Update Speculation thread

is there really any evidence to suggest tire thermals being in this update? I would be super excited if they are released but i highly doubt it since we haven't gotten an update about it since May

 

I'd be a lot more interested in the font showed, being the same used in the story mode. A remaster/expansion is definitely coming.

 

Maybe an addition to career mode

 

It's okay, I got it wrong.

 

For a map this big to be in BeamNG, it would have to be very well optimized. I wonder if any other optimizations will come with 0.27?

 

I guarantee it, most updates come with lots of optimization

 

well I sure hope so. because ever since 0.24.1, but especially 0.25, my PC has been extremely laggy compared to 0.23 and before.

 

OK bello van. I think we will either get the flat 4s from the smaller bello.
and/or i think some inline 4s. Something cheap to make. easy to keep maintained.
and maybe of 1.3 1.5 and 2.0
Some diesels of possibly
2.2
3.0 not sure about those lol ( be sweet to get a i5 diesel ) ( even more unsure on that )

BUT for fast versions? like the street. and possible race ( i know dont laugh )
I wonder if we will get the v8 swapped into it.

or maybe a Covet i4.

 

I hope the bello van also has a option for a diesel engine

 

It is very likely that we will get a 4 or 6 cylinder diesel being that it is a heavy duty truck.

 

at this point i'm downright praying for performance improvements in this update, it's kinda been a downward spiral since about 0.22 in that regard so getting some better frames out of this game would pretty much be a huge update itself imo

 

i guess we get both inline and boxer engines remember the VW t3 bus also got both inline engines from the vw golf and betle boxer engines

 

I don't think the bello van is large.

 

Same
I used to get really high FPS on this game with my 1660TI
But update after update my frames have dropped
I get sub 20 now on settings i previously got 80-90 on It makes me not really want to play the game anymore until they either optimize more or i get a new system

 

It's been very up and down for me but right now it's pretty good. There's definitely more optimization that could be done but they probably have other things to prioritise. I fixed most of my performance issues system-wide after I updated my BIOS which fixed my clock speed of my RAM (around 30fps extra everywhere because of resolving that bottleneck)
--- Post updated ---
Also, I reckon that one of the features that have taken so long to implement into 0.27 is going to be multiple viewports (i.e much better mirrors) and maybe also that audio tracing thing where if a window smashes in the cabin you'll be able to hear outside of the car without it being muffled.

 

Looks like the rock bouncer in the new teaser

 

Yes, quite a few people asked to see it again in Thursday's teaser and Leeloo delivered

 

Audio tracing would be so cool but I don’t think it will be part of this update yet

 

Here is a wild guess with no concrete evidence whatsoever (or should I say... No evidence set in Stone)

The devs teased a bunch of rock props, introduced a map with plenty of rocks spread around and with a heavy offroad focus.

What if they plan to have dynamic props, i.e. those rock props you see get spawned in a radius around the player vehicle like traffic cars, and they can be moved if crashed into with enough force. This could be expanded into things like lamp posts and signs in the future too.
