Update Speculation thread

Yes, it is FWD! Nah, the Elan Mk2 had power steering! So it's kinda like a Lotus Elise in reverse then!

 

What about the Kia Elan? that was also a thing but they put their own engine in it instead of keeping the unit from Lotus iirc

 

Didn't think about that!

 

I agree. That looks too uncomfortable for manual

 

I have driven a 4 ton mercedes sprinter ambulance without power steering before. This mantra isn't used at Mercedes anymore

 

My old man had a 1970's Chevy C70 (i think that was the model) with no power steering and the steering wheel was huge in some of the pictures he gave me.

 

Yup, that's why I said "old-school".

Now, returning to Update Speculation, I'm curious about seeing the remastered Covet as a whole. The steel wheels we saw a few days ago look great and I can't wait to see them on the car.
Plus, the special orange ZXi graphics of the 1.5 ZXi Special Edition must become colour independent because atm they can't be seen in any body colour other than white.
As for the "Ibishu Blades" wheels, a silver variant with the outlines of the triangle holes painted black would look ace, as shown in this Reddit picture (pic No.4).

That would be a big surprise, however, those seem to be blank switches like many economy cars in the 80s/90s/00s/10s/20s/forever have had. They could be used for traction control on/off, power mirrors, interior light dimming, fog lamps, cruise control, moonroof controls, etc.

 

some cars which even had all the options equipped came with blank switches, but I hope thats not the case in the covet

 

Really hope we get some more interior sounds now that we have animated shifters, hearing a shifting sound when shifting would be awesome for immersion.

 

Maybe I misspoke, but I meant Havoc as an additional engine to the game, in the form of dynamic mud as in Spintires or destructible objects (poles, fences, fences, etc.)

 

Yep, especially when you change gear in a hurry, without even pushing the clutch pedal, a shifting sound would complement the gear grinding sound perfectly!
Speaking of... can you imagine what the no-lift shift feature in a manual transmission would look and feel like in a modern BeamNG vehicle?

 

Speaking of sounds i know skid sounds were changed in an earlier patch but to update them again to more real authentic tyre kicking sounds would be great.

 

The Covet seems to be missing the mirrors in the teaser, imagine if they made the mirrors reflect the car and they don't want to spoil us about it

 

Thats an interesting detail, don't think that we're gonna see our mirrors tho in this update

 

orr could be the fact that version of the car has 1 mirror, but the 1 mirror is out of frame

 

you're right

 

Interesting argument. I'll just say that we're seeing the absolute basic 1.5 DX version which, traditionally, has got no right mirror.
