Update Speculation thread

It looks more like 200BX Street Tuned.

 

Anyone notice some new UI apps? Theres police, radio, and something else. They dont have thumbnail images for them.

 

i noticed the radio but not the police app
probably we can add our own music to the game in the future

 

Did I hear radio

 

well, indeed

 

They modelled hinges for the clamshell hood of the Wendover, so there's a chance this could also be done for the retractable roof (whether it's a soft top or a hardtop) of the convertible K-Series.

This would be a great idea but, for the car to make sense as an in-lore Eldorado representative, it must be FWD (which the Moonhawk isn't and it also is no luxury car deep down in its roots, so it's not the best basis for this idea). After all, we have no FWD car with its engine mounted longitudinally.

Apart from this idea, Soliad can also fill in the FWD Full-Size American Luxury Sedan in-lore niche, for making a competitor to the Gavril Grand Marshal (and its more upscale Burnside variant that, hopefully, will be brought with the second phase of the car's remastering). I actually wrote my idea down in the Vehicle Suggestions thread and its name is the Soliad Senator!

P.S.: Strangely enough, a platform like this has great potential!

Yep, the Sunburst is in a dire need of a remastering and it also needs the Flat engines to define the character of it and the whole Hirochi brand within the BeamNG lore.

 

sunburst isnt that bad

 

I would say the Sunburst is the vehicle in most dire need of remastering.

The rear doors aren't even textured on the interior. Still unsure how that has gone so many years without being fixed.

 

rear doors arent textured?

they are probably leaving the cars that need a remaster last for bigger hype maybe

Could the ultrasonic sensors make it into the main game ? That would be cool, especially now that Angelo123 is part of the dev team.

 

If the devs want to play with automated parking / parking assistance (beep beep BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) then it probably wouldn't be out of the question, but it'd be a pretty niche thing

 

Plus, after the introduction of the FCVs, the Sunburst is not all that special anymore. We already have plenty of FWD/FWD-based vehicles with transverse I4s in the game.

 

depressed moonhawk and burnside noises

 

Is there coming any improvements to tires?
1. It would be cool to see how worn your tires are.
2. It would be nice to see statistics of the tires to see how good they are for example offroad, racing, daily driving etc.

 

scratches are coming i think

 

Source? Or did you make this up based on no evidence?

 

I always thought that the TTsport 800-series didn't seem right. The I-series TTsports are rockets for their era, and the K-series with the same engine doesn't have a TTsport badge, so it seems to me that the current TTsport should just be a standard (8X6tt?) variant with a more powerful 400-500hp 6 or maybe even 8 cylinder TTsport model.

 

Yep, the 3.0 I6 is amazing (especially with the Stage-1 Turbocharger) but a Twin-Turbo V8 will really get the modern ETK twins up a notch. Plus, as I've already said, this engine can be a 4.0l unit made of two modern ETK 2.0l Turbocharged I4s around the same crankshaft (just like the 1.5 turbocharged gas and diesel I3s I also proposed for the lower end are made by splitting the 3.0 I6 block into half), for bringing the current German "Lego" way of engine production in the BeamNG lore.
The mid-cycle refresh is also a great option for both modern ETKs because Germans usually refresh their cars at 3-3.5 years.
More bodies for the 800, like a Sedan, are also needed because the modern German Sports Sedan niche is missing from the lore, while a Convertible for the K-Series is also filling in the modern 2-seater Roadster niche.
I'd also like the fender vents on the K-Series to be functional because they would complete the purpose of the air curtains on the widebody front bumper we saw on Tuesday.
The widebody rear bumper looks great too but the rear wing is amazing!

 

would be cool if they would add Nomi aftermarket gauges and a half rollcage
would make sense when they are already remastering the covet for the street tuned config or maybe the beam equivalent of an Wangan racer of the 90s

 

I mean, the ETKs don't have many configs, the 200BX really lacks content for a 90s Japanese sports, the Moonhawk doesn't even have a front grille... i think the Sunburst doesn't have absolute priority
