How to drive BeamNG.drive with your phone as the wheel

In the BeamNG layout, Restart is a big, easy to reach button, so you can reset your car quickly after a crash. Setup takes about a minute.

The quick version of how the sliders work.

Here is what using it looks like

  1. Install QR Controller from Steam and open it.
  2. Set Controller Type to the BeamNG.drive layout. The variant with the throttle and brake slider is named Sliders.
  3. Point your phone camera at the QR code. The controller opens in the browser, and BeamNG sees it as a normal gamepad.
  4. For motion steering, open the controller in the free companion app, or switch to Via Internet and scan again.
  5. Tap Enable Motion Control, hold the phone like a wheel, and go drive!

What's on the phone

Throttle and brake sit on one slider. Push up to go, pull down to stop, and there's a small vibration at the neutral point so you can find it without looking. Also mapped: Shift Up, Shift Down, EBreak, Change Camera, Rewind, and a MiniMap button.

Tilt to steer, and Restart is right there when you need it!
