Update Speculation thread

water does cool down the engine though

 

Isn’t that exactly what they are saying?

 

huh

 

Hopefully vulkan surprises us
I certainly dont feel like the game runs as good as it should on my system

 

seeing how Vulkan ran on my computer, its still got a long way to go before it can be considered good enough to be primary

 

That just still grossed me out. How could someone put so much nsfw references and still post it

 

what was it?

 

It was a skin pack for the ETK-K series I believe, it had sponsor logos all over the car which referenced names of nsfw furry websites, not cool, not cool at all.

 

That way the engine may not even be able to start though!

Uh... yeah?

 

He means when you fall in water while your engine can cook eggs, the water cools down the hot engine instantly. sometimes when you stop and dont move the engine cools down on itself too, another thing that could happen is that when temperature gauge is close to the top, and the little icon turns red, but even when you dont gas it, it will still go up on it's own, even if you turn off the engine. i think its bug or something, since it happens very rarely. but sometimes, in some cars, witch is pretty often surprisingly, when the temperature gauge is a it's very top, even when you stop or turn off the engine, it would still remain hot and wont cool down, and you have to dip the car in water, or reset it; OR kill the engine

 

It's already in-game. If you drive into any body of water with a hot engine and pay close attention to the engine thermals app, you will notice that the temperatures actually go down. A good example of this is in Failrace's series Driven Till Destruction

 

You don't even need the engine thermals app, the temp gauge is enough.

 

It was a pretty sickening apparently, even though they were good quality.
I don't know who could possibly post something like that and think it was perfectly OK. Definitely not cool, I'm glad I reported it when I could.

In terms of speculation, seeing the new vehicle's livery and new colour matched wheels makes me hopeful that it will have nice useable and not at all headache-inducing UV maps.

 

I know, I'm almost 7 years into this sim. I'm just talking about the aggressive engine cooling down sounds heard during an abrupt temperature drop, that's what Speednsnake referred to and that's what I answered to as well!

 

No mods approved this morning? What did they mean by that

 

Maybe they are taking a break. this sometimes happens. no mods get approved for a fairly long time, (like ~1 to ~3 days) and then a bunch of mods suddenly come to repo or get updated on there. (also, it's not been that long, it's been only about a day, witch is pretty usual in this case.)

 

An update is coming, obviously.

Also, are we finally getting some merch?

 

Maybe.....? Oh boy that would be cool!

 

how is that predicting an update??
