Mod I put the entire Earth 1:1 into BeamNG
Hello car game enjoyers. I have been working on a mod that takes map data from various free online sources and streams it directly into BeamNG in real time. I use LODβs to generate the terrain as far as you would see in real life with decent performance and the mod will periodically reset the map and your position to the world origin to keep things stable. Iβm also pulling real weather data from wherever you are and it copies the clouds, rain, temp, wind, etc. You can also get the current time for the part of the world your in. Iβm even simulating the Earths curvature and the subtle changes in gravity as you to go different parts of the world. The mod is still very much work in progress and Iβm constantly updating it. It requires a companion server to download and generate the world. You can try it out for yourself but be warned this is very much still a work in progress and there are many bugs to be fixed and features that still need to be added try and count how many bugs you can find in the video. If you do decide to test it out please tell me your thoughts, questions, ideas, features I should add, or any bugs you find. You can DM me on Reddit or discord "TecnaGamer" or leave a comment on this post or submit an issue on GitHub.
The mod is and always free and open source.
I Cut and sped up the video for time.

Download the .exe (Windows) or .AppImage (Linux) and ruin it. It installs the mod and launches BeamNG and the server. Then go to freeroam and Freeroam -> BeamNG.Earth
