The best BeamNG tools to start with

What to keep in mind
- UI apps and 0.40: 0.40 removed the v-bng-panel directive, so some older apps may not show up until their author updates them.
- Where they appear: almost all of them are added from the UI editor (UI Apps) in freeroam; others, like Radial Blur, are configured in the Mods menu.
- BeamMP: you need a legal, up-to-date copy of the game; if the server uses mods, BeamMP downloads them on its own.
- Less is more: BeamNG doesn't recommend having more than 20 or 30 mods active at once. If something breaks, try Safe Mode and clear the cache.
