Update Speculation thread

The Hopper is in-game.

The five-cylinder, anyone?

88, 98, LeSabre, Electra, Deville.

Also Toronado, Riviera and Eldorado, depending on your definition of fullsize.

 

I think it looks good. I hope there will be track (and maybe rally) version of Vivace with widebody aero kit

 

The Hopper is the exception to the rule. Nothing further needs to be said concerning the concept list; the devs have confirmed that is completely irrelevant.

DCT are getting improvements, that's nice they needed it. I just hope they won't only improve it in agressive driving but in soft driving too, right now they are pretty slow and have unrealistic behaviour when downshifting

 

I really hope they solve the shift time inconsistency problems, the clutching and the rev-match throttle are mismatched.

 

The issue I have is that EVERY video on the thread page loads at the same time, which is not something my 25MBit connection can handle. If I open the video via the direct link, the loading speed is as fast as you'd want it to go, it's just that that isn't the case when five videos start loading simultaneously

 

We already have the Automation map which is set in New Zealand so an Aussie car would make sense there

 

That's not really enough of a map for that reasoning, the bulk of it is a private race track facility rather than public roads. And we still don't know if that will be in career mode since it's the Automation map.

 

I just noticed Diamondback has an error in gameplay

 

A lot of cars lately have been seeing drift and drag variants, I wonder if the Vivace will see them. Also one of those (as far as I can tell) post-apocalyptic variants with awful, terrible, disappointing names. What would they call it, "The Regret"?

 

No way they could be drag verison have you ever seen a modern french car at dragstrip no! also there dirt banger's and Vicace will not have one beasuce it modern car

 

Oh...right. I...I guess that's what I was trying to say. My dumb phrasing bites me in the back once again, causing chaos and giving you devs a headache.

Anyway, are the passenger-van H-Series and 200BX V6/V8 swap also just random concepts that were thrown around, which we can now ignore/disregard?

 

High-class drag racing often features modern cars, because the cost of the car is anyway dwarfed by the cost of modifying it.

The I5 could become a high-power drag contender.

 

Usually when I see cars like the Cherrier on the drag strip they are either stock or running a ton of boost and otherwise stock. Older FWD cars do get heavily modified for drag racing though. I suppose it's possible to take a page from those types of drag cars, though personally I don't think a drag config is necessary on this particular car.

The Abysmal set of cars is limited to American passenger cars + the D-Series; I doubt we would see one on a modern Euro compact unibody. We could (hopefully) see an off road config à la Sunburst Off Road. IMO the cars with those configs all need proper off road, dirt racing, and demo derby configs instead of just combining all of the above. As in keep what we have now but add proper configs in addition.

As for the 200BX engine swaps that Driftin'Covet mentioned, I will for the 273rd time mention that the game needs an "if it fits it ships" approach to engine swaps.

 

You know, I wouldn't really mind if for example the Wendover would be "transformed" from a Pontiac Bonneville-like car into a Corvair, or be a mix of both. Corvair's swingaxle suspension would definitely be a great sight ingame & would showoff BeamNG's physics even more

 

That would be stupid

 

Its an 80s front wheel drive full size coupe, the car its self is stupid so why not go all the way with 80s stupidity

 

What is so stupid about it?

In the days after two fuel crises, and with a big fullsize buyer base, it made a lot of sense.

 

1. How is an 80s fwd coupe stupid?
2. The Corvair hailed from 1960 to 1969 so I don’t quite think she’d be set in the 80s anymore.

 

all I'm gonna say is I think that a fwd full size coupe is a bit stupid, I don't know how to explain it but I just reckon that they are utter jokes
