Update Speculation thread

I wonder if we will ever see an earlier predecessor to the ETK 800? say something like the E46 or E36 3 series, maybe as a coupe.

 

Something like this?

 

Yeah but a bit smaller. The 2400i is more along the lines of a 5 series while the 800 is closer to the 3 series at least that's how I see it.


Something like the old school M3s would be cool.

 

"Plans but no confirmation"

I'm not actually sure what that means. They want to but might not go through with it?

 

Often there are many plans, but also sometimes plans get scrapped, that is quite universal situation with almost anything.

 

i noticed that the esbr logo is highlighted in blue

 

Erm... this is update speculation thread, not update observation thread

 

That's a nice detail, but what exactly does it hint at?

 

Does anyone have news on the old map improvements?

 

Nothing new I'm afraid.

 

my game is updating for some reason... already got the nivda fix

 

First hotfix for 0.16 released

 

Apparently, this wheel (the Ibishu AeroTec 16x7) got released in 0.16. It looks fairly modern, especially for an Ibishu wheel, and typically whenever we've had wheels like this appear in the game (Miramar and Autobello), the cars have appeared within a couple updates. I'm not sure what kind of car this would correlate to, but I reckon it's fairly sporty/"sportified".

 

Are those inserts on the outer barrel painted on?

 

Are you sure it's not a mod?

I can't find it anywhere....

 

Second this; I know someone's config pack adds a sports version of the newer Pessima called "Aero-Tec".

 

This looks like a modded ETK Aero5 wheel!
I don't have it, so it's a mod!

 

Is it just me or could the new fire station in Italy hint at an official fire truck in the future?

Also, remember the model for a mattress prop that was found in the game's files? That could be part for an update with a fire truck, because the mattress could be used for saving people from heights incase of a fire in the building.

 

A dedicated fire truck would be such a low return on investment, which would be a bad idea with the game getting closer to having a career mode. It is possible we will see fire department vehicles other than ladder trucks, especially if we get a medium duty truck in game.

While we are discussing it, are European fire stations normally that big? That station dwarfs even the biggest ones in my area.

 

I maintain that a low-cab-forward cabover truck like the 1957-1990 Ford C-series (Yes - that model lasted 33 years with only very subtle changes), would provide the development team much flexibility in career mode. They were used for everything from ladder trucks to urban delivery to garbage collection:
