Update Speculation thread

I was literally about to post this, I think it's a change to the highway of Automation Test Track, as you can see the national park sign is at the back, and it has the same foliage. I guess they wanted to change it, possibly to make it more challenging.

 

idk what it is but that bolide looks really off

 

I think it might have bigger USDM bumpers

 

Hang on. is This thing i circled ( also thanks to who ever edited the car together ) Is that a tail-light
Or fuel cap.

if it is a fuel cap it will be the first car in game to have it,

 

It does have USDM bumpers, as well as the US-market marker lights on the fenders.

Yeah, that looks like it could be a rear-mounted fuel cap. If that's the case, it won't be the first vehicle to have one (the T-Series, MD-Series, Wigeon, and Wydra all have fuel caps, as well as all the specialized off-roaders (like the Dunekicker, Rockbouncer, Piccobuggy, and Hopper Crawler) except the Aurata, IIRC), but it would be the first regular car to have one.

 

Ah true. those cars i dont use often lol my bad.

 

It's fine - to be fair, none of the vehicles I listed would really count as "cars" to many people (except the Wigeon, but even that's kinda a grey area).

 

Most likely a aftermarket tail-lightt...the fuel caps are much lower then that normally

 

Upon reviewing it ingame, there were no changes made

 

Fairly certain the Stambecco has a proper fuel cap as well

 

hmmmmmm i wonder who could've made that

 

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that vehicle - I don't tend to use it very much.

 

This livery also reminds me somewhat of those of the classic Rally Monte Carlo. Very nice!

 

i have a feeling that we're getting a 2nd automation update in the future
beam is about to get its racing updates and automation is doing something similar and they have a new test track
and i cant stop wondering about that

 

Oh boy, the triangular Ellisbury race track would be something else in BeamNG!

 

Wow what an interesting and unique idea! /j

 

*Cough* I had that idea when they announced it, but never said anything *cough*

 

Speaking of BeanMG & Automation, I found this in the comments under their Superchargers & Turbos video:


Not that these mean much in the grand scheme of things but I wonder if we as players will feel the difference from the new engine combustion code

 

Automation is updating with super chargers and compounding turbos in case anyone’s wondering. Would be an awesome collab.

I wonder if anything’s progressed from AngeTheGreat’s front with engine sound simulating. I remember a dev had his simulator on their wishlist to use for BeamNG alongside BeamNG.drive being on his Patreon. I imagine it’d make collecting samples far more easier in comparison to renting various cars and setting up a test site to collect clean audio. But I don’t have anything to confirm there’s been recent progression. Just my own wishful thinking.

 

YES!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS KIND OF THING!! Engine tuning in BeamNG could be a bit more hands on and in depth without needing to edit and make lines of code outside gameplay
