New Ibishu BX derivations, including a drift monster, plus expanded Gavril T-Series options sit alongside updates to the West Coast area and a cinematic crash camera.

TikTok accounts of the world rejoice – there's a new BeamNG update that adds a new slow-motion crash camera, a damage-inflicting steel coil and a V8 coupe that can drift. Put all of those together in one snappy clip and you should hit algorithmic gold.
Outside of the video-based social media platform, the simulation sandbox continues its gradual evolution with exacting attention-to-detail-enhancing changes.
Version 0.32 has been released for PC players today, 16th April 2024, with vehicle, environment and force feedback improvements. As ever, the full changelog is so long you could install the game afresh before finishing reading it, so here are the abbreviated highlights.
The Bremen-based outfit has been at it again with another vehicle remaster – this time the Ibishu BX.
Naturally, there is enhanced model detail, but whenever BeamNG GmbH does a remaster, it also adds extra variety. So, alongside the fastback body style, there’s now a more traditional coupe design. The option of fixed headlights exists now too, alongside pop-ups, and there a V8-swap options plus even left or right-hand drive layouts.
This was seen in the recent drifting teaser as one of the many now-possible specifications.
The remake of the large Gavril T-Series truck that began in December’s 0.31 update continues in 0.32.
Now you can add logs to the rear, for two different frames, and a pneumatic suspension levelling system has been added. Customisation options have been expanded upon for both cosmetics and 900CUI Belasco engine performance.
In the prop department – to create YouTube-worthy crash clips predominately – alongside logs is a steel coil. As this is BeamNG we are covering, one coil is not enough, so there are four different weights. As evidenced in the update’s trailer, these make a mess of any passing-by vehicle should it fly off the bed...
Pretty straightforward, this. Once enabled within the settings, this will automatically capture crashes in gratuitous slow motion.
The West Coast, USA environment has also received an up-lift, with extra materials added to the implemented PBR, added speed cameras and reworked junctions.
Particular attention has been paid to the Cement Batch Factory, Quarry and Fast Automotive facility.
Five new missions are now present: 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 US.
To go alongside the V8 Ibishu BX, the process of drifting is now said to be detected earlier, purportedly making “chaining drifts significantly easier,” according to the development team.
Among the changes are force feedback refinements and rear-view mirrors. All cars now have ‘detailed mirror support’, and some modern vehicles' mirrors will initially fold first before breaking. The FFB tweaking claims to provide more detailed responses to help catch a small slide or avoid tank slappers, while holistically default settings for Moza devices have changed.
There are even more changes, which you can find on the BeamNG website. Let us know in the comments below which of these additions you’ve enjoyed the most, or via X: @OverTake_gg.
