BeamNG Datalogger 2.0?
Got a little sidetracked while working on the Chevy and ended up diving back into one of my other passion projects 😅
Unlike my original data logger UI app—which stored everything locally inside BeamNG’s UI system and limited how much data (and what kind) I could record—this new data logger is Lua-based. That means, in theory, I can grab any data I want and log it for as long as I want, since it’s just writing to an external data log file.
The image you’re seeing is from a separate application I’m building to read and visualize that data completely outside of BeamNG itself. No UI limitations, no data caps—just raw, beautiful telemetry.
Super neat.
Super nerdy.
Not sure how many of y’all are into this kind of stuff… but I absolutely am 🤓
PS: Shock travel data is on here, and it is great.
Probably will release this between now and the Truck :)

Is it’s available yet
I was saying to myself the other day how much I would love to have something like this!
when your going to release this
I'm STOKED for this. I've been wanting a datalogger in beam for years!
So is it available now for this
Def need this
Hell yeah!
Yes! Been wanting to see something like this for a long time! Can’t wait to use it!
What's crazy is through BeamNg.tech there is built in data logger in the game but it logs absolutely everything from every node position to lidar scans of the world and everything it's bonkers but way more data then needed for this kind of stuff , mine is already gonna have an abundance of data and I'm excited
damn bro, I´m extremely hyped on this one
As an electromechanical engineer and an avid drag racing enthusiast your work is very impressive. I would like to better understand the work you do behind the scenes to make mods and features this great
It's just a combination of the nerd in me, my limited knowledge and the tools I have at my disposal I love tinkering and doing other cool stuff cause this game I've found has no limit on what you could do 😂 I even made a UI app recently for a buddy that takes his 4 link mod and puts an on screen 4 link visualizer for settings instantly center and yeah it's lovely
Absolutely amazing! When we spoke on discord I didn't realize it saved a file to view outside the game itself! Perfect for looking back at runs outside beam! Love it!! Keep up the great work
Yes! It creates a .json for each log, I have an adjustable polling rate up to game engine refresh rate of course and I plan on adding some performance metrics built into the application so you can see 60 foot times and all that plus the ability to overlay one pass with another and look back at old passes :) I could even track the position of the car in the world and make it do a top down view of its position and if you raced a circuit you could watch the vehicle draw a line of the outline to the track! Really nerdy not sure how useful It really will be given beam is a trial and error game since mistakes don't really matter 😂
Can’t wait to see this finished
I love it 😂 plus being able to have the data logger on a seperate screen is nice 🙂 I'll always love my og dats logger cause it felt impossible to me and yet it worked so good
Sick!
