Guide to creating a simplified vehicle model

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of beamNG vehicle modding is necessary. Theoretically all you need is a text editor, but VS code and blender 3.6 with the new jbeam addon for it makes things much easier. Alternatively, use the text editor and jbeam tool of your choice.

Personally, i use Github Desktop to make updating to this repo easy, but file managment on your PC is up to you.

You can start with either the bastion for rwd or wendover for fwd

I recommend using bastion or wendover from this repo, since they are already trimmed down to the minimal parts necessary.

I will use vehicle as a placeholder for the vehicle name

File preparation

Put the copied files into a new folder, following the common scheme for beamNG, then further into a simple_traffic folder

vehicles/vehicle/simple_traffic for example

Rename the files with the name of your car. Open them all, batch rename wendover to vehicle for example, over all four files.

Feel free to also batch-rename the author field with your own name, exhcanging O1LER with your own. To give credit where its due, i left synsol in there.
