Update Speculation thread

Looks exciting to me, anything to do with expanding the depth and accuracy of the simulation is awesome.

 

If I had to take a wild guess, I'd have to say the ETK is being used as a test mule, and the new AWD system is being designed with the new vehicle in mind.

 

We really need another teaser of the new vehicle... come on, throw us a bone!

 

And some confirmation as to what type of vehicle it actually is and what country it originates from would be nice too.

That way, the speculation of whether or not it's a CUV, a hatchback, or an SUV, and if it's from an already established country in game or a new one, can be put to rest.

 

No, it's a sign that Diamondback had to do a lot of research and coding to get to this point.
Making systems that do X when Y happens sounds easy but (you guessed it), it's not.
Even if we disregard the coding behind it. Launch control can be done by locking the diff in the launch control driving mode. But a diff that reacts when the other side spins x-amount faster is a bit more complicated.

So I would say that this is very exciting.

 

Obviously it's not exciting to people that just mindlessly crash cars 24/7

 

It means that the implementation of proper drive modes and electronic drivetrain control is a huge step forward for this game in terms of realism, and that is, indeed, exciting.

 

What is the 200bx doing at the beginning of the first video on the right ? Some forgotten traffic car or a little hided hint ?

 

About the latest awd progress found here:

I really enjoy seeing this. The reactive awd reminds me of my old real life R33 GTR when i launched it hard; could feel the rear wheels start to spin and after like .5 sec the front wheels started, the thrill those .5 sec gave.. still gives me goose bumps thinking of it lol

 

Exactly, I would love some new information about this new vehicle.

I totally agree with that statement. I think some information about what country this vehicle is from and information about type of vehicle it actually is would be awesome. By the way, I'm curious as to whether or not users on here like the body style of this new vehicle.

 

Looks like drag race event. Probably they were testing AWD logic there.

 

I would love to see proper torque-vectoring diffs (as in Acura's SH-AWD or the Focus RS) in the game...

 

god... does the forum hate me this much, it is interesting that you can launch though.
My bad

 

Unfortunately I agree with @AlpinaFlyer, all that teaser stuff about AWD is kinda boring. Where's the actual good stuff instead?

 

What do you all mean by "boring"? Anyone remember how bad AWD ETK K-series used to be, before the update? For me this is another good news for more various and better modern cars in BeamNG.

 

"Yeah all of this amazing work you're doing isn't interesting to me and you need to do better."
Why do I still use this forum jfc.

 

This thread only cares about cars and maps tbh
