Update Speculation thread

If the devs want to play with automated parking / parking assistance (beep beep BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP) then it probably wouldn't be out of the question, but it'd be a pretty niche thing

 

Plus, after the introduction of the FCVs, the Sunburst is not all that special anymore. We already have plenty of FWD/FWD-based vehicles with transverse I4s in the game.

 

depressed moonhawk and burnside noises

 

Is there coming any improvements to tires?
1. It would be cool to see how worn your tires are.
2. It would be nice to see statistics of the tires to see how good they are for example offroad, racing, daily driving etc.

 

scratches are coming i think

 

Source? Or did you make this up based on no evidence?

 

I always thought that the TTsport 800-series didn't seem right. The I-series TTsports are rockets for their era, and the K-series with the same engine doesn't have a TTsport badge, so it seems to me that the current TTsport should just be a standard (8X6tt?) variant with a more powerful 400-500hp 6 or maybe even 8 cylinder TTsport model.

 

Yep, the 3.0 I6 is amazing (especially with the Stage-1 Turbocharger) but a Twin-Turbo V8 will really get the modern ETK twins up a notch. Plus, as I've already said, this engine can be a 4.0l unit made of two modern ETK 2.0l Turbocharged I4s around the same crankshaft (just like the 1.5 turbocharged gas and diesel I3s I also proposed for the lower end are made by splitting the 3.0 I6 block into half), for bringing the current German "Lego" way of engine production in the BeamNG lore.
The mid-cycle refresh is also a great option for both modern ETKs because Germans usually refresh their cars at 3-3.5 years.
More bodies for the 800, like a Sedan, are also needed because the modern German Sports Sedan niche is missing from the lore, while a Convertible for the K-Series is also filling in the modern 2-seater Roadster niche.
I'd also like the fender vents on the K-Series to be functional because they would complete the purpose of the air curtains on the widebody front bumper we saw on Tuesday.
The widebody rear bumper looks great too but the rear wing is amazing!

 

would be cool if they would add Nomi aftermarket gauges and a half rollcage
would make sense when they are already remastering the covet for the street tuned config or maybe the beam equivalent of an Wangan racer of the 90s

 

I mean, the ETKs don't have many configs, the 200BX really lacks content for a 90s Japanese sports, the Moonhawk doesn't even have a front grille... i think the Sunburst doesn't have absolute priority

 

Even if this remaster will probably destroy my etk V8 mod, im really happy of this remaster and I would enjoy so much to have a nice german official V8 in the etk 800/k series platform. And if not I'll definitely update my mod to make it compatible.

 

The Moonhawk has two front grilles, it's just that they're a little bit different and they're also part of the large front fasciae parts.

 

Q&A tdev best evidence there is Lol

 

He said something related to it, it could only be a part of the code needed to have them functional for example.

 

Hadn't really noticed that, tbh. So yes, it has to be remodelled applying the latest corrections we saw in the recent Major Update and it's Hotfixes.

 

Tbf the Sunburst doesn't have a front grille either, but I do see your point.

 

I think the explody doors on the Scintilla might be a precursor to deployable roll-hoops for convertibles. If the K-Series gets remastered it could get a convertible with them.

 

Good thinking, this is plausible imo

 

That's exactly what I was thinking although deployable roll-over hoops make more sense in 4-seater convertibles than the 2-seater ones. The 2-seaters can also get by with fixed hoops and most of these actually do get by with them.
We'll wait for the K-Series remastering and see.
