Update Speculation thread

Maybe the new facelifted Gran Marshall isnt a reality yet, but someone should make it into one. A mod or something.
Also, can someone please link me the video that showed the new revamped version of WCUSA? I swear i dont know if i dreamt that up or if it is actually a thing and cant find anything to say otherwise.

 

Okay, I could not find the vid at first. Thank you the guy who linked it.
And yeah, I can't wait for West Coast USA to get remastered. It totally needs it, big time.

 

So.... Whats so specially about it?
It just looks like they detailed and revamped the highways, but i cant see anyway some of those bold claims people were making saying that the "highways looped around the map now" or anything like that...

 

Confirmation bias: the tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.

 

Personally, what I think is special about it is that there's new trees, and that one ramp is now open. That's my take.

 

So, as far as I can tell, the Roamer has received ~45 new parts from this update, and with a few parts I missed last update, its total parts count jumps to 417 - putting it in second place behind the D-Series (~663 parts)

The D/H/Roamer's 4.1L straight-six - which I'm calling the "Stonewall Six" for brevity - has jumped 18 spots in the power range list, going from stone-cold last (0 horsepower) to 46th place (22 horsepower) thanks to the new fuel injected intake. That's only because none of the other engines received any power parts, and there are still a lot of engines that have basically no tuning parts.

Spoiler: Full Power Range List (may not be entirely accurate, but I doubt anything's significantly changed outside of the Stonewall Six)

There are still 19 engines in the 0-20-horsepower range - including the Burnside 313 (4-barrel for the 313 when?) - and judging by how long it took for the Stonewall Six to get into the 20-hp range (7 years almost to the day), I can't imagine how long it'll take for all these engines to receive their tuning parts. 2021 for the Pigeon diesel L3, 2023 for the modern ETK L4s and diesel L6, 2027 for the Vivace 1.5L diesel L4...tuning parts seem to not be the devs' focus when it comes to these base engines.

Except for adjustable rev limiters, which were added to the Burnside 313, Hopper L4/L6, and Moonhawk L6, but not the Stonewall Six (that only received a late ECU). None of the four engines listed have received any parts to make these adjustable limiters actually useful, and nor do they have the powerband to utilize them, so these engines will frag if you decide to rev them past 5,500 RPM for extended periods, but it's...something, I guess?

(maybe the 4-barrel for the 313 is actually happening?)

 

Didn't even know it had that many parts. My goodness.

 

I wonder if when we get a D series Facelift if they would give us a more modern stepside with more rounded and sleek rear wheel arches.

 

I mean - I could just be thinking too much into this but...

I sense some preparation going on there for some snipping work on our wagon's roof...
Ah yes, speculation go weee

 

sunroof + moonroof combo coming soon?

 

Just curious, where's the new minimap on East Coast USA?

 

the minimap app

 

Just thought i'd mention this- the roamer's interior is in the common folder now, meaning it's probably going to be put in the D series.

 

I just noticed that a lot of the official BeamNG vehicles don't have ashtrays or cigarette lighters. Either it's age rating bullcrap or smoking is illegal in the BeamNG universe.

Let me enjoy my MatPat moment guys.

 

The bluebuck can make an exception because it wasn't standard feature until the mid '70s, the Moonhawk on the other hand... John Candy and John Belushi certainly wouldn't approve of the Moonhawk !

 

Being that the Roamer now has them, and some of the biggest issues with everything pre Autobello is interior quality (some cars still have a void where the headliner should be...), I'm sure we will start to see some be added

 

Also, how come there's no seatbelts in any vehicle? Shouldn't they be standard on anything since at least the I-Series?

 

There's really no point due to the fact passengers aren't an official feature.

 

By that logic, having interiors at all has no point: I meant that seatbelts should just be textured on the B/C pillars, not jbeamed.
