Many who have been on YouTube in the past will recognize BeamNG Drive. For the uninitiated it is a physics based game that simulates how materials deform in crashes. Along with material deformation it can be used to simulate different gravity levels. The Action Lab YouTube channel decided to try out how different gravitational forces from other planets and bodies in space affect driving dynamics.
Action lab setup a controlled course to test various gravity levels utilizing the same car in all of the simulations. Unsurprisingly Earth’s gravity came first. A trial run of the course provided predictable results. Traction was relatively average and after a fair amount of hangtime from a jump, the truck was completely obliterated on impact.
Next came testing opposite ends of the spectrum with the Moon’s gravity and Jupiter’s gravity. Coming off the jump with Moon gravity provided hilarious results. The truck stayed in the air for an eternity and…
