Update Speculation thread

Thailand, South Africa, India, and Kenya all have RHD aswell, and a eastern euro transport van would probably be more at home there than Australia, leading me to believe it could simply have configs based around countries like these

 

I mean it could? have multiple configs, it wouldn't be unprecedented now that we have both LHD and RHD Covets (please please PLEASE give us RHD wipers for the Covet!!!). Somehow I doubt they'll bother, doesn't really matter as much for a primarily off-road vehicle. It risks being at the same time one of the most fun and most confused vehicles in BeamNG unless there is in fact an LHD model.

 

I don't think they would go with Texas simply because there is already a Texas map in game
Japan has a naturally wet climate, especially with monsoon season, so it doesn't exactly fir the 'dry and hot' narritive
Finally Spain is geographically and characteristically rather similar to Italy through architecture, road design, etc, so I'm not fully sure they would go down that route

 

Texas map in the game is small, and if you spawn car after the fence. you have a "very long" drive to water

Like 10 min in straight line

 

I was just trying to think of a lore-friendly name

I’ve done that in 0.22 lol

 

Just got home and saw the teaser. Beam Unimog? Now *that's* out of left field.

 

The new vehicle looks like a Wentward to me.

 

since some people were saying it looks like a volvo c300 something, (twitter comments) i think it could be that swedish brand (jagyll or something) which isnt in use in game currently

 

that front grille is is absolutely ETK with the notch in the top centre, I'd presume this will share the ETK I's engines, along with new diesel counterparts.
I wonder if they're planning on modifying the ETK I's grille to match this and the others, since it's an unusually plain front end.

In other discussion, I wonder if the production years are going to span into the years of the 800/K?
first gen VW LTs were built until 1995, but steyr pinzgauers were built until 2007, mercedes varios were built up until 2013, and unimogs are of course still in production.
If they do plan to extend the model years, and they decide to put the modern engines in it, It'd be cool if it also got the rumoured V8 planned for the K series for some stupid track racing version, or even a weird pseudo-luxury version like later mercedes gelandewagens.

 

LHD and RHD wipers can be inside the slot for the windshield

 

East Coast (Maine), West Coast (California), JRI (Hawaii), Small Island (Texas), Utah and Industrial Site, which according to its default license plate is located in Texas as well.

That's 6 maps located in the U.S., I don't think they'll do another anytime soon.

 

Small Island is off the coast of California

 

i think we gonna get some semi-europe map with some moutians (it would fit with new pickup and truck) or maybe expansion of etk map ? Paired with etk k remaster.

Looks to be 3 axles but i hope there will be a 2 axle aswell like a c303

 

I would love it, ETK map is to small and have a lot of potential!

 

I realy hope that there will be a AWD offroad version like the GAZ 66 or something like the Mercedes Unimog. This with an eastern europe map would be fantastic!

 

in the previous update we got a hydraulics for t series,i think that in the new truck we can get something similar, maybe crane ver.?

 

There is actually a drivers training site (in Austria) which is at the bottom of a mountain (rather surrounded by mountains as it’s in a valley). I would love to see the etk map to be extended in a way like this where you have the autobahn (maybe leading into the mountains) and off-road trails and narrow streets on the mountains suitable for sporty driving and drifting

 

Has a default Texas plate so nooooooooooooooooo

Edit: I see what you mean, eh. I guess the devs couldn't make their mind up... Doesn't change my original point, though

 

Where did the rumored v8 come from?
