BeamFR v1.5 — First Response

BeamFR v1.5 is a smaller but meatier update ahead of the big 2.0. Police roleplay in BeamNG: pull traffic over, check documents, run a breath test, do a drug wipe, search the vehicle, write tickets, and build your career. Built for BeamNG.drive 0.39.

Compact service pistol

A new sidearm for first-person patrol: draw, aim and fire. Aim at a detained driver to order them out of the vehicle; they surrender or flee. Holster and reload animations, 3D weapon model, plus a dispatch call and on-screen subtitle when you pull your weapon (“get out of the vehicle”).

Breathalyser and drug wipe together

Two new roadside tools, tied directly into traffic stops:

Breathalyser: handheld unit with blow animation, BAC readout, pass/fail tones, result goes straight into the ticket.

Drug wipe: lateral-flow test with control and test lines, positive or negative result, also written into the ticket.

Both are used at the window during a stop: check first, then write the ticket on the MDT.

Voices and radio

Dispatch voices on the key moments to push the roleplay further. Going on duty, traffic stops, pursuits, arrests and similar situations come with radio audio and on-screen subtitles so you do not miss anything. The speed radar gives a separate alert when a plate is locked over the limit; the breathalyser and drug wipe have their own device tones (pass/fail) with visual feedback as well.

Animations and fixes

The UI picked up a few animations: it felt flat before, and now things like the chat window are much smoother.

One fix worth calling out: after you stopped someone, the car could drop into reverse and burn the clutch without actually stopping... that is sorted now.

What the demo got (v1.5)

BeamFR - First Response DEMO was updated too:

• Radio voices: dispatch audio + subtitles when you check in and out of service
• MDT boot animation on the onboard computer
• Speed radar: audio alert when someone is clocked over the limit

The demo still has no traffic stops, sidearm, breathalyser, drug wipe, search or ticket writing; just the patrol toolkit so you can try the mod before buying.

Price

The price has not changed. If you already bought the mod, you can download the new version for free via email or through your Ko-fi account.
