Update Speculation thread

The carbon fiber hoods of the '88 Pessima, the Covet and the 200BX break apart as well!

 

I find it hilarious how when there’s nothing to speculate, this thread will over analyze even the most trivial of things posted by the devs, but after Tdev did a Q&A and essentially gave a massive leak of future plans for the game, the only speculation is how Tdev, a DEVELOPER, got the image of the 0.25 file.

 

lmao it's actually hilarious
"how does the literal ceo of beamng have an image of a dev build? i'm so confused guys!!!!"

 

ikr

 

What i find interesting is when Tdev said it has lots of goodies in V0.25 ( as well as V0.26 ) BUT I wonder if we will get another remaster. ( more then 1 car remastered ) Like version ) 0.24 was ?

if so i pray its the moonhawk. I want to love it. Its funny to think it was once the most advanced car. Way back in 2013. Now its the most dated.


BUT I think the MK 1 Pessima has the most high chance of a remaster as it shares some engines/ and its meshes with Covet. Time will tell.


ALSO i think late june About 3 to 5 Weeks. Possibly 6 to 8 if something goes pear shape.

 

Hmmm.....

INDIA

 

Considering the new police equipment in the bastion and bolide, and those new light bar meshes in the files, I'm thinking they might be doing phase 2 of the grand Marshall remaster

 

And they make actual IMPROVEMENTS, for FREE!! While big AAA studios want to sell you recycled low changed decade old stuff. Without droping a name...

 

Maybe we can get slipstream? For racing purposes and also stuff like that

 

Thats a ton of happiness from tdev! Amongst all the goodness reading that a new map is in the works sounds great. The old maps obviously gets remastered but that can only do so much and i feel that Small Island (and partially Industrial) is a good representation towards how the maps should/could look. The colors overall are harmonius with eachother, theres wear and tear, grass isnt green and so on.

 

Oh my god i forget The poor old Grand marshall. witch is bad on my behalf seeing i was driving one today


If we do it will be good to see a wagon version. BUT what Ever they give us i will be happy with


Also what do you all think will be next teaser.

 

I think that we will get a teaser for another remaster... don't know wich one but another than the Covet

 

I'm speculating on a new Italian supercar to deliver pizza even faster

 

And it's gonna be spicy as well!

 

That would probably come in a future update with reworked aero system

 

My guess is that tire thermals will come first, and then some on the lines of aero rework in .27

 

I find it unfortunate that we're getting the supercar before any changes to the aero system, but I can understand that overhauling how the aerodynamics work is a whole different beast. Hopefully, for now, the car can be driven well just through the reliance on ESC and such.

 

*happy indian guy noises*

 

The modern electronic systems like the ESC and the electronically controlled differentials are making cars easier to control and better in handling, so I expect the new Civetta to be great!

Also, bear in mind that aerodynamics already exist in BeamNG.

1. The retractable rear spoiler of the SBR4 cuts some top speed on its most upright position - on "Sport+" and "ESC/TC Off" modes. Also, that small spoiler is enough to hold the car down @400km/h. Without it, the car oversteers all the time, no matter how wide rear tires you put on.
2. The humongous rear wing of the Group 5 Bolide flexes under air pressure above 300km/h. Also, without it, the Group 5 Bolide would be even more of a handful.
3. The Nomi GTRX aero package (the humongous rear wing and the crazy front splitters) provides a serious amount of downforce. If you get the SBR4 Hillclimb to at least 300km/h, notice the front suspension diving down and the front wheels clipping through the front fenders. That's how powerful this aero kit is. Also, without the crazy front splitters, the front end lights up and lifts. And without the humongous rear wing, the rear end lights up and slides all over the place.
4. The angle of attack of the Nomi ironing boards (the '88 Pessima Track variant has such a rear wing) is adjustable and can change the stability of the rear end.
5. On a more down-to-earth note, the tailgate of the bed (both the separate bed and the one unified with the body, like in the Charro/Kentarch) of the D-Series can actually hinder acceleration above ~150km/h and it can also increase the fuel consumption and engine load when moving on cruise control @100km/h. This is both with and without any bed caps/camper shells on, even if the bed cover of the D35 Chief Rancher diesel is on. The aero model isn't that advanced to take bed caps and bed covers into consideration. Test the Charro/Kentarch variants (and any separate bed variant with a camper she'll on, like the Beast one) and see what I mean.
6. This 5th fact is also true of the twin rear doors of the H-Series and of the doors of the Box Truck variants of the D-/H-/T-Series as well, all of which seem to be reducing drag when they're open.

So aero definitely needs improvements in the more detailed stuff, like bed caps/camper shells, bed covers and twin rear doors.

 

And things like underwings. None of the diffusers in BeamNG actually do anything besides look nice.
