Update Speculation thread

Real life is best enjoyed with American car content. If you like grand tourers, America pretty much invented them

 

But seriously, this is update speculation thread, not let's start another USDM vs EUDM flamewar thread.

Going back to speculating, I suspect we will be getting back into a 1 car per update schedule after 0.16 for at least a little while, probably pausing a bit for the campaign to be finished. With the new wave of community recruitment and hiring a new manager a while back, and vehicle mechanics pretty much finished with torsion bars and electric engines soon, all that's left is more content and the campaign, theoretically.

 

With the framework for cars and maps almost done, it clears a path for some really great content in the fututre.

 

Also the pinnacle of comfort cars always where french.. not f.ckn american!.. I just dont see what american cars are great at? I mean fine.. a shelby mustang is a cool car (pony cars are just the american copy of european performance/sports cars).. but a muscle car... that shit has nothing goin for it.. the few cool american cars are all european-style (fords hothatches, saleen s7, corvette, viper,...)

 

IDK, American cars don't tend to surrender. Edit: This was a joke, pretty much every country has its merits when it comes to cars, maybe with the exception of a few communist countries.

OT, when the new UI comes out, I hope the "live update" in vehicle tuning will actually be live.

 

so how many cars are there planned to be added to the game?
10?
20?

 

They will continue adding new cars even after the last two planned vehicles (the Bluebuck and Wendover) are finished.

 

I was wondering ... what is missing to beamng ? They added brake thermal, engine thermal, powertrains, torque twist, fire, ect... but except the tire thermal who already got promised, what beamng still need to add ? (im not talking about "mor vehikl pls" but in a more technical sense)

 

water?
It doesnt react like water
only has buoyancy

 

Water simulation would make the game even more laggy (and we don't need this ) and it isn't really usefull (what do you want to do in water with a car )

But if they can add it without removing my precious FPS with a cool effect why not ! some spintires vibes in beamng

 

Also just a Stupid bit of speculation. IF the Video that was posted with the new sounds is A Engine Exporter. Will/does it use the beamng mesh. or the automation engine mesh you make,

Like using the Stock mesh I.E A covet. putting a V8 rwd may be possible. there for more fun... ( But boring as it will have the FWD 4 Cyl Engine mesh )


But if it uses the automation mesh ( the engine you make ) it will be limited by size... ( can you see youre self making a TINY Fed V8 ?)

Also the cars have smoke out the exhaust ( automation cars )

I am sorry if you know about the automation cars having this already..

 

It was not Automation car in video.

 

He is saying an engine exporter. Make an engine in Automation and export it to other cars in Beam. Killrob said someday they might get around to it.

 

Yeah i know, it's the MK 1 pessima as @ManfredE3 said.. Exporter Sorry to cause confusion.

 

I doubt highly, Automation FAQ states that it is low priority so probably going to take more than 6 months still. https://steamcommunity.com/app/293760/discussions/2/3559414588253724691/
