    Just found this while editing the my bus. About a year or 2 before the WentWard bus was released by beamNG I had the codename in my main jbeam file for the schoolbus released around quarter 2 of 2017. I ended up naming my bus the Dansworth but left the codename "Wentward" in the main file.

    I don't know for sure but I hope i inspired the name Wentward!

    Thats very interesting. Congratulations to you for possibly being the inspiration behind the name of the bus :)

    This might be the weirdest coincidence I've ever seen. I never even knew your mod existed, let alone went inside the .jbeam file and read the internal name! :D Wentward came from a brief discussion we had back in December to name the bus (I just went back and found the logs). I proposed Wentworth, just a name that popped into my head after reading a list of truck builders (like Kenworth and whatnot). After realizing it was the same as a finance company, the name "Wentward" popped into my head. I proposed it in the chat and we all grew to like it and agreed to use it.

    Bus name brings me this though "going Wentwards".

    I'm not sure what it means, but I'm kinda sure if group of scientist would analyze name, they would figure out probability to end up with such name for a bus to be relatively high because thinking patterns, cultural reasons, common brands etc. So coincidence is perhaps likely to happen with this name :p

    Anyway in a world I have seen a lot of coincidences that really appear like they would be highly unlikely, sometimes it is easy to find why such still manage to happen, sometimes even quite frequently, sometimes it is kinda hard to figure it out, however every time such event does bring up smiles, so has to be thankful coincides does happen :)
