The best mods for BeamNG.drive – for maps, planes, Russian and foreign cars

Below we will explain in detail how to install changes on BeamNG.drive. And then we present 15 mods for iconic Russian cars, World War II planes, as well as unusual maps with race tracks and picturesque locations from around the world.

In rare cases, the installation is done in a different way. For example, when a mod edits an existing car and does not add a new one. Next, the contents of the archive must be extracted into a folder vehicles or levels (in the case of a card). We will indicate this in the comments to the mod if necessary.

The tweak adds a large and well-designed Utah-style US map to BeamNG.drive. In the vast mountain desert, the author has placed many unusual tracks for testing cars. There are tracks for drifting and karting, high-speed tracks, mud pits, off-road and jumps. And for easy movement, a teleport to different points has been added. In short, all the conditions for breaking into any car.

In real life, you can’t accelerate on every track for fun and just ride with the wind. That’s why the author of the Mount Coot-tha mod added a road to the game near his home in Australia. No more cyclists on the side of the road, no more cops behind the bushes, no more speed limits. Just 10 kilometers of scenic mountain road surrounded by dense forest.

The change adds one of the largest and most detailed maps in the game: a copy of Roan County, Tennessee. 60 square kilometers of rugged terrain with cities, highways, working traffic lights and signs. The map is still periodically updated, the quality of the image is adjusted, cities are completed and artificial intelligence is completed.

The American Road map, as the name implies, adds more than a hundred kilometers of different American roads to the game, organically integrated into the beautiful landscape. Regular highways, dirt rally roads, mountain trails, swampy terrain and even a separate race track. In short, almost every real road that can be found in the United States.

Here’s a map with an emphasis on dangerous mountain roads, which are surrounded by cliffs and high ledges. Ideal for off-road or rally racing. The author deliberately almost does not use obstacles and barriers so that you can effectively fly off the track at high speed. In addition, special ledges have been added on particularly high turns for jumping directly off a cliff.

The change adds BeamNG.drive to one of the most customizable cars based on the Ford Focus – Gavril Vertex NA2. 1300 tuning parts, 10 engines to choose from and 53 custom skins. Looks like it already sounds impressive. But the author did not stop there and implemented opening doors, lighting, an interactive salon and deep engine tuning. Now you can build a car yourself and turn it into a racing car or a “black lightning” with wings.

Ibishu JBX100 is a new car in BeamNG.drive based on 200bx. The mod is very similar to the old JDM D1 Pessima but puts a lot of emphasis on customization and drifting. The author increased the wheelbase and redesigned the front suspension, so that the car now shows itself perfectly when cornering. In addition, he has made many additional body kits, so that you can change the appearance of the car.

To install this mod you have to go the non-standard way and drop the folder vehicles on the way from the archive C:\Users\User\Documents\BeamNG.drive\vehicles. For the mod to work, you need an additional modification “Wheel block D-Troxx”.

The adaptation adds to the game a German car inspired by the iconic Volkswagen Golf. 30 preconfigured configurations, many customization options and exterior changes, plus two body styles: EU/USDM Hatchback and Convertible. The only significant minus of the mod is that the doors of the car do not open.

The author of the mod was very impressed with the 1958 Datsun 1000 L210/L220 and decided to port it almost 1:1 to BeamNG.drive. The mod includes not only the car itself, but also many configurations to choose from: two-door convertibles, four-door sedans, trucks and pickups. In addition, the author added 3 color palettes for the body, interior and convertible top. What can we say about the detailed study of the interior with the help of luxurious decorative elements of that time.

And the last of the car mods is the VAZ-2101, loved by many. In other words – “Zhiguli” release from 1979. Probably one of the best examples of a Russian car in BeamNG.drive. The author added six ready-made configurations, worked out the model in detail, made the interior and interchangeable body colors. In addition, the machine has realistic parameters that can be adjusted.

BeamNG.drive is missing an interesting and working flying vehicle. So it’s time to introduce you to the Me262 fighter, which took part in the Second World War. The author of the mod added five different aircraft configurations with active weapons and well-developed destruction physics. The kit comes with many skins, a jet engine simulation and an animation of the pilot in the cockpit.

How can you crash cars without a trusted assistant? The Crash Test Dummy mod adds a full-fledged human dummy to BeamNG.drive. Weight of 75 kilograms, movable limbs and no FPS shooting – what could be better to test under different conditions.

A small modification adds to the game an old car Toyota 7, specially designed for racing races. If you are a fan of classic Japanese racing cars then this mod will appeal to you. Unfortunately, the author only rolled out one machine configuration. But with a few nice bonuses: the steering wheel rotates on the model and the game world is reflected in the mirrors.

In front of you is a well-designed old man, who can still sometimes be found on the Russian streets. LAZ-4202 is a middle-class city bus, which was released in the 70s of the last century. The modification adds five detailed bus configurations with a well-designed interior and exterior. Includes dashboard animation, custom paint job, working mirrors and headlights.

Rounding out our pick of the best mods for BeamNG.drive is an old three-wheeled truck straight from Japan. The author of the mod created only two configurations: with and without an open body, and also added working lights and mirrors. It turned out to be a small, pleasant to drive and in some ways just a fun car that will dilute your gray everyday life.

If a change causes delays, freezes or other problems, there could be three reasons:

These problems have only two solutions. The first is to clear the game cache. To do this, deactivate the changes, clear the cache and check for bugs. Important: check without taking mods back.

The second option is a bit more complicated: check if the problem is in Safe Mode. To do this, use the instructions written by the developers of BeamNG.drive themselves.

If you are looking for a new gaming experience or just want to diversify it, then mods are the best option. And for BeamNG.drive, there are just countless of them. Every day the community releases new add-ons for cars, racetracks, airplanes and so on.

We hope that this list of the best mods for BeamNG.drive managed to surprise you with something. And if not, then it’s time to tell about your favorite modifications in the comments.
