experimental Linux support, updates for the JBeam debugging and visualization tools, and fixes for a wide range of bugs and crashes.

As the days grow shorter and the weather colder, we're rolling out something to keep you cozy and entertained indoors. Version 0.33 brings a new vehicle, loads of fixes and improvements for vehicles, levels, and gameplay, along with a powerful new tool for the World Editor. Crucial work has also been done under the hood, clearing the path for future improvements.
NEW VEHICLE: Gavril MD-Series
Introducing the Gavril MD-Series, a versatile medium-duty truck that bridges the gap between the D-Series light trucks and the T-Series heavyweights.
This beast is available in both early and late variants, with three cab options and extensive customization possibilities. You can choose from various wheel and tire variants with several different sizes, and pick from a wide range of loading configurations, such as a pickup bed, fifth wheel, two flatbed sizes, and specialized upfits for logging, dumping, cargo boxes, ambulances, and tankers.
For those who crave off-road adventure, the Gavril MD-Series offers four dedicated 4WD configurations, two of which uniquely combine the transfer case rangebox with the gearbox splitter for very low gearing. But that's not all - some upfits now include JATO Rockets with newly updated materials, and paired with the Ram Plow, they transform the truck into a traffic-destroying machine!
Gavril T-Series Remake Part 3
The T-Series remake is reaching its conclusion with this third and final update, which introduces several highly requested features.
Among those is a new, shorter variant of the fifth wheel frame, several interesting axle configurations - such as twin-steer, tri-drive and a passive steering lift axle with rather interesting handling characteristics (lift it before reversing) and, for the racing enthusiasts, we've also added an option for a V8 engine with up to 3000 HP for loaded-truck drag races! And if that's not fast enough, how about adding JATO rockets?
Theis round also brings several new configs, including one with a tridem rear suspension, suitable for steel coil transport, and a twin steer dump truck with better maneuvering. Some existing configurations have also been updated with the addition of more powerful engines, lift axle or twin steer for better handling of heavy loads.
New Vehicle Parts
Ibishu Pessima and Hirochi SBR4 received a number of new configs, aftermarket parts, and fresh liveries. Smaller fixes and improvements were done for several other vehicles, including the Autobello Piccolina, Bruckell Legran, Civetta Scintilla, Hirochi Sunburst, and Soliad Lansdale, among many more, as well as some fixes to the container trailer and several props.
And for those among you who appreciate the finer details: the Porta Potty now spawns in a correct orientation, and the latch issue has been resolved! For a full breakdown, be sure to check the patch notes.
West Coast, USA Improvements
In the levels department, another round of improvements has been done to several areas in West Coast, USA, including the Belasco and Spearleaf Shuffleboard Logistics area, the road network in the Spearleaf Marine Logistics area, the diner, the dirt track, and the tunnel lanes to the island, among others.
We've updated the island refinery entrances, revamped parking, improved island sidewalks with better paths, and replaced highway toll booths with new models. Smaller bug fixes address issues with unused materials, floating objects, and mesh errors. Plus, Chinatown shops now feature accurate Chinese signage. 加油!
Missions
The missions system is getting a refresh with a range of new challenges!
All single-player Scenarios have been converted into missions and we've thoroughly polished the existing missions, including updates to player vehicles. Additionally, seven brand-new missions have been introduced - the Gavril MD-Series now features a Delivery mission in Italy, a Crawl mission in Johnson Valley, and an Evade mission in East Coast, USA. Italy is getting a Time Trial mission, while West Coast, USA receives two Gymkhana (drift) missions, with another added to the Industrial Site.
A brand-new drag racing system has been implemented, usable both in and outside of missions, with customizable drag race types. We’ve added four new drag missions — two in Gridmap V2 and West Coast. The Drag Practice Mode can be entered in freeroam without any loading screen, just approach the stage line and go! Additionally, drag nodes have been added to the Flowgraph system, enabling the creation of drag missions anywhere.
The Drift mission type has undergone extensive improvements. Scoring and combo systems have been fine-tuned, offering a more balanced and rewarding experience. Several new stunt zones have been added, and now it's also possible to add an unlimited number of stunt zones to Drift challenges. Furthermore, the visibility of stunt zones has been drastically improved with an updated drawing method, resulting in far better drift detection accuracy, especially at low speeds.
NEW: Road Architect Tool
This is a powerful addition to the World Editor which will allow you to procedurally design and configure detailed road networks that integrate with other BeamNG features. With Road Architect Tool, you will be able to sculpt terrain using advanced terraforming tools, lay down a variety of roads and junctions, connect them, and then focus on detail work to customize the road network to your exact specifications. The tool already comes with a variety of ready-to-use objects and materials for your customization needs.
Along with the Road Architect Tool, we've made other fixes to the World Editor, including UI changes, improved tooltips, and a dedicated button for dummy materials cleanup.

Greetings, drivers, and welcome to our first big update of 2024! We’ve got some great stuff waiting for you in this update, including a remastered vehicle, the continuing remake of Gavril T-Series, new props, new camera mode, and a ton of fixes and improvements.
Remastered Ibishu BX
First up, we have the artist formerly known as Ibishu 200BX - now the Ibishu BX-Series -, which has undergone a full remaster in this update. This includes fully updated meshes and textures throughout, new bodykits and customization options, and a V8 Swap. We've added the new 'Diana' variants, completely redone the suspension geometry, and turned the old coupe bodystyle into a liftback. The BX-series is getting an additional coupe bodystyle with a brand-new design, and we've doubled the number of playable configurations!
Gavril T-Series Remake Part 2
As part of its continuing remake, the Gavril T-Series is receiving a logging upfit, with two frame variants: a long upfit frame with a short straight frame end, and a medium upfit frame with a medium straight frame end. The new headache rack will be equipped by default on the logging upfit, but is also available for the fifth wheel upfit.
We’ve also added a ton of visual customization options for parts like bumpers, grills, and exhausts. The Gavril T-Series is also getting a low air wig wag warning, more customization options for the 900CUI Belasco diesel engine, beacon lights, and mirror antennas. The Mixer Upfit is being remastered, with a new realistic self-leveling pneumatic suspension. This new system offers single and multi-axle support, mechanical input for the self-leveling control, and a manual ride height override.
Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, some of the planned features were not included in the current release. This means that you have more to look forward to in future updates, including a V8 engine, additional frame options, and more axle configurations.
New Trailers, Loads, and Props
We’ve added a new Log Trailer, with two variants - a two-axle 27ft variant and a three-axle 40ft variant, each with an optional headache rack. The 40ft variant is equipped with a fifth wheel, making B-Train configurations possible. You're also getting empty and loaded variants, with either eight or 12 logs of varying types of wood. The new trailers are compatible with the new 4m Logs prop.
In addition to the new trailer, we’ve made some changes to the Dry Van, Flatbed, Small Flatbed, and Tanker trailers, as well as the Trailer Dolly. We’ve made a number of fixes to trailers as well, including fixing the locker position on the three-axle trailer bogie (we know you’ve been worried about that), addressing light-related clipping issues, and we did our best to fix a rare issue that caused trailers to explode when attached to the dolly.
In the props department, two new props have been added. The new Logs prop is compatible with the Log Trailer as well as the T-Series’ new logging upfit, and comes in several variants, including single logs and stacks of between six and 23 logs. The length and diameter of the logs are adjustable, and will affect the logs’ weight, as will the type of wood the logs are made of - there are eight wood types available, each with its own density which will affect the weight of the log. All the logs can float on water.
The new Steel Coil comes in 5, 10, 20, and 30-ton variants, and is excellent for overloading trailers and crushing cars. The size of the coils can be adjusted from the tuning menu when used as a standalone prop, which will affect their weight. The Steel Coil can be loaded on the Flatbed Trailer.
West Coast, USA Improvements
The West Coast, USA map has received further improvements!
We’ve updated the concrete batching plant area, the Quarry, and the Fast Automotive facility. Several floating and collision bugs were hunted down and eliminated without mercy, and we’ve continued the process of updating to PBR by updating some more materials. We’ve added a fuel station next to the logistics garage, reworked the residential area near the movie studio, and reworked the fences of the single houses in the suburbs. We’ve also updated roads and road markings to improve the driving experience, reworked major intersections and highway sections, and installed speed cameras. Big Brother is watching, now and always…
Missions
We’ve added five new missions - Desert Rally Stage and Outlander Valet in Johnson Valley, Prospector’s Return in Utah, Mixed Surface Stage in East Coast USA, and Drop and Dive in West Coast USA - and made a ton of tweaks, changes, fixes, and general polish to missions in general. This includes new anti-cheating barriers in BeamNG Sport Race - Automation Test Track, improved camera paths for Time Trial missions, and much more.
We’ve been hard at work on improving the drifting systems as well. The drift backend has been almost entirely refactored and optimized, which will make future implementations much easier and more robust. We’ve improved drift detection - ‘Drifting’ is now detected sooner than before, which will make chaining drifts significantly easier. Drift scoring has also been improved. The score spread between experienced and beginner drifters has been reduced, which will make it easier to balance drift missions. The scoring will now more accurately reward players for drifting at higher speed, with bigger angles, and near walls. The combo increment has been reduced, and its logic has been changed to reward players for longer drifts.
Drift logic is now always running in the background. Thanks to this, we now have drift-related statistics! Everyone loves statistics, right? We’ve also added an experimental ‘spinout’ logic. When spinning out (or crashing), a “Drift Failed: Cause” message will appear. We’ve also added a ‘Wrong Way’ message if you’re heading in the wrong direction on an A to B drift mission, which will be displayed if the player is heading the wrong direction. To make this experience less stressful, we’ve also removed the timer for these missions.
Vehicle Improvements
All of our cars have received detailed mirror support, while some of the more modern ones have undergone a mirror physics structure revamp to allow them to fold manually without breaking off straight away. We’ve also done some tire work, retuning a number of tires, and added two new wheels - the Civetta Stradale and Civetta Dark Owl 22x12 wheels, with matching tire sizes.
The Autobello Piccolina’s doors will no longer sustain damage when opening wide, and we’ve also fixed a literally unplayable typo in a skin name for the Autobello Stambecco, given it a roof bars option, added body-mounted license plate options, and introduced cargo load options.
We’ve added a couple of new simplified traffic cars: the Bruckell Bastion, Soliad Wendover, Gavril Grand Marshal, Gavril Roamer, Gavril D-Series, and the Gavril H-Series. In addition, we’ve improved the suspension for the ETK I-Series, ETK K-Series, ETK 800-Series, and the Ibishu 200BX. The simplified traffic LeGran has received many fixes, and we've added the wagon and facelift variants. For all traffic cars, we stiffened the tires to improve AI handling and reduce the chances of rollovers, tweaked deformation on head-on crashes and side impacts, and fixed some spiking issues.
We’ve also made improvements and fixes to many other vehicles, like the ETK I- and 800-Series, the Soliad Wendover, and the Soliad Lansdale, and Hirochi Sunburst, among others.
Force Feedback Improvements
We’re constantly looking into ways to make vehicle handling more realistic, and to more transparently transmit the steering rack torques to your steering wheel. For this update, we're glad to announce that some of our ongoing research has led to a minor but noticeable improvement on this front.
Your mileage may vary: for some, this improvement might feel almost imperceptible, while for others it'll be really noticeable. This depends on framerate, steering wheel and settings, vehicle suspension geometry, road surface detail and driving style. The improvements should be most noticeable when trying to catch minor accidental slides, when avoiding tankslappers, and when drifting intentionally. Those should happen more transparently now, helping drive with more confidence than before. Players might also feel slightly reduced vibrations in the wheel, especially when racing normally.
New Engine Sounds!
We've updated the i4 1600cc 'Motorsport' and i4 2000 'Endurance' turbo engine/exhaust, which you'll be able to hear on the BX series for 1600 and 1600 & 2000 on Cherrier, among other engine audio changes. We also introduced water splash sounds and a new way of naming blends for better future-proofing, check the patch notes for more details on that.
Crash Camera
And last, but certainly not least - we’ve added a Crash Cam! Once enabled in the gameplay options, the Crash Cam will automatically capture your crashes in glorious slow-motion. It includes several modes and will select one of them at random. The Crash Cam is currently only available in Freeroam mode, so go check it out and please share any feedback with us in the dedicated forum thread!
This is by no means all of the changes we’re bringing you in this update. There’s a whole truckload of fixes, tweaks, changes and polish, so check out the patch notes for more information.
Remastered Ibishu BX
First up, we have the artist formerly known as Ibishu 200BX - now the Ibishu BX-Series -, which has undergone a full remaster in this update. This includes fully updated meshes and textures throughout, new bodykits and customization options, and a V8 Swap. We've added the new 'Diana' variants, completely redone the suspension geometry, and turned the old coupe bodystyle into a liftback. The BX-series is getting an additional coupe bodystyle with a brand-new design, and we've doubled the number of playable configurations!
Gavril T-Series Remake Part 2
As part of its continuing remake, the Gavril T-Series is receiving a logging upfit, with two frame variants: a long upfit frame with a short straight frame end, and a medium upfit frame with a medium straight frame end. The new headache rack will be equipped by default on the logging upfit, but is also available for the fifth wheel upfit.
We’ve also added a ton of visual customization options for parts like bumpers, grills, and exhausts. The Gavril T-Series is also getting a low air wig wag warning, more customization options for the 900CUI Belasco diesel engine, beacon lights, and mirror antennas. The Mixer Upfit is being remastered, with a new realistic self-leveling pneumatic suspension. This new system offers single and multi-axle support, mechanical input for the self-leveling control, and a manual ride height override.
Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, some of the planned features were not included in the current release. This means that you have more to look forward to in future updates, including a V8 engine, additional frame options, and more axle configurations.
New Trailers, Loads, and Props
We’ve added a new Log Trailer, with two variants - a two-axle 27ft variant and a three-axle 40ft variant, each with an optional headache rack. The 40ft variant is equipped with a fifth wheel, making B-Train configurations possible. You're also getting empty and loaded variants, with either eight or 12 logs of varying types of wood. The new trailers are compatible with the new 4m Logs prop.
In addition to the new trailer, we’ve made some changes to the Dry Van, Flatbed, Small Flatbed, and Tanker trailers, as well as the Trailer Dolly. We’ve made a number of fixes to trailers as well, including fixing the locker position on the three-axle trailer bogie (we know you’ve been worried about that), addressing light-related clipping issues, and we did our best to fix a rare issue that caused trailers to explode when attached to the dolly.
In the props department, two new props have been added. The new Logs prop is compatible with the Log Trailer as well as the T-Series’ new logging upfit, and comes in several variants, including single logs and stacks of between six and 23 logs. The length and diameter of the logs are adjustable, and will affect the logs’ weight, as will the type of wood the logs are made of - there are eight wood types available, each with its own density which will affect the weight of the log. All the logs can float on water.
The new Steel Coil comes in 5, 10, 20, and 30-ton variants, and is excellent for overloading trailers and crushing cars. The size of the coils can be adjusted from the tuning menu when used as a standalone prop, which will affect their weight. The Steel Coil can be loaded on the Flatbed Trailer.

Season’s greetings, drivers!
It’s that special time of year again, and our festive update has arrived, ready for you to explore!
VEHICLE REMAKE: Gavril T-Series
The iconic Gavril T-Series has received an extensive overhaul. Key highlights include a brand new cabover variant, a remake of the conventional cab and mechanical components, complemented by new aerodynamic sleeper variants, tanker upfit, and new walking beam tandem rear suspension.
The overall lineup has been expanded with an added early model with round headlights and no front brakes (on some configurations). The updated T-Series offers many new frame options and different cab and sleeper configurations.
On a more technical note, we have implemented compression brake support and slidable fifth wheel with overhauled, more realistic coupling, as well as pneumatic simulations.
As part of this remaster, we're also adding a preview of the physical mirrors, currently available only on T-Series.
NEW TRAILERS & LOADS
In addition, we’re adding two new trailers; the Container Trailer and the Frameless Dump Trailer.
The Container Trailer has an extendable chassis with a scissor wire system and a pneumatic locker, which can be customized in real-time or in the Tuning menu. You can attach and detach containers in real-time, just like you attach trailers to vehicles, and the Container Trailer offers diverse load configurations. The Container Trailer comes in two variants - 20ft and 40ft. The 20ft variant comes fitted with a fifth wheel to pull another trailer behind it, while the 40ft variant allows the transport of containers in three different configurations, adaptable in real-time.
The Frameless Dump Trailer is a 45ft square box end dump semi trailer, with a unique frameless design popular in North America due to its low weight. Available with multiple axle configurations, from standard and wide spread 2 axles to a 3 axle variant.
You’re also getting a new trailer dolly, which can be attached to pintle hitches on the Gavril T-Series and trailers. Every semi trailer can be equipped with a pintle hitch, which enables players to create long road trains. The new dolly is available in two variants - a single axle with a fixed tongue, and a tandem axle variant with a drop-down tongue.
That’s not the only love the trailer line-up is getting, however - we’re making fixes and adjustments to the Dry Van trailer, Shipping Container, and the Tanker trailer. The latter of which is getting a 20ft variant as well as a 20ft tanker variant featuring openable lids and multiple liquid load options, among other things.
You can learn more about the realistic fifth wheel operation and trailer usage in this tutorial:
Next up in the selection of parts is the new Cargo Load Box. It comes in various sizes and adjustable weight capabilities, and can be installed on most vehicles.
EXPANSION: West Coast, USA
We've continued the expansion process of West Coast USA, with a new fuel station location, a commercial garage, and updated police station that features a whole new parking garage facility.
Several smaller improvements were made to the port area, as well as a wide variety of updates and fixes.
Missions
We’ve also added a number of new missions, including the Portside Slide, Spearleaf Loop, Stolen Steel, and others on West Coast USA, Shipment Shunter on Industrial, Desert Driver on Utah, and Abseiling Fuel on Italy, among others.
The format of the vehicle setup module in missions has been updated - multiple preset vehicles can now be assigned and used for challenges. You will no longer be able to start a challenge on foot, and if you wish to use your own vehicle in a challenge, it will need to be repaired if damaged.
Improvements and Fixes
In gameplay changes, you will now be able to use the vehicle triggers for any vehicle without having to leave your current vehicle - for example, you can operate triggers on trailers without leaving the truck they are attached to.
We’ve also made fixes and improvements to a wide variety of vehicles including the Civetta Bolide, Gavril H-Series, ETK I-Series, Autobello Piccolina, Gavril Bluebuck, Cherrier Vivace, and the Gavril Roamer, among others.
The I keybind has been deprecated in favor of leaving only the R key in order to free up as many keys as possible. The Alt+R and Alt+Shift+R bindings have received the same treatment, in favor of leaving only F2 and Shift+F2.
For those of you who used the I key, you can reassign the old key, adapt to the new key, or use the more advanced Insert key. While it can be annoying to have to re-learn keybinds you have grown accustomed to, we hope you understand the need to free up duplicate keys.
AI will now have improved lane awareness and traffic path planning. The latter will now take into consideration the previous path traversed, in order to avoid taking a path that would have been the natural continuation of the previous one, such as when getting off and on again on a main road.
EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual Reality
The experimental VR mode is also getting some love in this update! We’ve added a new option to control the headset resolution, fixed several issues relating to headset and camera position, and fixed a VRAM memory leak when modifying graphics options. We’ve also revamped the VR section of the Options menu - it now shows help for possible errors when attempting to enable VR, as well as the VR system name.
Vehicle triggers like door handles and buttons can now be used with your VR controller from a small distance, instead of requiring your hand to be in direct contact with the trigger. We’ve changed the representation for this to a blue line per controller instead of the blue dots from previous versions. You can also now customize the vertical tilt of the VR controller pointer, if the default angle doesn’t feel natural to you.
NOTE:
While we continue to ship a number of fixes and optimizations for VR, please keep in mind that it's still an experimental feature.
You can check our VR documentation page for tips to improve stability and performance, and you can provide feedback and report issues in our dedicated VR forum thread.

For those of you who used the I key, you can reassign the old key, adapt to the new key, or use the more advanced Insert key. While it can be annoying to have to re-learn keybinds you have grown accustomed to, we hope you understand the need to free up duplicate keys.
AI will now have improved lane awareness and traffic path planning. The latter will now take into consideration the previous path traversed, in order to avoid taking a path that would have been the natural continuation of the previous one, such as when getting off and on again on a main road.
EXPERIMENTAL: Virtual Reality
The experimental VR mode is also getting some love in this update! We’ve added a new option to control the headset resolution, fixed several issues relating to headset and camera position, and fixed a VRAM memory leak when modifying graphics options. We’ve also revamped the VR section of the Options menu - it now shows help for possible errors when attempting to enable VR, as well as the VR system name.
Vehicle triggers like door handles and buttons can now be used with your VR controller from a small distance, instead of requiring your hand to be in direct contact with the trigger. We’ve changed the representation for this to a blue line per controller instead of the blue dots from previous versions. You can also now customize the vertical tilt of the VR controller pointer, if the default angle doesn’t feel natural to you.
NOTE:
While we continue to ship a number of fixes and optimizations for VR, please keep in mind that it's still an experimental feature.
You can check our VR documentation page for tips to improve stability and performance, and you can provide feedback and report issues in our dedicated VR forum thread.

Greetings, drivers!
As the landscapes transition to the mesmerizing autumn hues and a gentle breeze signals the approaching winter, it's time for transformation and renewal. Embracing the spirit of change that this season embodies, we're excited to unveil a heart-warming selection of new features and improvements. So let's dive in!
NEW VEHICLE: Hirochi Aurata
First on the list is the new addition to our vehicle lineup: the Hirochi Aurata.
This two-seater ‘Side by Side’ UTV was built for entry-level racing and recreation. It features a 3-cylinder engine with factory and aftermarket turbocharged variants, a continuously variable transmission, with selectable Four-Wheel-Drive and low-range box (also available with RWD conversion), and two new vehicle-specific wheel styles in two sizes, with tires to match. This model also comes with a full range of factory and custom configs, including off-road and track-ready specifications, a long travel suspension, and two different rollcage styles. Take this baby out for a spin, you won’t regret it!
NEW TRAILERS
Next up, we are adding two new trailers - the Tilt Deck Trailer and the Enclosed Cargo Trailer.
Introducing the Tilt Deck: outfitted with a hydraulic-activated deck, this trailer offers versatility with three length variations, several suspension configurations, and a choice of two tongue options. Designed for the demanding tasks, this heavy-duty trailer is tailored for robust tow vehicles in our lineup. It boasts a deck-over hydraulic tilt structure coupled with a load-balancing leaf spring suspension, making it perfect for transporting a variety of loads – from hay bales to off-road vehicles.
Meet the Enclosed Cargo Trailer: it comes with a secure fold-down ramp and an additional side door for easy access, offering peace of mind while on the road. Choose from a range of pre-configured loads and enjoy the customization flexibility with support for paint designs.
EXPANSION: West Coast, USA
But wait, there’s more! The West Coast, USA level is getting expanded with the addition of several new areas that will pave the way for a broader range of gameplay experiences.
Welcome to Spearleaf Island, accessible through an entirely new road network, boasting unique locations to explore and missions to tackle. The Refinery will serve as the starting point for a variety of missions, including police chases and different types of deliveries, to name a few. The Steel Factory, especially its underground area, is an intricately built environment ideal for racing aficionados.
The map also includes a new dealership, a dock area, and a movie studio lot, as well as an update to the fuel stations.
New Missions
We’ve added a number of new missions to the the available selection, including the Downtown Rush and Superhighway Sweep on West Coast USA, Mudslide Gladiator on Jungle Rock Island, and Small Island Sprint and Downhill Sweep on Small Island.
Additionally, all Time Trials that were previously only available from the Main Menu are now available as missions, and have been improved.
We’ve also added some new recovery options to missions. Many mission types will now allow you to flip your vehicle upright or recover back onto the road, without needing to restart the mission completely.
Gear Shifting Rework
We’ve heavily revamped how manual transmissions function under ‘Realistic Mode’. The main change which will be visible from the player's end in this first iteration, is that we are now taking into account how long the driver holds down the gear shift buttons. Previously, the gear shift buttons triggered a ‘user wants to shift’ event, but in the new version, we are measuring how long the buttons are held down, and use that information to determine how quickly the user wants to shift gears.
We have several reasons for this: First off, it allows for a much broader range of realistic manual transmissions. It also lays the groundwork for future improvements, and the new method is easier to capture into muscle memory. The change will also make it easier for us to simulate normal city driving as opposed to racing, and will bring an additional layer of realism to a wider range of vehicles - for example, it is not realistic to be able to shift a truck as quickly as a race car, and the new system will eventually reflect that. This has not been tuned on the individual level yet, but that’s what this change is preparing for.
The practical outcome of all this is that a brief press will now lead to a quick gear shift, while holding the buttons down longer will lead to a more relaxed shift. Attempting to shift faster than the transmission supports will lead to audible gear grinding noises and damage to the synchronizers. The same will apply to H-Shift vehicles - these don’t have classical buttons, but the time you need to physically move the lever is also measured and used.
NEW EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE: Virtual Reality
VR fans - rejoice: version 0.30 includes an early experimental version of VR support!
Any VR headset that supports the OpenXR standard (that is to say, almost any VR headset) should be compatible with BeamNG. The current version of VR support includes the following: The ability to toggle VR on or off at any point, the ability to choose snap-turn or smooth-turn in-cockpit camera as well as walking mode, and interactive 3D cockpit switches, door handles etc. (experimental- requires a VR controller). A customizable option will allow your hands to reach faraway objects more easily.
The VR feature will also include stereoscopic and position-aware mirror reflections, directional 3D audio, instant 180º direction change in walking mode when using lookback, support for both regular HMDs and non-HMDs, as long as the hardware supports the OpenXR standard. To use Windows Mixed Reality headsets, you will need to set SteamVR as your default OpenXR runtime to bypass the missing Vulkan support in WMR drivers. Check the patch notes for more details!
As you might suspect - VR places considerable demands on your computer's resources. Anticipate substantial hardware requirements and consider scaling back on the graphics detail, amount of traffic, and other settings to ensure a smoother experience.
Please note that this is still very much work-in-progress, should you encounter any issues or if you have feedback or questions, we welcome you in this forum thread.
NEW: Blender JBeam Editor
In addition to all of the above, we are also bringing you a Blender JBeam Editor! This new feature will allow modders to create JBeam parts from scratch, import existing parts, move, rename, add, and delete nodes, as well as export your changes directly to a JBeam file, with many more features planned.
Documentation for the plugin is already available here, and you can share your feedback in the dedicated forum thread.
Improvements and Fixes
Gas Stations and Electric Charging Stations now work across all levels! These facilities will now only fill your vehicle’s tank with the types of fuel available at the facility, and we’ve also improved the marker look and interaction logic.
This is just a sampler of all the adjustments included in this update - we’ve also made tweaks to the Autobello Piccolina, Civetta Scintilla, the ETK-I series, the Gavril Bluebuck, Bruckell Moonhawk, Ibushu Pigeon, Soliad Lansdale, among many others.
In the props lineup, we’ve done some tweaking on the Gate and Suspension Bridge props, added several new road sign variants, and reworked square hay bales to allow stacking.
And last, but not least, we’re sure you’ve noticed that we have done a bit of housekeeping when it comes to the version numbers. To future-proof our versioning and reduce possible confusion, this version will be known as Version 0.30.0, and all future updates will follow the same naming scheme. Please note that these are incremental number increases, not decimals.
Of course, that’s not even close to being all we’re bringing you in our latest update - the full list includes improvements to Input and Force Feedback, Lua fixes and features, tweaking and optimization of the UI, game engine, and much much more. Check out the patch notes for more details!

As the summer heats up, it's time to rev your engines and gear up for this blistering content drop!
As many of you already know, we've joined forces with none other than the legendary Gambler 500 to bring you this uniquely-themed adrenaline-fueled adventure. Get ready to discover a collection of exclusive vehicle configurations, all primed and ready to tackle over 20 daring gameplay challenges. But that's not all; we're also bringing a brand new vehicle to your virtual garage. So let's unpack the details!
For those still unfamiliar, allow us to introduce Gambler 500. Far from a typical motorsports event, it's a one-of-a-kind, off-road, navigational adventure that puts the spotlight on budget-friendly, fun, and often outright extraordinary automotive creations. During the rally, participants are encouraged to leave the wilderness in better shape than when they found it by picking up trash along the route, reflecting a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.
Our collaboration with Gambler 500 has been an epic journey that we're incredibly proud of, and we are truly grateful for their help and inspiration along the way. If you're up for more Gambler 500 action, check out their website here.
NEW VEHICLE: Soliad Lansdale
Welcome the latest addition to the BeamNG roster: the Soliad Lansdale. Built on an updated LeGran/Wendover platform and featuring tried-and-tested Bruckell powerplants enveloped in a smooth aerodynamic shell, the Lansdale will make your school-run journey that bit more efficient.
The Lansdale can be equipped with all-wheel drive, I4, V6, and V8 engines, and supports pre- and post-facelift bodywork with suitable factory, sport, and aftermarket variants for each. Even the European market isn't forgotten, with a handful of diesel-powered EUDM models. The van also features functional sliding doors, and brings a new set of wheels to the Soliad range.
From a stripped-back cargo mule to an overpowered super-van, from a glitzy 2000s tuner to a backwoods-built off-road beast, the Lansdale has something for everyone! Naturally, it’s also included in our new suite of “Gambler 500” configurations.
Gambler Galore
Of course this wouldn't be a true Gambler 500 experience without some appropriately rowdy machinery, so let's meet the contenders!
Ibishu Pigeon - Poogeon
Who doesn't love a wilderness adventure with friends - fresh air, sizzling steaks, and refreshing drinks? Alas, when nature calls in a facility-deprived landscape, problems may soon arise... After ending up in a such predicament, the author of this creation has firmly pledged to never let it repeat! With a rear axle from a truck, a powerful welded bed and a technologically advanced snorkel, this little companion is able to get to any mission-critical location.
Civetta Bolide - Iron Owl
Once burnt to a crisp, this Bolide was taken apart and reconstructed into a 6-wheel engineering marvel. Fitted with a drivetrain from the Bruckell LeGran Campagne, it channels that power to the four rear wheels for a truly unique driving experience.
Autobello Piccolina - La Brutta Anatra
This "ugly duckling" with an Italian flair owes its existence to an antique dealer's resourcefulness and ingenuity. This unorthodox blend of salvaged Piccolina parts, a charming Italian bathtub, and agricultural rear wheels is mounted atop an extended suspension from a classic dragster. Talk about Italian practicality! Now, you can haul vast amounts of garbage and enjoy a bath with rubber ducks after a hard day's work!
Ibishu Covet - The Unstable
This daring abomination's story began with a rear-ended Covet that lay rotting in a farmer's front yard next to a broken tractor. Of course, the only reasonable next step would be to merge the two. The Unstable's drivetrain incorporates an assortment of PTO shafts and 90 angle gearboxes from some old mowers, and a 1.8 engine from a retired Pessima to give it a slight chance of climbing at least something.
Ibishu Covet - The Incapable
Constructed by a friend of the abovementioned farmer, this truck is designed to accompany the half-tractor on its Gambler adventures. Lacking a spare tractor, the creator of The Incapable opted to simply weld the back of a trailer to the Covet shell instead.
Gavril Grand Marshal - Grand Scavenger
When confronted with a pile of rusted pipes, beams, and chains, what's a gearhead to do? Surely, install all of it on a Gavril and let it gracefully rust together with the car. Enhanced with thick metal bumpers and a perfectly engineered snorkel, it's capable of tackling the toughest challenges.
Soliad Wendover - Croco
Surrounded by rumbling vehicles and debris, sometimes it's so refreshing to see something green, alive... with a pair of eyes, a tail and a huge jaw! Its teeth may made of rubber bands, but it's no laughing matter when it bites.
Soliad Lansdale - Landslide
When its engine blew, this van's owners got big dreams of transforming it into a high-roof off-road camper. While the vision was exciting, it's proven to be expensive. What was not expensive, however, is cutting the roof out, adding an upside-down boat for extra headroom, and installing big tires. With its modifications completed, this little camper can go pretty much anywhere now.
Missions
Infusing the spirit of Gambler 500 events into our virtual world, we're adding a new mission type along with 25 new missions across several maps.
Through these missions you will embark on a journey to tidy up various landscapes, from forested areas and fields in East Coast, to beaches of Small Island, to the plains of Johnson Valley, and beyond. Each mission features a different vehicle, with its own driving behavior for you to master. But there's a catch - with more trash than your ride can handle, it's a race against the clock to scoop up as much as you can.
We hope that the new content will fuel your adventures throughout the summer. Meanwhile, the team continues pushing the pedal to the metal behind the scenes to ensure that the next update includes several major improvements and new features. We will return with more news shortly. Join us for a post-launch AMA in the dedicated discussion thread.

Spring has sprung, the birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and we've been buzzing with excitement to finally show you what we've been up to the past several months. So buckle up and don't forget your sunglasses 'cause it's gonna be blooming bright over here!
ETK Refresh
First up, the ETK is getting refreshed for the spring season! While not as comprehensive as our typical revamps, the team has dedicated significant effort to update key areas of both models. This ensures that they maintain their distinct identity while offering a more complete and engaging driving experience.
Throughout the development process, our primary focus has been on expanding the selection of available parts, which not only serves to give the vehicles a more unique and distinguishable feel across the board, but also to increase the variety of configurations available to drivers.
The lineup is getting a shiny new V8 engine with naturally aspirated and twin turbo options, as well as an overhaul of all other engines. Also included among other things are several new gauge options, interiors, and wheels.
We’ve updated all existing configurations with improved meshes and materials, and added several new ones to the revamped models. The ETK 800-series is getting a new sedan body style, as well as widebody ttSport models. There are several new engine options and skins, and a set of “Rennspecht” parts. The ETK K-series is getting much the same treatment, with new widebody ttSport models, a new “Turbo Rabbit” widebody kit, new engine options, skins, a modern race steering wheel, and “Rennspecht” parts.
Openable Doors
We’ve also added openable doors and panels to most vehicles, like the Bruckell Bastion, Autobello Piccolina, and Gavril Grand Marshal, among others – check the patch notes for a full list, or experiment and find out for yourself!
IMPORTANT: We've resolved a problem related to manual transmissions and how they respond to clutch input!
Previously, even if the clutch assist feature was turned off and players expected full control over the clutch, this was not the case. Shifting gears only required a brief clutch input, resulting in perfect clutch timing every time, which is unrealistic. This issue has now been addressed, which is excellent news, however it also means that players will need to adapt to the new clutch behavior, as shifts may feel slower due to the removal of the unintended "God Mode." Despite this, actual shift times remain the same or may even be faster due to other improvements and changes.
Automation Test Track Renovation
On the levels side, we are happy to report that Automation Test Track has received a fresh coat of paint. We've updated and added detail to the buildings and various structures, revamped vegetation, and updated terrain and asset materials to PBR, bringing Automation Test Track in line with other maps.
Additionally, Johnson Valley now offers several new trails to explore. Many smaller issues were fixed, and improvements made to Utah, the Garage, Italy, and the Gridmap (v2) map.
Prototype – Stats Tracking
We’re adding a Stats tracking system that will track how long you’ve spent on a given map or driven a particular vehicle. It will also support tracking rollovers and j-turns. Please note that this is still very much work in progress and the system will be improved and expanded in future updates.
Missions
With this update to the game the missions team has introduced several changes and improvements to the system. There are 18 new missions available across different maps, including Automation Test Track, East Coast, Johnson Valley, and Italy. Players now have the ability to enable the automatic recording of mission attempts, although this feature may impact performance. The Missions backend code has also been improved and cleaned up, allowing custom placement of police vehicles at the start of Evade missions. Moreover, ground markers can now be customized for several mission types.
User Interface
On the UI side of things, the Overview Map is getting some polish in this update. The player icon has been updated to an arrow that indicates the vehicle direction, and players can now skip the transition animation by pressing the map button again. To improve the selection process, the POI merge range has been adjusted and the visible distance increased to address artifacting in some maps. Additionally, the camera speed and gamepad controls have been fine-tuned, Parts Manager has been updated with new icons and consistent layout, and we have resolved issues related to translation system, among other various smaller UI bug fixes.
Mod users will be delighted to know that we have included an ability to spawn modded vehicles in the garage mode.
Last but not least, we’ve added a new tool on the bottom of the Repository – Mod Manager tab. It’s called “List possibly broken mods’ and if you guessed that it does its best to figure out which mods are conflicting with either the game itself or other mods, have a gold star! For regular players, this feature should help narrow down the search for which enabled mod may be breaking the game after updates, or when installed alongside other mods. For modders, it can help figure out which specific file in a mod is causing problems with the base game, or with files from other enabled mods. The more files a particular mod overwrites, the easier it is for a mod to cause conflict after game updates or when other mods are installed.
And more!
As if all that’s not enough, we’ve given some love to the powertrain settings, fixed several controller issues and implemented support for Logitech Trueforce effects with supported Logitech wheels among other input fixes and features. Game audio also received a handful of improvements, including several new sounds to add more realism. Likewise, game engine and traffic code received various optimizations.
Though this update may appear rather compact compared to the mammoth that was v0.27, we wanted to highlight that it also comes packed with foundational behind-the-scenes efforts that will pave the way for future improvements.
