Graphics Options
Configure your graphical options in the options menu before playing. We recommend keeping Mesh Quality and Lighting Quality at Normal for most computers. You can bring up the options with CTRL + O at any time. Anisotropic Filtering can be increased to 16X with little noticeable performance impact.
Controls
- For a complete list of controls, see Controls.
BeamNG currently supports driving with the keyboard or with an analog controller. Keyboard driving is not recommended, due to less control of the vehicles.
There is no setup required for using most major controllers - just plug it in and start the game.

Configuring your own controller
There are several ways to set up new bindings in BeamNG.Drive. This is the simplest way:
1. Plug in your controller and start up BeamNG
2. Go to the "Controllers" menu.
3. Use the controller's button/axis/key you want to assign. If it's unassigned, a green highlight will appear with the new binding details.
4. Click "Choose action" on the top-left of screen, then click on the desired action.
5. Click the "Save" button to write the new binding to disk.
