: This version represents the transition from Rigs of Rods to a dedicated engine. It proved that real-time, high-fidelity soft-body physics—where vehicles crumple based on structural nodes and beams rather than pre-baked animations—was possible on consumer hardware.
It wasn't a version number. Not really. v01001 was the internal codename for the project he’d buried three years ago. Project Cipher. A physics model so granular, so maddeningly precise, that it could simulate not just a car crashing, but the sound of a single bolt shearing inside the steering column.
New 2D/3D ambient sounds, dynamic reverb in tunnels, and more realistic tire screeching. New Parts:
BeamNG.drive version , released on August 17, 2017, was a critical hotfix titled "Safe and Sound"
Refined assets, fixing floating objects and invisible walls that hindered navigation.
