Update Speculation thread

It looks a lot likes a 2008-2015 ford f150. I’m guessing it’ll be bruckell as the d-series is based off the Chevy Silverado

 

To be honest, apart from the map which is the most exciting part, I am, vehicle wise, most hyped for the etk van as it’s something completely different to everything we‘ve got in the game at the moment

 

so, a cheap economy work truck marketed as an overpriced luxury vehicle?

 

Nadeox1 post this on Community Screenshots. Maybe new map is on this screen ?

 

Isn't that Sandy Mountain or Las Colinilas

 

ETK van most likely not in this update as we've only had one teaser of it in a very early state.

I think the update will center around the new map and a dedicated Baja truck rather than anything related to a production vehicle. That would make the Baja truck BeamNG's first racing vehicle with no road-going model, and hopefully not the last, we could do with an official F1, LMP or stock car.

 

Yes, it is definitely Las Colinilas.

 

... really I thought we discussed this. Not everything a dev posts is new stuff. Also clearly this confirmed the Crown Vic for Beam. /s

 

Does Las Colinilas have operable street lights? Cause I see them turned on in the picture. I'm only asking because operable street lights officially got in the game last year.

 

They’re a prop, they can be placed everywhere.

 

I don’t want to disappoint anybody, but I don’t think that we will be getting a teaser tomorrow due to the fact that it’s a US holiday.

 

I think this is most likely not true as why would they design a whole new truck just to half-ass it? Not very BeamNG.drive.when they remastered the d-series, pretty much all the teasers they made where off-road/trophy variants.

 

The BeamNG team is a around the world

 

I know that too.

 

You know what else is in the Southern California desert? The Southern California logistics Airport, aka Victorville airplane graveyard. Smithing like this would make an awesome rally course, maybe even have a large c-5 Galaxy -esque cargo plane (as a map feature only) that has open ramps on both ends so we can drive through it. See the people inside for scale


Imagine swerving around huge planes or maybe driving under the wings, drag races on the runway or even a track circuit on the tarmac (think Dunsfold in the desert). with how immensely massive the SCLA complex is irl, it would probably need to be a map of its own if they made it to scale, although they could just make smaller section inspired by it in one corner and have the rest of the map be dedicated to other stuff.

Honestly forgot about the hopper although I was thinking about a more modern SUV

While I see your point, (and an f1 car would definitely be cool) I’m still gonna be a bit disappointed if they don’t make a regular road going version of the truck since this game lacks a modern pickup. I may be biased though since outside of formula racing I’ve otherwise never really cared for these purposes built race cars/trucks without street legal counterparts. I kinda just prefer modified street legal car racing.

 

you do realise that there are more countries than just the united states in the world, right?

 

More of the Beam team is outside of the US than in it, including LeeLoo, who puts together the teasers. Plus, I figure they probably have the teasers done at least a day or even a couple hours in advance.

 

Nice ideia, could be a good place for the Antonov mod and other planes.
And also, that remember that airfield in GTA San Andreas, but the only difference is that in GTA there's abandoned and destroyed planes.

 

Las conilidas de vapor or something like that. An official beamng ground wouldn't be so flush and flat.
--- Post updated ---

Yeah, but that body is pretty much out in the open and it looks like just a generic modern pickup body. Someone earlier had suggested that fiberglass bodies could be made in advance of new cars as additional canonical (but not in-game) content, that to me is more likely than a whole new truck rollout with this update.

If I really had to guess, I'd say that the fiberglass bodies were going to be used as long term vehicle plan lists - something we haven't seen for a while.
