Update Speculation thread

That ';-)' is making me a little suspicious..

 

I like that Italy textures. Looks like we'll get biggest and most detailed map in the same time.

 

Hard Parking was a scenario from probably 3+ years ago, not sure if this means they're bringing it back, or if they forgot to remove the last remnants of it.

And while it's not meant for release, the AI test map was accidentally added to the release build of BeamNG not too long before we got path-following AI.

 

What did it look like and what version was it? Just curious, as it obviously isn't there anymore.

 

hey theres also an unused tunnel in a far corner of utah.

This is probably going to be the original location for the driver training scenario. It is currently in ETK.

 

on the topic of unannounced maps, what about the one at 0:41 in the SBR's trailer video?

 

It... well, it looked like a test level. Placeholder textures with randomly placed AI paths, no real obstacles for the AI. No eye candy, nothing to explore. The most unique thing about it was a bridge that traveled over part of the ground-based paths. At least that's all I remember.

 

im still waiting on the first map, the dealership... but i guess that will be in career mode!

 

I think the dealership map is the map seen at the very begining of the trailer. Unless you already know that...

 

I suspect if the dealership is added to the main game, it will be added alongside career mode.

Actually, an American fire engine might be quite possible.

1: Federal Q2B Siren (Standard siren on most American fire apparatus)
2: Working hydraulic rams on the T-Series Dump Truck, wouldn't be hard to port to an aerial device.
3: The DT40L uses Gavril engines, a fire truck might use them too.
4: We still do not know of Gabester's condition. As of now CarlosAir has only designed heavy vehicles. It could be possible that Gabester wants to design the "normal" cars (ie: Bluebuck, Wendover), so CarlosAir could be assigned to heavy vehicles.
5: All the unused sirens could hint at a potential "Emergency" (no not the tv show) themed update.

If there was an emergency update, i'm not sure if it would be 0.13 because if Italy is included in 0.13, the update might be euro themed.

 

One could be for the H-Series, which some variants could use (Flatbed, Box, and Ambulance). Others could be for other heavy vehicles. Fire Truck and/or Euro Truck perhaps?

 

actually, you may be on to something... hmmmm....

anyone know when the ambulance came out?

i mean, this is what we have so far:
- Ambulance
- Police (sedan, suv, ect.)

this is what we have so far (WIP, not ingame):
- tow truck

according to Wikipedia, the five main "Emergency services" are:

• Law Enforcement
• Fire & Rescue Services
• Emergency Medical Services
• Emergency Management
• Public Works

we have the Law enforcement category, the Emergency medical services category, and the public works (to some extent, the tow truck model comes to mind.) all ingame. that just leaves the Fire & Rescue services and the emergency medical services to be desired, combine that with the Fire Station in Belasco:


and everything that Fera described, and, well... we might just have a firetruck on our hands!

 

Technically there is a fire department. It operates the Roamer Fire Chief and the H15 Ambulance (Fire & Rescue Livery). But they paid for a Q siren, so who knows?

 

whaddya mean "paid for a Q siren"?

and, either way, that just supports the theory that the emergency services in their full totality will make their way into beam!

 

The siren sounds they had to pay for to license. Siren 12 is a Federal Q2B, an extremely popular siren on fire trucks in the United States.

 

I love when fera post here it's so exciting
