The Polaris Slingshot seems like the exact inverse of the pigeon, and like a type of vehicle which BeamNG would greatly benefit from in terms of a believable, high performance civilian open-wheeled vehicle (aside from the much-desired Ariel Atom or Ariel Nomad, both of which would be an absolute blast to see simulated in the detail the engine is capable of providing). What do you all think? Is there a hole in BeamNG that could be filled by such a vehicle or class (civilian kit vehicles)? I personally think they would make excellent test-beds for part swapping in terms of wheels, suspensions, engines, transmissions, et cetera. Even if it doesn't make the cut for official creation and implementation, any content creator who sees this could try their hand at making this (or either of the Ariels, if such inspiration strikes) a reality.
Whoops - in searching for the Polaris I forgot to look for the most basic of things - a mega-thread. Apologies.
Something like this would be interesting I think. Well, if the devs don't do something like this, a modder could always tackle it instead. Is that thread even relevant anymore? I don't think so. I've never seen anything from that thread become something official. --- Post updated --- It's okay. That thread is useless anyhow.
I have never seen anything posted outside that thread become official. The thread exists to prevent clutter because chances are no-one who has the ability to implement this stuff is giving these "insert X vehicle" posts even a passing glance and so it hides posts that devs are actually interested in seeing
Like @SixSixSevenSeven has said, that thread is just a dumping ground for vehicle suggestions so that they don't clog up the forums. That page has (at the moment of writing this) 4427 posts and it is 222 pages long. It's fair to say that basically most vehicles have been suggested in that forum right now. I think the devs just do what they feel like doing. The thread is not useless as it is the perfect dumping ground as I said and also a good thread to post what car would be cool to have in beamng and why. You can post you thoughts on what would be cool to see ingame I guess. Or shitpost something.
I agree. That thread exists so this sub-forum don't get clogged up with threads such as "Make X vehicle" or detailed threads like this.
