0.31 Discussion Thread

F7

 

That's in the game now? I thought it was an old mod. If it's in the game now, great, I'll look for it.

 

Nice update, but why are the parts no longer sorted alphabetically (in freeroam)?
You can't find anything anymore (especially wheels)!

 

The 0.31 is hauling!! I just love the T-Series remastering and the numerous interactive buttons to load/unload stuff, extend/retract stuff and give power to extra stuff!!
I also love the lore expansion the new 900CUI/14.75l Belasco-Diesel I6 brings, it could mean that we now have a Semi/Truck engine manufacturer in BeamNG and that's great news! It could also mean that the construction site next to the Jefferson Imports crossroad is actually there for building a Belasco-Diesel engine plant (mini update speculation here, hehe )! And the sound of this new engine is just awesome, deep, guttural, basey and growling!
Plus I like the new graphic designs, they give our beloved American Semi a nice optical pizzazz!

Found some glitches though. Don't know whether they've been mentioned or not, but here you go:
1) On the WCUSA map, I believe the Police Station Garage (and the Commercial Garage, too) should have the sound reverb effect, since it's an almost 100% enclosed space. Also, the "EXIT ->" markings are grey instead of green they were while the building was WIP and they almost aren't visible at all.
2) Again on the WCUSA map but this time on the Spearleaf Island, the Tyrannos gas station has the fuel pumps of the Trilobite gas stations along with the Trilobite logo.
3) The 1973-75 front fascia of the Moonhawk isn't colour-independent like it used to. Something seems off with it.
4) This might not be a glitch, but it's disturbing me a little bit for the time being: the PTO trigger on the conventional body (not the Cab-over) is somewhat difficult to access, even when you turn around your Driver Camera. You can only access it on Free Camera.
5) Speaking of the Driver Camera, when you set off, it now stays where you last turned it, while it automatically self-centered straight before the 0.31 (fixed, I just couldn't find the related option in the Camera settings).

I also have a question: on the Dump Bed variants, between the Cab and the Dump Bed and behind the left exhaust stack, there's a lever which moves back and forth but it seems like it does nothing. What does it actually do?

 

Make sure you always have the newest hotfixes

 

There isn't one I looked for where it could be but no luck

 

That's an option you can enable in the camera settings

 

Thanks, a hour before there wasn't a hotfix.

 

tysm devs, this bugged me more than it shouldve

 

So what's about the Custom configs (all not only T-series)? When I try to load any, only the base Version of the Vehicle come up

 

T-series rework is really cool! A lot of new stuff about my most favorite vehicle of BeamNG)
But also there are some ideas for future:
- Add more engines for T-series (maybe some V8, or even 2-stroke V engines (12v-71 please)).
- Add option to spawn vehicle with trailer attached. It's not really comfortable to spawn truck and trailer separately. Maybe it could be done as an option in car info block in vehicle spawner (where you choose color, see the spec and etc.). (You choose car > You choose trailer for car > spawn them already attached).
- (Strange midnight idea) Add fifth wheel adapter for gooseneck trailer. It sounds strange, but it real, so it would be nice to see such feature ingame)

 

so I'm in some interstellar shit

 

Really? I was just about to type this as an idea because I searched for it and couldn't find it in the camera settings. Maybe I didn't understand the way it was written. I'll search it again.

 

The cabover’s opening whatever-they’re-calleds make normal door sounds, like Covet door sounds.
I don’t think an entire cab should sound like that, but maybe I’m just too dumb

Specifically these 2

 

SSRG- Expand Signature

Dang, nice move...

 

Message of the day...? Kovet door = Tisiris cab

 

BLUF: Compression break is literally unplayable with the 5-speed automatic transmission.
The TCM (shift logic) should command gear 2 or 3 (depending on vehicle speed) when the compression brake is enabled and should only be active when above certain wheel speed and in or above compression brake minimum gear. These parameters could be changed inside the tuning menu or as a temporary fix, allow us to manually select a gear when slowing down.

 

It was implemented couple versions ago. But IT SEEMS BROKEN NOW, because no effect enabling that check. Look to the Camera tab (need to tap Driver camera first).

UPD. works fine then vehicle moves (as was intentionally)

 

Congratulations on your Staff Pick! Damn.
