Update Speculation thread

That's the full video?

 

Talking about B25's Youtube channel, he recently (as in a few weeks ago) uploaded a few tutorials that involved a Supercharger. Guess it might be for the Wendover.

 

let me do a crappy rundown. On a few bits.

First of all notice those keep fit windows ( manual winders ) But the 2nd one had a switch for powder windows :O ( I cant wait for a BASE BASE Carby 5 speed i6 With the new work fascia. :O.

NEXT is see the dash ( as said before ) on the tow rig is rounded off, While the rest are more boxy, I am wondering is dash swaps will be possible? and/or some kind of base gauges?

Next of all is the 2000 onward years. It looks to have a new cab and box. maybe.Or new dooes, ( most likely just new doors not a cab ) But yeah.


Wishlist for this.


More engines, A BIG GAS engine. Built for diesel haters. BUT with some tuning a powerhouse

Some small base v6/and a 4 cyl

Most of all bucket seats will be welcome.


EDIT pt 1 Also what is good for the D-series will be good for the H-series. BUT i think the D-series will be king. Most love in that, Now they have a box van version of my beloved ute the d-series,

Poor h-series well i still love it

 

Well that's nice, D-Series getting more heavy duty parts. Now this is a nice addition. Poor H though, poor van is getting overshadowed.

 

The H Series has been getting a lot of updates at the same time as the D Series but not as substantial in size.

 

I hope we'll get a passenger version

 

can confirm that this is for the wendover


^from the 2nd video, when Mitch is creating a new image for the UV map

"wend" > wendover
"mats" > materials

it could also be a revamp of the Legran engine because there are some legran textures that are opened in his shader editor

 

In the first video I noticed that the supercharger is similar to the Eaton M90 found on supercharged 3800s. I also noticed in the background was an exhaust manifold for a V6 and a FWD transaxle.

Both the transaxle and manifold are very similar to the ones found in my car, a 1999 Buick Regal with the N/A 3800. I suspect that all of this stuff will be for the Wendover and a LeGran remaster.

Spoiler: Picture comparisons

The front exhaust manifold routes over the top of the transaxle on the Regal, appears to be the same for the 3D model.


Even what I assume is the tube from the airbox to throttle body appears to be inspired by a real life 3800:

With all of that said, why is there a longitudinal transmission?

I expect the Wendover to be FWD because of the proportions and drivetrain sharing, so maybe it will have a racing variant with a tube chassis?

 

I'm excited to see the new D45 rollback, and the prerunner appears to be mostly in-game and functional, but what's really interesting to me in this photo is the new hubcaps available for the heavy-duty 8-lug wheels.



That means that someone on the team has had to take a close look at them recently. Could it be that we're finally going to get the ability to mount single heavy-duty 8-lug wheels to the rear as well as the front?

Of course, that would require a version of the front heavy-duty spindle to be migrated to the rear axle. They're not quite identical:

 

Using the web site SteamDB, I learned that between updates 0.19 and 0.20 there were 148 qa_lates branch updates.Since update 0.20 there have been 99 updates
Considering that updates are released every day (sometimes more frequently), update 0.21 will be released for the New Year's Eve.

It's just my theory.

 

looking at just one update is pretty meaningless, but if you got the data for a couple of them and they were at least somewhat similar you could draw some conclusions

 

I was thinking about it.
But the coronavirus and all that

 

Looking at dates across the last 3 years I'd say mid December. Logistically speaking I'd say before Christmas.

 

There's a mesh called 'test' in the ECUSA folder, you can access through the world editor.
It looks like this:

There's nothing in the rooms, but maybe they're working on houses with full interior?

 

There are already buildings with simple low poly interiors on Small Island (Bird research thing)

 

Never noticed it. Would be cool if they translated it over to other maps though (which it looks like they do imo).

 

That house is already in the game. It's the Swamp house by the lone Gas station.

 

interesting that the mesh has like a foundation or something on the bottom that can't be seen in the spot it's at

 

Uh so my uncle work has a janitor at beamng HQ, and he send me some pics of the next car their working on, it's not 100% sure this will be like this but I'm pretty confident
