Update Speculation thread

yeah its a great map! wonder if youve updated it in like, last year?

 

Anyone else find it a little weird how the Japanese police config has police in English when all other police cars use the language from which they originate? (French Gendermarie, Italian Polizia, etc?)

 

Oh, I figured the RHD was an oversight and it was meant to be for the US as a traffic control vehicle... though it wouldn't fit with the US of that era, neither does the Sunburst, nor the Hopper (basically an Isuzu).

 

I'm very excited for any upcoming vehicle remasters, considering how amazing the covet remaster is. It genuinely feels like a brand-new car. However, the Barstow and Moonhawk getting interior PBR overhauls make me think that they're still quite a while away from getting full remasters and yes, the Sunburst probably deserves it more...

Australia for 0.27, TDEV PLS (because he's clearly the only person on earth who can make that happen /s)

Bro your pfp brought back golden memories

 

Australia better come with Australium cars

 

The Covets interior got PBR not long before its remaster so you can't write them off just yet
Also I wonder what's up with the K-Series parts we saw a bit ago, I'm still on the side that says that's a remaster because to me they look a lot smoother, it might be hard to map the parts onto the current textures since they're quite complex, and also the K-Series suffers from a lack of content like the 96 Pessima

 

I was wondering the same thing about the K-Series. I'm thinking they decided it would be better to release the widebody parts with a remastered K-Series. Or it was always meant to be a part of a remaster and they just teased it early.

 

I'd definitely say that the K-Series will be getting some form of new content in the next update, whether that's a remaster or not we'll have to see. I would say that the devs might stick to the theme of remastering the Ibishu cars first though as the '89 Pessima, Covet and 200BX probably share the same/similar engines. I do doubt this to some extent though as the Pessima got new lights in this update and the 200BX got a new interior colours, which might be something to keep them fresh in the meantime whilst the the devs remaster other cars, such as the Moonhawk and Sunburst, which arguably need a remaster more than the others

 

Bro feels so awkward writing speculations on a thread that even developers write on. Feels like the actual answers are so close and so freaking far at the same time...

 

I think that the K-Series might even be the next car to get a full remaster, it's just not really done yet hence why we've not seen that much of it.

Maybe they still need a suitable idea for a flagship config.

 

Considering some of the brightest minds in sim racing haven't figured out tyre thermals properly yet it is understandable that they are taking their time with it.

 

Yeah, weirder still is the fact that it is clearly designed to be a Japanese police car, going as far as to have the red lightbar, RHD, and black/white paintjob. It might be something they end up changing, especially if they plan to (hopefully) make JDM police configs of the Pessima/Sunburst

 

That’s the fun. Would you rather a “Developers Reveal Literally Everything About the Next Update and Give Nothing To Wonder About” thread?

 

I'm confident the next update is indeed Australia, tdev already confirmed it is going to be dry and warm, recently a new feature was added with a global map setting for left side driving what eases making them a lot and now we are getting vehicles like the Covet with the wheel on the wrong side, too

About remasters I wonder if the T-Series is next because it is the only one that didn't get an animated shifter, but maybe that's only because the 18 gears add complexity
The truck remaster could then also bring Australian roadtrains/outback versions what would be fitting with the map release

 

I'd love an AUDM T-series. Throw on some raised side mounted intakes and big mud flaps, and it's set.

 

I definitely sense a moonhawk remaster coming next update, as there have been a few minor add-ons in 0.25 and .26. there was a new taillight option in 0.25 and pbr interior in 0.26

 

I wonder if they will add openable doors to all cars as they remaster, or all at once. I hope we get more, (or all) soon! I had a friend over when looking at the new update and I threw myself on the floor when I saw the new doors on the Covet
