Update Speculation thread

Let's just not get this thread locked, I would hate to see it go.

Back on topic, I can't wait for the new Legran! From what I see, it appears to have a digital dashboard, and possibly could have a touch screen (as seen in the 1988-1989 Buick Reatta). Keep up the good work @gabester.

 

Or a hotfix for the hotfix..

 

Everyone asking about, the new cars.. I'm here wondering about physics updates and improvements .

 

This Just IN!

I think there is going to be new gearbox/drivetrain code, but I don't think there will be many more updates to physics because they have physics spot on, but it would be interesting to see more aspects of the cars accurately simulated (tire thermals, electrical power, etc.)

Look back a few pages of the thread, there has been a lot of speculation about that image already.

Yup the new powertrain code is coming in the next update, can't wait for it.

 

I know we are supposed to refrain from silliness, but I couldn't resist.


Everyone aboard the power-train-hype-train!

Why must my phone double post everything!?

 

Oh, it certainly won't be tommorow, I'm saying maybe around the 20th....

OT:
I have nothing to speculate, but I have some important advice:

Spoiler: Not Clickbait...

Be patient. Tdev said it will be here before Christmas, but not this week. My estimate is for thurs-sat next week.

 

That caravan has some propane tanks on the front, if you look close, and I think we all know the propane tank mod.....

Possible exploding caravans?!

Anyone else notice that all the recent Dev photos are in Utah? This may be a clue that they could be adding something to Utah, or, that's it's their favourite map....

 

look at the lines on the hood. Looks to me like a detachable and removable front fascia piece: Derby warning!

 

Haven't the front fascias of the cars always been removable?

 

Yep Going to strip the Lerand. ( will still have door's ) And strip the caravan.


And with this drive code update does this mean we can turn the engines on/off ?

 

most of the cars in-game can be converted into derby cars, but the LeGran would definitely be one of the best derby cars.

 

I understand what you're getting at and I agree, the Hopper in the next update would be nice though probably not very likely. Ya never know though. Either way I'm going to be happy because we are going to get an RV trailer and I've been wanting more trailers to pull around for quite a while now.

 

Thanks for understanding. All that I said, is not supposed to be rushing/forcing the devs to do something they may be unable to. After all, look what I say in my signature. If I have to wait a bit longer for the Hopper, I most certainly will.

Yeah, I really look forward to that caravan, along with the LeGran.
Wow, that rhymes

 

i'm wondering if that camper trailer will shatter into a bazillion pieces when wrecked. if so, a new obstacle for our beloved monster truck

 

I hope that it will be possible to crash a car into it Mad Max style.

 

couldn't find a pic so here

 

Jeez, did the driver make it out alright?
