Update Speculation thread

Even if this remaster will probably destroy my etk V8 mod, im really happy of this remaster and I would enjoy so much to have a nice german official V8 in the etk 800/k series platform. And if not I'll definitely update my mod to make it compatible.

 

The Moonhawk has two front grilles, it's just that they're a little bit different and they're also part of the large front fasciae parts.

 

Q&A tdev best evidence there is Lol

 

He said something related to it, it could only be a part of the code needed to have them functional for example.

 

Hadn't really noticed that, tbh. So yes, it has to be remodelled applying the latest corrections we saw in the recent Major Update and it's Hotfixes.

 

Tbf the Sunburst doesn't have a front grille either, but I do see your point.

 

I think the explody doors on the Scintilla might be a precursor to deployable roll-hoops for convertibles. If the K-Series gets remastered it could get a convertible with them.

 

Good thinking, this is plausible imo

 

That's exactly what I was thinking although deployable roll-over hoops make more sense in 4-seater convertibles than the 2-seater ones. The 2-seaters can also get by with fixed hoops and most of these actually do get by with them.
We'll wait for the K-Series remastering and see.

 

I think I'm seeing something of a Sunburst vs. Moonhawk schism developing here in terms of which car ought to be next on deck for a remaster. Before this goes any further, let's remember that the Moonhawk is the older of the two, and the one that received a new component in the last major update (the retconned 1973-1975 rear fascia). Based on that, I'd say that the Moonhawk seems to be the vehicle that the dev team is planning reworks for next.

The Sunburst is probably not too far behind - though let's not forget about the Miramar either!

 

Personally I feel that the oldest one in the list should be remastered first as it's the oldest in terms of technology.

 

I think the Burnside Special needs a remaster too.

 

Remasters haven't been in age order so far, not sure why it would be any different now

 

I hope that this Tuesday will be a teaser Tuesday and I guess the next one (whenever next teaser tuesday is)will be about the covet again. But I would really like to see more about the etk k so we get more information on whether we only get some new parts like the ones we saw in the teaser or whether it’ll be a full remaster. I wouldnt be surprised if it was, as there have mostly been 2 remasters in all of the recent updates, unless there was a new car. Anyways, I’m so much looking forward to the update

 

It would also be quite cool to get Anti-lag for the cars and/or the ability to color the stitches and shimmer of the carbon bits the Arensic interior has, the green doesn't fit many colors.

 

An anti-lag system would be great but a Rally ECU with the idle set at about 2000rpm would be great too. Hearing the Vivace Rally twins idling @680rpm is a bit off.
Also, this ECU can be put in the 5-cylinder parts selector too, it would make that engine sound lovely in a custom Rally Vivace!

 

also if we get a moonhawk remaster a Australian version would be awesome with the mad max blower

 

That's an interesting theory, though it does bring up the question of the Miramar, which, at the time of this writing, is the only body-on-frame vehicle that is still equipped with a unibody-like JBeam structure, and is comparatively lacking in content. The team did add PBR interior materials and new interior colours in 0.24, so perhaps things are starting to move on the Miramar.

I'd personally put the Miramar ahead of the Sunburst in terms of the remastering schedule, but there does seem to be a lot more community interest in having the Sunburst updated. We'll have to wait and see what happens.
