Update Speculation thread

Depends on what scratches your itch. Every update has been substantial but they can't satisfy every playing style.

 

Yeah I agree with that, although the main devs are probably still on holidays (like Leelooo was last seen Dec 27th), some of them are back to work but I don’t think they’ve cooked much, IF they have cooked anything at all

 

Guess we see what happens on the end of January.

 

I bet they are preparing if not cleaning up from the last update, I doubt they ar cooking yet

 

Ok, some actual speculation:

I think the livery editor is way more than what it seems. It's a feature that divides the car's paints into layers so decals can go on top/below other decals without interfering with eachother, while at the same time being able to be saved and used later. You know what feature could use a similar base?

Paint scratches, as well as dirt and mud in cars. They have to be divided into layers (imagine you scratch a car, get it dirty by offroading and later scratch it again, the game will need to render the new scratch "on top" of the dirt decal), and for career mode it would make sense for them to be saved along with a car.

While I don't think this is coming soon, I think the livery editor's layers feature will at least serve as a good base for those to work.

 

Seems like a longshot to me.
Says the front axle was taken from an old dragster.

 

I think for the next update we are going to have a similar car to the 2005 Mustang

 

It seems like that could accumulate layers quickly, they would need some system to figure out if a mark needs a new layer or not. I'm sure that's what will happen, but just for the sake of discussion how would that work? I have outlined some scenarios for discussion below:

Spoiler: Examples

Scenario 1:

1. Dirt mark, new layer "A"
2. Scratch on different part of car, thus layer A
3. Scratch ontop of dirt mark, new layer "B"
4. Scratch on top of scratch from number 2. Expand scratch, thus layer A?

Scenario 2:

1. Big scratch, new layer "A"
2. Mud on top of scratch, new layer "B"
3. Scratch on top of mud on top of old scratch, new layer "C"?
4. This raises the question: would layer A be visible beneath layer B?

 

It's on the drag configuration... The Gambler 500 configuration has the axle from the dragster.

I'm surprised no one has posted this yet.

 

Where's that from? The sedan is a mod. We've had runways and (as map pieces) airplanes fir a while now, and airplane mods have been around almost since the beginning. That being said, I'm surprised we haven't gotten any as official content yet.

 

Huh?

 

Exactly, they are just preheating the oven rn

I want a road like the West Coast highway in the USA. Either as another map, mod map, or a WCUSA expansion.

 

I just want to cruise for a long time

 

Thats why I want the West coast highway USA in beam.ng.

 

There is the johnson valley for that matter, but it doesn't mean i dont want to see a long road/highway as a WCUSA expansion

 

That's a long straight road, not a windy coast side road.

 

Johnson valley is really not long enough. And it’s not the highways I’m used to

 

I said i would like the WC road expansion at the end, plus simsimw said that he wanted to cruise in long road, not what type of long road.
