Update Speculation thread

Late to the party but….



B O X.
So hype for this, I’ve wanted this for a while. I also want racing stripes for the Bastion.

 

It's about time we have a normal 4-lug wheel in silver colour along with the 3-lug silver ones of the Pigeon/Wigeon. Such a wheel has been missing from the game since the very beginning.
It looks great in weathered finish too, hope it's also accompanied by weathered tires with reduced grip!

Just edit it and make it say [DELETED]

 

if LJ is able to get the wheels, would it be possible to find the car?

 

i think it was leaked, i dont think they sent it to him

 

Theyre probably for the Covet remaster, i dont know what else theyd be for

 

Looks like DX or HF Honda CRX Rims could be a possibility that another Covet Body-style is in the works

 

A twin engine car isn’t actually that far fetched, there where a couple pike peak twin engine hatch backs in that time frame.

Although I wonder if they would simulate the actual problems with twin engine cars (engines never match rpm and means the car is a bit weird to drive). Anyway all Hail Dual Motor Hillclimb MR Turbo!

 

There's a guy running mk3 golf with 2 vr6 engines in USA for drag racing
So agree not too far fetched

 

a fair chunk of the groundwork for dual engines has been done, see the AWD electric cars for that.
AFAIK the only thing that would need new controllers would be the transmission & clutch, and while i'm not that knowledgeable about LUA, surely it's not that hard to set up a "secondary gearbox" that uses the same keybinds?
And alternatively, if you did want to bind the gearboxes separately, the T-series could also make use of whatever extra keybinds they pick, if it gets a twin-stick gearbox with its remaster.

 

You can also see each electric motor's power and torque numbers and curves through the Engine Dynamometer UI App (and add them up so as to find how close the total is to the official stats), so yes, this means that at least some dual engine groundwork has been done.
As for the separate gearbox keybinds, it would be practical for the twin-stick box of the T-Series (it only has two clearly superficial stick shifts now) but there's an application where it can be binded with the "Shift + P" and "Shift + E" keys: the twin-stick gearboxes of the late 70s/early 80s economy cars (think of the 1979-85 Mitsubishi/Dodge Colt), featuring 4 low gears designed for power ("Shift + P") and 4 high ones suitable for fuel economy ("Shift + E").
There are also the triple/quadruple Hurst Lightning Rod shifters but those are for the classic Torque Converter automatics and, like the twin shifters of the T-Series, they're also clearly superficial, as of now at least.

 

The game currently only supports one transmission per car out of the box. IIRC there was a twin-engine covet mod years ago, not sure if it still works though. You had to have a second ui app mod and different key bindings (because if they had the same, the mod would conflict with the game and the game would crash) for the second transmission, so it was really difficult to drive. It was a very janky workaround that barely worked. Let’s be real, though, that would be a very niche support that almost nobody would use.

 

i had some ideas again
1- an ingame livery editor ( i know that would take a lot and wouldn't even be able to be implemented) like NFS or Forza
2- an speedo-/tachometer akin to the one see in gt7
3- also when recovering the car that the headlights stay on like the fog lights
4- RGB/beat sinc and colorable neons

 

These may be more applicable to QOL (quality of life) improvement suggestions, i do not see any kind of speculation here

 

5- i speculate that the covet will either have a v6 or a vr6 in the back
6- i hope the k-series will have an proper race version gt3/gt4/DTM, V8/V6 (hopefully both), a lot of carbon fiber bits, maybe a convertible (probably not but would be cool), new rims, ceramic brakes, even more new Bodyparts that they have shown us already
the rest is up to you guys

 

I have an Important question:

Have u seen previous Bastion trailer, right?

But, SSRB map, will be a future default map? Because it was in the trailer... Maybe that could be a hint

Maybe i could be wrong

And a tip: I think that a radio in beamng cars would be amazing!
But with this function: You can create a folder, download some videos/audios of songs, and put them in folder... So people can have their songs in the radio

 

Since the MR Turbo has the word "Turbo" in it, I believe it's gonna have a turbocharged version of the 2.0 DOHC I4. And I say this because the 2.7 V6 has twin turbos, so it wouldn't make sense having a twin-turbo engine and simply calling it the "Turbo" instead of the "Twin-Turbo" or "TT" for short.
If the car is gonna be the base for a Rally car, then I believe it should have the 2.7 V6 for a better impersonation of the Group B. Not that it wouldn't be as good with the Turbo 2.0 DOHC I4 (after all, almost all mid-engined Group B Rally cars had Turbocharged/Twincharged I4s) but I think a Twin-Turbo V6 would stand out more. But if it's gonna have the I4, then a Group A Rally car would be great, since it's more inline with the known production years of the Covet (1987 - 1991, unless they get changed in the 0.26 Update, which they certainly will).

As for the K-Series, ETKs have I6s, not V6s. ;-)

 

I agree with the covet stuff
I certainly would disagree with the ETK part, first those updates happen to cars that dont have enough content it wouldnt make sense to keep the k-series an inline 6 or any other ETKs for that (Legran/ new Pessima/Van/Roamer)
I don't believe that ETK is a one trick pony and they clearly have some tricks up their sleeves
Second a Car manufacturer like ETK wouldn't just make inline 6 engines in small, medium and big (also in my opinion the k-series literally Screames for both V8 and V6)
i would think they offer 2,4L inline 6 in the low price range the 3L i6 and maybe 2,7L twinturbo/3,5l NA V6 for the mid range and a 4L Biturbo/5,5 Biturbo /4,2L NA /6,3L V for the high range ( i know bit many engines to be implemented but its still an speculation not a written fact) since it clearly based on the Z4 E89,SL55/65 and maybe a little bit of an audi tt hence the AWD ?
