Operable interior

Hello there,
i was wondering if BeamNG Drive plans to malke operable interior, like working radios, air Conditioners, windscreen wipers, navigationsysthems etc. I think it would make BeamNG Drive much more extensive.
What is your opinion about this?

 

Working radios would be cool, i think there was a problem about copyright if people played copyrighted music in-game but even gabester music would be good enough.
air conditioners, what purpose would they serve ?
Windscreen wipers would be hard to make, as they would need to not clip on the windshield, and anyways they won't serve a purpose as long as rain isn't implemented.
navigation systems already exist, take a look at the Vivace.

 

Good idea. But we have the last

 

They should add a radio folder where the music is stored with some deafult music with no copyright.(and you can put your own music in)

 

Air conditioning, would be cool to simulate extra load on the engine, but then, we do need a proper electric system implementation first, windscreen wipers would be useful if the game ever got a weather update

 

The only point in having a radio feature is if the speakers were simulated on each car, otherwise it’s no different that playing Spotify

 

It's possible, like having sound/speaker nodes at each corner of the door, or where speakers are present in the car .

Not a priority of the Dev's right now, but, it'll probably come sometime in the future, (unless skilled modders get to it first )

 

They would need to vary in quality as well depending on the car

 

It would still be a cool feature, especially on cars that have radio displays like the 200bx or screens like the vivace since the name of the song could be shown.

 

It would. Spotify integration would be amazing too, you can make a virtual Spotify connect point in-game and then you can just play music to the car through your computer or phone.

 

Yes AC would be unnecessary but still kinda cool, and of course, there should only be windscreen wipers when the weather is added (I hope that comes soon). With the navigation devices, it would be great if you could operate them, but I think that would require far too much performance . But radios would be a very cool thing but only if like P_enta said that the speakers are simulatet on the cars but i thing that would be possible.

 

and in future if we get openable doors in the vanilla game, we could have door handle animations from the inside and outside!

 

Maybe not, what it would need is a code to detect the input, it would take time more than performance i think.

 

usually what happens is the devs let other features that are really cool but low priority get made by the community, like the openable mod. Instead of incorporating them into vanilla they just let it continue being a mod.

We already have the GPS system in the game, it just needs to be displayed on the map.

 

I think he was talking about clickin gon the display and going through different menus. I've seen that in an AC mod, it was a 720s IIRC.

 

Cool but like always some small problem will make this a shit (no)

 

Oh I suppose

 

what on earth would a working air conditioner do in this game

 

AC could simulate load on the engine
