Oh, and by the way, if by some miracle, you still don't own one of the 175 million GTA V copies already sold to this date, it's now 15 dollars. There has never been something remotely like this phenomenon in the history of video games, which can only make me wonder how unimaginably ginormous GTA VI's impact on the market will be. I'm not ranting or anything, it's just that I find it extremely funny how a 10-year-old game spanning over 3 generations of consoles manages to cross over into other territories and steals the 'little guy's' thunder. You feel like going on Twitter for whatever reason? Awesome, but then Tom Henderson, a famous leaker, tweets about GTA VI being allegedly delayed until 2025, even though plans for a 2024 launch window have been made since 2021.Īnd now, you can't even go to a simple racing category on Steam's Spring Sale page without seeing GTA V as an 'automobile sim,' sitting pretty as the second most sold driving game from the entire page. You wanna talk about TV shows? Great, but then '50 Cent' posts a GTA Vice City image, and the Internet blows up with GTA VI conspiracy theories. Some other issues people have brought up like beamng's size limit aren't really relevant here assuming you're just porting the model, since you wouldn't use beamng terrain for that.Lately, it seems that you can't talk about almost anything from the entertainment industry without something GTA-related creeping up during the conversation. If you want to get a sense of scale, every single object that can be knocked over with a car is it's own object so you would need to find it's model (most likely shared with another but doesn't make it much easier) and get it's coordinates to enter into blender or the world editor depending on where you're arranging it all. if you want to do the full thing this also assumes beamng has no limit on the number of objects and that even with full lods the game will be able to run it reasonably.

This means that for every one of the hundreds of thousands of props, you need to convert it, it's textures, it's lods, write up a beanng materials file for it and then get it's coordinates from the gta map and into the beamng world editor. The map itself is comprises of hundreds of thousands of models, every single one of which, in it's model, is centred.

I've been looking into porting it for a while but the full thing will literally never happen
