Early Experimental Preview of Career Concept

Ah, okay.

 

Possibly we could buy them from places that it makes sense for them to sell semis, like the port, movie studio, or construction site?

 

Hey James I have done some tweaks as well and I was getting the D series and H series in private. So it's an easy fix. I also added service vehicles to Jefferson Motors. We need D45s and H45s in career mode, but this change also added busses(which I don't mind). However I am disappointed I couldn't deliver cargo with the bus. And another change I will suggest is adding miles to the trailers. We need used trailers.

 

...and increasing your insurance cost tenfold.

 

What about reducing cost so a "2023 Small Flatbed" does not cost 30,000$+?

 

Not sure if it's been discussed, but I would love to see some sort of dynamic street racing system where you could maybe instigate a race with someone at a red light by honking or revving your engine to prompt you with a dialogue that would allow you to initiate a street race, which could maybe give you some options (drag to next light, race to random predetermined location, first one to 100kmh etc.) Then maybe an option for the wager: money, skill points, or pink slips.


This could also maybe be used as a cool way to unlock contacts for other missions or jobs? Maybe contacts could have a unique vehicle that only they will have so you can tell who they are from their vehicle? Would be cool if you could run into a guy who maybe owns a local tuner shop and if you get to know that person and do work for them maybe you could earn a discount at their shop for example?


Would be cool if there were some sort of random event system sort of like RDR2 for example, where say maybe you could come across a random car meet which could also be a way to meet contacts, or buy or sell vehicles or parts? Or even just as something to populate the world to make it feel alive.


Really excited to see where you guys take this, so many cool possibilities.

 

Kinda like NFS Underground2, Carbon, and other NFS games? With the Ai randomly driving around at 60+ and challenging them on the fly?

 

You could also make a toggle or option somewhere to disable these "random encounters". Also any progress on the replayability for update 0.32?

 

I think we need a 5000lb Ibishu warehouse forklift... with all the fixings. Counterweight options up to 8000lbs, diesel, gas, and LPG engines. Different masts, forks, fork extensions, warehouse and offroad pneumatic and cushion tires, manual and automatic transmissions. Just think of the shenanigans.. I mean gameplay opportunities that would allow.


Any business that receives any serious amount of freight could potentially justify having one, maybe you could take random quick jobs unloading vehicles? This is one thing that could be "gamified", for example a truck loaded with pallets could have them simply spawn at the back door untethered to the vehicle (for a box truck). Flat decks could obviously just be accessed from the sides. Then the freight would just have to be placed in a specific position or area.

Imagine for a minute, one little game or mission has you unload as many trucks as you can within a certain timeframe. A truck pulls up, the state of the load changes from secured to unsecured, you are then prompted to unload, which you do, the truck pulls away and drives out of sight and despawns as another that was waiting in line pulls up and the process repeats.

This could be expanded to other material handling equipment if time and budget allowed, container handlers, container cranes, truck mounted cranes, piggyback forklifts, etc etc.

Also, I just wanna slam the stupid thing into second gear and send it over the speed bumps on gridmap to take out all of my pent up ex forklift operator frustrations. With the potential of node and beam triggered sounds, I can even imagine the sound of forks clanging with every bump.

It just seems so fun when you think about it that I almost wanna beg for it.

 

I meant anything from delivery improvements, more missions, or new things such as AI races, taxi missions, etc.

And there is a forklift mod on the repo, that still works.

Thanks!

 

I want to discuss the topic of UI scaling. are you guys planning on making everything Bigger, because right now, on my 4k monitor, the UI is tiny! i like the flexibility in freeroam, but the important stuff in career would look so much better in 1440p, or 1080p. is the switch to VUE going to benifit us in that regard?

 

and at the same time, playing on a small screen (1366x768 in my case) results in an excessively cramped UI, you can barely see the map screen behind the delivery menu, for example.

 

do you really play like that? last time i played beamng in 720p was a long time ago
