Update Speculation thread

And there I have existential problem. Automation Map is based on New Zeland so country is in Oceania. There is big difference between Germany and Italy but between New Zeland and Australia is not. If they do Australia map for me this is wasting their time. I think they should remade Automation map as Oceania map and then focus on country in Africa, Asia, North EU or South America (but in that case we have Jungle Rock Island which is Asia or South America). My point of view is that new map should be unique in case of conditions and represent something else than maps which already are in game.

 

Oh boy... those are fighting words

 

Picture from horizon 3 of Australia:

It's very different from any map we currently have, and even more from automation test track. What matters is not the localisation but the landscape.

 

Cliffs we have in Jungle Rock Island, water on Italy map same as trees, grass and others. Beach also is on Jungle Rock Island

 

That 3-speed automatic will make the NA diesel engine's life that much harder!! You'll always need to resort to the low range to accelerate in a decent manner!!

 

Love. This. Thing.
Couldn't get around to seeing the teaser earlier because of work but it sure got me excited!
Anything old and analog...yes. Please more of this!

 

Also if we talking about what we have in game similiar to Australia in FH3

Cliffs: Jungle Rock Island
Grassy spaces with kangaroos in FH3: Small Island
Jungle: Jungle Rock Island
Beaches: Jungle Rock Island, Italy, Small Island

There is only one thing we don't have in BeamNG but its in the FH3 (not counting City because we know that BeamNG can be not capable of big city): Desert/Sandy Hills
But I don't get it why people want to get Italy mixed with Jungle Rock Island and with Small Island just to get desert or sandy hills. We can go to Africa or Middle East or even Mongolia in Asia. Different and unique conditions but also unique map. Not mix of every map just to get Australia.

I see only one point why people want to get Australia map but idk if BeamNG is capable of upside down world

 

Could this update be the biggest yet? I see no reason to tease so much so soon if it's not going to release this winter. We've had ETK parts/possible remaster, at least a new baja truck/possible whole new truck, tire thermals, and this fire truck. I'm not going to count my eggs before they hatch, but I am getting hyped.

 

Don't forget the Piccolina chassis that was left in the update

 

Oh you cant imagine how much im looking forward to this thing!

Yes, this would explain the sheer amount of teased content and the fact that so many stuff was already teased before the last installment and then the word of it just vanished.
My take is they are expanded on stuff or atleast decided to drop stuff from the latest update which is almost ready but they decided that we are in for a reeeeallly big treat this christmas!

 

I've never been this excited for christmas since I was 6 years-old.

 

Me neither

 

Yep, me too! Looking forward to overheating the engine while trying to crawl the big uphill on Cliff Roads!!

 

Ah i see you are a man of culture aswell!

 

I can't find the source right now so I might be wrong, but I remember some dev saying how they weren't planning on adding a fire truck because then people would expect it to shoot water and put out fires along with other things. That makes me think that it might actually function correctly if they're adding one.

 

Maybe they found a way. Even if not i would not be disappointed because i would love a fire truck just for the looks of it i mean you cant put the Ambulance to use neither since there are no ragdolls to stuff in there and drive them to the hospital but its just nice to have the vehicle itself

 

There's a lot of different types of trucks that people refer to as "fire trucks". A modern American pump truck would definetly carry that expectation, but something like this wouldn't necessarily.

 

Yeah, it could be an equipment truck, or a brush truck (stralia!)

 

Yes, they didn't want to add a fire truck back then because they had told us they had problems in finding a way to make water behave inside of the truck like IRL (sloshing, shooting from the hoses, stuff like that).

Always!!
