BeamNG Drive 'Multiplayer' (Multiple Controllers)

[NPSTR107]

As BeamNG Drive is further expanding, I was wandering if somebody could make a mod to enable dual controller support? Not necessarily 'multiplayer', but 2 controllers being used on one PC.

Reason being is that if you are directing crashes, you have to control one car, and get the AI to control the other, as we know how good AI is, I think you understand my point...

 

So, if there was dual controller support, (and possibly 2 cameras used like a split-screen) I believe that would be fantastic, especially for all the other BeamNG YouTuber's out there.

Personally I'd love to see more split-screen games, because it's great when you have friends that don't have PC's good enough to run these titles.

 

I know that in the future, near or far, BeamNG is planning to add online multiplayer to this game, but I'd be great to also have a split-screen mode.

 

 

So the question is: Is a split-screen mod possible?

(Ironically i'm playing beamng while looking at this post xD)

 

#1: Beamng already has multiplayer controllers support. And they don't even need to be controllers. You could have a Keyboard and Mouse for player 1, A xbox controller for player 2 and a wheel and pedal set up for player 3. I believe you need to enable "Multiseat Session" in the gameplay options.

 

#2: Split-Screen is something they should definitely look into.

 

#3: Over LAN mulitplayer would be too information intensive, As it would need to know every little thing that is happening on every node like its speed, friction, what it is, and the damage it has delt. Each car has a lot of nodes as well. BUT It COULD be possible... Could be...

It's nearly been a year, and still no split screen option. At least they've worked on the sound engine.
