Update Speculation thread

I'd rather see the effort get put into content that makes more sense with the locations and gameplay that the game features rather than content that does not fit within that mold. The latter would just produce a ton of content that feels random and out of place. It's nothing personal against a British or French police car as mentioned earlier, if there were maps featuring each of those locations (and a RHD conversion for the British version), then I'd welcome them into the game with open arms, but as of now their inclusion would feel odd and out of place. On the topic of a British version, it would feel really off if it was still LHD.

 

If the ESC&TCS logic get revamped do they break previous ESC jbeam on mods?

 

Both the ETK 800 and K have a Polezei variant, and there was a border patrol D-series, but that was changed to park ranger.

Edit: Also the beam safari and zebra tours bus configs have no map that they really fit with.

 

Polizei is the German word for Police, and the ETK Driver Experience Center is set in Germany.

 

JRI.
It has beaches, abandoned places with most likely some history behind them and a volcano.

Utah.
Canyons and huge boulders add to the safari feel, and there are viewing areas along with a tourist center.

 

I agree with what you've said about Utah, especially given most of Utah is parkland, but I highly suspect JRI may change significantly in a future update (likely being set in an East Asian country, possibly Japan).

 

Yeah, but that's a closed course. There is just two public roads on that map, and they are really just to tie the whole map together.

Fair point about zebra tours, but a safari config doesn't really fit any map currently.

 

But it is a German map. Heck, they even made German license plates for the map. That doesn't change the fact that there is a German map, therefore there is a reason to make content for it, even if it is small.

 

On top of this, I remember seeing some dialogue files for another career mode chapter, which was set in JRI and used the Safari config. I think they've been removed since.

 

That dialogue was actually for a cut scenario that would have been released with 0.12. You would have driven around Jungle Rock Island in a DT40L and found various cardboard cutouts of animals. I believe said animals are still in the level files. Due to the fact that this was never implemented since 2018, I doubt it means anything now.

 

Well i cant wait for the base i3 with torsion beam rear with a crappy fun 6 speed man.

Also Very old forum members may know me. Rest of you know me as falconXr8.

New PC ( old one went bang ) so lost my old email and passwords as it was my dads email back in 2013 when we had to link the game to a email.


Anyway update will be good

 

Don't worry, at least I will make the base config with the smallest diesel tuned to be a perfect sleeper.

As far as I remember, following the update gaps of before releases, we could see this new update next week or the first of April, right?

I don't want to start again with the release speculations because it will not change anything, I just want to know if I'm right. Remember seeing a table but I can't find it tho.

 

I hope that the h-series will finally get some love.

 

yep

 

(clio and megane translated using google translate cuz i can't understand any german)

 

Who had the photo with the dates of the previous updates and estimated date of this one dropping? Just curious to see it.

 

Sooooo what could this be? The Vivace and the new D-series have been presented already, right?

 

The picture is also oddly narrow, which just arises more suspicion. The filename isn't anything to go by either—it's "ApplicationFrameHost_2020-03-23_10-18-52."

I don't think we've ever seen anything like this before.
