Update Speculation thread

We don't know much about the next update do we? What's with all the hush-hush?

 

I think multiplayer is a long ways away so lets just go back to what is being worked on which is the new bus.

 

There's not much to speculate about the bus though, this update has been really quiet. Better tire stability (supposed to come last update, didn't quite make it), improved engine tuning options, a bus, improved jBeam variables, adaptive brake lights, small graphics changes, slight audio changes, sticky part highlighting, and other bits I've forgotten are all that's been mentioned.

 

Could you link me to that? Haven't seen it be mentioned anywhere

Also, the main thing I'm waiting for is tyre temperature/wear so driving the car would be even better

 

https://www.beamng.com/threads/development-screenshots-2.24313/page-2#post-782523 and somewhere else I can't seem to find anymore
Also, I do really hope tire thermals are implemented.

 

Neither split-screen nor multi-screen are in the plans, apparently, which is unfortunate as multiseat really doesn't sound like it would work for races, especially long races. I also have to assume that the devs would pull EULA if some modder tried to add it, though I've never read the EULA so I wouldn't know. Which dev would have the final answer on that?

 

Does anyone else think it's a bit strange that we haven't seen any new cosmetic parts for existing vehicles lately? /The only new external parts released since 0.10 I can think of are the concealed flashers and modern lightbar on the Grand Marshal.

 

From time to time, there are pauses in approving mods on the repo because BeamNG is not the only thing in the devs' life and they might have other things to do atm.

 

Blasco city PD skin as well.

 

Woah this is different

 

What's different? Is there a new picture of upcoming content that I'm unaware of?

No @workclock1© I think is talking about the forum changes. Speaking of, welcome back!

OT: I just saw the new screenshot from the Italy Thread. The new dirt road textures look like they have been driven on which some textures have been lacking.

 

now i'm in love with Italy

 

I predict the 0.12 update (potentially with Italy map) will happen in a week's time, somewhere around the 25th of March.
Don't go mental over the update time though, I'm only predicting based on the fact that other updates happen around 1.5 months apart, and the Italy map looks almost complete according to images.
--- Post updated ---

Oh I forgot, potentially with that new bus?
It's possible, as the ETK brand came out of nowhere.

 

I don’t think the Italy map will come in the next update....just doesn’t seem like it.

 

cough Easter cough

 

Actually yeah probably

 

Remember - those are strategically-taken images, where everything in the shot is complete or close to complete. They only represent small patches of the Italy map - which is absolutely huge in comparison.

 

Wasn't WCUSA finished in a bit over a year? If so it's a safe guess to the fact that Italy could potentially be close to done.
Not guaranteeing though.
